Met Brandon today for a trim before some big meetings this week, it was great. Great dialogue and great cut, will definitely be back and glad that internet search served this place up for me. read more

Solid ass Dudes and a clean ass fade! Found this spot while on deployment to the Palisades Fire! Thanks Fellas! read more

Brandon's a good barber and a good dude. Took care of me more than once when I was in a tough spot.

Great service. Make an appointment before coming in, that's all. Very good quality, thank you, Dennis. read more

If you want quality workmanship you come here. They know what they're doing and you'll leave feeling and looking fresh. Pro tip: park in the parking structure off 2nd street between Santa Monica and Arizona. read more

Brandon did an amazing job. Definitely the best haircut I've ever had! If I'm ever in LA again, would definitely book again.

I am updating my review because of how impressed I was with the steps Brandon took to make sure his barber shop is as safe as possible during Covid. His effort truly blew me away. Not only does he and his staff change their outer clothes between each cut, not only do they wear masks AND shields, but they also change equipment between each cut! And Brandon installed foot-operated sinks and other barber tech to absolutely minimize hand touching. Insane! He must have dropped $10-20k on these things to make his customers safe. Dude gets it. You should get your cuts with him. This is a great place for a haircut (and hot shave and other men's hair related services)! I've been getting my cuts from Brandon for about a year and he is the best barber in West LA. He not only understands how you want your hair to look, but he provides good suggestions and remembers your preferences. The place is clean and modern and comfortable. There is whisky (and whiskey) to help relax more and good friendly banter. I am a fan and a repeat customer. read more

The guys at this joint seem to really care about getting your hair cut right. They take their time and socialize with customers. Very small place, there are not that many seats to wait around. Make sure to book your appointment. read more

These guys are great at cutting hair and really, really good talkers. Particularly the owner Brandon. Even when I'm in a hurry or having a rough day, I leave this place with a smile. They are good at being genuine. My hair looks on point too, their skills are crisp. Particularly with how things have been lately, these guys are bringing kindness back into the equation. Expensive but worth it. read more

Brandon is an amazing barber. I have thick asian hair and I had been growing out my hair and hopping from barber to barber trying to figure out who'd be able to cut my hair succesfully. There are a couple barbers in the area that can actually give solid fades - but I have longer hair on top which seems to give most of them panic attacks or just having no idea what to do in terms of blending the fade into longer hair - or pulling weight out or adding texture etc. Brandon took his time and actually did an amazing job despite me not being able to give great direction on what I wanted. The cut was a little pricier than I'm normally used to, but it was 100% worth it for me and I'll definitely come back for my next cut. He's made a regular out of me if the next cut is as good as this one. read more

Any barbers without appointments exist anymore? Specially in an area with so many tourists. Walked over to the place at opening time and did not get any service as I had to have an 'online appointment'. read more

Thank you Brandon for the best haircut I've had in 6 years. Made my trip to Santa Monica completely worth it! It was so easy and helpful to book the appointment online from their website. Great people doing amazing work here - highly recommend! Customer for life here now. Walk in through Salon Republic to the find the place. read more

Great barbershop, both Dennis and Brandon will have you looking good. My go to spot, same with all my friends. Definitely recommend it

Came here to try out their new infrared sauna and it was FANTASTIC! Clean, beautiful space and the sauna itself was so relaxing and helped so much with my achy joints/headache! The owner Brandon is so sweet and wonderful. Can't say enough good things about this experience! I sent my husband over to check it out as soon as he got off work. Highly highly highly recommended! read more

Thanks to Dennis for fitting me in last minute. Not only was it a great haircut, but great meeting such a nice guy. All cleaned up for a family wedding. Will be back when I am in the area! read more

West Side Barber Co is top notch. I've been going to Brandon for 4 years now -- he is a not only a true expert of his craft as a barber but also one of the most genuine business owners I have ever come across. He always ensures I walk out satisfied, puts in the work (can't be easy) to remember every minor detail of my current cut/style, and can spark up a conversation on almost any topic. I'd highly recommend his shop to anyone living (or just passing through) Los Angeles. You won't be disappointed! read more

