Booking and Appointments
How the calendar works and what to do if plans change.
How do I book online?
Scroll to the booking calendar at the bottom of any page. Choose your service, pick a barber, and select an open time. Enter your name and contact details, and you'll get a confirmation. The whole thing takes about a minute.
Can I change or cancel my appointment?
Yes. Use the link in your booking confirmation to reschedule or cancel, or call the shop at (323) 474-5467. Please give us as much notice as you can so another customer has a chance to take the chair.
How far ahead should I book?
A few days ahead is plenty for most weekday times. Saturdays and after-work slots go first, so book those earlier in the week. If you want a 7 AM to 8 AM appointment, it must be booked at least 12 hours in advance.
What if I am running late?
Call the shop as soon as you know. If we can still fit your full service in, we will. If the delay cuts into the next customer's time, we'll help you find the next open slot that day or another day.
Prices and Timing
What things cost and how long to plan for.
Do walk-ins pay a different price?
No. Walk-in and appointment prices are exactly the same. A men's haircut is $40 either way. The only difference is that an appointment guarantees your time, while a walk-in may have a short wait on busy days like Saturday.
Do kids and seniors get a lower price?
Yes. Haircuts for kids 12 and under and for seniors are $30 instead of $40. Both get the same 45-minute appointment as a regular haircut, so the lower price never means a quicker or lesser cut. Just pick the right service when you book.
How long should I plan to be at the shop?
A haircut is booked for 45 minutes, a haircut with a beard trim for an hour, a beard trim or shave for 30 minutes, and a lineup for 20. If you're walking in, allow extra time in case there's a wait.
What is the cheapest way to keep my haircut fresh?
A $20 lineup between full haircuts. It takes about 20 minutes and sharpens the hairline, temples, and neckline. Many customers alternate, getting a full cut one visit and a lineup the next, to stay sharp for less money over the month.
Haircuts and Hair Types
What we cut and who we cut it for.
Can your barbers cut curly or textured hair?
Yes. Our barbers work with every hair type, including tight curls, waves, and thick or coarse hair. Curly hair is cut with its shape in mind so it sits right when it dries. Let us know your hair type when you book.
Do you cut women's hair?
We cut shorter styles for women and girls, and one of our Google reviews describes exactly that going well. For long layered cuts or color, a salon is the better choice. If you're not sure where your style falls, give us a call.
What if I do not know what haircut to ask for?
That's fine, and it happens all the time. Tell your barber how much time you spend on your hair and what you don't like about it now. We'll suggest a couple of styles that suit your face and hair.
Do you trim eyebrows?
Yes. Eyebrow trimming is something customers ask for often, usually along with a haircut. It's a quick tidy-up with a comb and shears or trimmers. Just mention it when you sit down and we'll take care of it.
About the Shop
Who we are and what to expect when you visit.
Who owns Ocean Park Barbershop?
The shop is owned by barber David Reyes. Many of his clients have followed him for years and came with him when he opened his own shop. David still cuts hair here, alongside a small team of barbers.
Is the shop a good place to bring kids?
Yes. Google lists the shop as good for kids, and parents in our reviews say the same. Our barbers are patient, the shop is clean, and there is a restroom on site. Kids 12 and under are $30.
What is the BusinessRate award?
In 2026, BusinessRate named Ocean Park Barbershop a Top 3 barber shop in Santa Monica. The award is based on Google reviews, so it comes straight from our customers. We're proud of it and thankful to everyone who left a review.
Are you on Instagram?
Yes. Follow @ocean_park_barbershop to see recent cuts and what's happening at the shop. It's a good place to find style ideas before your next visit. You can also find us on Google Maps and Yelp, where you are welcome to leave a review.
