Cecilia is amazing, affordable and pleasant to be around. Been coming for years. Much rather give my money to a local mom and pop establishment than one of those giant corp spots charging $50+ for a men's trim. Gotta be insane. read more

First time as a walk-In and took care of me right away. Cecilia it's amazing and quite lovely with her cat " lonely" Definitely will come back. read more

Echo Barber Shop - Cecilia with her cat after cleaning up my hair - Barbers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

1000/5 stars if I could rate the business and the owner that much. The owner is kind and sweet and although the shop is tiny, her hospitality and attention to detail with your haircut is going to be superb. This lady has a very nice way of getting a person to feel comfortable, acknowledged and appreciated for their visit. She went above and beyond and I would come back her regularly for sure. read more

I usually cut my own hair but on this day I just didn't feel like it. Googled cheap haircuts near me and this place came up. Reviews were good so I decided to walk there. Super hot outside but whatever for $10 I was willing to do it plus I was able to get my daily walk in. I went on a Wed about 11am it was one in the chair and one guy waiting. It's a super small place so I waited outside. After about 20 mins of waiting the guy that was in the chair came out to leave and proceeded to tell me Cecilla said she can't do my hair because she doesn't cut my type of hair. I was shocked. I went inside and asked her. Sure enough she said she can't do it because she's never cut my type before. I'm assuming she means BLACK HAIR! Trying not to get pissed. I told her my hair is cut just like you're cutting everyone else's hair. Same clippers, razors whatever she uses. She just shook her head and kept saying she can't do it. I literally rock a BUZZ CUT, no parts, no designs or anything so I'm trying to understand what the problem was. Anyhoo I left pissed off because not only did I walk up in the heat but I waited outside for 20 mins before finding out she wasn't going to cut my hair. She could have told me when I first walked up and peeped inside, or at anytime while I stood outside waiting. Had I not gone in to confirm what the guy told me she was going to start on the other customers(the one waiting when I arrived) hair and not say anything. I guess leaving me outside another 20 mins. Poor service and felt a bit racist. read more

What a great little barbershop in the heart of Echo Park! The price, results of my haircut, and hospitality I experienced were all 10/10. Everyone should support local businesses like this, especially since lots of men just go to cheap places like SuperCuts anyway. Very satisfied, I will come back. :) read more

I've been going to Cecilia about once a week for the past year now. I like to keep my sides clean so I go weekly. She does a great job, and she's super nice. She had been charging $10 for years, which is insanely cheap for LA. She recently started charging $15, and it's STILL AN INSANELY CHEAP PRICE. These days LA barbers act like they got their degree at Harvard and you gotta make an appointment with 2 months advance notice, personal references, and then they have the audacity to charge $50 because they throw in some cheap wine and beer. Please. But with Cecilia you can just show up, maybe wait 10-15 minutes if she has a customer waiting, and get a great haircut for $15. Highly recommend! read more

One of the best barber shops in town the ladies very nice. She always cuts my hair and she does a great job on my boys been coming here for years. read more

Hidden gem! Only $10. No appts needed. I went around 3 pm and walked right unto the barbers seat. Cecilia even takes a razor to shave the edges. There is no pretense here. She is hustling and working hard. Great cut. read more

Cecilia is a sweetheart and like the outcome of my haircut. It is a small old fashion barbershop. It is walk in only, no appointment. She is quick and definitely worth the time to wait. I have a month or so going to her and always enjoy my time with her. She's the best :) read more

HIDDEN GEM!!! Price can't be beat - only $10! Walk-ins only, so you may have to wait in line - although I went on a Thursday afternoon & walked right in. There is literally only 1 chair, so it feels like a private experience. Cecilia is lovely, highly skilled, and very Covid conscious (she wore a mask the whole time and let me know she is vaccinated). I don't do anything fancy with my hair, but I let her know the kind of cut I wanted and showed her a photo and she did an excellent job. I was in and out in 15 minutes! Great experience all around and I will definitely be back....and did I mention SHE ONLY CHARGES $10?!?!? read more

Really wanted to like this local shop, but my college age son got his haircut here, had a good photo of himself with the cut he wanted, they cut his hair almost opposite of the photo. Cut was terrible, read more

Cecilia is the coolest! Great haircut, great price, great conversation. I don't live in Echo Park but I'm getting my haircut here whenever I'm in town, which is often. read more

