I have been a proud client of Shorty’s for years. Michelle and Ivan are impeccable at their jobs and they’re never too stressed or occupied to answer the phone with congeniality and courtesy. Their app is also a well designed piece of technology that can get you booked without more than 5 clicks. But the reason I keep my loyalty in check is due to Brandon. He’s the consummate professional, whose penchant for detail is admirable. He strikes a great balance between conversing about his life and yours and also ensuring that you’re in and out of his chair for your sake and that of his next client. This new flock of post Covid reopening appears to be very talented and united in the mission of delivery extraordinary haircuts for the demanding clientele that can be West Hollywood.

Service that is professional, courteous, and of good quality. My hairstyle was beautiful, and I was really happy about it. The skilled barber knew exactly what cut would look best with my features. My mother enjoys it as well. Thank you so much!

I havent been to Shortys for probably 11 years, only because I moved away then came back. Today I called and they recommended Anthony. OMG Anthony is awesome!! I showed him some pictures of haircuts I liked but he took the time to explain why those would not work for my hair texture, he still gave me a great cut anyhow. Anthony made me feel so comfortable and I really had a great time talking with him... If I could give Anthony 10 stars I would!!!

They have barbers on staff who are well-trained and experienced. Prior to that, I got my hair cut here, and my girlfriend admired my neat appearance. It had a fantastic atmosphere, as well as good music and positive vibes. I will undoubtedly return to this place. Overall, it was a wonderful experience! A service that comes highly recommended!

Ive been going to Shortys for what must be 25 years now... even before they moved to their current location. (they used to be located a couple of blocks further north on Fairfax). I know with this barber shop that no matter who I get assigned to me to cut my hair Im going to get a good haircut.I believe their price for the standard haircut has gone up recently. Its more than I like to pay, but its certainly comparable or less expensive than the majority of other trendy or more recently opened hair cutting salons and barber shops in the area.

I brought my dad to get his hair done on his last visit here. He was also impressed at the attention each customer got, and the pride they took in their jobs. My father was so grateful to me. He very much liked his new haircut. You guys have been terrific. I recommend this position quite highly.

I wrote this review to express how thankful and happy I am with your services. I thanked your barber for cutting my hair into a modern style. Actually, my friends love my new-look now. I will surely visit your barbershop again and again. Thanks to your barber again! Very strongly recommended to everyone!

Try this barbershop, and you will be satisfied with their customer service! The staff at this barbershop were extremely friendly, welcoming, and entertained by their customers. As I went to their shop with my brother, I found their workplace to be very convenient and tidy. This barbershop comes highly recommended by us! Exceptional help!

The barbershop is highly recommended! I went to this place to ask for help because my hair was so messy. I highly appreciate your barber because he was so experienced, polite, and easy to alter my hairstyle. Youre keeping up the good job, boys. Next time, see you! Cheers for a well done job! Uh, thanks!

It was a well-done job at a decent rate. My hair was cut by a real master barber, who completed the job in a matter of minutes and it was flawless. This barbershop has proven to be extremely beneficial to me!

I came here to get a trim and I must say that this barbershop provided me an amazing experience. Ariel gave me excellent treatment from the fade to the trim up top, hot towel treatment, hair rinse, and neck and upper back massage. You really have a great service!

I had the most wonderful experience at Shorty’s! Courtney cut my hair and not only did a fabulous job, but he had great energy. The whole place has a great vibe and is the perfect little spot in WeHo. This will definitely be my new place to regularly get my haircut.

Got my haircut on Shorty’s patio by Nicole and I had a great experience. I felt safe as everyone wore masks, sanitized, and had their temperature taken before sitting in the chair. Nicole was great to hang with and had me looking good during the haircut shortage of 2020.

I have been going here for years. The best! Love Pita, Rick, Cesar, etc. it’s also super cool and hip. Good vibe. I use a few of their products as well. Putty and the peppermint shampoo. Both the haircut and products are inexpensive. They always have done me right! Five stars.

Whats not to like? They do womens cut and color as well as mens. Its a quick trip and its a great price! The people working there seem really happy. Court did my color and I get a lot of compliments on it. I wish I could go more often but I dont live here!

I passed this shop few times and it looked cool from outside. When I needed urgent haircut before my interview, I called them midday and was able to get in within 15 min. Julie was great, attentive and educational about both my hair and products I can use. And shampooing after haircut...feel like a baby again! Anytime Im in West Hollywood and need haircut, Im back at Shortys!

I got one of the worst haircuts of my life from a barber at Shortys.I came in, showed the barber a picture (a basic skin low fade), and asked him to shape my facial hair.What did I get? It wasnt a fade, much less a skin fade. He pretty much left a line just above my ears and kept the length above that horrible line the same length. (Perhaps his barber college taught him that a fade didnt have to be, well, a fade?) When I asked him to fix it, he blamed me and said that the man in the picture I showed him had different hair type than I did. While I credited his powers of observation, I reminded him that the picture was meant to show him how high (or low) the fade had to be. He then tried his best to fix it, which was barely an improvement. (Did I mention that he didnt even thouch my mustache? I guess his barber college also taught him that mustache wasnt part of facial hair.)To their credit, Shortys offered to comp my haircut (I declined) or to have another barber fix my hair (I again declined because I thought it would result in an awkward situation).I dont mean to suggest that all Shortys barbers suck (I saw others work, and they seemed pretty good), but this particular one certainly did. (He didnt introduce himself, and I didnt ask his name, but his station is downstairs right under the letter Y of the lit Shortys sign on the wall.)

Great staff, fun atmosphere, and very professional barbers. A bit pricey for some but if youre not to worried about that, Shortys is the place to go.

Shortys is great. I come here regularly. Decent value and you’ll always get a great cut no matter the stylist. Come on a weekday morning and there is usually never a wait!

