First time at Purpose LA in Burbank and I'll definitely be back. The shop has a really dope vibe, super clean, and you can tell they take pride in the space. Alex took care of me and absolutely delivered. I'm pretty picky when it comes to my hair, but he nailed the cut exactly how I wanted it. Clean, sharp, no rushing, just solid work all around. If you're looking for a reliable barbershop where they know what they are doing, this is the spot! Highly recommend! read more

Had my first visit at Purpose LA and it was a great experience. Ricky was attentive, never rushed, and clearly cared about getting it right. The shop has an easy, relaxed vibe with good music, and everyone is welcoming--they greet you when you walk in and send you off the same way, which feels different from a lot of places. I also met Jorge and Kat -- the husband-and-wife owners--which added a nice personal touch. Perfect location and overall just a solid spot. Definitely gained a new regular--glad to have this in Burbank. read more

My new home to get my haircut The same person has been cutting my hair for almost ten years but then left the state. Disaster! Before he left I had him write everything down and even take pics right after the cut was done. I tried a few places but nope they couldn't pull it off Thankfully I found Purpose LA; based on the reviews I gave it a try. My appt was with Alex and I showed him the pics , the instructions, and he crushed it. He even fixed the errors from the last barber I tried. Sold. Crushed it, he did a great job. My new home. Getting a haircut isn't just a haircut, a place to relax and get away and chill, while I get my haircut. Mission accomplished I'll be back in 3 weeks. read more

I always like to give a business its due, and Purpose LA has always been on point. Trent is one of the best barbers I have had the pleasure of having cut my hair and beard. The vibe is always welcoming and it keeps me coming back. If you want a great cut, cool vibes and a great experience, look no further. Love this spot! read more

Amazing haircut from boss lady Kat! Great personality and really takes the time to make sure you look good in every angle. The vibe is welcoming and lively! Try it out read more

Took a chance needed a cut. Alex was great one to find! Now on he's my man. Precise, understood what i wanted and mind you I have lot of hair , curly n huge growth! So happy found Alex! read more

I love Purpose LA. It's right in my hometown, in a great area of downtown Burbank, which makes it a perfect location for a day outing in town. Hit the mall, grab some boba, do a little window shopping or grab lunch and a beer, and why not get a haircut too? Since moving to the area I've tried six or eight barbers, looking for a place to call home. There've been good and...meh...but when I meet Benson at Purpose LA I knew I'd found my barber. He's smart, easy to talk to, and knows exactly what I'm going for without getting too bogged down in technicalities. He is skilled and considerate, and has a great memory for our previous conversations. Feels like sitting with a friend. I'm sure the other barbers there are equally skilled and personable. But there's only one way for you to find out! read more

Purpose LA - My fade underneath my messy curls - Men's Hair Salons Near Me - Burbank, California

I took my son here for a haircut with Nat, and we had the best experience. He had a bad experience at past barbershops and didn't like the cut so he was very nervous. But we left so happy, and it was exactly what he was looking for. The shop is absolutely gorgeous and they had a coffee pop-up that day, which was really wonderful. Nat did such a great job, and we will absolutely be coming back. read more

This place is such good vibes, I brought my son in for a cut yesterday with Ricky. My son mentioned how this is the first barber I've taken to that made him feel totally comfortable. All of the staff is very friendly they had great matcha. Would definitely recommend this shop to anyone 10/10 experience. Also love the phillipians verse on the wall, thank you Purpose LA god bless you all! read more

Great barbershop in the heart of Downtown Burbank! Everything about this place is special, from the ambiance, staff, and energy. They take pride in the details here, and it shows. I always get the gentleman's clipper service, and it never disappoints. I leave feeling refreshed and ready to conquer my tasks. George is talented, and I'm thankful to have him as my daily barber. You can't go wrong; he's been in the industry for over a decade. Trust me when I say this, you are in good hands here at Purpose. read more

Purpose LA is hands down one of the best barbershops I've been to. From the moment you walk in, you can tell these barbers take real pride in their craft. The attention to detail is next level -- every line is clean, every fade is blended perfectly, and they don't rush the process at all. My barber took the time to really listen to what I wanted and made sure everything was dialed in before I left the chair. You can tell they care about consistency and quality, not just getting people in and out. The shop itself has a great vibe too -- professional, chill, and welcoming. If you're looking for a place that treats your haircut like an art form and not just another appointment, Purpose LA is it. I always leave feeling fresh and confident. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a precise cut and top-tier service. Jorge is the man read more

