    Josh always giving me a perfect haircut. Thank you! Josh

    Josh is my go to barber for over 9 years now. Definitely has provided me with the best service and always great chatting it up with you bro.

    A fucked up haircut. Completely hacked off an entire side of a hair part. Wtf

    Hate to write this review because Josh and his family are good people but the cuts here have been inconsistently bad here over the past year as most of their best Barbers are gone. The new rockabilly chick cutting here ruined another 4 months of hair regrowth after a previous barber ( at this same shop ) cut literally into my hairline with 10+ inches of hair causing me to have to shave my head to regrow 4 year worth of hair growth. Hair gets longer again, a different barber performs an undercut toooo damn narrow so I'm regrowing another bad haircut from this shop. I told the girl, don't take anything off the top... nothing. Not only does she cut the top, she does one side correctly and fucking chops off a whole side part on my hair... and even then it was a shitty chop at that. After losing more months and months trying to regrow hair after their consistent "inconsistent haircuts" I'm throwing in the towel on this place. I suggest sticking with Josh if you're coming here, otherwise your haircut will literally be a hit or miss.

    I wish more people knew about this little gem in Montebello. Ever since I started getting my hair done by Monique 3 years ago, I've never gone to anyone else to touch my bangs and regularly trim my hair. It's the healthiest it has ever been in years! Monique gives great recommendations on how to style my hair. I used to go to other salons and big chain salons to get my hair done. But for the price you pay at the cream shop you get QUALITY service. Others may charge you less but do you want Supercuts quality hair? I don't!

    The hairline used to be straight and all I asked him was to please do not cut any of my long hair,  he was not careful.

    I liked going to this place, cool atmosphere, entertainming decor, and friendly staff, but Alfredo was not careful with my lines. I have been trying to get my mohawk in order for months and went to a specialist that straightened it out and Alfredo just messed me up. This makes me sad because all that work, just to have this person mutilate my lineup without a care.

    The service by Alfredo is awesome knows what he is doing and able to make look good all around. The overall process from start to finish was very good. Thank you will be going back in 2 weeks to do it all over. Gloria the owner very nice to talk to her and make me feel comfortable all around.

    Monique gave my hair that extra oomph, i wanted my dark brown hair but better! she did an amazing job for me previously dying my hair black box dye and before that it was red. I came to Monique while I was pushing 8 months of pregnancy and she was so attentive to making sure that I was comfortable or if i needed a break at any given moment. i wouldn't trust anyone else with my hair! she has a good hand & her energy is amazing!! 10/10 recommend!!

    First visit with her.

    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.
