Today was a generational haircut day at Hair Architects. Both my sons got haircuts, then my dad got a haircut, and then I got one. All the Georges in the chair. It was a great time and they did an excellent job on everyone. I do not even have to go into the price, because the price is always right here. It just feels good to walk in, sit down, and know you are going to walk out cleaned up and looking sharp without any drama. Five stars all the way for Hair Architects. read more

If you're looking for a quality hair cut at a competitive price you've found you're spot. It has an old school feel to the place. From my understanding it's been there over 30 years. You can't go wrong with anyone there. read more

I had a three day ordeal with this business. After being recommended by a friend, I contacted the number that I was provided, which apparently was the mall location. The employee that answered the phone rush me off the phone several times telling me that the owner was not not offer any assistance in trying to locate him or make an appointment. In fact, the advice was that they didn't know what to tell me, I should call back in 2030 minutes, and, my , when the phone was not connecting with the other location where I was told the owner was, the person who answered the phone told me to the number. Well, I googled the number and got the other location. very pleasant phone and told me that the person I was looking for was not but that I could make an appointment. This person also told me that the owner, Mark, we call me the next day to confirm. the evening of the next when I had not heard from the owner, I called the shop back, and the very nice person at the second location assured me that I was confirmed. The following day, when I showed up at the location on , with my 12-year-old son, who the appointment was for, we walked into the barbershop at 4:30 on a Wednesday afternoon through three men, having a conversation, none of whom spoke to us. My son and I sat for a couple minutes before one of the gentleman asked what we needed, and my son said he was here to see Mark. Well, the gentleman that asked my question be Mark then follows is an unprofessional and disrespectful back-and-forth with the owner telling me that he does not make appointments, no one can confirm for him, and even suggesting that I wait for someone that was on their way, but not present in the shop. We eventually get past this, and my son gets in the chair with pictures on my phone of the shape that he would like. read more

Years of experience with the original owner. The shop has shifted owners but still the best hair cuts styles and hair care in Los Angeles.

This place is way better than In The Cut in Inglewood. I'm not saying this is the best barber ever, but I've been going here for over a decade and I really appreciate this place after I visit most other barber shops in the neighborhood because they are consistent. You shouldn't expect the best customer service in a barber shop in Inglewood but you will always get a decent cut here and there's normally at least one great cutter who has decades of experience. The lines post covid have been non-existent. read more

The most amazing business I ever worked for there family help me out taught me to become the master barber owner I became

5 stars to the architect, Mark. He was highly recommended by one of solid friends. For starters, he was very respectful and professional. What made me more appreciative is that he showed great patience with my 19 year old step-son who has special needs. So much patience, and quality cut, that my step-son actually became more comfortable towards the end, was satisfied with his haircut, and asked if I could bring him back the next time he needed a cut. Bet! read more

The service was good and quick. The staff was friendly and engaging. What I like the most is that it was easy to schedule an appointment AND they were able to accommodate my schedule as I often stop by in the mornings, before I go into the office. #bestbarbersinla #lastyle read more

I haven't been to Hair Architects in years due to relocating out of the area. But just like the times before. These brothers are SOLID! Thanks again, Mark.! Jeffdavis-Wins read more

TRASH BARBER ALERT There's a dude w/ dreads, he has a chair somewhere in the middle. I think his name is Mike. I would STRONGLY urge you to not let this man touch your head. He's legitimately the WORST barber I've ever had in my life. He struggled to follow the multiple photo examples I showed him. When the cut was over & he put the mirror in front of me & asked how it was... I wasn't happy, but I had an easy solution. I politely said that wasn't what I asked for, but it was fine, he could just cut it all down to a normal fade as plan B. He seemed super offended that I told him he missed the mark, and told me to change his mistake to a fade would be a whole extra cut. Obviously unacceptable!!! What's the point of putting the mirror there & asking me my opinion if that's the type of customer service I get for answering honestly??? Even the manager wouldn't step in (citing the fact that the barbers are "independent contractors" technically) so another barber who heard the commotion came over and fixed his mistakes free of charge. (That barber obviously got my tip.) Never had such a sensitive barber who was all in his feelings because a customer told him the truth. Therefore, I would tell everyone to STAY AWAY FROM HIS CHAIR AT ALL COSTS!!!!! read more

Should have listen to the reviews and not came to this establishment. I learned the hard way but it was close and convenient. I should awaited for my normal barber because their service was horrible. Don't go there. read more

I got my cuts from Shannon (light skin dude in the back). They do appointments as well so call ahead and tell them Doug sent you. I would still get cut here if I lived in the area read more

My boyfriend went in for a simple fade to get ready for a wedding. Came out with spots, lines and anything but a fade. I told the barber it looked bad and he said it would be fine and he had no control over how it looked. Seriously?? We went back to have him fix it and he did not do much better. After him chopping up my boyfriends twice, he still did not return our money. Stay away from the first chair at this shop. read more

Been coming here for years, they always give quality cuts. I usually get serviced by Tyshawn or Shannon in the back of the shop. I can't speak for the rest of the gentleman, but I'm sure they are good too. Not to much of a wait if you come in during the week. $15 is a very fair price, Its worth a visit. Parking spots in the front and the rear of the shop. read more

