Felix Omar’s Men’s Grooming Studio

$ 75 for a regular fade haircut? Com’n…how absurd can you be? I would give 0 stars if I could!

If you really feel like you deserve a place to relax and need a little privacy. I recommend that you try Felix Omar’s men’s grooming studio. First all he treats your a king. You sit back were he provides you with the best cut and shave.

Felix is one of the rudest people I’ve ever met. The haircut is average at best. But I’ve never been so uncomfortable in a chair in my life talking to this guy. And he bites his nails! Kinda gross being touched by these hands. I don’t think it’s worth the price at all.

Felix listened to my hopes and really helped me solidify my wants out of my haircut. I enjoyed the treatment he gave me and am happy with how my haircut turned out visually.
I intend on returning to Felix for my future haircuts.
A+ guy & Service.

Felix and I worked out our differences regarding him being out of touch — not responding. Apparently, a very close friend of his was in a tragic accident, and he was unable to respond as he normally would have.
I went back to Felix twice. The first time, he cut and colored my hair. Unfortunately, he let me leave his salon with blue hair. I was so bad, I had to come back the next morning (6:30) and he corrected it. He cut and colored it again and it was much better. Again, I like the way the cut was, but I don’t know if I will be back for color.

Best haircut I’ve ever had, I have difficult hair to cut usually I get pretty bad haircuts if I ever try to get something more stylish but not here. I didn’t know what I wanted I just sat down and said I need to look stylish and professional for an interview coming up.
I was blown away
5 stars I’ll be back soon

As far back as remember, I’ve always wanted to experience a professional hot shave, which, in my opinion is a lost art/​ritual that our grandpas used to do on a daily basis. And let’s face it, they were a much cooler generation that you millennials with your twitters, Unilocal and Pokémon’s. But back to my amazing journey and me: I’ve always wanted a hot shave but for some reason I never did it. WHEW! Now you know my background, on to the review
This last August my girlfriend, light of my life, gifted me with a visit to Felix Omar’s shop. I guess she heard me whining about wanted to try a shave and «said screw it, he’s never getting a threesome so I’ll get him this!»
She said he was chosen because she heard he was the best. He must be, I thought when I tried to book my appointment only see he had a pretty impressive waitlist.
So here we are in October. Now, I’m not saying the waitlist was that long, I had shaved the last time I wanted to visit Felix, and really wanted to get the whole experience.
SO October. I have a great big bushy beard! And I have booked the appointment. And let me tell you: the wait was worth it.
Felix is a great guy and puts you at ease right before bringing a straight razor to your throat. I learned he was schooled in this fine art by his grandfather in Tijuana and has been at this almost as long as I have been growing my sweet facial hair. That’s a long time, bro.
The Shave:
Words cannot do justice to the experience. It’s cool, relaxing and refreshing. I’d imagine going to Felix Omar’s is the male equivalent to the gals going to the Spa and getting facials.
I cannot remember the order or the terminology to what was done, but there were many a hot towel, relaxing shave oils and pleasant conversation. Felix is a cool dude and knows what he is doing. At least I think it was Felix — my eyes were covered by a hot towel. At the end of the session, I looked and felt 10 years younger without any facial hair or skin irritation.
Today, my face feels as smooth as a baby’s butt, and smells better too! I highly recommend going to pay Felix a visit. In a lost art, Felix is Michelangelo.

Felix is a man who takes pride in what he does and it clearly shows in his work and attitude. After reaching nearly a years worth of beard growth, I needed a specialist to shape it up and give me a hair cut to compliment my new facial coif.
Never have I been so thoroughly satisfied with the results. I have found my new barber and I couldn’t be happier.

Really took time to find a hairstyle for my specific hair and showed me how to style it. Been asked by a couple people if I did something different to my hair and that it looks so much better. Will definitely be going back and I would recommend anyone to try him out you won’t regret it.

If you are looking for the best men’s haircut in Los Angeles, look no further! I’ve been to some of the best rated salons in L.A. and nothing really compares. I drive from Venice to see him because I don’t trust anyone else. It’s hard to find someone who understands exactly what you want or what mood you are in at the time. Felix certainly has a gift.

Hands down best haircut I’ve ever had. A stylist with a true knack for understanding what you want and bringing it to life. Come see Felix ! You will not be disappointed!!!

Having just moved to the area I was in need of a good barber. A quick search online brought me to Felix Omar. I was intrigued by the description his site gave about his haircuts. A consultation? That was something I had never experienced before. I decided to check it out and I am so glad I did! Felix has a studio in the Studio Republic space on Ventura. When I arrived, Felix was very welcoming and friendly, immediately making me feel very comfortable. The small space is very private and personal which I thought was fantastic. I was also impressed by Felix’s knowledge of hair, individual texture, and how it should compliment his subject’s facial structure. He explained all these things to me and asked me what I wanted my hair to look like. With his knowledge and my input, Felix found the style I wanted. I was amazed at how meticulous he was using a razor blade on my hair to create a texture that I am very happy with. He then styled my hair using products he deemed to be the best for what I wanted. He even walked me through how to style it so I can maintain it at home. Overall I am very impressed with Felix and would recommend him to any guy in the LA area in need of a hairstyle that will make him happy. I felt very confident leaving his studio. I definitely found my new barber! I might try out his straight razor shave next time I go in. Will add to the review if I do.

The straight razor specialist. Also, got a Chrome Butterfly Razor set as a gift for my Father.

Felix is the best hands down. After I moved to Los Angeles it took me two years to find someone who could cut my hair. After i found Felix I’m not going anywhere else. I have thick hair that is about medium length. It’s not easy to cut because it is very wavy, but I’ve never had a bad hair cut with Felix. I can’t say enough great things. He is a great conversationist and the time goes quick. I could not give a better recommendation.