Nat at Purpose LA in Burbank is incredible. Super easy to talk to and immediately understood exactly what I was going for. This was my first time trying a medium-length, flowy center-part style, and they nailed it. They also took my unruly chin strap and turned it into a clean, well-blended beard fade that sets me up perfectly to grow it out. Great attention to detail, great energy, and just an all-around solid experience. Walked out feeling way more put together. Definitely my new go-to. Thanks Nat! read more

Once again, Nat killed it. The cut is absolute perfection. Or as my daughter said, " lowkey fire. " Thanks Nat!

Haircut and service is on point! Nat is always precise and pays attention to the smallest details - you can tell she genuinely cares about her craft and her clients. The vibe in her chair is always comfortable - easy conversation, good energy, and no rush. You can tell she takes pride in creating a great experience every time. Highly recommend Purpose LA read more

Great vibe in this shop, they do a variety of hair style and haircuts. Trent hooked me up real good for my birthday

This was the first place I went to for my haircut when I first moved to LA and Jorge has been the only one doing it ever since. His experience is top notch and great person to know and conversate with! read more

I recently moved over an hour away, and I still make the drive back to get my haircut by Jorge -- that alone should tell you how great he is. Every visit is consistent, attentive, and professional. Jorge takes the time to listen to what you want, offers helpful suggestions, and makes sure you leave looking your best. His attention to detail is unmatched, and the atmosphere he creates is always welcoming. It's rare to find someone you trust with your hair, and once I found Jorge, I wasn't willing to settle for anything less. Absolutely worth the drive every single time. Highly recommended! read more

New customer here and will be returning! I called Purpose LA after my work to see if they had any available appointments and they did. The person on the phone asked me what time I could come and told him I was coming from Arcadia area and my ETA would be 5:17pm; so I made it for 5:30pm (just in case of traffic). Anyways, I made it on time and got parking on the street, paid $2 for 1 hour (2 hour max btw). Tip: Make sure to download ParkMobile app or have the ParkMobile.io website up so you can pay for parking right away. I walked inside and was greeted immediately and was asked if I had an appointment. I said I did, with Alex. Alex came in shortly after I did. He let me use the restroom before we started. & Oh wow, my experience from beginning to end was great! Alex was quiet (but so was I) and what I liked about Alex, he was nice, respectful, friendly, quick and efficient. His attention to detail was top notch. Usually, when I go to a barber, they rush to get through to the next client. But nope, not here. Alex took his time, to perfect my little head. Also, they wash your hair and blow dry it! I was not used to that and really appreciated that. It was really nice. Like I said, I'm used to barbers just rushing through the process to get to the next client. Overall, I would 10/10 recommend this place to anyone! Their vibe is just totally different and it's like a breath of fresh air. Also, if you're a first time customer, they give $5 discount! Thank you again, Alex and Purpose LA for taking me in and giving me a great experience and haircut! read more

I'll start with this: I have 3 boys and their hair grows really fast. Since I found this barbershop I haven't looked anywhere else. We have had haircuts with Trent and Jorge mostly. Everyone is very patient with me because I am a picky mother and my kids hair are crazy)) so naturally we keep coming back. Hair looks perfect. Also, I never have to wait , they are very well organised and on time with their appointments. I appreciate that a lot. I have referred my son's friends here , they are also very happy with results. Thank you Purpose LA. Today my son had a haircut with Jorge, it's perfect. read more

Nat 3rd time doing the beard looking for the right blend. Came out perfect. Last time she asked to cut my hair and i figured why not... Well now my hair looks great along with my huge (used to be bright white) beard. Thanks Nat I'll only go there and only see you. read more

