Good haircut very respectful but $45 for a fade is not ok. I understand $35 at most but $45 is not ok. We're not in 2035 yet.

Well, we've been here a few times and the ladies do a pretty decent job, nothing out of the ordinary. The prices "were" reasonable about $25 for haircuts. Then they started charging $30, then $35! In my opinion, it's a lot for a kids haircut honestly. You end up paying almost $50 per child once you add the tip. Also, the parking sucks, very hard to find parking. If you end up parking in the back, you go to an alley that's shared with another business so you basically have to come back out in reverse to Paramount Boulevard, not very safe. Will we return? Maybe as a last-minute resort. read more

It's Valentines Day and as you know barber shops are either fully booked or unavailable. I decided to call 7 different barber shops and out of all 7, only one answered right away and was very friendly. That was Kings Barber Shop! It's extremely hard to find someone in such short notice who can not only cut your hair, but to trust that they'll give you a great haircut... Upon arrival, the place looks very nice with luxurious chairs. There was a barber there who right away acknowledged me and said she'll be with me shortly. It was 6pm and it didn't seem so busy (which is super convenient for people who have a 9am-5pm job)! Sarah attended me and was very sweet from the beginning, she asked what I wanted and gave me several suggestions for the look. It's RARE when a good barber asks you if you want a double zero or a bald shave! She did absolutely that and more! She kept a conversation going through out the whole hair -cutting process which I appreciate and even gave some legit great life advice. If you like a haircut to be 30-35minutes, a good environment with amazing service. Then this place is definitely for you! 5 STARS! read more

Kings Barber Shop - Barbers Near Me - Downey, California

See all

They continue to raise their prices seemingly month after month without adding anything of value to the customer. Price is now $40!!! This is crazy and is borderline out of line for what you get. I feel they need to reevaluate their business model as I feel they will see diminished returns very soon. Starting to look for another spot. I understand everything is going up, but really? read more

$40 for a 10 minute average haircut. Save your money and find a better spot. Way too much for a basic hair cut. Nice people just charging way to much. read more

I've had a cut from a few of the barbers, they all have done really well! Mostly I've been getting cut by Sara and Blanca. Both do an amazing job! read more

I went to this place after reading a review. My barber had a two and a half hour wait. I was forced to go here. First, parking is located in the rear and they only have about ten spaces. I walked in and wasn't pleased aesthetically. The walls are painted a mint green color. Magazine selection was great. Waiting chairs were comfortable. They have a soda vending machine inside. There's a liquor store about a block south of this location. Three women cut here. The barber chairs are visibly worn. The one I sat on had a large tear in the middle. I wanted a medium shave fade. She went a little to high with the fade. She did use a straight razor. That was good. The price was $15. The price wasn't an issue. I expected more value for my experience. They fell short. read more

Really good service highly recommend it the barber Deisy did an amazing job! Thanks Deisy!!

So I brought my brother here, the lady that attended my brother left him unattended for 30 mins because went on "lunch break" than she did a "fast job" and left cuts on my brother read more

Kings Barber Shop - Barbers Near Me - Downey, California

This place SUCKS BIG TIME!! Can't believe they are still in business. I walked in early in the morning, 2 barbers where there. Only one was busy and almost done. The other guy (Gabriel), said he had an appointment that was on his way in, and the other guy said the same. They both made me wait nearly half hour, and no one showed up, until I was about to leave. They said to call and make an appointment and that the fee was $25!! With appointment and $20 for walk ins. They must think I'm an idiot like the rest to pay that much for a mediocre hair cut. Definitely DO NOT RECOMMEND! I agree with all the 1 star reviews posted on here read more

One star ratings are tough calls to make... gotta do it for the rest of the peeps. Bad cut, rude restless barber.

Joseph gets down with the blends! Holla at my boy. Super convenient & never packed. Thanks

This has been my go to for the last 16 years. Sarah and Elsa get my haircut and keep my beard in check in a reasonable amount of time considering, it is a barbershop, meaning you will wait no matter where you go(good shops anyway). These ladies know what they're doing and so long as they're cutting hair, I'll be back for another 16 years. read more

Been Coming here years. Sarah always hooks me and my son up. All the barbers here can Cut Hair here. The Cuts are so Crisp When my Son comes home with a fresh Taper from Sarah. I don't even have to ask where he went I know. Which is the exact same reason I'm here again and again. read more

Kings Barber Shop - Barbers Near Me - Downey, California

Came in on a Wednesday morning Waited for over an hour and the barbers just kept calling up their friends/homies and ignored all other customers Horribly ran business I will never ever come back to this shop Maybe when you learn to prioritize business over friendship you'll be able to have a better customer base read more