Call before you arrive, but the guys always love the cuts they get here. Small and speedy Echo Park spot! read more

Cecilia is the best. sweet and very kind. she often stays open for me cuz i'm always comin late from work, best price and best service. a very comfortable experience. has been my go-to for the past 2 years, and will continue to be so. read more

Very good place unbelievable price(10)$ Fast Nice haircut Fades Nice service The lady is very nice person read more

What is ironic is the lengths hipsters will go to to recreate what they imagine a real barber shop might have been like in the 1930s, only to charge $35 for a men's haircut that is sloppy and devoid of any real craftsmanship--and people pay for it! Echo barber has one chair (as most old school barbers did) and a second generation barber who was trained by her father. Her father was trained as old school barbers used to be trained: the apprentice method. A barber in Chihuahua promised to take him on if he would first work as a shoeshine boy. I learned all this while the barber gave me skillful 8 dollar haircut. You read that right: 8 bucks. A remarkable feat in the age of the 4 dollar coffee, to be sure. Not to mention a complimentary straight razor shave on your neck and Mexican Coke to quench your thirst. It should be noted too that in 1935 the price of a haircut was 36¢. With inflation that would be $6 today. read more

Echo Barber Shop - Barbers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The place is poorly decorated. It's very cramped and cluttered. The radio plays some station in spanish that's between stations and makes static when the clippers are running. All this is funny and has nothing to do with the haircut. All Juan's tools are regularly sterilized, cleaned and organized. The razor's always super sharp. The hair cut will take a while as he carefully eliminates every stray. I'm not a fan of long hair cuts but he is not slow, he's just detailed. The time is well worth it. He speaks English and Spanish and is quiet and nice. You'll get exactly what you want. Currently, he's only charging $8 per cut and it's way better than any cut I've ever gotten at Rudy's, Floyd's or Supercuts. read more

See all

This is the place to get your hair cut in Echo Park. I've been going to this barber shop for nearly three years now and loved every haircut. It's a locally and woman owned barber shop that's been in the community for many many years. On top of a great and affordable haircut it's always cool to support a local business with your dollars. Pass on the hipster barber shops that'll cost you 30 bucks a cut. Come to Cecilia, throw down fourteen bucks, be part of the community, look amazing, go buy yourself a banh mi down the street at KG Bakery with the money you saved. You're welcome. Just FYI it is cash only. read more

Cecilia is amazing! She can give a mean haircut and do it really fast. I love chatting with her in Spanish, she's a fixture of the community. She took over from her father 13 years ago or so and she's still going strong. No appointments, walk ins only. I told her to raise the prices because the owner is threatening to raise her rent. $10 cut is too cheap in LA. read more

I couldn't past up on getting a haircut from a shop with its building painted in traditional barber pole colors. as far as the cut, it was cheap ($8), quick and decent. precision and details are important to me and the barber, well she came up a bit short. overall, worth an experience and I hope this review does not discourage you from giving this spot a try, 'cause the shop does have a certain charm with a one barber seat set-up. it looks like it's been in the neighborhood for a long time, probably perform thousands of cuts and I would like to see it continue to be in business. read more

Echo Barber Shop - Barber Shop - Barbers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I just went here for the first time this evening. I walked in looking like a bum and walked out looking like a millionaire. This is my new barber 100%! While I've had equally good haircuts in the area there has always been "please book online" or "yeah come right in we got you... (and I get there)... hey man thanks for coming in can you wait like two hours?" Echo Barber is the barbershop of my dreams. Absolutely zero BS... good haircuts for $10. It reminds me of the places I went to as a child. Sit down, good haircut, thanks for coming in and we didn't break the bank. I have to mention I walked by another barbershop on the way there and the way home. The guys that were in the chairs when I first passed were still in the chairs the second time. I'm not advocating for going fast and doing a junk job but when a little shop can blast out a solid cut in under 15 minutes for only $10 you can bet I'm not going to waste my time in a shop where I have to pay, at least, three times the price and not be as satisfied with my haircut. Support local businesses and let the mighty chains burn. read more

Its a really cool little hole in the wall barber shop. Friendly service and a quality cut for a low price. Cecilia is an awesome barber. Get your fade done here. read more