Needed a haircut and saw this shop on Yelp so I decided to check it out. They luckily take walk-ins so come thru even without an appointment. The barber shop has plenty of seats and plenty of barbers. Outside, there is also plenty of parking. For my first time here, I was helped by Nat. She was sweet and took care of me very well! The place itself is very modern and sleek, with comfy black seats, giant mirrors, and bright lights. Nat was very kind, she hyped me up when showing her the kind of cut I wanted. She also put some tea tree oil and water on my scalp during the cut since I had been out all morning for work under the 90 degree sun. After my cut and wash, I felt like a new man! First time clients get $5 off so my cut came out to $50 instead of $55, without tip ofcourse. Also not sure whose idea it was to have a big cute dog in the barber shop, but it was a great idea! Will always look forward to seeing that big dog with demure energy every time I come here. Thank you to Nat and PurposeLA for taking care of me today read more

Wilson was awesome! It's rare when you find a hair stylist who just gets it and understands what hair style you are trying to get even when you can't really explain it well yourself. Good vibe, good price, great cut! read more

Huge shout out to Nat for a great haircut for a 'mature age' adult man. You did a excellent job, taking your time to make sure it was done with detail. Well done! read more

This was the first time I've ever received a proper haircut and I couldn't be more satisfied with the result! Kathy is so knowledgeable and skilled with scissors and that helped put me at ease during my appointment. And her expertise and keen eye for all-things hair left me walking out of Purpose LA with confidence and a bottle of hair product she recommended. Thank you, Kathy! read more

Five stars! I've been going to Alex Vasilyev for over a year now and every cut is consistently perfect. He's a master of his craft. The attention to detail, precision, and overall quality of the cut are second to none and he is a great guy. The shop is clean and stylish, the staff is friendly. Highly recommend! read more

Did a last minute walk in and was assigned to Alex. Very great attention to detail and very happy with the result. Love the vibe and service. read more

Nat is a curly hair magician. fixed the weird wild curly mullet thing I had going on. I'll be back!

I originally found Purpose LA Barbershop through Yelp in 2024, and I've been coming back ever since. From my first visit, I knew this place was special--clean, welcoming, and full of great vibes. My go-to barber has been Alex V., and I can't recommend him enough. He's super friendly, takes his time, and is meticulous when it comes to scissor-cut styling. He really pays attention to the details, making sure every cut is on point. Beyond the top-tier cuts, the whole team here is incredibly welcoming, and they always have great music playing, which adds to the overall experience. If you're looking for a high-quality barbershop with talented barbers and a great atmosphere, look no further. You won't be disappointed! read more

I'll cut to the chase. If you have Asian hair, don't take the gamble and just drive out to LA or OC. For what it's worth, my barber was extremely kind but quite frankly I'm a bit mortified by how uneven my hair is, and how evidently it seems like all of the requests/feedback that I gave during the cut weren't acknowledged at all. I also take issue with the fact that the website states that a shampoo + steam towel service are part of the haircut. None of these services were offered to me, nor was the $5 off service for first timers discount applied as well. I hoped to have a great experience here after reading all of the great reviews on Yelp and Google, but sadly I don't think I'll be returning here read more

Purpose LA barbershop is the best in town. The barbers are very professional and everyone great you with respect. Trent always does an amazing job on my son's hair. If you haven't been there, make an effort to treat your to an amazing haircut. read more

Highly recommend this place! Took my grandson Nova for a haircut and it was the best cut ever. They are so nice and took their time cutting his hair just right! Definitely coming back! read more

I've been to several good places for a haircut in LA and recently wanted to find somewhere closer. Didn't realize I'd end up finding the best place I've ever been to. I've had two experiences here so far and both were fantastic. Friendly people and the coolest shop dog. Jorge and Nat both took time to understand what I was looking for and also took the time to make sure my cut was clean and detailed. Absolutely no rushing it at all. The shop also has drinks and games to play while you wait. Easily recommend coming here. read more

I can't explain how amazing this barber shop is and how amazing Nat is!!! Been coming here for a few months now and this place is a total vibe. Nat chatted with me about what I was looking for and offered some ideas and letting her show off her knowledge and skill gave me the best haircut I've ever had. I've never had people compliment me on my haircut before and I heard it everywhere I go. So happy I found this place! read more

The service, quality, and vibe of Purpose LA are phenomenal. Trent is my barber and cuts my hair as if he was born to do it. I feel and look like, "I am Him," after Trent finishes cutting my hair.
