Blind Barber really set the tone. The entrance hits you with that low-key speakeasy energy, like…read moreyou're about to stumble into trouble, but the fun kind. Inside, it's all smooth lighting, good people, and music that actually understands the assignment. The vibe is easy, the drinks go down suspiciously well, and it's one of those spots where you look around and think, yeah... this is exactly where I was supposed to end up tonight. Five out of five stars, because apparently perfection does exist and it decided to hide behind a barbershop

I've been to several Blind Barber locations over the years -- New York, Chicago, Culver City -- and…read morewhile they all share the same concept of a barbershop up front and a speakeasy in the back, each one has its own unique personality. The Highland Park location definitely stands out. Right when you walk in, there's a fish tank by the entrance, and the bar area itself is surprisingly spacious. The energy was high -- people were dancing, the DJ was spinning hits, and everyone seemed to be having a good time. The drinks were solid, though definitely on the pricier side (a 6-pack of Modelo for $50 felt steep, even by LA standards). Still, it's a great spot if you're looking for a fun night out with friends and don't mind splurging a bit.

I was staying in the area and I was starting to feel a little shaggy. Fortunately, The Barber…read moreStudio was right around the corner from me. I figured, I'd get my haircut here right now because I needed it and when I find a permanent home I could always switch. Fast forward, I still come here even after I've moved and it takes me 25 minutes on a good day to get to. My first visit, Jess made me feel at ease, I showed her what I was looking for and she gave me a great haircut at a great price. Seriously, part of the reason that I haven't found another place is a comparable price has so far, not been possible. Jess though makes up the other 90% or so. She's easy to talk to, definitely takes any feedback or thoughts and offers advice on hair. I like that she listened to wait I wanted, executed, built some trust and rapport and made a suggestion that I thought was great and I'm now growing my hair out a bit differently and it's turning out well. Super easy to make an appointment with, I'll text or DM and she manages to squeeze me in at days/times that I need. Jess keeps me coming back and I highly recommended.

Nice place and people, its set back a little bit from the road. So it is easy to miss…read more Parking is pretty easy. They are cash only, so keep that in mind. There are a couple of ATM machines heading west at some convenience stores on York. I tried this place as my previous favorite raised their regular haircut to $30 from $20. Couldn't see tipping at that price so I came up with this place. They do a good job, friendly and it might be good to make an appointment. I think I waited for over 40 minutes, but I had time to kill and their music sounded like it was from a nice sound system. Give them a try!

Bianca is an artist. I've been to this location only twice and I'm not sure why. I'm bald but have…read morea beard. Both times I've left feeling so fresh and so clean clean. She takes the time and attention to make me look perfect. I'm especially impressed by how gentle the whole beard trim goes. The process often makes me tighten up like I'm at the dentist, especially shaving around the throat, but she does a through job with almost a feather-touch, to where I'm surprised when I see how much I've been trimmed up. Thanks for making me look at feel great!

Carlos, the owner and lead barber, is a true master of his craft. He has an eye for detail that…read moremakes every cut perfect, whether you're after something sharp and modern or a classic style. On top of that, he's got a real love for cars, and chatting with him while in the chair makes the time fly by. It's like catching up with an old friend. I haven't gotten a cut from Junior, but he makes me laugh every time I'm there. Together, Carlos and Junior create an atmosphere that's real, fun, and family. You can tell they care deeply about their clients, and it shows in both the quality of the work and the vibe of the shop. The shop itself is a blast from the past. It's an old-school LA-style barbershop with that timeless charm you just don't find everywhere anymore. The walls, the chairs, the Dodgers, the energy takes you back, while still feeling fresh. Bottom line: Jake's Barbershop isn't just where you go to get a haircut...it's where you go to feel part of a community. Carlos and Junior make you feel like family, and you walk out not only looking sharp but also smiling. Five stars, easily.
