FRED'S BARBER SHOP

Torrance, California
(310) 323-4578

Discovered an authentic early 1960's era barbershop in Los Angeles.
Inside Fred's Barber Shop, you'll discover that this barber shop
is your typical 1960's era barber shop, red and white barber chairs
with ashtrays, a chrome lather machine, vintage hair tonic bottles on
the shelves, Brylcream cardboard ads in the windows, the smell
of bay rum and talc powder, Play Boy mags on the rack, a shiny hand massage
machine, a lighted wall clock, the sound of jazz and customers talking about
sports and politics, a hot lather shave and free beer for the loyal customers

Good tip, I'll have to check it out some time.

When in Los Angeles I get my pompadour trimmed at Andy's Barber Shop in Silver Lake (4639 Hollywood Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90027 (323) 667-9690), just down the street from the Tiki-Ti and Wacko/Soap Plant. Tell Todd (last chair) that The Jab sent ya.

Yes, Todd is the man. He was my personal coiffure during my Los Angeles days. A fine fellow who offers up the full white-jacketed, Playboy Magazined, hot-shaved service. And the coolest part... theJab gets his haircut there! Not bad company at all.

Good tips fellas.
Can anyone recommend a good, old-school barber somewhere on the Peninsula (SF Bay Area). I've got a guy here in Belmont and another in San Carlos who do a pretty good job but I can't seem to get a good ol' chop.
Aloha,

Anyone heard of Tiki Barbers in Downey,CA?

Isn't this tiki barber?

The "Tiki Barber" my have been in the Tahitian Village complex your address is only a few lower than the coffee shop? They did have a bunch of stores running along the Lakewood side and it was a city block long, as I recall one of the shops was a beauty parlor and another a liquor store.
Cool find maybe you should put a link in the Tahitian Village thread.
