Double Edge Barber Parlor

I was referred by a close friend of mine who I asked just yesterday about any good barber suggestions. He right away told me to check out this place Double Edge Barbershop in Whittier ca. He did say tho to call first since they go off of appointment schedules which I’m cool with. They also have walk ins for anyone in the neighborhood looking for a cut. So I called and booked it with James Vargas who he said he recommends to go to which my friend also gets his fresh cuts from aswell. Well hey let me tell you guys he’s real professional and also gets down with the business! I’ll be back again! Thanks James!

I’ve been going to Jay for a while now, only barber who knows how to cut my hair right! I commute all the way from Irvine to get my hair done by Jay. Great cut, friendly guy, I recommend him to everyone!

This barber parlor is and always will be my favorite. Definitely a location to feel at home at. Most local barbers are in a fad of a younger scene with the lack of respect and hospitality. This barber steers from the norm and provides nothing but outstanding service and care for their clients. They listen to you and cut your hair exactly how you want it. And they make suggestions based on what you are trying to do.
Today Jay said something that really stood out to me. «Confidence. As a barber, you need to be as confident, if not more confident, than the person that gets up every morning to comb their hair and put on a suit. You need to be confident that you provided a service not only by cutting a great haircut, but by showing a common respect for one another.»
They have earned my business for life.

I have been coming here for over three years now and am still as happy as I was with the service of when I first came. The opportunity to make an appointment and shoot the breeze with a great barber a great experience that is hard to come by now a days. As in the past, I feel that it is our due diligence as consumers to update whenever we head back to the same locations. There is a new barber alongside James and Danny who is now taking walk in’s which is a perk for people looking to squeeze in a cut on the run or last minute. I’m assuming he will be taking appointments as well as time goes on. All in all if you’re looking for a great cut in Whittier and are constantly on the run like myself, give them a call and get in and get on with your day.

James is amazing! Been coming here since day 1 and he never fails me. I bring my 8 and 5 year old here and I always get so many compliments on their fresh cuts. He is very busy and books quickly, so plan ahead!

The best barber shop around!!!
This review has been long over do. I have been coming to Double Edge for about 2 ½ years and since the first cut I have only had amazing service by James and his staff. I work a lot so the ability to book a time and walk into an open chair is worth so much to me. On top of that I spent about a year prior to finding Double Edge trying out all the local barbers and could not find one that could cut hair and deliver customer service.
If you want a great cut, that will be consistent in quality then this is the place for you. The atmosphere is great, people are amazing, James and everyone at Double Edge brings back the old school idea of keeping it simple and respecting their customers.

I have been getting hair cuts here for the past 2 years. I highly recommend this barber shop. James is an old school barber who knows the trade well and enjoys what he does. Give this place a chance and see for yourself. A good tip call a head of time and schedule an appointment. It is convenient and saves you time.

I went in late this evening to try to get a quick haircut. They had a large chalkboard sign out front that says they welcome walk-​ins. Once I walked in though, they said I need an appointment and they’re already booked for the evening. Change your sign, you don’t welcome walk-​ins. I found another barber close by and got what I needed done without an appointment.

While i was get my haircut here, i noticed that the barbers are focused on other things. Like going to the store while someone is in his chair. My barber stops and goes talk to his girlfriend for like 10 to 15mins. Also he went to high on my fade. To me they aren’t good at doing fades

Cool small spot. Barber was really good! Hooked it up.

Best barber shop I’ve ever been to James and Danny are realist guys I’ve ever meet. The shop has an old school feel to it with a great atmosphere.

I had been looking for a reliable barber shop for some time now, in the Whittier area. After reading some reviews here on Unilocal,I called Double Edge Barber Parlor and spoke to Jay. I was able to get an early appointment the next day (lucky). It was my first time getting a haircut here and my first time making a haircut appointment. The outcome was spectacular! I got an awesome haircut, exactly what I wanted. Making an appointment made total sense! I got there, went in, got my haircut and got out. It was so fast that I didn’t even have time to check my phone or play games on it. I will definitely be making my appointments here from now on. Thanks Jay, your the best.

