Expert Barbers of Torrance is ALRIGHT with us! Nick does a great job with my 9 year-old's hair cut--no small feat when it seems most "stylists" and barbers over his sweet young life have not listened and *butchered* his hair! Bonus for my son: he likes that Nick can do the cut without spraying his hair with water (yes, my son is more cat sometimes than human!). Besides being confident my son will get a good and fairly-priced haircut here, I dig the ambience of this classic barber shop. There's wall-to-wall photographs of iconic, American stars of the stage and screen to peruse while I wait in the ample waiting area, and classic rock coming through the speakers. A sign greets me to my right giving notice that "This place is politically incorrect...If this offends you, LEAVE" (see pic)--SHOOT IT IN MY VEINS! read more

Got an excellent hair cut at expert barbers. Nick and bourbon always hook it up with a professional amazing haircut.

Great service, great cute and there is always something good to talk about! I'd call it a best kept secret!

I go to Nick for hair cut. Its always quick and turn out great. Nick is really friendly and have amazing service. He is chill and the wait if there is any usually isnt too long. Been cutting my hair here since 2020. read more

Came in on this rainy day with no wait. CA live was on the TV and Nick got right to work on this masterpiece. I've come to Expert once before and really liked the outcome so I came back. I simply asked for a 1 on the sides and just enough on top to comb it over. Blend the sides and hard part with a line. Took just about half and hour and it's probably the best haircut I've received in awhile if ever. I'll definitely come back to get this one done or another one come the new trends. Thanks, Nick!! read more

Owner- Good barber. Second guy in shop- never sat in his chair. His work looks okay but not my style. Prices are great but there are issues... no appointments and parking is tight. But my biggest concern- no masks on the barbers and they do not clean after each patron. That's just gross overall. All in all, I'd recommend them but not during covid since masks are not happening- even when you ask- and the place is dirty af. read more

Worst haircut recieved. Did not listen to clear instructions when I said do not cut/cut here. Now have to go to another barber to fix. Stay away. read more

Been going here for years Nick is a great barber berm is a good barber Cheaper then most barbershops great place

Great place!!! Good service and good people! Excellent hair cuts!!!! Cool vibe and lots of great older celebrity photos on the walls! Nick and Berman! The best around!!! read more

Called from 3pm on sat march 14th but not Answer now it's 445pm and I'm across the street but they close at 5pm guess they don't need the business. Nick replies back they both were there but very slow due the virus so they both went home early. After clients left when I left after 6pm no one left or entered the salon. read more

Excellent men's haircut, excellent fading, can't beat the prices, low wait times, and high quality.

Nick is awesome, been going to him for over 10+ years. Price is great and the quality is something you could get paying double the amount somewhere else read more

This place is an expert at wasting your time. I called for an appointment, the person who answered said no appointments just come in, walk ins welcome. So I drop by at 9:15 am on Saturday and they're closed, but Yelp says they're open at 9:00 am. So I'm thinking maybe they're just running late. I wait until 10:00, walk in and I'm the 2nd person in "line". The owner tells me that the barber will be here soon. Since I already wasted around 40 minutes why not just wait a little longer right? I sit here waiting for another 20 minutes with no one showing up yet. Well another 2 people come in, sit down in line, then the owner starts working on their haircuts. Me and this other guy looked at each other, thinking we've been waiting in line first and the owner decides to help someone who walked in after us. They just give priory to their regulars? Or was this an appointment? Oh right, they don't have appointments, so why did they skip us two who were waiting first? I decided I've wasted enough time here so I left to another local barbershop. read more

I have gotten my haircut by Nick before and he does an amazing job...however the other older gentlemen with the big mustache can't blend for shit. I came in for a quick haircut for my son and what a waste of 20$. That dude also gives off racist vibes and says inappropriate stuff while he talks read more

My son and I always come here. The barbers are friendly and they always have something interesting to watch on TV. Very cool vibe and the price is great. read more

Nice barbershop. Open when others are not. Ambiance is cool Nick is personable and has a sense of humor. Nick was knowledgeable and skilled. Will definitely be back. read more

First weekend of pandemic reopening, and one of our MUST stop is a haircut for my son. We called to ask about reservation, they told us it's not necessary (Great! ) It's our first time here and I can tell that both men who were working are very skilled. I was right, my son got himself a very nice haircut. I will be happy to keep coming back to support this business read more

