Was looking for a new barber around my neighborhood and found this place on Yelp. It's cash only and $25 for a male haircut. This barber has been here for so long. I think he's been in this location for 30+ years. I walked in on a Thursday afternoon and the place was pretty empty and open, which was really nice! Nick was great. He's originally from Greece. He cut my hair meticulously and carefully. He gave me some good tips on how to style my straight hair. The barbershop itself was clean, no-frills, and easy. I definitely recommend Nick and Spiros if you're looking for a men's cut! read more

Spiro is a great guy, nice haircut nice conversation I highly recommend, you wont be dissapointed VINNY from Paramus

Nick is a great Barber. Friendly, outgoing, and allows walk-ins. I took my son for a haircut. He's one of the few barbers that still knows how to do a regular haircut. read more

This is one of the old school barber shops where the man is a master with scissors and clippers and has been doing haircuts longer than most barbers who werent even born yet. Nick is very friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. His shop is very comfortable and has magazines and newspapers to read while you wait, or chat it up with the other customers. The price for a haircut is exceptional and the service you get is exceptional as well. read more

Feel safe men and women who enter this holy site that's been here for years. This gentleman and helpers are all Barbers who have the special license to use a straight blade. So, men, go in and treat yourself to a hot towel and Barber style treatment! Women they do it all for as well. Treat yourself to some good conversation and good people while taking care of yourself. You almost go back in time here. I guess this is what I like and is subjective but, I tell you. If you want the old Barber style treatment, then this is the only other spot I'll let cut my hair. Plus, the owner is just an awesome and humble man. Kind people who care. read more

Spiros Barber Shop - My boy with uncle Nic! - Barbers Near Me - Long Beach, California

See all

Quick & Dirty: If there were ever a business in Long Beach that I would be more than happy to give a 5 Star Yelp to this would be the place. Great haircut and fantastic service. Nick is a very cool guy! Long & Cut: I typically go to the Syndicate but being fed up with the wait time especially on the weekends I thought I would try someplace new, so I went to Spiro's Barber Shop after reading it's ONE and only yelp since '06! First off a big thanks to Eric H. who reviewed this place way back. His review was on par and was the review I read which led me here. I walked in and was the only person there. An older guy came out of the back and pleasantly greeted me with a nice big smile and told me to take the chair. He asked me what I wanted and I told him just a clean up and from that point we BS'd for the next 15 minutes. We talked about Long Beach and he told me how he's owned this shop for years, lived in London, and now lives in Cerritos. I couldn't have enjoyed his company more. Sure Spiro's is nothing like the Syndicate and that's okay! It was nice to get a break from the attitude and crazy artwork and the lines and the feeling of I'm not cool enough to get my haircut there. Nick at Spiro's actually talked to ME unlike at The Syndicate where they only talk to each other. Nick did too have art on the walls but it's a little more greek influenced, and you can buy it too! Overall, I am VERY glad I went here and I would ABSOLUTELY go here again. My haircut is clean and neat and he didn't take nearly as long as the Syndicate either. If you are looking for a good cut then Nick is the guy to see! Do yourself a favor guys and get a haircut from Nick, he deserves the patronage. Note: He's closed Sunday's and Monday's. read more

Spiros Barber Shop - Spiro's Barbershop - Barbers Near Me - Long Beach, California

I loved the whole experience, starting with the little doggo welcoming me! I forgot her name but she works Saturday's only. Well she gave me a great cut that worked best for how my high volume hair falls. 10/10 recommend this place and I will be back! read more

So I finally decided to find my own personal barber and the Yelp reviews of Spiro's is correct. No tough guy attitude here, just a perfect cut at a fair price. Nick is a cool old guy and I felt at home right away. If you're a regular dude that doesn't need all the fluff of the other barbershops in the area then Spiro's is the place for you. read more

Spiros Barber Shop - Cut just right - Barbers Near Me - Long Beach, California

Just an update on price. It was $25 for men's haircut and it is still cash only. As for the haircut, I didn't get it cut by the owner so can't comment on him but mine was below average. Especially for that price, no shave or wash read more

Nick is a fabulous barber, I used to come here for years when I lived in Long Beach, and even continued to come after I moved to Vegas, he has even cut all 3 of my boys and always does a fantastic job, they just don't make barbers like Nick anymore and he is truly a Long Beach gem. read more

All the reviews here seem so good and it sucks that I have to dump on the place. Maybe it's because Nick was at lunch, but this has to be one of the WORST haircuts I have ever received. I didn't think it was possible to mess up too much with clippers, but the sides of my head look chewed on by a dog! I didn't dare ask the nice lady who cut it to fix it, because at the rate it was going I feared it would only get worse. Sadly, my never-ending quest for a decent barber in Long Beach continues. read more

