My usual barber shop I go to was closed so I googled "Barber shops in Torrance" on my phone and saw what great reviews this place had so I thought Id give it a shot. I have no idea how it got such good reviews. Heres my experience: I walked in and was not greeted-whatever no big deal. Im seated for maybe 30 seconds then a woman points to her barber chair so I get up and go sit in it. I tell her to take just about a quarter inch off the top and to give me a low fade on the sides. I even used my finger and thumb and spread them about 1.5-2 inches apart and guided it around my temples to the back of my head to explain. To emphasize what I wanted I showed her a picture on my phone. She looked at me with kind of a blank face and then looked at the man cutting someone elses hair next to us. Oh, she doesnt speak English...great. So I describe to him the same thing I just attempted to tell her and he repeats it to her in Spanish. There was a soccer game on the TV and she rotated me to it so I didnt have the mirror to look at myself in which was my first mistake. Actually that was my second mistake, my first was coming to this place. So, shes cutting my hair and then towards the end she turned my chair to the mirror....WHAT THE HELL! Im pretty sure the picture on my phone I showed her was not Miley Cyrus. She faded one side way up higher than the other. She also only used scissors to trim only half of the hair on top so it was uneven. Im trying to tell her to even it our but, alas, she does not speak English. I ended up getting pretty frustrated and eventually just said whatever and left. I tried using scissors on my hair at home and made it look a TINY bit better, but I guess my hair style for the next couple weeks is going to be a hat. Good thing Im allowed to wear one to work. I would not recommend this place to anyone, unless you type everything you want to be done to your hair on google translate Spanish edition and hand them the sheet of paper. Everyone in there was speaking Spanish loudly to each other...maybe they purposely did a bad job so my white butt doesnt come back. Sounds ridiculous, but with the condition my hair is in who knows?

Well i first walkin and see 2 barbers sitting with their cellphones. The one guy working points to the two. No greeting or anything. The two looked at one another and decides in 10 mins. Like the shop was packed or something. I felt a bit discriminated against being im black and they were Hispanic. Im only waiting because i need a cut but i also want to see how.long it actually take for this cut.i came in at 6:04 pm. 2nd gentleman walks in...ask still open. Neither 2nd or 3rd barber has moved towards any clientele....now one is hiding in back. I walked out after asking if anyone was working. I have to say without a doubt this was the worst service ever. I.dont usually say things like this but i.hope this joint gets shut down.

This place is racist AF, if you black dont go here. The guy at the end told me he couldnt cut my hair to because it was too long. The guy before him hair was way longer than mines. So then I asked him for a edge up and he said my hairline was too high and walked away. I went to another barber chair and he told me to come back next week. Like whos gonna need a cut next week. If your black dont waste your time even stopping by its a waste of time.

Not worth the time, barbers are only friendly to people they seem to know. Sat down waiting for a chair and once the person was finished someone who showed up after me was helped first and the barber just told me he had an appointment. Instead of giving me a heads up and wasted 30 minutes of my time and still didnt do a good job at the end. Would not recommend

This place is just down right rude to its clients. Im hispanic and they ignored me for a good 20 min sitting there and not one barber asked me for service or even acknowledged my wife and I where there. Some other guy walks in and asks if he could be next (when there where two other people there waiting) and the barber said yes.Terrible customer service!

Are you kidding me ? Personality AND skills ?! This shop has it down ! Real professionals in a great neighborhood setting. Want a straightforward haircut ? Done. Need your do faded six ways to Sunday ? They got you covered. So, what are you waiting for ? Go on down to see Ron and the gang. Youre taken care of !

Pretty cool barber shop in this corner Plaza next to Starbucks you get a good haircut for a very fair price especially with all these new barber shops opening up charging 20 bucks per haircut.. You got a big TV right in front of you so pretty entertaining while youre getting your haircut ..will be back

Did not get the hair cut i wanted, i asked for a low fade and got a high fade at the end because it was not even it also seems like the barbers dont get along but not sure if thats the case. i personally would not recommend it!

This is the place to go for a variety of haircuts. The barbers here are real professionals, dont talk much and are straight to business. CLASSIC BARBERS, the best in Torrance and neighboring areas.

Ive been calling this place since 9 oclock in the morning and they have yet to answer. Horrible customer service. If I could give zero stars I would.
