You can get a stylish 'do, the hottest color, or just find out what's going on in town at Shorty's Barber Shop. A men's regular haircut is only $20, which is about the same price as the big haircut chains, but the industrial style ambiance (graffiti-covered walls, pulsating music, and tattooed and pierced staff) adds so much more to the value of your haircut. At that price, you can go every few weeks and maintain the perfect look. Shorty's has won three WeHo Awards, been listed in the "Best of LA" guide from LA Weekly, written up in CARGO Magazine, and feature worldwide on CNN. The…

With its retro sign and candy stripe barber pole, this barbershop might look like an all-American throwback to the '50s, but step inside and it becomes obvious that this chop shop is far more than just a stroll down nostalgia lane. Reimagining the traditional barbershop from a simple all-boys club to a rock-and-roll unisex experience, the energetic, poster-plastered space is where stylists do everything from basic cuts and coloring to relaxing and other "fancier" treatments. As the salon's motto says: "Save the drama for your mama--come to Shorty's for the low drama/high style experience."

FINALLY got a good haircut!
by DaveHaar at Citysearch
I've lived in LA for just over a year and I've yet to find a good spot to get a haircut. I finally went to Shorty's and got a great haircut from a great stylist. The atmosphere is very cool and coming to Shorty's is more of an experience rather than just getting a haircut.
- Pros: Atmosphere and friendliness of staff.

Mixed Reviews, but depends on Who Cuts Your Hair
by ljnyc70 at Citysearch
I've seen some people post on here that they have no idea how this place could get so many good reviews.
I have mixed reviews myself, but it really depends on who cuts your hair.
There are two heavy-set girls that work at Shorty's. I don't know what their names are, but one can only be described as looking like Mimi from the Drew Carey Show (way too much makeup, and yes, I know I'm now going to hell for that comment!).
I have had the unfortunate luck to have had my haircut by "Mimi". She cuts hair faster than anyone in the place, and I understand now how she does it. It was the worst butcher cut I've ever had in my life. Before I found Dimas and Elvis, I would refuse to have my haircut by her, and actually walked out and acted like I had an urgent call when I found out I was next on the list and she called for me.
Then I found Dimas. He's really good, super funny, an all-around good guy. I ask for him every time now, and will leave if he's not working (because I don't ever want to get stuck with Mimi again).
I've also had Elvis cut my hair a few times, and although he cut it a bit shorter than I wanted once, it always looked good.
- Pros: One of the Best Cuts I've Received (Dimas or Elvis)
- Cons: THE WORST Haircut I've Ever Received

Keeping It Simple Never Looked So Good
by takashisan9 at Citysearch
My barber at Shortys (calming Gilbert) has saved me from myself, and my misguided ideas of what my hair should be doing…. or is it more like what my hair shouldn’t be doing? In any case I was a lost soul that had never quite been the master of my own hairstyle. Gilbert just broke it down for me in a real simple manner, never making it more complicated than it needed to be. As he said- “don’t over think it”. He gave me a clean, classic haircut that has a few different easy styling options. I feel like I’ve got this hair thing down now- thank you Gilbert.