Nick asked me if the last person to cut my hair was a woman. He could see what was wrong with the shape, the length- wrong style for my head. He should know, he's been cutting hair for over 40 years. He's even taught classes. I couldn't have been happier with the result, and just $16? Keep the change my friend, I'll be back again. On another note, I unknowingly walked in here 5 minutes before close. He didn't turn me away, didn't even make a thing about it. Class act, knows how to take care of his customers. read more

Nick and the new kid get my business for three reasons: 1. Short wait time 2. Good conversation 3. Quality cuts I've been to Syndicate and Razorbacks, the customer service was not very impressive and the barbers took forever to do basic work. Spiros is less gimmick and more talent. read more

Wow, if it wasn't for Yelp, I would've never known about this place. I live just a couple blocks away from Spiros for the last 5 years! I wish I would've known it then. Nick the owner, also the main barber is VERY VERY friendly. I definitely felt very comfortable right when I walked in. Mind you, I'm used to going to Floyd's (a franchise barbershop) where everything is loud, trendy, and hip. This place was a bit different. It felt more homely and cozy. I have a hard time trusting barbers and their knowledge of giving an Asian guy a fade (our course hair and our head shape makes it difficult for most barbers! Lol) Most just don't do it right. Well, Nick had the Mida's touch and hooked me up with one of the best fades ever! Not only he set me up with a clean zero fade, he also did it in less than 20 minutes WHILE having a full-on conversation with me. He's intricate with those shears and I definitely recommend him to anyone. Even though he's been in the business for so long, he knows his current trend and style. Thanks, Nick! Keep up the good work man! read more

Needing a break from the long lines at Syndicate, i rolled through here on a lazy weekday looking to get clean for the miss. No line, no wait, just me, Nick and some paintings for sale on the wall. Aside from a good cut, Nick's likes to chop it up and always has something interesting to say. He even remembered me from my last haircut, over 6 months ago. My hair got butchered at another barbershop a few days prior to my last visit - i thought i could get a good cut for $7, but...nope, it doesn't exist. Anyways, Nick noticed how bad it was and fixed things up proper, lined me up and sent me on my way. I gotta say, this my go-to guy now for a great cut in LB. Give this place a try, it ain't nothing fancy, but it gets the job done. read more

Spiro has this new kid, Amin, who cuts hair just great. I have used Thu for years, but - in her absence - I tried Amin and was really satisfied with the "cut". read more

I have been going to Nick for about three years now. And I must say he can give a mean haircut. He needs little direction, with all his experience. Recently, he has gotten pricey. At first it was $12, then $15. When I went to Nick a few weeks ago it was $17! I would avoid the other trendy barbers down 4th street because of the pricing. But for a few bucks more I will give them a try. I first went to Nicks for a good haircut at a great price from a great guy. Now Spiros is joining the ranks of the 4th street barbers without all the bells and whistles. That green dollar sign on the review profile should now be a two. read more

Frankly the best. Nick is the consummate barber. Kind, thoughtful and very talented. Always a clean crisp cut. Sue on Saturdays is equally talented and always a sweetheart. It's my favorite barbershop. read more

Best barber ever. My fellow Greek, Nick, knows his stuff. I always get compliments after a cut from him. read more

I was visiting from LA I'm glad I stop by his barbershop. Nick is so friendly and welcoming! Gave me a great haircut just in time for the weekend. Thank You Nick read more

Nick Nicola is the owner of Spiro's Barber Shop and he has been my barber since I moved to Long Beach in 1990. When I moved to Seattle in 1997, Nick is one of the people that I missed the most. After Nick cut my hair for the first time, all I ever had to do on subsequent visits was sit in the chair and relax -- he knew exactly what to do. And the same was true when I FINALLY changed my hairstyle a couple of years ago! Nick massages my scalp with a special (Greek?) potion, washes my hair and even trims around the edges with a straight razor. Getting my haircut is one of my favorite things in life...and getting my haircut by Nick is one of my favorite things about Long Beach. Nick is one of the reasons that I moved back to Long Beach from Seattle! Plan ahead: Spiro's is open Tuesday through Saturday and is busiest on Saturdays...but worth the wait! read more

Nick cuts hair. It's what he does and he's been doing it for more than 30 years. In the same shop. $16 haircuts, no fancy stuff and as much gab as you care to entertain. Want a great, affordable haircut? Go see Nick. read more

So glad to have met Nick. What a personable guy, and a great haircut. Plus it's walking distance to my apartment. The last place I went to hiked up their prices so this was a great alternative. Nick has been there 40 years, and there's a reason. Very pleased. read more

Should be no stars at all. Older guy from London cut my hair or more butchered it over. He didn't even listen to what I asked for which isn't a difficult cut anyway. Then at the end I pointed out the crappy fade and lack of fade on one side of my head he acts like there nothing wrong with it. I can't believe he was willing to let me walk outside with such a crappy cut. Also if a place wants to do cash only no problem but put a sign on the window that says so! read more

