In The Zone Barber Shop

Only spot I’ll go to for a good cut. Friendly environment. Barbers always get you laughing and it’s a great location too.

Worst barbershop in the valley!!! They will cancel your appointment for somebody else within’ the last minute! This is the third time it has happened to me ever since I been here! They even had to turn away these customers who haven’t made an appointment and talk about them behind their backs! They will lied in their reviews about being the only best barbershop in the SFV. Don’t be fooled! Don’t go there!!!

I went yesterday to check this place out to support this barber shop. I sat for at least twenty minutes with nobody acknowledging me or offering me any service. Maybe great barbers but customer service leaves much to be desired.

I had an appointment today and was very pleased with the service. It’s a very professional and welcoming atmosphere. I just cut my Locs off and I wanted my mini afro shaped up so that it can grow evenly and OJ did just that. I’m very satisfied with his work and will definitely come back and will recommend this establishment to friends and family.

I moved to LA from Florida and searched for 2 years for a good shop to frequent… I found my spot. All the barbers are on point and a great atmosphere. I’m now a regular… I’ve been going for 4 cuts now and have a standing appointment for once a week. This is a superior shop… I personally use Troy but they are all great.

I’ve been coming to this barber shop for about 4 years now. All the barbers are great and they make you feel right at home when you come for a visit. Not expensive at all and you’re guaranteed a great haircut. With the combination of a great haircut and entertaining discussions, this place is by far the best barber shop that I have been to in the valley.

So i have been coming to this place for over 5 years back where the old spot was west coast chop shop. They have the greatest people, and even better hair cuts. The prices are pleasant and they take appointments. I got a job distant from in the zone so i stopped going for about a year and when i came back, they still treated me like family. I cannot recommend a specific barber because they are all great at what they do. The owner Kelvin is a good friend of mine and its all because of the hospitality that we have became so close. I promise you will not regret trying this place out. Much love in the zone.

I Love this shop, I’ve been going here for over 10 years now, it’s always a positive and funny vibe there, it’s a perfect man crave. Where you can escape your daily tasks and have a good laugh. Its very well diversified every type of person is here” Every Barber there is licensed and very skilled.
Just a FYI. I would call ahead of time and book an appointment with theses barbers. Their appointment book tends to fill up quickly when it gets closer to the end of the week, **Best to call on Tuesday-​Thursday** to book an appointment and also try not to show up unannounced (with no appointment they welcome walk in’s a 100% but you just might have to wait. I’m a get up and go person so appointments work for me) you might get turned away if you walk in on «Prime days, Fridays and Saturdays»
Jalon. Lorenzo. OJ and Sonny are the best Barbers in the valley hands down (this is the one of the reason why there you should call ahead of time) Go check them out for yourself and have confidence that you will walk out of that shop looking Fresh!

Top notch barbershop. The boys are very friendly and they always have me coming out looking fresh as can be. Been coming here for almost two years now. Jalon takes care of me but any of the boys are highly recommended by me. Only thing is that they are pretty busy so you usually need an appt. But they do walk-​ins as well. Best fade in the Valley bar none.

I moved from New Orleans and needed to find a barber of course, after going to a few places, I came across In The Zone. There’s not one thing that I can complain about, cool barbers, cool location and a clean shop.

This was my first time going to a barber. I’ve been wearing my hair short for almost a year and usually go to a salon. I noticed that a lot of girls with short hair have been going to barbers, so I decided to give it a try. I thought I would feel awkward since there were all guys in there, but it wasn’t bad at all. I got my hair cut by Lorenzo. He did an AMAZING job. He charged me waaay less than what I was paying at the salon and I like my hair a lot better! I will definitely be coming back!

A barber shop that don’t know how to cut a fade. I understand all the clientele is blacks but c’mon you put your business as a barber shop you gots to know how to cut a fade for a customer.