Expert Barbers - Entrance Door - Barbers Near Me - Torrance, California

INCONSISTENT and UNPROFESSIONAL. I gave this place a lot of my business. Never again. The barber is NICK. His motto is "The customer is NEVER right." He cuts it HIS way, only. And it may be different each time. If you go back and point out his mistakes, don't be surprised if he goes PSYCHO and gets as defensive as a crazed school girl . In fairness, I can not account for the other barbers. Just AVOID NICK! Or, to be safe, find another, more Consistent and Professional hair service option. read more

Completely butchered my hair: - asked for a zero fade; got a #2 - asked for no hair thinning; got hair thinning - didn't ask for a hairline shave across my forehead; got a hairline shave (the hair is now starting to grow and it looks even more ridiculous now as little hairs stick up from the front of my head) So don't be shocked if or WHEN you get the opposite of everything you've asked for. This place is bizarro land. Nick (I think he was the owner) totally screwed up my hair. It's gonna to take at least 3 months, or longer, for the hair to grow back to original form. Also, on another disgusting note, Nick asked me to wash my hair in the restroom sink (which I've never had to do -- EVER -- at any halfway decent barbershop) then he hands me a towel. As I walk to the restroom, I look down at the towel and it was completely filthy with dark black streak marks, like he used it to wipe the floors. And not sure if $16 is the normal charge for a fade here or if he overcharged me for washing my own hair in their restroom sink smh. Never ever will return. Not sure if he was having an off day or if he just didn't like me, but I'm a pretty relaxed person, so I just let all that slide, didn't make a fuss, paid him (with a tip), and walked out. read more

Nick at expert barbershop has been so far the BEST experience that I've had compared to any other barber shops I've taken my son to. He is super friendly and so patient , he gave my son a great haircut which he loved and I do too! He was a blessing to us that day , God bless him ! read more

Expert Barbers - Christopher happy with his haircut ! Thanks again Nick! - Barbers Near Me - Torrance, California

Giant waste of time. I have been coming to expert since they were on prairie and Daisy was around. I stopped when she passed away. Today I thought I'd give it a try. Called to set appt and they told me no appts just walk INS and they weren't busy. So I pull up come in 5 min after and there's 2 people in both seats, and 2 people waiting before me.1 person after me walks in. So they take the next two guys up and I'm waiting for my turn and the asian barber calls his buddy up before me by name. So I just waited 40 minutes to be pushed back. Naw not today. I'm seriously disappointed in the service. Not coming back. Too much yapping not enough work. read more

I'm so happy to have found this place when I came to North Torrance. I always used to dread haircuts but Nick is great and always gives me a clean cut. He is very welcoming and really is an expert barber. I have been coming here for a few years now and thought it was worth writing a review so I might be biased but you want to see the consistency when you get a haircut and feel like they are treating you like family, which is something they do. Oh yeah and just to show Nick is a stand up guy, he didn't raise his haircut prices the whole pandemic. He cares for his customers and wants to give them the best service without hurting your bank account. read more

Been looking for a new barber for a while and I was really happy with Nick's work. Very well priced and i will definitely come back soon!

Called and was told there was no wait. Walked in, and no one said anything to me. Both chairs were filled with 1 guy in front of me. I waited and finally a chair opened up. The barber just stood in front of his empty chair while watching TV while I stared at him waiting for a greeting or a welcome to the chair. I thought ok, maybe he's cleaning up or maybe he needs to prep, so I waited for 7 minutes watching him continue to watch TV. Someone walks in, he greets him and says come have a seat. I got up and left. read more

Nick is the man! Even with my mask on and several weeks between cuts, he remembers me and the cut I like. Delivers it perfect every time! read more

First of, last time u called here they gave me some weird situation like the guy that can only do fades come on certain days. Secondly, this place is dope meaning the barber which I didn't get his name was an EXPERT, at his craft. Try it for yourself but I liked my cut, I will be coming here again, specially since I am walking distance. Thank you for listening. read more

Usually solid cuts for the price. Went today at 1:30pm and it was closed (Tuesday. 12/21/21) I called and no answer either. I'm not sure if they are still open. read more

Been going here for a while. Alway a great cut and a good price. They are fast and never a very long wait.

