Only Go Here if You're Looking for the Best Cut at the Most Reasonable Price...

So I just moved down here from San Francisco where I have had the same stylist, not barber, but stylist for the past 15 years. I don't let just anyone cut my hair (former male model, yes I'm really, really ridiculously good looking) but after a failed business venture I am destitute. Thank God for co-dependent girlfriends as mine loaned me (I swear I'll pay you back honey!) $22 for the entire cut to include a tip. After calling several places in the Sherman Oaks area I stumbled across Shears and after my cut am starting to think that my luck is going to change.. I can feel it. I stepped out in faith and found Hope (Her name is Esperanza in Spanish but she speaks English also so call her what you want). She has been styling hair for 33 years and let me tell you she ain't lyin. My haircut looks so good that I had to come to Citysearch and write this review. She thinned it out to perfection, gave me perfect lines, and textured like only a true pro could. Not only that but she was giving instruction to her up-and-coming shear genius trainee Edmond at the same time. Skills. So, if you're broke but have a big ego and need an expensive salon cut, you must go to Shears and ask for Esperanza (or Edmond in about 3 months, he'll have 2 years under his belt by then). You'll even have enough money left over to help me pay my girlfriend back....

• Pros: Excellent Stylish Haircut. Perfectly executed thinning, texturing and shaping. Very Friendly and Funny.
• Cons: Don't let the location fool you.