I can't say enough about the homie Brandon! I've been getting my haircut from him for over 3 years now and before then I probably never had a barber longer than 3 months. It basically all comes down to the quality of work and his attention to detail that makes me come back every time. It's tough to find a barber who can give you the clean fade you want but also cut your hair just as proper and he does that better than anyone that I've met. He truly cares about his craft and takes his time to cut YOUR hair (everyone is different) which is very important when finding a barber. So I definitely recommend him you won't be disappointed brother/ sister! read more

Been coming here for almost a year and Brandon is legit. Best cut on the west side. Would recommend WSB to anyone. read more

I've been seeing Brandon Craven for beard trims for about a year now. He is the best. He gives me a great trim that looks good, he's a great guy, and all-around it's a great situation. Brandon is the best. read more

I had trouble finding the place, called them and finally found it but arrived 10 minutes late, that's on me, my bad. I was met with an extra rude welcome, Brandon said I was too late, which is ok I get it, but they way he went about it was weird and stand offish, as If he was stood up on a date. He didn't accept my apology, he offered me to his henchman Dan, who he vouched for. I felt bad so I agreed. That was a mistake, the dude was even unfriendlier, I didn't even really check out the haircut until I got to the car because the vibe was so bad, and the cut he gave me was, super whack. I had to go home and fix the haircut myself. Just my experience, take it for what it is. read more

* West Side Barber Co is located inside Salon Republic I've been going to Brandon for years now. Hands down the best haircut in Los Angeles. I recently moved to the east side and I still make time (sit in traffic) to get my haircut at West Side Barber Co. read more

By far the best spot in town for a cut pre and post Covid. Brandon is the man, gives amazing haircuts, and takes care of his customers.

West Side Barber - Barbers Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Dennis has given me a great cut both times I have seen him. He takes time getting the cut right and is easy to work with. I have curly hair and I appreciate a barber that takes time to cut correctly and consistently. Thanks Dennis! read more

Great barbershop. Dan gave me the most careful beard trim and shave I've ever gotten. Highly recommend.

A former barber at Lloyd's, Brandon is blazing his own trail in Santa Monica and it looks like his clients are right behind him. A solid barber and cool cat to boot, this guy is one of the most talented dudes I've met in my 41 years, and if he can make me look good, he can do anything. Professional, charismatic and talented, you can't ask for more than that in a barber. He just knows what he's doing. read more

Talk about a true men's barbershop. From the time I walked in felt right at home and extremely comfortable. Making an appointment was a breeze as well. My barber Brandon was extremely professional and talented. I asked for suggestions as to how I should cut my hair and Brandon was right on the spot. He also taught me how to properly style my hair. Something no barber has ever done before. If you come to here and you don't get a hot towel shave you're truly missing out. It's a must. It's extremely relaxing and the closest shave you'll ever get. Parking is easy and free for the first 90 minutes. Truly recommend this barbershop over all the others.... read more

Brandon's the best! I've been getting haircuts from him for over 3 years now and I always leave loving my cut. He's an amazing barber and takes his time to give you the best possible haircut. He provides great input, suggestions and will even remember how you like it which makes going back to him an easy process. I can't imagine going to any other barber now. His shop is awesome. I followed him over from his previous place and this new studio is even better than the first. It's super easy to book an appointment online. I highly recommend Brandon, he's the best barber on the westside. read more

I don't get a haircut or shave from anyone else but Brandon when I'm down in LA. He's super professional but also a fun, down to earth dude. The environment of the shop is great, too. Nice, old school barber shop feel. For what you're getting in terms of quality and experience, his prices are more than reasonable. Brandon has even given me (free) advice about grooming outside the shop. Highly recommended. read more

Let's face it, finding the right barber is difficult and can be stressful (don't lie to yourself). I got referred to Brandon through a friend and I'm so glad I booked an appointment. I've had a lot of barbers cut my hair, but Brandon is without question the best. He is super talented and takes his time to give you the best possible cut. Do yourself a favor and come in. You can/will thank me later. Keep up the good work, Brandon. read more