I was going to go to American Barbershop for 25-plus dollars, they seem real nice. But I didn't wanna get fussed over, and spend a lot of time and energy. Instead went around the corner to this little unassuming joint with one barber chair and some "waiting" chairs aligning the walls. The space is tiny, the lady worked super deft and quick, chargingTEN bux. I was in such a hurry, I have to tell you I was delighted to be in, wait five, and back out in ten minutes. Real nice person working there. If you want fussy and high maintenance, go elsewhere. Otherwise, "in-n-out haircuts" is a good place to try. I mean Echo Barber Shop. read more

this place pretty fire I walked in on a Monday and in like 30 minutes my hair was already done and it was pretty good and she's nice so

Highly recommended! No-frills and reasonable prices. She does a much better job than most expensive barbers. She's also really cool and your (short) time there is very enjoyable read more

Ok guys, let's not complain about this place. It is $8 for a haircut!!!! $8, you hear this! Where else can you go get a good and decent haircut for $8 by a real barber. The old art of being a barber is almost gone and being replaced by stylist and trendy hair places. If you want aesthetics and have cash to burn then go to a fake barber like Rudy's or Supercuts or to any of those hair salons frequented by hipsters. This place is an old fashion type of barber shop. It is small, I take that back, it is tiny but I can't complain for $8. Juan the barber will cut your hair however you want it. Hipsters are welcome but don't complain. read more

About as no nonsense, straight forward, old world barber experience you can get. The place is small, one chair so one customer at a time. He's an elderly spanish man, very pleasant, quiet and knows his stuff. He doesn't say too much unless you can speak spanish. Took his time and all I was getting was a standard hair cut. Very meticulous, isn't rushed at all so unless you have the time, don't expect this guy to hurry. The place is sort of a mess but in a nice way. Freaking stuff everywhere and on the radio was Aida opera by Verdi. SO no hip-hop, classic rock or muzak for this guy. Which was fine for me. read more

So lovely! She's quick, wildly inexpensive, and does great work. She handled my mohawk upkeep and fade for a long time and I was never disappointed. Make sure you tip! read more

This lady is so humble and gets down in cutting hair Great shop! Will be back definitely! read more

Perfect haircut experience! Cecilia is incredibly kind and skilled at cutting hair. The shop is quite small but is in a convenient location and is very nicely painted in red and blue barber shop colors. The price is unbeatable as well, which adds to the complete experience. read more

$8 for a haircut - cash only. You can't beat that! Besides the amazing price, she does an awesome job on hair -- my neck was squared away with a straight razor, she clipped my sides, took care of the top and hooked my part up. I was paying $30 for the same thing... not anymore. So glad I tried this place out. REMEMBER -- CASH ONLY read more

I love Cecilia. She is the ONLY barber I use, and have been going to her for over a year. Very nice, always an excellent deal. More tip for her great work. The first time I went to her, I was offered a new job the next day. How's that for a story? I endorse her 100%. read more

Exactly what a barber shop should be! One stool, friendly service, family owned, cheap, good quality quick cut.

This place rules. Cecilia is friendly and gives great cuts. Every bit as good as any haircut I've gotten from Rudy's, and about a third of the price--plus you get the satisfaction of putting money directly into the pocket of a neighborhood shop owner and community member. Go now! read more

Love this spot ! Discovered this gem about a month ago and sure it's small and there's only one barber but you can't beat the price and quality . Been here 2 times so far and I like the cuts more and more each time. Def worth checking out read more

Best place in a sea of barbers in the Echo Park and Silverlake area. I called 6 places looking for a regular haircut and many quoted me over $30. I explained I just needed a fade. They said the same price. I called this place and it was only $8. I parked and found the lady charming and knew the area well. The haircut was on point and I officially found my new barber in this area. I would recommend parking a couple blocks away because it is free. read more

My normal go to spot for a haircut. She runs a one man shop so often there is a wait. Also, if she is sick or away then obviously the shop will be closed. I have come a few times on Saturdays where the shop was closed for the day. Shes quick and skilled and the room is surrounded in mirrors so you can see what shes doing at all times pretty much. She has given me great advice on shampoo choices and also instructions on how to better care for my hair in the shower. Her prices are great and pretty much can't be beaten. read more

Cecilia will give you a killer cut for an unbeatable price, all with unrelenting friendliness to boot. $10, cash only. I end up willing my hair to grow faster each month just so that I can make a visit sooner. Highly recommend! read more
