What People Are Saying About Rudy's Barbershop

The Scene – One peek inside and the term "greaser" comes to mind. This industrial-strength garage has been cleverly converted into a stylish barbershop. Rudy's is an original in the trim, style and cut market. The high ceilings and low-impact approach of the layout combine to create a comfortable environment that can be enjoyed while waiting for a turn in one of the many chairs. Once seated, your coif will be clipped as you take in the collage of pop culture posters that cover the walls. – – The Goods – The services are clearly painted or posted on the wall, both…

They know hair

by ktowngamer

So I was looking to change barber shops for sometime. I did my online research and found Rudy's close to my home which I liked. But when I started reading reviews from other sites they were mostly negative. I thought how bad could it be. One reviewer talked about get charge for a shampoo with his hair cut. It must have been the first time he had received a hair cut in public. Yes they did offer the shampoo, but I turned it down cause my hair was fresh and clean already. I took pictures and talked to the stylist. I have had two different people cut my hair there. They both did a good job and made suggestions and the end result I was happy with. The barber shop can always be a little nerve wrecking, Rudy's is no different. Great location and trained stylist. Shouldn't expect more.

  • Pros: great place. Nice staff
  • Cons: push the add on sales.

Depends on stylist not Rudy's! Tipton is the Man!

by Yeahman

I have been going to Rudy's Silverlake for 2 years now and have had many stylist do my hair. Some are good and some are alright. Two months ago I started going to Tipton, He is awesome! the best haircut I have ever had! He has over 20 years experience and it shows. So you see , it is not about Rudy's, it is about the person you go to. Rudy's,, you are lucky to have such a great stylist doing Great haircuts for such a cheap price, people take advantage and get a great haircut from a great artist.

It's alway an interesting experience, that's for sure.

by mompnc

It's usually a decent cut, but service is poor and comes with a lot of attitude. It's irritating since they are cutting hair, not performing brain surgery. One stylist told me that she hated it there. Another tried to overcharge me. The overcharger first told me that the $5 shampoo was "manditory." She backed off when I told her that I wanted that confirmed by management. She then tried to charge me for a long cut instead of the short cut, which is what I had. Still, I've never had to wait more than 15 minutes and the cuts I've received are good to very good.

  • Pros: conveinent, inexpensive
  • Cons: rude staff, hard sell on products

RIP OFF!

by goodfella80

I didn't have a hair over 3 inches on my head and somehow I walked out $32 in the hole after tip. I don't care how nice you are, but don't toss me in a chair and start shampooing because "I had product in my hair." Just buzz and trim and be done with it. I was on my way to the gym for crying out loud. I assumed the cut would cost $15, instead it was double. My drunken uncle could cut my hair just as well.... I'm an athlete, not a movie star. Treat me like one.

  • Pros: the people were nice, but I could honestly care less
  • Cons: cost, efficiency, SCAM!
