If you're looking for a solid, dapper haircut in the Pasadena area, please check out Our Thing Barbershop. Full disclosure, Gaspar has been cutting my hair for the better part of the last year. When I heard he was starting his own shop, I had to come check it out! The shop is located within Salon Republic at the Paseo Colorado. You can park in the structure and get your parking validated for up to 90 minutes for free. Gaspar has put in a lot of work into giving the shop a mafia/mob style aesthetic. The brick wall, bullet holes, pictures of the mob and vintage style barber chair is such an awesome touch! He's really doing his best to bring back the feel of an old-school barbershop. As far as the haircut goes, don't go in expecting a quick cut. You can really see Gaspar's attention to detail when I ask for a comb-over fade. He's personable and easy to chat with, so I don't feel like I'm just there for a haircut. One of my favorite things about getting a cut here is the hair-wash. Not only is it super relaxing, but it means I don't have to go and cleanup the little hairs. Gaspar also does beard and mustache trims, as well as a straight razor shave. 10/10 would recommend Gaspar to anyone looking for an affordable, quality cut. read more

Great barbershop! Gaspar knows what he is doing and gave me one of my favorite haircuts in recent memory. If you like mob movies, there are also a ton of things to look at. Loved the Tony Soprano doll, the movie posters, and the wallpaper. Would definitely recommend this place for a great cut if you're in Pasadena. Thank you, Gaspar! read more

Hidden GEM in Old Town Pasadena. Taking it back to the roots of what a haircut is supposed to be: - Quality Service: Gaspar is adamant about taking his time and ensuring he does his best for each client. We've discussed the current rush mentality, where appointments are booked 15 minutes apart to try and get as many customers in as possible. This is NOT one of those places. Gaspar goes as far as implementing his own rules - i.e. Doesn't even look at his phone while giving a cut, because he wants to give clients his undivided attention. Expect your Barber to listen to what you want and provide the best service they can offer you - NO DISTRACTIONS. - Pricing: let's be real, any hair service in this area will cost you around $75-$100 - imagine paying around $40 for the same service (if not more) - No BS and extremely genuine: Gaspar isn't trying to reinvent the wheel. He's successfully bringing back a service that was once lost. As mentioned before - Quality over Quantity - and the conversations with this guy are amazing. read more

Nestled inside the Salon Republic compound of salons, above the H&M in The Paseo on Colorado Blvd., this island of masculinity in a sea of estrogen offers up excellent hair cutting by a genial, dapper barber with an old school approach to his craft (he's not watching the clock and giving you haircut #4 from a choice of 5). read more

I was looking online for a spot to bring my boyfriend to get a haircut and also trim his beard. I found this place and immediately got in contact with Gaspar. Didn't take long at all to get a response and Gaspar answered all my questions. He set me up with an appointment and it couldn't have been easier. As soon as we stepped into the shop, me and my boyfriend were so amazed with how amazing Gaspar had the place set up. Sat my boyfriend down, asked him how he liked his hair and got to work. He was super friendly and funny, which made time pass by fast while I waited. I was just excited to see what the end result would be. He took his time and had so much patience tackling my boyfriends hair which he hadn't cut on weeks! Both he and I are super happy with how it turned out and how much care he put into it. We both are satisfied with it and for sure I will be bringing him back to get another cut. Just Amazing. read more

Great hours and hair cut. The location is inside Colorado One Paseo, 2nd floor across from El Cholo. The ambiance is fun and old school. Time flies with the conversation. read more

Gaspar really brings that old school barber feel and is such a genuine person. Fades are on point and this man had me grinning from ear to ear with how happy I was with the cut/fade he provided. Location was a little tricky at first. But the barber shop is located on the second floor of The Paseo inside Salon Republic. Just look for room 406. read more

Just had my first haircut with Gaspar and can without a doubt say it was one of the best barber experiences I've ever had. Recently moved to the area and have tried all the other local spots but can now safely say I've found my go to barber shop. His attention to detail and passion for his work is unmatched and it shows in his work. He's also an extremely friendly person and easy to talk to. Shop is also super clean and private since it's inside the salon Republic. Overall just a great experience and highly recommend checking his place out. read more

Am I really the first review? That's hard to believe because this place did me up nice and proper. I came in for a beard trim and luckily he could squeeze me in. I went in looking homeless but came out looking like I could sell you your own house. It was nice too, he took his time and really made sure that I left looking crispy. Even hooked it up with some beard oil at the end. Definitely gonna be back to Our Thing because they're putting the craftsmanship back into barbering. read more
