I come here often to get my hair colored and my experience is always positive. The staff is helpful, accommodating and friendly - and they always play music that I love (subjective, I know). Always fun and good vibes here, and the ladies do a good job coloring my hair -- all for a VERY reasonable price. Thank you, Western Barber Institute! You have a client for life =).

Been coming here for a while now and you can't beat the price! $5 haircuts all day everyday! The front desk is always there right reset you and make sure you get cut in the order you came in! Most of the students do a great job and some you have a little patience with becuase they do take long sometimes but always do a great job. I like that the instructor is always walking around checking in on everyone and they ask exactly what it is that I want! Great training for when they get to the actual shop. The music is always good and keep a lively environment! Always record to people to come here if they want a great cut at a great price!

Overall

The place is very upbeat with music playing as I walked in. There is a counter at the entrance where I had to sign In and paid a fee of $5. I was greeted with a smile as the soon to be licensed Barber Christian presented himself and escorted me to my seat. He asked for my name and paid attention to detail as I explained how I wanted my hair. He took his time and with precision he began to cut my hair. He started small talk and continually assured me that he had paid attention to how I wanted my hair to look like. I could definitely tell that he cared and I appreciate the fact that he did an amazing job. No instructor needed.
He is truly on his way to becoming a master barber. Since he is one his way out he did charge $20, but it was well worth it. I am definitely coming back. Did I mention the HOT TOWEL with the the massage?!

I also noticed the barber next to me, having a great conversation with his client. Surprising, it was his first time meeting the guy. His name is Jonathan I add his picture at the end just for the review.

Note: some students do not charge, all you have to do is pay the $5 entrance fee.

I coordinate homeless outreach services for the San Fernando valley. WBI consistently comes through to every one of our connect days giving out free haircuts to all the participants that attend and they always do a good job. The team always does a great job with the cut and always treats the participants with empathy and respect. I wanna give a big thanks to the whole team who always do their best to support the community.
