Jake did a fantastic job, people at work thought I was 20 years younger, I'll take it! Thank you Jake. Old school shop that does it right. read more

It was my first time visiting Garoon today. They're not my usual barber shop, but here's why I'm coming back here again if I'm in the area: 1). Sticker shock - what they charge for the exact haircut I asked for is ridiculously reasonable! Just go see for yourself...for a minute I thought the price listed was an old one from a long time ago, but to my shock, it's actually what they charge. I may have misunderstood, but when I was ready to pay, I think I was given the choice of how much to pay within the price range. 2). Value - The kind gentleman who cut my hair said his name is Jacob. He spent over half an hour paying amazing attention to detail. I thought I was a detail oriented person, but Jacob...he gets into the minutia. Also, Jacob used so many different tools in his barber arsenal I lost count. 3). Service - Plenty of businesses are happy to take your money and fool you with pretense, trying to make you think they somehow deserve to overcharge you. This place is none of that foolishness. This experience was a SOLID customer service display. The man even helped me put on my jacket when I was leaving. Who does that these days in a barber shop? Impressive, service! I'd give 10 stars here for that gesture of customer service if I could. HIDDEN GEM read more

Good experience! Highly recommended! Barber Hkob is the best! I've been here for the past 3 years!

An old customer here, very good service and individual approach every time I or my colleagues visit Khachik's barbershop. Would definitely recommend this place. read more

An amazing 5 star experience!! Don't let the size of the barber shop fool you; there are 2 barber chairs and a hairwash station. However, what these guys lack in square footage they make up for in pizzaz, style, and great customer service!!! The boy needed a haircut -bad. After an extremely lack luster service at a local Hollywood barber shop I decided to expand my radius and take a look for somewhere else that would be a million times better. The boy is one of those old timey traditional kind of guys, so I wanted to look for somewhere that screamed "old school traditional" and not "baller gangsta big screen plasma". A quick search lead me to Garoon, which is a short walk away from the Glendale Galleria. We both walked in with no appointment, and we were both greeted accordingly. Siroush greeted him with a firm handshake and a welcome gesture towards an open chair and I was greeted (I believe by Garoon) with a kiss on the hand, and an offer of coffee (which I declined), and candy (which I accepted!). Siroush was even nice enough to change the TV station from some Armenian programming to an English version of "The View" for me. I didn't ask for the station to be changed, but don't think that went unnoticed. The boy explained what he wanted done (short on the sides, longer on top, with a shave) and Siroush got to work. Garoon, who was finishing up with a client came to talk to me after he was done, and although there was a bit of a language barrier with both men - they are both HYSTERICAL! Siroush lightly buzzed Tylers hair before he really got to work with scissors. he cleaned up his neck line, ear line, and took care of the fuzzy mess that was my boyfriends hair. He also shaved his face with a straight razor, cleaned up his stache, and (HALLELUJAH!!!) took care of Tylers eyebrows which were in a bit of a grown out stage. Now Tyler has baby baby skin (he's going to love me putting that on the internet) so his skin - especially his neck did get a bit irritated with the straight razor. But Siroush took care of that by putting calming lotion, baby powder, after shave, and everything else you can throw at a mans skin that is so sensitive it is irritated by a feather. All in all he pampered Tyler as much as a manly man will let you pamper them. Tyler came out looking even more fantastic, and the haircut and a shave cost $20 pre-tip. You know a place is good when a picky picky picky man leaves and goes "I've found my new barber shop" and for this they deserve 5 stars! read more

I have been going to Garoon for years now. I chose this store because the guys there are real barbers who take their time cutting your hair the way you want and not like other hair salons where you are just $$ for them, cutting your hair in 5 minutes. I sent my uncle and nephews there and they love it too. Actually, I am going to cut my hair today after work! read more

I have been going to Kachik for many years and always happy with his server. Thank you Kachik for your professional service.

Best place for haircut in town. The oldest salon in Glendale. Mr Khachik spent his time and gave a great cut. They offer coffee as well.