This spot is located on the corner of 182nd & Crenshaw. It's in between am/pm & the post office with their own little parking lot that's shared with 2other small businesses (card shop & a lab office). Parking is a little tight. My boys have been coming here forever and continue to come every month. The cuts are super cheap but the cuts are high quality. My son has been going there since he was 4 and is now 17. These guys have a lot of patience & skills. My brother n law who is also special needs comes here. He always ask for his "fade" proudly. read more

This place is called Expert Barbers for a reason...they are "Experts". Daisy is by far, the best in what she does. Be specific in what type of haircut you want and she will deliver. My husband has been getting haircuts from Daisy for years (following from barber to barber) & now my 4 1/2 year old son is getting his haircuts with Daisy. My son is usually scared to get haircuts but she is very gentle and knows what she's doing. We also know that her daughter Jasmine is now following her mother's footsteps and being an Expert Barber. Go Jasmine!!!! I would recommend calling to make an appointment ahead of time or at least call to see how they are running. Yes they are busy because yes they are good. Wouldn't you be concerned if they were always available for haircuts. Keep up the good job guys you'll be seeing us for years to come. read more

Friendly guys. Efficient cuts. Very clean. Great value. Cool decor. The guys are always good for a laugh or two!

Honestly I have gotten my hair cut multiple times here and every time they cut it just the way I like it. I never had to wait to long to get a cut. They have good customer service. read more

I walked in and there was no wait. There was two barbers present, but none of them acknowledged me until I asked if they accepted walk-ins. The owner pointed me to an older man. I sat in his chair and told him what I wanted. The haircut itself was fine, but the barber who attended me was very unprofessional and unpleasant. He was talking to another barber the whole time I was getting my hair cut, and he just kept making very sexist and racist comments. Then the phone rang, and the he yelled "FUCK!" when the call ended. Then he went on and on about how people nowadays are addicted to their phones, and how back in his day everything was all better... blah blah blah. The whole time I was hoping that he would just finish my haircut so I could walk out of there. Definitely not returning. Prices are great but the barbers are a bunch of angry boomers. read more

Was able to get my son and myself a nice hair cut during Covid . There was a bit of a wait but, thats to be expected as a lot n of people are on need of a hair cut. read more

Wow! I can say that this barber shop truly cares about their customers. I been going here for some time and NOT once i have ever complained about my haircut. I will keep going here! the barbers make you feel so welcomed and very knowledgeable! Please support business like this! Keep up the good work guys! Happy Holidays and a thank you! read more

For years I've been experimenting with different barber shops, but could never find a place that could cut consistently. Just recently, I came across Expert Barbers and decided to give it a try. For once I can finally say I've found a place that can cut my hair the way I wanted. They offer a range of traditional to modern styles for men & boys. The place is pretty clean and the atmosphere gives off a 50's vibe. Staff is very friendly and service is unlike any other barber shop I've been to. They make you feel very welcomed and as an added bonus they offer refreshments while you're waiting. Overall the place is very deserving of 5 stars, heck would even give it 6 stars if there were an option. Would definitely be going back! read more

This is my favorite place to take my dad for a beard/mustache trim! Nick is such a gentleman and very professional! All the other barbers who have trimmed my dad's beard in the past have been really rough. I always have to tell them that my dad has very thin and sensitive skin on his face and neck. My dad is 86 years old and Nick is one of the few people who treats him with kindness and patience. Thank you for being the BEST barber I've ever met!!! read more

Nick is simply the best. Hands down. I've always dreaded haircuts. No matter what barber or salon I go to, I almost never feel like I get the cut I want, and that's mostly on me and my lack of fashion sense. I visited Expert Barbers on a whim about half a year ago and now I won't go anywhere else. I explained to Nick what I wanted the first time, and not only has he provided an excellent haircut time and time again, but he's a wonderful person to have a conversation with. It doesn't matter how much time is in between haircuts; Nick remembers you, what you want, and is genuinely interested in how you are doing. Even though I no longer work in the Gardena area, I still make an effort to come here for all my haircuts. Not to mention, the price is outstanding for what you get. This is truly a hidden barbershop gem in LA. read more

Once upon a time I was on a tight schedule and I was in a need of a fade. Nevertheless from the corner of my eye I see a barber shop, I decided to stop by, I was worried because not everyone gets down to chop it up. Long story short, I came out looking fly like a spankin brand new dove in the sky! Definitely my go to chop shop! read more

Been going here for years, always went for Nick and i don't even have to say what kind of haircut i want because he already knows
