    Just make sure you add an extra 20mins to your wait time since the barbers like to watch their shows while trimming your hair
    Angelina D.

    Came here with my hubby, the first thing I did was check in on Yelp that's when I noticed the great reviews! To my dismay this is just an average barber shop, if you need a cut go ahead and come here but just be sure that time isn't of the essence because you will be here for a while. I read the previous reviews and the owner/manager will tell you the importance of making an appointment so you don't have to wait (which is an additional $5).... GREAT...if that system worked lol My advice is just save yourself the $5 and just plan to be here for the rest of your life because the employees are to busy watching "what about bob" or whatever was on TV. The only reason I gave 2 stars is because my husbands cut did turn out nice.

    Mike gave our baby his haircut

    We are so happy with the experience we received at Sharkey's! My husband was greeted immediately & set up an appointment. We love the fact that when asked if they did kid haircuts, they were not hesitant & quite confident in their yes. Mike gave our baby his haircut & he was amazing. He was not afraid to do a child's cut & was gentle the whole time with our lil one. Everyone wore their mask, gloves, & the seats were disinfected. We are very happy! Thank you!

    First bad haircut.

    Update: Mark messaged me and offered to fix my haircut for free. He booked me right away and when I came in it was very professional. He is honestly a saint. He fixed my haircut and gave me a real fade that didn't look patchy. Gave me exactly what I wanted. I am now super happy with my hair. I posted photos of the bad haircut I got and the one mark fixed up. From now on I only trust mark with my hair. Thank you so much!

    Perfect blonde

    Sammi did an amazing job on my hair color. Even tho it's not a men's service. She did my blonde so perfect and no damage. I'll be seeing her again. Thanks so much :)

    Here is what you need to know about thick Asian hair: it does not cooperate. It does not lie flat…read morebecause you asked nicely. It does not taper because some guy with a certificate from a six-week barber program waved clippers in its general direction. It grows outward with a kind of structural defiance, perpendicular to your skull, and it has humiliated more barbers than you'd think possible given that roughly two billion people on earth are walking around with some version of it. You have two options: you find someone who understands the architecture of the problem, or you pay eighty-five dollars at some place in Silver Lake with exposed brick and a cocktail menu and hope that the price tag correlates to competence. Often it does not. Tony at Checkmate Barbershop charges forty dollars. The shop is in Montebello, which means it is not trying to be anything other than a barbershop. No reservations. No app. No hot towel upsell. You walk in, and if Tony's chair is open, you sit in it, and he does the thing that a surprising number of expensive barbers cannot do, which is cut your hair correctly. A one on the sides, tapered up, trim the top -- the kind of straightforward men's cut that sounds simple until you're the person holding the clippers and staring at hair that wants to project horizontally from the fade line like it's staging a protest. Tony navigated it with the quiet precision of someone who has solved this problem a thousand times and doesn't need to narrate the process. The taper was seamless. The top was shaped without being overthought. The cut looked right the day of and -- the real test -- still looked right a week later, which is when most mediocre haircuts reveal themselves for what they are. The shop itself is contemporary and clean, the kind of place where the design suggests someone cares but not so much that you feel like you're being charged for the aesthetic. The music was excellent and omnivorous in a way that told you something about the people running the place: The Specials drifted into Mungo Jerry drifted into something from the mid-eighties, the kind of rotation that makes you want to sit in the chair a little longer even after the cut is done. The vibe is friendly without being performative. Nobody tried to become my best friend. Nobody ignored me either. It was the Goldilocks zone of barbershop social interaction, which if you've ever sat through a forty-five-minute cut with a barber who won't stop talking about crypto, you know is not a trivial thing. Forty dollars. Walk-in. In Montebello. For a precision fade on difficult hair that holds up better than cuts I've paid nearly three times as much for. The math is so simple it's almost embarrassing that it took me this long to find it.