Best haircut I’ve ever gotten. Felix took the time to really give me a haircut that i wanted and fitted my face. Safe to say I’ll be going to Felix for all of my haircuts now on.

Five stars, well-​deserved! Felix has an eye for what would look good on a man, based on the man’s eyes, facial shape and other attributes. My beard was a mess, but not any longer. Now I know where to go for grooming.

I have been looking for a decent barber for awhile now and I am happy to say I have found my man. Not only is he decent he is excellent. The first time that I can remember my wife not complaining about the choppy uneven look to my haircut.
Where to begin. I went in for the haircut, shave and scalp massage.
First, the haircut. For the first time in my life the barber (Felix) took the time to explain to me how the shape of my face and the type of hair I have would influence the way a cut would look, and grow out. He then proceeded to bring up photos of a celebrity (George Clooney… Yes!!! I would return on this alone, whether or not it is true :-)) that had a similar face shape and showed pictures of how the haircuts worked together with the face shape. It turns out all of my previous barbers were doing the exact opposite of what Felix was proposing and I had been getting this done my entire life. All I can say is that this is the best barber cut that I have ever had. He even took the time at the end to show me how to comb/​style my hair on my on when not under professional supervision, which has always been a problem for me, and sure enough this morning everything worked out great.
Second, the shave. This was amazing. The hot towel prep the preshave was very soothing, relaxing and spa like. The first pass went smoothly, I could hear the hair being cut but felt nothing but the smooth gliding of metal over my skin. The follow up pass, I assume was mainly razor buffing, I am actually unsure, because it was done so smoothly at the time, I thought felix was rubbing in some kind of skin product with his fingers, until he actually finished, and I realized then that he had been shaving me the entire time. (maybe it really was his fingers, and he has honed his nails to a keen razor edge, if so it worked fabulously). Immediately following the shave were the cold towels, I have never done this at home, but may start. It felt great. Now, as a point of reference, I shave daily, doing a three pass shave with a DE razor, and get some really great shaves, but this was far beyond anything I can remember achieving and truly is baby butt smooth (I double checked with my 1 year old to make sure and yes it was).
Lastly the scalp massage. I have to be honest. After going through the first two procedures, I don’t really recall the massage, but do remember having an overall great experience.
I was actually hesitant in writing a review here for fear that his future schedule would not be able to accommodate me, but you must give Kudos where Kudos are due.
It is true that a haircut here will cost more than your corner barbershop, but in this case I really believe you get what you pay for. My wife will attest to this as I am no longer allowed to go back to my old barber.
To sum it up here, you will not go wrong visiting Felix Omar, whether haircut or shave, you will definitely have a true professional working on you.

FINALLY a barber that I trust and respect!
I’ve been bouncing around since last summer trying to find someone to cut my hair that took the time to understand my likes and dislikes when it comes to my haircuts.
The last guy took a pair of clippers to the sides and back of my head before I could get a world in. Here’s the deal though 1) I hate clipper cuts for myself because they always grow out ragged 2) I’ve been trying to grow some length into my hair and this was definitely NOT the direction I was going.
I didn’t get another hair cut for 2 months! For a dude that keeps his hair relatively short and neat, that’s a pretty long time! Towards the end of that two month period I looked a hot mess!
Super desperado I started to do some research and came upon Unilocal reviews for Felix Omar… there was lots of high praise for him and it seemed like he had a super solid background. I was still pretty skeptical but the hair situation was getting a little out of control.
It was super easy to schedule some time to see Felix via Schedulicity on his website. On the day of the appointment I got there about ten minutes early but Felix welcomed me into his suite at Salon Republic and took the time to do a full consultation and explain what he was going to do.
Felix is a great guy, good conversationalist, and an excellent barber. He takes his time with the clients, explains how to style your hair after the cut is over, and recommends products that you might want to consider.
I definitely think I’ll be getting a full-​service cut and shave the next time I have a special occasion!
I can’t recommend this guy enough… go see him!!!

5 stars is all Felix deserves. BEST cut ever. Best SHAVE ever. I now know what women go do the silly things they do– it feels good to pamper yourself.
I met Felix almost 4 years ago, my hair was getting long, and I wanted to continue growing it. I found the barber of my dreams. I donated my hair 18 months ago, and long or short, Felix is the only one that touches my scalp. When I’ve got the extra cash, and I’ve had a stressful week, I reserve the chair for a full service straight razor shave and a cut, runs about $ 99, so no, he’s not cheap; he is the best. It also takes a good 90 minutes for a full shave.
My last cut was just a couple weeks ago, and I’ll just say, everyone loved it.
I’m do for another soon.

I was lucky enough to get an amazing deal for a professional men’s shave by Felix Omar via Groupon: only $ 30 for a $ 65 shave!
I gave a friend the groupon as a gift since he’d never had a straight razor shave in his entire life. He called me immediately after the shave was finished and asked «Does Unilocal have a 6-​star option? That was the most amazing experience of my entire life!»
Omar has been shaving since he was only 13, trained by the very best and his technique shows it. Skilled, precise, soothing and luxurious, my friend described the experience as «the ultimate spa/​pampering experience for a guy.»
Omar took his time and my friend’s face was as smooth as a newborn baby’s butt. It’s insanely, amazingly soft. Omar is a true master and I’m happy to vouch for the quality of his work.
P. S. Apparently he’s also shaved George Clooney, Shia LaBeouf and many, many other celebs. If you’re a guy looking to treat yourself or a girl looking for the perfect pampering A-​list experience for your boy, scheduling an appointment with Felix is the way to go! Thanks so much Felix, you’re the best!
