This is a good neighborhood barber shop, family owned and operated by a nice Korean husband and wife. They are both warm and welcoming. Work: the husband Jae cut my hair, and I think he did a decent job. I was happy with my hair cut. He humbly told me that his wife is much more experienced. The key difference between this old fashion barber shop and the newer app based franchises to me is you get to see familiar faces over time. After all, hair cut is a personal service. NOTE: Their men's hair cut has been $20 and will be raised to $25 starting February 2026. read more

I took myself and my son here to get a haircut because it was close, had good reviews, and was fairly priced. Unfortunately, the lady cutting hair was unable to handle my 6-year-old son's wavy hair at all. She butchered his haircut, and for some strange reason cut the very front of his hair about an inch shorter than the rest of his hair. She was visibly frustrated during his haircut, and was shaking her head as she struggled. It was the worst haircut he's ever received, including haircuts that I've given him. Totally not what I asked for and extremely disappointing. There are similarly-priced places nearby that will do a much better job. read more

Boss man knows and executed exactly what style I was looking for. Will definitely recommend this place

Came around 10 AM for a walk in. Asked for a standard men's haircut for a wedding and Jae did a great job. Amy and Jae were great and the hospitality was amazing. This is the type of mom and pop barber shop I enjoy going to and plan visit as my regular spot. read more

I have been getting hair cuts from Hair Craze since we moved to Cerritos in 2016. Ted and Esther were warm and welcoming and always delivered. Their atmosphere was so relaxing, I would fall asleep while they cut my hair. Once Amy and Jae took over, they've continued that legacy and pushed it further. Amy is a true master-- she understands the nuances that comes with cutting thick Asian hair and she would provide the same great result. I've shopped around for barbers with ridiculous pricing and stupid scheduling systems only for them to screw up my hair. Hair Craze is straight to the point, no nonsense, old school. family vibe. I will truly miss this place. read more

Usual barber was unavailable and pleased that Hair Craze was able to take my daughter and I this morning. Men's haircut- $15 Daughter's trim- $25 Stylist was meticulous and took her time. Located across the street from The Loft, lunch decision was made easy. Another family run business in Artesia-Cerritos deserving of your patronage. read more

Moved to the area a few months ago and looking for a long term barbershop - I think I've found it! A small mom-and-pop type shop with very detail-oriented employees who are friendly and happy to help you with whatever type haircut you are looking for. Plenty of COVID precautions and I wore a mask during the cut (they remove it from your ears for the lower parts of the fade). Affordable, efficient (no line when I was there), and an overall really nice haircut! I'll definitely be going back - highly recommended all around. read more

Asian Barbershop. Female stylist. Fast and cheap! Only charge $20 for regular male haircut. read more

I liked my haircut from this spot. The owner cut my hair just the way I wanted with it being overgrown (1 1/2 months since my last haircut). Didn't exchange too many words, but she is friendly read more

Great customer service and excellent hair cuts. I recommend this place to friends and family

Cute little barber spot, nice people, and affordable. Pros: -affordable -nice staff Cons: - a bit dirty - difficulty in communication read more

The barbers are very good. Unfortunately, service hours and "first in line" is not a factor when thinking about customer service. Arrived at 9:00 AM for a 9:30 AM opening, door opened at 9:15 AM but Hair Craze rep was busy cleaning facility. Someone walks up and in and gets service. I walk in and question service time and am told they open at 9:30 while he's cutting the guys hair who snaked the line. Been coming here for years but now need to rethink future patronage. New ownership??? Not a good situation. The female barber deserves 4.5 stars / customer service 0 stars... proof that every company representative, from the top to the bottom, corporate executives to barber shop owners, can impact a / their business negatively. read more

Sorry to report Ted has retired from Hair cutting at Hair Craze. Hope he has a wonderful retirement with his children and grandchildren. Time to find a new hangout. read more

Been here twice trying to give it a chance but neither were the best haircuts. She's fast but didn't give me what I wanted at all.