I give this shop a 5 star rating, because I walk out with a 5 star haircut. Great atmosphere and all the barbers are well experience and able to have you walking out feeling like a Million Bucks!!! I have been coming since I was 20years old and the same Barber «OJ» has cut my hair. Over the years we have develop not just a business relationship but also a friendship. I couldn’t let anyone Possibly cut my hair. OJ is the best Barber in the Valley, hands down 818 greatest barber with a pair of clippers in his hand. I definitely recommend coming down to IN THE ZONE Barber shop and getting a cut.

Been bringing my son here for a couple years. Lorenzo gives him a fresh taper fade every time… Conversations are hilarious… It’s like bein in a man cave/​comedy show and they keep it clean when young ears are around. If your a Laker fan this is your spot! With one barber who, like me is a Clipper fan, thats whats up Rich! Stop in, they wont disappoint!

I been coming to this shop since I was 15, I’m 24 now. I haven’t been getting my regular taper fade since I’ve been growing out my hair, but every now and then I stop by the shop to hang out cuz they’re real cool guys.
Turns out I went to high school and even had a French class with one of the barbers there now who happens to be the owners (Kelvin) brother.
These guys make you feel at home and like family regardless of your skin tone lol. I know of many guys who’ve been intimidated to come to a «black» barbershop but really, it doesn’t matter.
Aside from the fun atmosphere, they do a great job at cutting and styling hair. They have a pool table and tv to kill time while you’re waiting for a chair. I say make the appointment so you don’t have to wait. Also, be sure to mind your words in the shop, Kels doesn’t like foul talk especially when there are young ones running around. I think that’s cool.
Thanks Kels and Rich for all the years of great service and cuts. You’ve got in me, a customer for life.

it’s hard finding a good barber, I had a barber that cut my hair every month from 1997 – 2000. One day I found out he retired and wasn’t cutting hair anymore. So from 2000 – 2006 I cut my own hair until I found this little barbershop in Granada Hills. I haven’t gone anywhere else since.
Try to make an appointment if you plan on going in the afternoon. It gets really busy on Thursday and Friday afternoons. Sometimes it so busy your hair cut gets rushed and little mistakes can be noticed. They are closed on Sunday and Monday’s.
Rich and OJ do a really great job. I’m not sure about the other two barbers because I haven’t had them cut my hair. I’m not sure if Kelvin still cuts hair because the last time I went his barber chair was gone. It’s a great place for laughs, opinions on sports and stories and lessons about life.
I love this place, they are consistent and have reasonable prices. Best barbershop in the San Fernando Valley!
edit: I’ve gotten a haircut from each and every barber since my last review and all of them do a great job. Make an appointment! so you won’t be waiting too long.

Kelvin is my go to guy when I need to get my little brothers haircut or now my 3 year old son! Everyone is a master at their craft here. I never have seen anyone leaving with a bad hair cut. The guys have a good old time clowning around because everyone that goes there are pretty much regulars. The shop is like an escape for the men. They have all kinds of sports memorabilia on the walls. It should only be Laker stuff but you know someone always have to be going for the underdogs. They have a pool table so you can play a game while you wait or after you get your hair cut. It really is a nice atmosphere. The only thing that is missing is a stage because the conversations in there are pure comedy. You have to check this place out.

I had been letting this little old lady named Ramona cut my hair for the last 5 years, but her hands were getting as shaky as Michael J. Fox trying to do sign language and that wasn’t gonna fly. I asked my buddy where he got cut, since he gets cut twice a week, and he told me about In The Zone.
After looking in mirror after my cut, OJ ensured that I would not be going back to Ramona ever again. They aren’t afraid to take the time to do the job right, unlike the chain places which are all about getting the next person in the seat.
The conversations are hilarious too. If you are a football guy, this is your place. Just make sure that if you see an Asian dude with glasses getting his hair cut that you don’t talk shit about the Raiders. He will throat chop you and and pull your beating heart out of your chest for your ignorance.

could get a pretty nice taper here, and the conversations are hilarious!