By far the best barbershop in town. And Khachik is the best barber in town. I've been going here for 15 years now (since i was 8 years old) and i've never been dissapointed with my cuts. Khachik does an incredible job. He is a real professional, has one of a kind talent, experience, and will make sure you don't leave unhappy. Great conversations, great personality, and always a friendly welcome. I recommend this barbershop to anyone who wants the best haircuts, fades, etc. Thank you Khachik, your the best. 100% read more

They fade great... When I walked in they offered me tea... where else can you get a tea & a fade???

The ten dollar haircut that's worth thirteen. As someone who gets the "senior" buzz cut I can generally go to almost any barber shop and my hair will look as good as it ever will. What I liked about this place was attention to detail. The barber I saw had the chair further from the door (I didn't catch his name). Unlike many places I've been to, he took care of those pesky hairs on the ears as well as clipped the rogue ones in my eyebrows, completely without being asked. He went over each area a few times to even everything out, and the hair line around the ears is very even and smooth. A great haircut. Most places charge $13 for a lesser job. I would also add that there is easy parking and the area is very safe, unlike what you find around many of the less pricey barbershops. I've only been this one time, but I highly recommend this place. read more

wonderful. I have been going to this shop for almost a year now. They are so professional, clean and friendly. The haircut that I get here is exactly what I ask for; way better than all the other local or chain shops that I used to go. And you get a great haircut here at about $10!! I also like the fact that the owner is a very nice and friendly man. They have recently remodeled the shop and it is now a very clean and classy shop. Highly recommended. read more

Garoon - Barbers Near Me - Glendale, California

I spent years looking for a barber and/or hair stylist that gave me exactly what I was looking for: a great haircut at a reasonable price. I spent a lot of bucks over the years going to fancy salons, but with my pocket book being stretched more than ever, I decided to look for a local "old-school" barber shop. For $10 (and a generous tip), I have been getting a first-class haircut that matches or exceeds any cut at a fancy salon. It's just a short drive from my home in Los Feliz and well worth it! read more

My goto place for a clean cut for years now. The two gentlemen take utmost passion in what they do. No wonder I look forward to the hair cut every single time. There has not been a single session that they looked disinterested. $12 per hair cut with this exemplary attitude is a no brainer. read more

Garik gave me a great haircut at a great price. I would definitely recommend Garoon as a neighborhood barber.

CASH ONLY I've been looking for a new barber since relocating. Although I have been in and around Glendale for some time now I always got my cuts in OC. And you know how much it really sucks to relocate, leave your established hair stylist, and start back from square one. I called in advance to see if they accepted walk-ins. Let's just say that it doesn't help when (a) there is a language barrier and (b) cell reception stinks where you are. So I just went for it considering that they're just a hop, skip, and jump from the Galleria. It's a small lot but I must have been lucky for a weekday afternoon. Inside it's your typical no-frills barbershop. They have TVs running behind the chairs so that you can get your CNN fix (?) while your hair is being cut. There isn't much dialog because unless you speak Armenian, you're almost out of luck. Although I'm born here I don't speak the language...yet there's an unspoken understanding.* Without being asked they took care of my eyebrows and other rogue hairs because like my fellow brethren we can be a bit on the hairy side. They also really took their time to get my receding line taken care of. The result? A clean fade that probably would have cost $15 but ended up being $10. Not bad. This just may end up becoming my new barber. Stay tuned. * Soapbox time. I've seen other reviews about barbershops around Glendale being "racist" or playing favorites. Guess what? Every ethnicity has its unspoken "language" or "favorites" so please don't pretend that this doesn't go on in other ethnic shops. read more

Love this place! I have been coming to this barber for over 10 years. That already says a lot. Master class barber work for unbelievably inexpensive prices! Highly recommend! read more

