    Orsolya D.

    Since March 2020, Covid has turned haircuts into a hot commodity. For a good length of time, salons were closed, then opened, then closed again and now permanently open (albeit with occupancy restrictions). Turns out that hair maintenance was another thing we took for granted and it is quite important for physical and mental well-being. I was quite lucky to not be driven crazy by the desperate need for a haircut as I connected with Covid-safe, barbicide-certified hair stylists that were doing house calls. That's how Fellow Barber came onto my radar. Bear with me and I'll explain the connection... Immediately before salons re-opened; I was transitioning from one house-call stylist to another and came across Wayne. Wayne has a pro Vidal-Sassoon training background and has worked in New York City. He was not only an awesome guy; but his haircut was magnifique and he also worked with my budget. I promised him that I would stick with him instead of returning to my salon even when it opens. I have a pixie haircut and NOT EVERY STYLIST KNOWS HOW TO CUT A PIXIE! But Wayne killed it! Salons reopened which meant that Wayne was no longer doing the Covid-safe house calls. And that is where Fellow Barber comes into the picture. Fellow Barber Shops are based out of NYC and took over all the Rudy's locations in LA after Rudy's shuttered their doors a few years ago. I actually worked as a receptionist for the Studio City Rudy's (they were a shady company with pending law suits and I worked with some horrible ladies but I digress). The point is, I know the deal with this type of barber shop: quick, affordable, sort of run-of-the mill haircuts but still with a hint of artsy flair. Fellow accepts walk-ins but appointments are best. This location of Fellow is located in Highland Park on Figueroa between Ave 56 and Ave 57. Make sure to bring quarters because parking is either street meter parking or the lot in the back which is mostly metered with the exception of some free spots if you can snag them. The shop still has the Rudy's esthetic but there isn't anything wrong with that: high ceiling loft feel, beautiful exposed brick work, wooden beams, cement floors and clean hair stations. One can't complain about how this place looks as it has that downtown city artsy, hipster vibe. I was welcomed by the receptionist whose name I didn't grab but he was very kind and accommodating even personally walking me to the rest room when I asked where it was. Wayne was still working on another client (whom apparently was 15 min late to his appt and a no-show the day before) so my own haircut didn't start until 20 minutes in. That's not a problem - but apparently Fellow has a 30-min cut limit that I was not aware of so I think that is my issues begin. Wayne asked what we were doing and I said to do exactly what he did last time. So I assumed he remembered (he didn't ask for a reminder) and he started at it. Now, I want to admit that I wasn't having a great day and perhaps Wayne wasn't either and so our energies possibly weren't clicking because something felt off. But I hoped for the best because his last cut was so amazing. Being that we started late, his next client had already showed up but Wayne did not rush me - until the end. Wayne handed me a mirror and asked how I feel. It was NOT the epic haircut he gave me last time. I asked him to go shorter and I could feel he was annoyed but he regardless did it. He then asked again and I was NOT pleased: the back had choppy spots and weren't blended well enough. When I said it didn't look right, he literally said, "It's fine." Um no, I AM THE ONE WHO SAYS WHEN IT IS FINE. IT IS MY HAIR, BUDDY. Both ear areas weren't good but I didn't say anything. I was mentioning things and he LITERALLY HUFFED AND PUFFED under his breath! Wayne, did you think I didn't hear that?! This Covid mask doesn't restrict my hearing! What the heck, dude?! I let these thing go and merely had him fix my fringey bangs a little. Long story short, I think he was just crunched for time and took it out on me. I was miserable and felt punched in the stomach because I felt personally offended and didn't like the haircut. It isn't "God awful"; but I had to try to trim it and style it at home in a way that hides the flaws. I should NOT have to do that. Wayne DID give me 20% off (he knows about my financial difficulties as Covid still has me out of work or perhaps he could tell I wasn't happy); which I appreciated. But the combination of his slight unacceptable attitude the poor haircut that doesn't even remotely resemble the kick ass job he did last time; means I will not return to Fellow. I'm so bummed. Side note: Fellow is only accepting card payments but tip payment in cash is fine. Wayne isn't terrible and neither is Fellow which is why I gave the 'average' 3-star rating but I didn't appreciate the experience and thus this was a one-time deal for me.

    Thank you, Fellow Barber for reaching out and being very responsive to my issue, I didn't mean to be a jerk but I had to speak up for myself. Mel M. is super nice and sweet, she did her best with what was available, and the customer service experience and response were spot on. I work alongside our customer service department and I understand the grief and flack they get every day. I will be back, but I'll plan more accordingly and make sure to ask questions before booking. Ty Fellow Barber!

    They keep raising their prices. Parking is impossible. No thanks. Better, cheaper options all over.

    Brian was great! Easy online booking and nice atmosphere. A bit on the pricey side but I'll go back.

    I've been seeing Steven since 2020 after a friend referred me, and WOW -- I truly thank my lucky…read morestars for this! Since then, he's done it all for me: cuts, highlights, event hairstyles, color, and extensions. I've lost count of how many Pinterest boards and inspo pics he's brought to life. Steven has made going to the hair salon a fun form of art and expression, and even more so, an act of self love... there hasn't been a time where I've left this salon feeling anything less than AMAZING. We've gone from long, jet-black hair to a cute, short lob, and most recently, he brought my absolute dream blonde bob to life -- something I was so hesitant to try because of previous hair struggles going lighter. But Steven PERRRRFECTED it for me. He listened closely to my concerns about avoiding brassiness or orange tones and took the time to get it perfect. I appreciated his honesty and open communication about the process. He never rushed, prioritized my hair's health, and still delivered the exact shade and style I was hoping for -- all without damage. I appreciate how helpful and informative Steven is with aftercare, always walking me through what products to use so my hair stays healthy and looking 10/10 between visits. Eastwood Color and Cuts is truly a place I look forward to coming to and I could not recommend recommend Steven more -- 5+++++ stars!
