Hi Christopher! There should be a sign posted that says Kelly will be back on the 17th :) Kelly some times leaves the country to go see her grandchildren or to get follow ups on her shoulder surgery… more

I walked in on a rainy Wednesday, expecting no crowd but there was a man before me and two others also came during my cut. Her prices right now is $26 for cut and an extra $3 for shampoo. The lady works quickly and confidently, without being rough and sloppy. I showed her a picture and she went to work. I've been to other quiet barbers ran by old people and sometimes the silence can be a little scary, but she was responsive, just enough to ease any anxieties.

Went in for a haircut and she didn't disappoint! It's always scary going to a new barber for the first time, but I'm glad I took a risk for this place. I'll be coming back indefinitely!

What an unexpected gem!
I called ahead to check for availability and was told that my time frame worked.
I entered on a rainy afternoon during my lunch break and there happened to be no wait.
I showed the barber some photos of a prior haircut, and she quickly got to work.
15 MINUTES LATER AND SHE WAS DONE!!!
That includes a wash! Normally I'd be apprehensive about any quick cuts, but she put on a clinic for a quick, efficient, and detailed haircut. Normally I wouldn't associate "quick" with "detailed", but this isn't a normal barber.
I can't wait for another opportunity to support her.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Joshua S.Los Angeles, CA8273Apr 14, 2022
Kelly really knows her way around a head of hair. She gives a great haircut. A big plus is she doesn't put you through the typical small talk question and answer session one often has to endure at the barber. If you want to sit quietly and get a great haircut this is your place. I don't ever want to go anywhere else.
Pro tip: Her prices are inexpensive, for which one gets an excellent efficient haircut. Tip extra generously, and the next time you get a haircut she'll spend extra time on you, hunting down every possible stray hair until she achieves perfection.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Carlos O.Los Angeles, CA05May 24, 2023
This really is a hidden gem. Lower prices than most, fast haircuts, and low wait times. Most importantly, the quality of hair cuts are great.

Kelly always does a great job. Doesn't say much, but you tell her what you want and she does it. Be aware, cash only.

Looks can be deceiving, didn't think much of it at first, but I gotta say the Lady Barber is excellent and very detail oriented at what she does. Would definitely be coming back when I'm in the area again.

I am Korean American, so my hair is a combination of a straight and wavy mess. I have lived here in Los Angeles for more than 19 years, so my hair has endured a plethora of hair misfortunes.
However, approximately four or five months ago, when my former hair stylist betrayed me by not offering me any home haircuts due to Coronavirus, I took a chance on a new barber shop experience based upon a recommendation by a true friend of mine whom I trust wholeheartedly.
So now, I can (and have) turn towards the trusted and true gem of a hidden talent, Kelly. She is really THE ONLY PERSON who doesn't make me and my hair look like I am a porcupine! It really takes a special and talented person to accomplish such an easy and perfect haircut when you think about the thousands of hairstylists here in Los Angeles that THINK they know what they are doing. Kelly is the best. For me to tip $40-60 on a $24 haircut should really tell you that me as a 41 year old person, truly means something.
Take my advice if you want an effortless and easy-to-manage gentleman's haircut. Again, I've lived here for more than 19 years and it's really hard to find someone that is consistent and talented. - Dec 12, 2019
Kelly is a great barber. As the other reviews state, she's fast and efficient. Her prices are reasonable; $20 for a haircut, $23 with shampoo. You can't really get close to these prices in the neighborhood. I definitely recommend getting the shampoo, for $3 more it's a nice touch, it feels like a quick head massage that feels quite refreshing on your way out.

Our exchange:
Me: do you want me to take a picture so people on Yelp will know you aren't closed down?
Her: uhh, sure.
That was our entire conversation 5/5 gave me an undercut for 20$ and I made it back to my car in 20 min.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