Double Edge Barber Shop,
Following my last appointment, I realized James has been cutting my hair for a little over one year now. By far, this has been the best barber in town with outstanding service. I noticed one person in particular gave Double Edge Barber Shop a one star rating on Unilocal.This guy does not have a clue what he’s talking about. How do you go about rating a business 1 star when you haven’t even given them a chance to serve you? To me, this rating has no standing.
Anyway, I can personally tell you James and Danny conduct themselves in a professional manner and take extreme pride in their trade. They maintain a clean barber shop and their pricing is reasonable for the service a customer receives. I feel every man requires a reliable and skilled barber to ensure one gets a consistent and clean haircut with every visit. I can say that James and Danny fit that mold and produce excellent results each time — they are supremely confident in what they do.
Both James and Danny sit you down on the chair and ask customers the right questions and listen to the customer’s requests. They also make suggestions to customers and help guide them to achieve a top quality haircut. That there is a sign of a good barber. Moreover, James and Danny always follow up with customers and ask for feedback to ensure they leave the shop satisfied.
Not only does this barber shop cut hair, they also have shaving services too. They do take walk in customers, but I suggest making an appointment in advance. These solid guys are so good at what they do, more often than not they are booked. That is a good sign as it shows they get repeat customers. Repeat customers means happy and satisfied customers. Hey, one star rating guy, Double Edge Barbers must be doing something right don’t you think? Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that out.
Give these guys a chance. You won’t be disappointed. I highly recommend them. I go once a week and book my appointments one month in advance. For me, making appointments for a haircut beats having to wait at a barber shop for two hours. With Double Edge Barbers, I walk in at my set appointment time and get taken care of right away. Supreme service.
Thanks for your professionalism and service fellas. Keep up the good work and thanks for keeping me clean.
Much respect,
Art

Only two Barbers. Cash only, No walk-​ins. It’s by appointment only. I don’t do appointments!

My husband and son are loyal customers! They had been going somewhere else for years but the haircuts were always inconsistent, with James and Danny I know my men are always looking sharp…

Been to Tip Top, Uptown Barbers, Telegraph Barbers, this place takes all of them out. Worth the money, and this place gave me one of the best cuts I’ve ever received. They pay attention to detail here and make sure you get exactly what you’re looking for. They ask the right questions to make sure and they take no short cuts. This place deserves the 5 stars without a doubt. Been to other places where they half ass the cut, take my money, and still expect a tip. Got my cut by Danny, thanks man! Found my new shop!

My fiancée needed a haircut and asked me to look for a barber — and the rave reviews for this place were totally justified. Great atmosphere, good music playing, and the barbers here are friendly and really know their business. They really take their time with their work and pay attention to detail. I’m pretty sure this will be his regular barber shop from now on.

Found this place on Unilocal and read all the reviews. I was looking for a haircut after work but I called them and they were free so I ended up getting my haircut for lunch. I met the barber Danny. he kept showing me every step of the haircut to see if it was to my liking. The price was 20 bucks which I thought was a little steep considering the area. But I was satisfied so I wouldn’t mind paying.

I moved to the area in 2009, and since then I have been looking for a barber who is familiar with the attention to detail instilled in me in the Marine Corps. Needless to say my search is over! I have 100% trust in James as he gave my four month old son his first haircut, which is not to be taken lightly considering my infant son’s bobble-​head and he only used scissors for the task. James assured me that he would cut himself before he cut my son. He also commemorated the event by issuing him his official «First Haircut Certificate.» At the end of the day I have solidified a father-​son bond, and James has an appointment booked every other Wednesday at 9 in the morning for as long as I have hair for him to cut.
Professional, Passionate, Precise. I found a barber for life…

I’ve been meaning to review James’ shop for a while now, since he deserves any and all the attention possible on earth, ever!
After moving from Whittier to Echo Park I was no longer cartwheeling distance to Tip Top Barbershop. So what did I do? Made the same mistake my mother made when she settled for less upon meeting my father.
I found some random barber shack near my new place, got the crappiest hair cut that left me looking like aliens had mistaken the top of my head for a corn field.
But I work in Montebello so I did a search for barbers around the area, and like an angel coming down from heaven, into cyberspace, and outputting from a computer screen; Double Edge showed itself to me.
My first visit did not go too well, but it was the start of a wonderful relationship (Think Desmond and Penny):
I made an appt to be seen that same day on my lunch break. When I got there, James was still cutting some dude’s hair so I patiently sat myself down and waited, stared at the cool records on the wall, and pretended to know what I was looking at. It was eventually closing in on an hr and I needed to go back to the coal mines. He finished with the guy, but I told him there wasn’t enough time and that I would just get it some other day. I honestly did not plan on returning, but he offered me a free haircut card (9 cuts and your 10^th is free) as if I had had the 9 cuts!
I was immediately won over by his kind gesture, and he didn’t seem bitter about it, just very honest in his apology! Which was awesome.
When I came to get the free cut he treated me great and apologized again for what had happened. Apparently the guy had shown up late to his appt so it threw his schedule off.
I’m not much of a brat when it comes to services so I totally understood. I ended up loving my new do, and have since kept going back. Just this last time I wanted to try something new, and with his suggestions it turned out perfect!
James really knows what he’s doing, and has a positive attitude on everything so every visit is a pleasure.
Plus I like that I can get my haircut at 7AM to impress the decrepit old ladies at work.
He recently got a second barber’s chair put in which will be good since he is always completely booked.
It is pretty much by appointment only, but given the time he’ll take walk-​ins if no one’s in there.
But don’t be a dick, just make the appointment.
(Btdubz: This was my least sarcastic review, bc I want people to take it seriously!)
So read it, and don’t you even consider laughing!
Oh yeah, and I’m also the duke here.