While cruising around Yelp I discovered Spiros, and after reading all of the extremely positive reviews I decided to give it a shot. Rarely is Yelp wrong, right? Right! What a positive experience. I walked in, sat down, and was greeted by Nick. All I need to say is that he's a genuinely nice and easy going person, he knows what he's doing, and if you need your haricut, you should see him ASAP. He asked me what I wanted, and with little guidance, he gave me an impressively clean haircut. The location is also very nice too, on the less busy part of 4th (bonus points if you stop by Portfolio after). Fast, efficient, friendly, unpretentious. I'll be back. read more

This is my first (and likely last) Yelp review, but I can't say enough thing about Spiro's and Nick in general. I spent a solid two years trying to achieve a certain look at various barbershops around Long Beach, and was really beginning to think it was just impossible. After getting my dome destroyed for what seems like the tenth time at Syndicate, I took the advice of a friend and let Nick take a turn at my head. Figuring I just wasn't speaking the proper barber language, I tried awkwardly to explain to Nick what I wanted, and he responded, "Sure, Sure, I'll take care of you." I received quite simply the best haircut I've ever had, and continue to receive them every few weeks for the last year and a half. I've sent several friends to see him and they are permanent converts. Spiro's doesn't have all the "pizzaz" of the more punk establishments in town, but you will also never walk out with a crappy haircut from a guy too hungover to care. Nick is the best Barber around, and if you ask he'll tell you great stories about how the Beatles put him out of business when he was cutting hair in London in the early 60's read more

After getting burned by three expensive lady "stylists" (who only went to school for 6 months) I got smart and saved $25 by visiting Spiro's. Nick is a Greek God, he cut my hair and made me look like Brad Pitt after the gals had me looking like bad pig. This guy isn't some psychobilly with pretty tats. He is the real deal. Barbers actually go to school not just a telecourse. read more

Nick is awesome! Old school barber, he's been in the same location for 30+ years. Very friendly, respectful, gave me what I wanted in a haircut. Found my new regular barber! Best part, right next to the friendliest mail service, 4th Street Postal !! read more

Been here twice. Both times they didn't listen to what I wanted and the fade came out poor. They're nice people but I won't be coming back

Great $17 haircuts, good conversation like a barbershop should be, fast friendly service, never really that crowded, nice area and close to home (for me at least). What's there not to love?! I always have Nick cut my hair and he always does a great job. Just be clear on what you want and you shall receive. read more

Nick did an excellent job on my haircut. I just found it to be a bit pricey. Otherwise, I'd say it's a great haircut, and good conversation. read more

I admit I was a little nervous when I first decided to give this place a try. I'm moving to a different area in LB, and this place is within walking distance, and I have had a few misses with my usual shop. I didn't get a cut from the owner Nick, but from his assistant, though I didn't catch her name. Plenty of seating while you wait, lots of magazines. Nice cozy feel. She did a great job and spent plenty of time catching stray hairs. I will be back! read more

My boyfriend goes here for every haircut and as his girlfriend, I love his cuts. The price is very good for the amount of time the barber puts into cutting. The barber is a perfectionist and my boyfriend has never been disappointed. Walk-ins are welcomed and everyone is very friendly compared to other hair salons in the neighborhood we have encountered. read more

I walked in about a year ago and met Amin who knew how to fix a bad former haircut and shape it into something perfect, age appropriate and effortless to fix! He's a great conversationalist and the shop has a great vibe. No pretense just quality cuts. I returned recently and thankfully Amin was still there. He gave another perfect cut using both clippers and scissors. I even added on a shave shape up. I felt like a new man afterwards!! read more

Great haircut and even better conversation.

My best barber shop, they know my style and I been going for months. They are super friendly and their prices are good compare to others in the area. Sucks that I moved from long beach but I still make it to come all the time. read more

Nick is awesome and I always leave there looking sharp. He could tell on my first visit that I was uneasy with just anyone cutting my hair and he quickly put me at ease. I am glad I happened to stop by because now I am a regular customer. read more

The lady that cut my hair referred me to Nick about 6 years ago. She said she was waiting for a customer and would not cut my hair. I asked if there was someone close by that could cut my hair. She referred Nick to me. I have been a loyal customer since. Nick always does his best to accommodate anyone. It may not be the fanciest or hippest joint around, but, I always walk out pleased. You're the man Nick! read more

Nick is hands down the best barber in town! I have been a customer here since 2005 and have tried other shops but with Nick it is no nonsense. He's an expert on all things hair and you will leave feeling like a million bucks after one of his cuts. Walk-ins encouraged!! read more