Racial Discrimination alert. I went in for the first time today and was shocked over what happened. A young boy and his father came in and the boy began to stare at me. The father urged him not to saying "don't say anything about it." and said to one of the barbers "that kind of threw me off." And the barber replied "yea, it's kind of a problem." Indicating to me that it was because of my white skin. Never experienced anything like that before. As for the actual haircut, I was not impressed at all. It was Just as trash as their attitudes for a whole 35$. Note for future reference, if you're going to discriminate against your customers, you should at least put a "no whites allowed." Sign or something rather than try to cover up your ignorance in the sloppiest way possible. The real kicker is that I'm mixed with my mother being a white woman, and my father being a black man. Please don't ever step foot in this establishment. Peace and love. read more

solid barber. No frills. Mark and Shannon are the best bets for a good cut, although I prefer Mark. Don't have inflated expectations. This is not a salon. It is a barber shop. You'll find genuine operators, sports on the TV or music playing, and depending on when you're going, a lively discussion. Worth checking out, but with any other service, if you don't feel like a barber is for you, then wait on the person who you feel can deliver the results you want. read more

For haircuts it's all about making contacts. When I moved it was hard to find a new barber in my area. Barber shops can be intimidating if you don't know anybody and everyone "mad dogs" you at the door. This shop had a good vibe to me. No blasting rap music, profanity, or arguing over nonsense. The upkeep has declined in recent years but my main barber Shannon has stayed consistent. I don't have to wait and he respects your time. The barber makes the shop, this shop is cool in my opinion if you make a contact, but I must mention it is not good for walk-ins. You may have a wait on your hands because most barbers have appointments, they don't ready sit around waiting for people. It may be different on Saturday and Sunday. Overall it is a good shop. read more

I just moved to LA for job. And I got into this shop as it is very nearby my apartment The Heights. I told the old guy name Graham for Number 2 on side and Number 5 on Top and rest of hair. But, he was the totally amateur guy and he create total mess out of it. He spend around 80 mins to make ot correct and finally I have to call another man for to correct that. This place is like a hell and I strongly recommend that never ever by mistake go to this place. read more

I was fine with my barber, Rodney, up until the point he told my mother that he didn't want to cut her hair anymore. Even after she asked him why. I referred her to him, and found this to be completely unprofessional. Especially when she was trying to be a good customer. It mattered to her; some people don't care about what kind of client they are. Worst yet, he didn't take her outside for this conversation so the whole shop heard it. If you don't mind being treated like that, go for it. read more

This is my favorite spot to get a haircut. They have reliable Barbers, And super friendly. So if you're ever in LA look up here architect, they have multiple locations. VIC D. read more

Whatever you do dont see Kevin he is a horrible barber. Literally the day before im filming a major video this idiot stays on the phone and doesnt pay attention to what he is doing. I had to micro-manage this gown man on how to cut hair and what to do and still he was a hot mess. He doesnt even know how to do a part! What black barber doesnt know how to do a part? My hair is patchy has random lines and is crooked. He needs to go back to school he is horrible. read more

Don't bother. There's a reason it's #27 barber in neighborhood on Google. I'm beyond disappointed I recommended it thus the review. Expensive and bad cut. read more

Had a good haircut for $15, but I was appalled that Connie (barber) finished a client, handled money (dirtiest material Ever), then proceeded to clipper cut my hair without washing or sanitizing her hands prior to doing so! (I never took my eyes off of her & her clippers, so no chance they were sanitized either:( She did spray my scalp with an antiseptic after she finished, and I came home, washed, & sanitized my scalp immediately. No chance of me returning as ignoring hygiene & sanitation laws, could result in infections, & worse. Shop mgr is responsible for monitoring, training, & upholding standards. Epic failure! read more

I take my son to Hair Architects and Vino is great with the kids. He is so patient and calming especially for that first scary haircut. If you want your son to get a great hair cut and not fear going to the barber shop go and ask for Vino. The hair cut is great he always gets compliments about his fresh line up! If your son is extra nervous just bribe them to go to Chucke-e-Cheese after since it is right next door! read more

I have gone here for the past 2 years. Gwen used to cut my hair. I have long black curly hair, I like to keep it in long layers, but from root to tip over 3 feet long. Gwen has been gone for the last few months while they switch locations. First of all the new location looks like a garage, and second of all Gwen is gone. They gave me to a new girl, and I specifically told her all I wanted her to do was take the layers in my hair and trim an inch off of THE LAYERS THAT WERE ALREADY THERE...SHE CHOPPED OFF 7 INCHES of the TOP LAYER that frames my face.. She then proceeded to try and bring all the other layers up to my chin. When I asked her what she was doing she said she was giving me "cascading layers". I reminded her that my hair wasn't naturally straight, so she needs to be careful how much of it she's cutting ( as she had already cut way too much off to blend into the bottom layer) I look like I have 2 different haircuts right now. It looks like a mullet. The top layer of my hair is about two and a half shorter then the bottom. I look like I'm wearing really bad extensions. I didn't want to make a scene because I knew that I would probably start crying from how terrible this haircut is. So I went home washed it tried to fix it myself and came back a few days later and spoke with the owner. I was given my money back ... But it'll probably take 3 or 4 years to grow my hair back. This is the worst place EVER. Yelp won't let you write a review without stars, So I'll just tell you in the review that this place deserves - 1000 stars BTW : I asked to see the girls license when I came back... I was told that she has a license, however no one was able to show it to me,which I find interesting since every other beauty shop post them on the mirror at their chair. I seriously doubt that this girl has a license to cut hair. read more

Just got my hair cut here by a young barber who was on his phone most of the time having phone sex with his girlfriend, who didn't listen at all to what i wanted. Gave me the complete opposite of what i asked. I've come here four times and each time it's gotten worse. I literally still have clipped hair on my face and neck that he didn't wipe off. Someone should do a customer interaction training here so that the barbers learn to LISTEN to what their clients want. read more
