This man can cut hair. And beards! I've been here twice and also took my son here. We love Ose. His vibe is vibrant, the music is amazing, his studio is clean and he takes his time with each customer. So yeah. He may tell you to come back and text you when he's ready but just know he will take care of you the same way. It's worth the wait and you can enjoy his singing in the meantime! It has taken me years to find a good barber around here and finally feel like I can trust someone with my look. This someone is Ose. read more

No doubt the best barbershop in the entire San Gabriel Valley. Easy to reach and ample parking spaces. (Altadena & Washington) OSE, the chief barber, is the very best. No matter who or what you are (get it?), or the type, character or preferred hair style, OSE will satisfy your expectations. It's a comfortable shop. Great coffee cafe next door, Culture Shock read more

Walked in to get a trim and was told to come back at a certain time and then received a text to come at different time very unprofessional !

The haircut is not bad but he is by far not the only barber that can cut hair . While it's understandable and clear that a business is in business to make money you also have to know where to spend your money . A haircut takes over 2 hrs because he spends 75% of the time drinking henessy and smoking which leads to him stopping a 100 times and going to the fridge and other things . He will cancel your appointment last min in order to take someone else that may pay a little more and by a little more I mean chunk change . In other words if you have a life and a schedule and you make appointments with him He is unreliable with no respect to your time or to you as an individual. Found another barber in a heartbeat just as good or better that doesn't drink and smoke while you get your haircut. read more

Love this place and Ose! Super cool guy, plays great music and of course gives a sick fade.

I went to Ose maybe a week ago. It was pleasure to meet such a vibe barber. I loved everything about him: place, music, vibe, chill. We had a great little chitchat. Ose worked with passion, he does those little thing that other would skip. Take care of my facial, even eyebrows where is the gap in the middle, he removed those little hair. Great man, great ex read more

When I moved to SoCal, not many barbers or stylists would cut my curly hair. The ones who did were sub-par - at best. Enter Osé! In all my years here, there has never been a barber shop that could match an East Coast spot. Osé's is the hidden gem in Southern California that's like you walked into your favorite spot in Brooklyn where you feel like family. He's the guy you go to to style your hair, line you up and do it all with flair. He's kind, hospitable, intuitive, communicative, and like any true artist, will craft amazing things based on the palate he's given. Every time I go, he greets and treats me like I'm his most important client. And every time I get a cut I have a smile from ear to ear absolutely thrilled with the job he's done. I cannot say enough great things about him. My only regret was not finding out about him sooner! read more

Ose is my go to for hair cuts. He's got great personality and barber skills. You don't feel rushed or lag. Ose knows how to treat customers as friends and you leave feeling fresh, which is why people keep coming back. I recommend! read more

I've been waiting to cut my 2 year old's hair. His hair is long and I'm so attached to his long hair style, he started pre-school and it was just time. We scheduled an appt. with Ose and he was so gentle, calm, kind and just delightful. He was careful with our child, was so loving and even turned on a movie for him. Our son was so happy during the cut, no tantrums and we just all felt like we chose the right barber for this very special cut. He is so skilled and he is so warm. The vibe in his shop is just amazing. He's worth every penny and more. read more

I'd been going here for a while before covid, and as salons began to open I was excited to return back.

My son just had a haircut . Ose is patient , nice and he did a great job . I will definitely bring my son again

Ose is one of THE best barbers around. Fades, Line-Ups, Styled... you name it, Ose can do it. Been going to Ose for a few years now and even though I've moved to LA, I still make the trek to Altadena to get my haircut from him. He remembers my cut and does an amazing job time and time again. You guys know it's tough to find a barber you can trust to make your hair look right so once you find one, you gotta keep them. No request was made to add a review. I'm that happy about Ose's work so was moved to write a review. He is meticulous, takes his time and has an awesome personality to go with haircutting skills. Price is great, too. Can't say enough!!! read more

I've been going to Ose for 3 years. I've never had anyone else to cut my hair since I've started to come to his shop. I even drive from San Diego to Altadena to get my hair cut by Ose. My friends brought me and they have been going for years and now I bring my friends to his shop and now all my friends only go to his shop. Welcoming environment. Nice employees and are always offering water and drinks. Nice music, parking and shops in the area. read more

Like others, I also drove by Ose's shop many times before it finally occurred to me that I should give him a try. An excellent decision! It has been many years since a barber cut my hair with the particularity and care that he does. He is focused on making his client's hair look its best and it shows. read more

Best barbershop in the pasadena area hands down! Very clean work, and consistent results.

Just a quality neighborhood barber. No frills, no gimmicks. Ose is friendly and thorough. The prices are very affordable. I don't need much else from a barbershop. I'm glad to break away from the chain stores and support a local shop. read more