Review №38

I was a happy customer of Shorty’s for over a year and tried returning after my stylist moved on. I got a cut from Julia, who was highly recommended by the person answering the phone. I found her to be a nice, cool person who was easy to talk to. As it turns out, she wasn’t much of a listener.I told Julia I’d gotten a bad haircut elsewhere and had grown it out and wanted to preserve the length and fix the shape, giving pretty specific requests of how wanted it. I have to cut my hair a certain way for work, but I make my expectations clear before letting a cutter proceed.Before I knew what was happening, she cut off most of my new growth and left the shape of the previous haircut intact. I tried not to freak out and asked her to fix a particularly strange looking spot - and she blamed me for it, saying “I pretty much just did what you told me and tried to follow the shape of the last cut You got”. Okay, exactly the opposite of what I said...I kept my cool, left a big tip, and now I’m going to find where my last cutter moved to. I won’t be back to Shorty’s though, even though Julia and the rest of the staff are genuinely pleasant people.

I have been coming here for maybe 6 years. I make an appointment with my preferred stylist, Dee, whom I adore both as a person and for my wonderful haircuts --so my review is, of course, about a highly individualized experience.But I have gotten haircuts from many of the the stylists and have never been disappointed.The vibe is very informal and neighborhood, but once I am in the chair I feel like I am in some high-end joint in Beverly Hills, instead of on Fairfax Avenue.A friend recommended this place to me those 6 years ago, and I am so glad he did!

Above average experience with friendly staff, and a “hair garage” ambiance. Tip for anywhere really - Speak up if you don’t get what you expect the first time they finish. They are the expert, but its an art ;-)

My six-year-old son needed a haircut on a Sunday. I searched online and found Shorty’s. So glad! Great experience, fashionable haircut for a young kid (hard to find sometimes) and reasonable pricing. Ivan greeted us warmly and Sarah did a perfect job on his Beckham inspired haircut. She listened to what he wanted and he enjoyed the experience but even more he LOVES his new haircut. Thanks a bunch we are so happy to have a go-to place

I went here for the 1st time & got my haircut by Chris! Hes awesome at designs! I have a Mohawk with shaved sides & he took his time (about an hour) to create a unique/clean design & I received nothing but compliments for weeks on his masterpiece! Love this shop! The atmosphere is awesome as well. Everyone is very nice, upbeat & bubbly. Sorry to all of the people who commented & said they had negative experiences. Try it out for yourself is all I can say.

Review №44

I love shortys but maybe I am a little biased since I can just roll out of bed and into the salon chair. Very Friendly staff and the hairstylists are up on the newest trends in hair to the classic mullet with rat tail. Just dont ask for that. They also have high standards to products the sell. I defiantly recommend if your a boy,young man or silver fox to give shortys a try.

Review №45

Usually I get a great cut here. Every once in a while, youll get someone who doesnt jive with your style. Though Ive usually been really pleased with most of the people here.I highly recommend Dee. She always gets it right and is full of great conversation. Ive always left more than pleased with her cuts and I get complements on her work all of the time.

I’ve been getting my hair cut at shorty’s for over 10 years—it’s absolutely the best. I have very long, thick hair, but they always do an incredible job cutting it. Ask for BRANDON—he’s truly an artist.

Review №49

Every time summer I come back to LA from Boston -- and every summer I stop at Shortys for a haircut or two or three. And I wanted to give a shout-out to the service that one barber there in particular provides. ANTHONY takes whatever directions you offer in terms of the cut and he executes those directions terrifically and efficiently. And he takes cues as well in terms of engaging in conversation or not. He is the most perceptive and talented barber and/or stylist Ive encountered in a long time. And I hope to benefit from his service for a long time to come.

I haven’t been here in years but decided to get my haircut here because my partner already comes here, and I have to say they did a pretty good job, and I feel like in very particular with my hair I’ll be going back for sure.

My new spot! I have looked around quite a bit for a new place, not a fan of switching at all. Couldnt have been happier with my choice, the place is super laid back, the staff is great, and my haircut is exactly what I was looking for. Anthony is great, I will be requesting him from now on. I would recommend this place to anyone!! Prices are great as well compared to some other trendy hair places.

Ive been here a few times and I really love it. I go to a guy named Rick, who is amazing. I read in a few reviews that some barbers spent about 10 minutes, but Rick always takes longer, which I like. He really takes his time to make sure everything is perfect. $27 for a haircut that is better than some professional salons that I have been to and spent way more is really hard to beat. Save yourself a headache and go see Rick!

A while ago i gave 5 stars but I had to edit this review. I have been a customer of Shortys for almost 5 years . Today, again, i had a very bad experience, and it s always the same girl. She is an arrogant and doesnt want to be there, very bad manners and gave me a horrible haircut . I thought they had better judgment on theyr employees.I will never go back.

Review №66

I used to go to Shortys and I was lured away to another place because of a discount and a friends recommendation. For a while it was ok, but then twice in a row I got the worst haircuts Ive ever had. So I came back to Shortys. And now three of four times in a row with all different stylists (I think it costs extra to choose a specific stylist and Im poor enough that I can be lured with discounts), Ive walked away with cuts that I love!The staff is friendly and the vibe is inclusive. Love em!

Friendly but the guy who cut my hair didnt know what he was doing. Cut the sides and back using just a #2 guard - no fade to blend it in and went to high giving me a weird wide faux hawk look.

I saw Jordan here. He gave me a bad cut and seemed annoyed with me the whole time. Seemed irritated that I was asking questions about my hair. Also the woman over the phone told me they dont do reservations so to just come walk in. Well I did and then was greeted by a 20-minute wait (hint; thats what reservations are for!). Will NOT be going back and cannot recommend.
