The operating timing is not accurate, when I reached this shop at 8.30pm. they were not taking anymore customer, and is prepared to close the shop. Should have update the correct closing timing. And furthermore, the online booking for appointment doesn't operate on weekends, and the branch telephone is always never pickup. So when I did a walk-in then was told they are closing for the day. Waste of time coming all the way here!

Don't bother to visit this shop, tried to call for appointment and got super rude response through the phone.
Cannot even demonstrate customer service through the call and don't expect a great haircut experience.
Visit at your own risk

Terrible, Horrible, and Super Unfriendly guy who work at this barber shop. Normally any salon, barbershop, or even those neighbourhood shop will "greet" or "say Hi" when we enter the shop.
However this is not the case for this Barber shop.
I walked in, look at the price and services, and I greet the barber guy.
He stare at me, look away, ignore
Then I said " I am looking around and checking of what services an products you have"
The barber guy look at me, look down, ignore.
If he is the boss, definitely he need to know that no one appreciate such service
If he is just an employee, he should learn how to say Hi to people.

BARBER - JUSTIN
IT WAS MY FIRST TIME TRYING THIS BARBERSHOP,
I WAS ATTENDED BY JUSTIN
HE CHARGED ME $50 BECAUSE I HAVE A THICK HAIR WHICH I UNDERSTAND,
HE WAS OK BUT HE WAS NOT THAT FRIENDLY AND APPROACHABLE , MAYBE HE WAS JUST TIRED AND LIKE THAT DUE TO LANGUAGE BARRIER?
-REFERENCE:
FOR REFERENCE I SHOWED HIM MY PHOTO WITH MEDIUM LENGTH HAIRCUT BUT HE ENDED UP CUTTING MY HAIR TOO SHORT ,
IM A WORKING ADULT BUT MY HAIR LOOKED LIKE SEC 1 WHO WAS ASKED BY MY DISCIPLINE MASTER TO CUT MY HAIR SUPER SHORT,
-CUTTING:
HE WAS A LITTLE ROUGH WITH CUTTING AND PULLING MY HAIR,
-WASHING:
HE PUT SO MUCH SHAMPOO ON MY HAIR FELT LIKE I WAS GONNA GO BALD BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF SHAMPOO THAT WAS ON MY HAIR
-WARM TOWEL
IT WAS NICE AND RELAXING
-RAZOR:
THIS IS THE PART WHERE I LOST MOOD,
I COULD STILL TAKE THE SHORT HAIR AND ROUGH HAIRCUT AND WASHING BUT WHEN HE WAS USING THE RAZOR TO CLEAN MY SIDE BURN AREA HE WASNT CAREFUL HE CUT MY EYEBROW AND HE DIDNT EVEN KNOW HE DID OR MAYBE HE JUST ACTED LIKE IT NEVER HAPPENED.
I POINTED OUT AT THE END AND HE SAID SORRY & SUDDENLY BECAME FRIENDLY....
IM NOT SURE WHY THIS HAPPENED TO ME MAYBE HES IN A BAD MOOD OR TIRED BUT I WAS SO UNLUCKY TO GET HIM.
MY HAIRCUT WAS OK BUT IT WAS SO SHORT BUT EYEBROWS GROWS REALLY SLOW
NOT 1 BARBER OR HAIRDRESSER IN MY ENTIRE LIFE ACCIDENTALLY SHAVES MY EYEBROW EXCEPT JUSTIN FROM LA BARBER COMPASSONE
WORST EXPERIENCE SO FAR.

Came on the weekend one time around 2pm and told me none available and to make appointment on 4:30pm and I didn't want that time. This time round I came and there was available hair stylist. I took precision cut package here and I satisfied with the result. I pointed the hair style I wanted and it was very neat cut. Will come again next time.
The payment with card didn't work and had to pay with cash.

I visited as a walk-in client. Got a haircut and full face shave. Overall service was great! Place looks cozy. The barber looked professional. Their equipment were good too especially the one they use for shampooing and rinsing. Its a front loading cabinet type setup. First time using that and it was interesting. Nice space saving feature of the shop. Wanted to highlight that my shave was really close. Nice job from the barber. Not to mention that he was very careful and his routine made the process pain free.

I used to frequent the more popular indie barbershops, but over time getting to those places and getting an appointment became too tiresome.
So happy to have found LA Barbershop so close to my home.
Quality of the haircut is good, and service amazing.

Great service that comes with wash and quick back massage. Been there twice so far for my fade cuts. Whole thing was fuss free but it's a little pricey...
Darryl Ng
Justin really surprised me by how fast, precise his skills were.
The head massage, washing of hair, hot towel service were impressive!
He completed the entire service in 30 mins which usually other barbers take an hour.
Totally worth the $45 that I paid for.
Save a lot of time & fantastic experience

Very friendly and professional staff who attended to my every need. I pointer out what i generally wanted and they gave a fantastic hair cut along with a wash, warm towel and massage. Truly top tier service for an honestly affordable price! I enjoyed my experience very much and would love to come back again!
Ting Fang
Great service. I will return again for their service
Ray
Haircuts consistently meet the standard, and the service is great. However, I'm not a fan of washing my hair facing forward and down; other outlets have you face backward. So, it depends on which outlet you visit."
Edwin Tan
I still haven't found a more professional and efficient barber than the ones at LA barbershop. They follow your instructions and are meticulous and careful. Highly recommend!
