    Men's Haircut
    Ayoosh K.

    It's hard to find a barber that fits your style and needs. Having lived in the south and getting fresh fades , you get picky about your cuts. Xavier does an excellent job to make you feel welcomed. He's always making jokes, speaking wisdom to all of us. While you're waiting you can get a beverage or play game of chess with others. This is rare vibe for Santa Monica and I highly recommend.

    Egregious razor bumps from dirty blades and rough shaving techniques.

    Got a haircut from here last week. Xaviers tools were very dirty and these are the results of my haircut. Terrible razor bumps that I have to deal with for several weeks now. I'm infuriated by this. People, inspect your barbers supplies before you decide to get a haircut. Not only that, but his shaving techniques were very aggressive toward the back of my head. My fade was pretty bad too. Other than that Xavier is a nice guy.

    Xavier follows my direction to a "T" every time.

    I found Cuttin' Up last year when I was searching for black-owned businesses to support and am so grateful! I have tight curls and a couple of cowlicks that are tricky but Xavier knows how to manage all types of hair. Everything else must be so easy! They do all hair types and it's fun to stop in and come out with a new attitude.

    How is this considered a taper?

    Came here on August 7th everyone. inside was very friendly. Aside from that there's nothing else that's great about this barbershop. I got a botched hair cut and sad "taper" which was basically a straight line above my ears. The tapper fade on the back of my neck is uneven and their are a lot of even patches all around my head. To be honest I've had much better fades when I was in Afghanistan with crappy equipment in the middle of nowhere. I probably wouldn't come back here ever again. But I feel bad because I walked into the shop with $20's nobody had change for a $20, so I didn't tip and kind of felt bad. But she definitely didn't deserve a tip at all.

    Nothing to slick back not a gentlemen's cut

    It's great family owned. The cut was fast and price is reasonable . I can't complain much when the cut was $40 versus $75

    I went there after scrolling through the app and thats the only place i liked, the owner daniel…read moretalked me through everything on the app and helped me find a suitable barber. the vibe there is immaculate, Isaiah was incredibly professional and got everything i wanted done perfectly. from the hair shave to the bread line up. 1.2 hours of a haircut flew by so quickly by how well me and him connected, and the cut had just the right amount of small talk. the shop itself is also a vintage clothing gallery, and they sell cologne and other products. i wish i was from the US so i could go to such a place regularly. already booked a second cut just before flying back home!

    They change our appointment time, but then when we go, we had to wait more than 20 minutes. I…read morethought the cut includes shampoo, but wasn't. We paid the first time customer price, so it was sort of reasonable with tip, but from next time, the touch up for $70 + tip or full haircut for short hair $100 + is a bit too much for what we can afford now. We like the haircut though. They are good. Any good hair salons, barbers are so pricey around west LA lately. If you can afford that price, I would recommend this guys here.