Four years later, still an awesome place. Fast, efficient, affordable. Nowadays I give $30, because I wait a long time between haircuts, and things are rough as it is for small businesses. Still worth every penny. read more

I found Hair Craze by accident while driving down Del Amo boulevard. I had recently moved into the area and was looking for a barber shop. I tried a couple of others in the area but they all seemed a little to trendy. All I wanted was a haircut. I've been a regular customer ever since. I recommend them to any guy just looking to get a nice cut. read more

Saturdays: closes at 4 PM Wednesdays and Sundays: CLOSED A cute Korean couple owns Hair Craze and do all the cutting themselves. They'll talk to you and make conversation. They even remembered me from a visit 6 months prior! I wasn't even the one getting the haircut Lol. My boyfriend literally told the lady that he needed his sides shorter and to keep his top long. With no other direction, she delivered a fantastic haircut. Literally WOW. We don't know how she knew, but she knew. Total cost was $15, which is pricier than we expected, but nothing to really complain about. Great cut, too. When my boyfriend's hair was a lot longer, that haircut was $25. From now on, Hair Craze will be one of our go-to spots. read more

Just got a haircut. Have been coming to the previous owner for over 30 years. He recently retired, but the new owner is very competent and friendly. She cuts hair as instructed, but I usually tell her to cut my hair so that it looks "clean" and "professional" and she does that very well. My son likes her because she also washes his hair afterwards and he does not need to go home and take a shower. read more

I took my brother here to get a haircut, because he was in desperate need of one, and we waited around 10 minutes, then Ted was ready for my brother. Ted was very friendly, and cut off a lot of my brother's hair, gave him a good trim, and styled his hair as well. Would recommend to any guy who lives in the Cerritos/Artesia area looking for a good barber. read more

My son lives coming here! This time was great! Unfortunately, he nicked his ear LAst visit, but my son wanted to come back. Yes did an excellent job. read more

Yes, it is true-Ted and Esther are retired...mostly. But, I believe their Hair Craze legacy is in great hands. Amy, the new owner, has been cutting my hair the last few times I've visited and I find her cuts to be on par with Ted and Esther or maybe even a little better. I was delightfully surprised to see Ted today-he has come back to help on Friday's and Saturday's because of how busy it gets. Great value, great cut and really great people-I hope to never have to look for another barber again! read more

They give a great haircut. Very professional. For the price of $15 (don't forget to tip!) you come out clean and feeling good. read more

I got a haircut here on 8/31/2019 and Ted cut my hair! He's an awesome barber. I didn't ask for his schedule but he's back. read more

I've been coming here for years and have never had a bad experience. I was sad when Ted and Esther left but the new lady is honestly just as good and kind. Even with everything currently going on they're still powering through and I will keep supporting them with my business! read more

I took my son here for the first time, sign out front says barber, but it is the hair craze, my son liked his hair, he said they were nice and we will be coming back, my brother-is going to try them out, because they did such a great job! read more

Well.... more than 30 years ted told me they been there in the same place ! Yesterday was my first time in this place and was awesome ted is very nice very good haircut and I told him my name just one time and in the end he told me bye armando like that he knows me for a long time that's is good stuff man I gonna come back again very recomendable for everybody thanks ted !!!! read more

After moving, I needed to find a new barber. My guy Ted is an older Korean guy but he is really cool and knows how to give you a fresh cut. They take card and cash, but I'm sure they prefer cash so try to use cash if you can. read more

Always a great haircut experience when I come here. I have been cutting my hair and friends & family hair for the past 20+ years, so I can be picky and particular on a haircut from someone else. The price is reasonable at $15 for a standard fade and trim, and both Ted and Esther cut my hair perfectly everytime. They do not rush through and are very thorough, all the way down to the vacuum clean up at the end. read more

I spotted this barber shop as I was driving by one day and made a mental note to look them up here on Yelp and give them a try if they had lots of 4- or 5-star reviews. It turns out all the reviews for Hair Craze are 5 stars, so I knew I had to give them a try next time I needed a haircut. I went on a Saturday afternoon and there were 2 other customers ahead of me. The shop has a very calm, pleasant atmosphere with soothing music playing in the background. I waited about 20 minutes for my turn. It appears that Ted and Esther are the only employees of this shop. Since I was new, Ted made it a point to introduce himself, which I appreciated. What's really funny was he asked if he had cut my hair before because I looked familiar to him. I told him that I look like a lot of people! :-D He asked me my name, where I lived and how I heard about their shop. Before he got started, he promised me that I'll be very happy with my haircut, then he got to work after I told him what I wanted. Afterward, he gave me the hand-held mirror and showed me what he did, and he was right---I was very happy with the work he did. :-) As someone else already mentioned, the price of the haircut was only $15, so very reasonable in price. I wouldn't mind coming back here again. Another reviewer said that Ted gives scalp massages (I understand this is a common practice in Korean-run barber shops), so I wouldn't mind giving one of those a try next time. read more

Hands down the worst haircut I have ever had! My hair is pretty darn simple. A zero fade straight up on the sides and back and a 7-8 on top. I even showed the lady multiple pics on my phone of a good haircut I had received before. This lady gave me the most crooked ass haircut it was seriously unbelievable. I had her fix It twice before I gave up. She didn't even bother washing my hair after and left hair everywhere. I'm pissed I even had to pay her. Do yourselves a favor and STAY AWAY! read more

Friendly professional service. Got the haircut I wanted. Will deffinately coming back agin and again. Thank you!!