I've been going to Garoon since the original owner Krikor started his own shop in Glendale. Krikor spoke very little English but had been cutting my hair since elementary school. When I was in college he finally retired, but came in to "train" the new owner Khachik on how to cut my hair. Sadly Krikor passed away a few years later - I will always miss him very much. Khachik has been taking care of cutting my hair since then. Yes, he doesn't speak that much English but its far better than my Armenian since I know only a few curse words- but still we have managed over the years to communicate quite well. I have been to other barbers during this time and have always regretted doing so and was never as satisfied by my cut as I always have been and always will be if I go to Garoon. And yes, I have been at the shop when I had to wait my turn - this happens with all popular barbers. Its nothing I would care to complain about because it is worth the wait. Go ahead and go to some high priced place if you want if you are going to complain about appointments being met promptly. I am sure Fantastic Sams or Supercuts will treat you as indifferently as they treat all their other customers and you won't likely see the same barber ever again even if you are repeat customer. I for one am content to sit at Garoon and wait my turn. And if you are going to get all butt hurt because you feel that they are warmer towards regular customers than they are to you as you scowl at them because of the wait, perhaps you need to understand what building a rapport with your barber entails. Sure whatever random barber that you happen to be assigned to at other places may kiss your ass better if that's what you really want. For me I will continue to go to Garoons, listen to the old dudes who I routinely see in the shop and over the years have begun to recognize on sight while they chat and joke around in Armenian, sipping coffee and tea while I wait for my turn in the seat. It's all part of the old school neighborhood barber shop experience after all that you will be hard pressed to find everywhere. read more

This is the best barber shop in glendale. It's been a 10 years I'm going there :) and never disappointed. I recommend everyone who are live near to Glendale just try you'll see what I mean. Thanks Mr Khachik. read more

Best haircuts ever. This is the first place I have ever been where I like my hair immediately after walking out of the place. Every other time in my life that I have gotten a haircut, it's taken a couple weeks to grow in and look decent. These guys really know what they're doing and they use techniques I've never even seen before. Really logical techniques that make me wonder why no one else has ever done these. My hair is awesome every time. Mega cheap too! Go and tip well! read more

This place is awesome, ask for Siroush. This is a classic barber shop with some nice middle eastern touches, if you've been out towards that part of the world you understand that the barber shop is a great place for a man to visit - get your beard handled here. This is the place you go if you can get your hair-cut done with a clipper or if you want a real full-on shave. Very enjoyable razor sharp shave to my head and face costs $15, well worth it on a Sunday afternoon in particular . . . read more

This place is awesome! I'm a hip lady with long hair and the sides of my head shaved, let me tell you, they were wondering what i was doing there when I first walked in. I got a bangin' haircut for $10. TEN DOLLARS. I will never get the sides of my head shaved anywhere else, including mom. Sorry, Mom. read more

Communication was bad ended with a ok haircut not what I wanted older guy was extremely nice but need to work better in communicating!

Great haircuts at an incredible price. They take pride in their work and really take their time in giving me a good haircut. This is the only barber I go to now. read more

First time i went to this barber in 1996 and was going there for 4 years, but after moving to new place decided to try new barber who was close to me. After going to the new place for about year i could see that i am still not geting what i used to get, not even close. So i decede to go back, even if i have to driver longer distance. Now i have been going there for another 10 years,though i now live even further away. I drive from Encino all the way to Glendale just to see him. Khachik is a great barber,, very experienced and is only one that knows how to make it wright for me. He is also very nice, kind and a friendly man. He never rushes it like others who want to get rid of you in order to get the second customer, he makes sure that he finishes right and neat. Great barber!!! read more

I've been coming to Garoon since I moved to Los Angeles about three years ago. It's a great no frills barbershop that has very reasonable prices. While there is a bit of a language barrier (I don't speak Armenian) both barbers are friendly and I'm always able to effectively communicate how I want my hair cut. Both barbers do good work. This place is CASH ONLY. read more

Wov! This place plays favorites. I waited for 30 mins and they took their friends and family before they serviced me even though they came later. Never going back again. read more

This place is so ignorant because they made me wait 1:30 minutes four a decent haircut. I had a appointment for 4:00 and I got on the barber chair on 5:30. read more

This place is great! They really take care of you and make you feel like they are giving you all of their attention (not just waiting for the next customer). Highly recommended. read more
