Icon Barber Shop

Very unfriendly environment for newcomers.
Walked in and stood for a few minutes and none of the 3 barbers greeted me or even made eye contact.
They may know how to cut hair but they know nothing about customer service.

After Finally settling in into our new Home, I finally had time to cut my hair, I must say that since I’m near by, I just had to go This barber shop. I used to go to the Lakeview Terrace location for over 10 years, and I am now closer to this shop. Cesar the barber as soon as I walked in he greeted me, (He’s cut my hair Before). He cut my hair to my specifications, he was very professional, very thorough, and we had a Conversation About Boxing lol. This is my to go barber now, he does amazing work. Thanks Cesar. See you soon.

I’ll start off with Cesar, my preferred barber thus far, gives amazing hair cuts and is great with kids. However, since my son is getting older, the last place I want him to be exposed to explicitly trashy music is at the barbershop. I consider myself open minded, but I draw the line when immature adult men talk about potential clients in front of children and their mothers. I highly recommend this place for those who do not mind the trash talking in front of children, however this mommy here will never return. Taking my money and 15 dollar tip to another location. Cesar, hope you understand…

Been coming here for 3 years and been getting cut by Cesar the whole time. If you ever stop by make sure to ask for Cesar. Dude will give you the dopest cut you can imagine. Young man with a lot of stories, wisdom, and advise. Thank you very much homie.

Been brining my son to Cesar for 2 years and my little son loves him.
Yeah the environment is load– but really people it’s a barber shop. I come in early with an appointment with Cesar. He does a great job working with my 4 yr old sons moods and can accommodate our busy life! We will always come back to him!
Thanks for always making my little guy even more adorable!

Just got a great haircut at this barbershop! And it was half the price of Floyd’s! I will definitely be going back here!

I have had JR cut my hair now for 3 – 4 years. I can’t trust anyone else! I myself can cut hair and he knows exactly how I like my hair cut. He’s very talented and he’s easy to reach and make appointments with.
I have not tried any other barbers there but I see many of them putting out amazing work on their clients.
Come out to Icon and ask for JR!

One star because they cut hair well, but it wasn’t worth enduring the painfully trashy environment.
I wish I had turned around right when I walked in. I am really disappointed that this establishment is in the neighborhood I live in.
I walk in with my son and instantly felt uncomfortable. It was like I just stepped into a drug house. Employees had fully explicit music playing really loud and nobody was the slightest bit friendly. It was very unwelcoming.
I heard more explicit language than I have in the last 20 years combined. Music was disgusting — talking drugs sex and even religious blasphemy. Super ghetto trash. Album finally ends and employee puts on another equally trashy album. Very offensive.
To top it off, another employee has his young kids sitting there — all I’m thinking is these poor kids with a terrible role model — future minds being poisoned with this garbage.
Ok… So my ears are bleeding and now my eyes. Everyone there is dressed like they just came off the street — unprofessional T shirts and sagging pants. This one particular barber takes the win. He is doing a great cut, but seriously needs a belt for his pants. He keeps pulling his pants up after showing everyone his whole backside (red underwear) and a clear view of the junk in the front. Very immature.
These guys might be able to cut hair, but they pass off an environment like they are just a bunch of immature low life street rats. If they are trying to fit a stereotype then they have nailed it.
Note to owner: these guys have talent! Get them to clean up and show some class and you might have a good business. Until then, I won’t be back. You have offended and insulted me. You never know who might come in for a cut — why expose them to this garbage environment???

I love this place!
I work at a home for kids from all kinds of rough backgrounds and they LOVE getting their hair done here so they told me to go in and check it out.
I went in last Saturday without an appointment and JR hustled to get myself and a kiddo I had with me seen. We waited a bit only because he had a scheduled appointment but everyone was so friendly and accommodating and the designs we all got were on point! I am getting stopped everywhere I go by people who love my shaved side design
HINTS: call ahead because only two guys do designs so they get slammed.
Be patient because great work takes time and these guys don’t rush!
This is a little shop with so much talent!
I will forever go here.

The vibe upon entrance is similar to an awkward stoner frat house where horny bros smoke pot, play video games, and get failing grades. Nobody talks. Nobody says anything. No eye contact.
I was seated by a stoner dude who appeared to have smoked the largest joint in the world just prior to cutting my hair.
He sat me facing away from the mirror and towards a tv playing football for some reason. I asked to see my hair half way through and he said, «nah.»
Anyway …
I told the stoner dude that I wanted a simple haircut that usually takes about 5 – 10 minutes at other places. This stoner bro took 1.5 hours. I remember thinking about 45 min in, «this idiot stoner hasn’t even touched the other side of my head.»
It wasn’t till the haircut was done that I got the big reveal/​disappointment. He turned me around and it was not what I asked for at all.
I needed to get the hell out so I paid and went home to shave my head.
I can’t imagine these stoner bros lasting much longer.

This review is a little late, but considering how upset I was, I decided to go ahead and write one.
I checked out Icon on a Saturday morning. I knew it was going to be a wait since I didn’t have an appointment, but my son really needed a haircut and they are located across the street from me. I walked in and out of the 4 barbers there, not a single one said hello or we will be with you shortly. One barber that did not have a client in his chair was just playing with the music (which was not kid friendly at all!) for about 10 min. I waited close to 45 min before I had enough of being ignored and left. I understand they were busy, but a simple «there are 2 people ahead of you» would had made me feel better. Not even as I grabbed my bag and walked towards the door, did they pay attention. Not a good way to run a business. I was so disappointed since they are located so close to me.

All the barbers here can cut sick! My personal barber Chris Mecca has the best tapers and fades in the SF Valley. The atmosphere is great and there is free wifi while you are waiting for your cut.

I liked this shop until recently. Walked into the shop. No one asked to help me. Waited 20 minutes giving them the benefit of the doubt. Some guy walks in and a barber appears. Got up and walked away. I do not know what happened. Funny they lost a customer who tips 40%. Bummed out I have to find another shop.
If you want return customers. Start by saying can I help you? Anything. I feel insulted. It’s the equivalent of walking into a restaurant and have people seated in front of you who also do not have reservations.

Great barbershop! Everyone’s friendly, all the barbers there cut really good. My barber of 8 years is ernie he gets down! If you want to stay fresh i recommend this barbershop if ur in the Granada hills area!

My new spot. Cesar gives the best low fades in the business. Just a team of young barbers who love their craft.