I went to get my first cut by Amy, and she was so polite and happy to cut my hair. She really made my hair so much better than another place I went. I would definitely check this place out because their price isn't high at all! Thank you, Amy! read more

It pains me to write this update. Let me start by saying the "new" barbers are the nicest people and Ted the owner is an amazing barber and person. See my original review as I was very happy to find this place. Unfortunately it seems as though Ted is gone. I am not sure if he retired or is ill, as they will not answer to where Ted is. Not only have I asked the last two times there, but several people have come in and asked where Ted is and the give generic answers such as he is not there and they don't know when he will be back. On to the haircuts. Two times ago my two boys and I got sub par haircuts without Ted being there to watch over his employees and ensure they were doing a good job. It seemed as though he was training a few new girls (which is why I think he may have retired). 2 of the 3 haircuts were manageable, but one was a hack job and much shorter than my son asked for. He asked for less than an inch and the barber took more than 2 inches of the top. We decided to give them another try and see if Ted was back. Unfortunately we got the same generic answer and we still don't know where Ted is. My haircut was decent, maybe a 6 to of 10, but nothing worth Yelping about. My youngest son asked for a number 1 around the ears and back and then blended. He was shaved all the way to his part line. OK, maybe she just misunderstood and will do a better job with my older son. He asked to just be cleaned up with a very small trim. He got the same haircut, shaved all the way to the part line. The rest of the haircut was uneven and not blended. Needless to say we will not be back unless we find out that Ted is back. I don't believe they have been trained and it was like having someones mother with no experience try to cut their hair. 1 out of 10 for both of their haircuts. So sad and have no idea where we will go now. read more

Yesterday was my first time coming here and Ted was very welcoming as soon as I walked in and super friendly. He cut my hair exactly how I asked (zero on the sides, high fade, feaux hawk) and even gave my goatee a quick little line-up. He was calling customers by their names when they walked in. Very friendly people. I have found my new haircut place! :) read more

Moved out Cerritos and had a string of horrible experiences with barbers. First one left my hair lopsided and uneven. Second gave me a faux hawk. Third made my colic stand up straight two inches above the rest of the hair. Each time I came back home my wife would look and start laughing. I went back to my old barber in the South Bay to try to get it fixed. Turns out she passed away suddenly two days before I walked in. So after all that I browsed through Yelp to find a new barber. Walked by one that was blaring hip-hop music out the front door. Not for me. Then I found Esther and Ted. It was like my old barber was reincarnated into an older Korean couple. First hair cut was with Esther and it turned out great. Second was with Ted and it was great too. I just told them how I usually would get it cut and they went to work intuitively. When I walked back in to my house these last two times my wife said "better". Enough said. read more

Ted makes good conversation and gets you a great haircut. Minimal lines early Saturday mornings for the price and service. I've definitely found a great neighborhood barbershop that I will be coming back to. read more

Great hair cut! Owner was friendly and professional, and even though I came after hours he still did an awesome job. Nice, clean, and simple cut. Very reasonably priced. I will definitely be back! read more

It was a random walk in when i decided i wanted my 2 year old son to get a fade...my husband was skeptical about it and said he wanted it done with his barber in Norwalk but the last time he got a fade there my son was practically buddah baby bald! So i gave it a shot and lets just say... I gave my husband the, "i told you" smile. my son got a lil fade and clean up for a wedding and he looks super cute! Thank you Ted! Also the only reason why i stayed was cuz i listened to all the 5 star reviews from here on yelp... Thanks guys! read more

Hair Craze - Barbers Near Me - Cerritos, California

As I write this in the car right after I got my haircut, I just have to say this place is really good. I just moved down here and back home I've been going to the same place to get my haircut. I had my hesitations trying to find a new place as I have had more bad experiences than good with hair salons/barbershops. They cut my hair very quickly and I very much like it. I paid $18 for my haircut but I don't mind it given the speed and the fact that they cut it to my liking. Will be a regular from now on. read more