This little hidden treasure is tucked away in a 60's style strip plaza off of Paramount Blvd. (next to Toyko Garden: refer to yelp review). Unbeknownst to the general public, this barber shop handles a nice handful of clients (wait can be up to 45 minutes). They give good haircuts, and the price is alRight. 12 bucks you can get a clean fade with all the trimming (shaving cream, line up, etc.) They keep to the old school way and line you up with a razor blade. Three women cut it up over here. Even came when one was eating flaming hot cheetos in between cuts (visual: red fingers and clippers). If you're into Telemundo TV, they have you covered 24/7 in surround sound! ((((Barbershop Secret )))): For waiting clients, check for all the latest XXX porn mags on top of the soda machine. Hustler, Penthouse...they got it all! read more

Friendly people, and a great haircut! Sarah is awesome and gave me a great haircut! I will def be back. yeah, the haircut is $40, but after paying $30 at other spots and getting "okay" haircuts I'll pay the $40 any day! read more

No prices posted inside. Showed a picture of exactly what I wanted and ended up with something else. Person cutting my hair kept checking their phone and texting whenever possible. Imagine my surprise at the end when I was told $30 for Hair $20 for beard. Not worth it. read more

Been coming to Kings for almost ten years. All the barbers there are great. Lupita is my barber and she has done an amazing job. Quality haircuts at a quality price. Great atmosphere as well, and everyone says hi and bye when you walk in and out. read more

Awesome place Sara is my barber and she alway does a great job. Would recommend this place to my friends.

Great hair cut! They do a great job! 17$ and they're quick. In and out in 30 minutes! I let them know what size I wanted my hair to be cut and they advised me towards a better option. I now know what I want my hair to look like for life. I think I'm ready to start selling cars again The only think that was kind of funny is that they play some intense shows while you're getting your haircut lol Okay very intense stuff lol read more

King's Barber Shop has great barbers they're friendly and know how to cut hair. There's a great environment, and tv's to watch while having a haircut. I've been going to Kings Barber Shop for years and years to come. read more

First and last time I'll be taking my kids here. Horrible haircut for $17 done by the young blonde girl.

Used to come here stop coming the staff is mostly if not all girls and they are not that welcoming and they do descent regular cuts nothing special and a lot I used to go there cause they had a lady barber that was good and real friendly but since she moved I went back once and was disappointed not worth what they charge I rather keep going to nelsons read more

This is a great barber shop. All the girls are very friendly and man they know how to cut hair. Very friendly and great atmosphere. The wait wasn't long and was very impressed with my haircut. Will definitely be going back for my next cut. Highly recommend. Ask for Sara or Daisy. read more

So I just went into this shop, and since I am a girl I looked a little out of place at a barber shop. But Joseph helped me, and faded the back of my hair perfectly, a million times better than the first time I got it done. Now my undercut is perfect! read more

I'm glad they sent me away to another barber shop where they are actually professionals.

Everyone does a great job, specially lupe, my barber. Great customer service.you won't regret coming here

This is the most unprofessional and rude barber shop I've ever been to. Walked in and no one was seated, they knew I walked in. Sat and waited for the next available spot but instead of being called, they just take whoever walked in. At first I thought maybe they had an appointment but nope, they just kept taking the walk ins. I even made EYE CONTACT with the barbers and they would just look away, choosing to ignore me. But hey, if you're looking to kill time, definitely come in here and just sit. read more

I have been coming here for years! 18 and counting and all the girls are great the vibes and the cuts are on point! It's is crowded from time to time but generally don't wait to long. Best place for a cut in Downey hands down! read more

Ok so here's the real low down on what this place is all about. They do a great job at cutting hair, at least in my experience. The shop is very spacious and it's never that crowded like the other little tiny barber shops you see on practically every street here in Los Angeles. Yes they charge $15 for a cut but I got it like that so I don't mind. What I do mind is the fact that they talk on the phone and sometimes even answer their cell phones while cutting a customer's hair. That is so unprofessional and really just bad business. On more then one occasion the worker will stop cutting your hair and talk to you just so they can use their hands to make gestures. In their eyes they are just being polite but in my eyes they are just wasteing my time. Cut the hair and talk while you are cutting it and if you cannot talk and cut then don't talk at all. I don't think these people realize how busy some of us are and we just want to get in and get out. I gave them three stars because they each have done a great job at cutting my hair. Some of them could be a little heavy on the hands but at least it looks good when they are done. All in all this place is not so bad. read more

Love this place, great service and great females cutting your hair. Very respectful and courteous. Reading material as you wait and they also have TV although I carry my iPhone everywhere to listen to my jams as I wait and read. Usually go on Wed mornings, not that busy :) read more

They are still there, they just move 2 stores south of their original place of business & Lupe is still #1.

I've been coming here for years and the service is always great. The wait is never too long since they usually have 6-8 stations attending customers. I've had my hair cut by every person here and they have yet to disappoint. The vibe here is fun so even if you have to wait a bit you can enjoy the music or watch what's on the TVs. They have specials on Wednesdays- $14 students and seniors. read more

I've been coming here for years. I live a good 35 minutes away (taking the freeway!) and it's totally worth it. These ladies know what they're doing and get nicer and nicer everytime I come back. They're precise and cheap. Love it. read more
