”Padra has been cutting my hair for nearly 5 years now and I dare not visit another stylist. Every time I make an appointment with Padra, I know I’m in for a good “Hairapy” session because he provides incredible service the minute you walk through the door. His attention to detail is what keeps me coming back as he has taken time to understand my hair and what I like, as I am VERY particular about my hair. I feel like he treats each client as an individual person and appreciates their uniqueness, that’s why I’ve never felt like a “product” sitting in his chair, but a person. THANKS PADRA!! “ - Michael Sasaki @mikeisready
“Padra is the best. I’ve been getting haircuts from him since 2014 and since 2014 he’s the only person I have let cut my hair. Every single one of my friends who I have referred to Padra now only goes to him too! Alongside being friendly, kind, and a good listener, Padra has a unique eye and he takes into account how your hair interacts with your face, profile, and overall appearance. He might not tell you, but he has also cut some A-list celebrity’s hair. I always look forward to seeing him- he always asks what I would like to do for my cut, and I always tell him the same thing, “the Padra Special!” With years of experience, great equipment, and true skill, I give him my highest recommendation and recommend that you too ask for the Padra special- his unique approach to creating a sharper you.” - Dustin Miller @imdustinthewind
“Padra has been my go-to hairstylist ever since I moved to LA 10 years ago. Finding a good stylist in a new city can be difficult but he’s the real f**king deal!! His refinement and attention to detail are unparalleled. He’s professional, courteous, and always there when I need him. I couldn’t recommend Padra more! Love you Padra!” - Adam Fabac @realtor_partner_friend
“Padra has been cutting my hair for 9 years and I refuse to go anywhere else! He’s a technical genius who gets my hair perfect every time, and who patiently let’s me keep honing and tweaking little sections until I’m 100% satisfied. He’s also a warm and wonderful person who always makes me feel welcome, and who I’m always excited to chat and catch up with. His home studio is cozy and serene, and I always know I’m going to look great and feel great after a visit!” - Thomas Meaney @thomasmeaney1
“I’ve been going exclusively to Padra for all my hair needs for the past eight years. His expertise, cozy and inviting space, personable demeanor and great sense of humor all make for the best damn haircut experience a guy could ask for.” - Nick Cullen @nick.cullen
“Padra has been my hairstylist for years. He has a relaxed vibe, plays great music and is most importantly talented at what he does. Over the years we’ve tried different styles and he has done quality work with each and every one. Padra works with my schedule and makes getting a haircut convenient and enjoyable.” - Phillip Pruitt @phillippriuitt
“I’ve been seeing Padra for my very specific Sicilian mop literally since he was in barber school. There’s very few people I trust with my hair other than him — Also, I’ll say he's a rare find because he truly cares about you as a person, your hair, and how you feel about your hair. A one of a kind stylist and amazing friend that I highly suggest for anyone.” - Phillip Agrusa
"I've been getting my hair cut by Padra since Mach 2018 and I'll never go to another barber again. Padra has perfected the mens haircut experience and it's great. I text him when I feel like it's time to get a cut, he texts me back asking what time works for me, then I'm usually in there within an hour. It's perfect. When it comes to haircuts and knowing how much length to take off, I have no clue. I just know what I like and what I don't like and Padra is great to work with. He works with you and takes the time to get your hair exactly how you like it. Not to mention great conversation and free beer. I have recommended Padra to all my friends and will continue to do so. He's a great guy and makes getting your haircut as easy and as fun as it should be. In a place such as Los Angeles, it is refreshing to get my hair cut by a barber that's is professional and affordable. He's far from superficial, but knows the hair trends that keep me feeling fresh and sophisticated." - Joe Fortier @joe.4ta
“Padra is the only person who has cut my hair for nearly seven years now and if I have my way, he’ll be the only one for the rest of my life. He knows exactly how to make me look my best, whether it’s sticking to my usual style or trying something new.” - Jonathan Gilbert @theofficialjmg
“If I were to describe attributes ideal for me in a haircutter/stylist, Padra is it.” - Tom Madigan @temadigan
“It’s rare to find someone in LA that takes the time to make sure everything is just the way you want it. It’s also rare to find someone that you can call a friend after just one cut. Padra is both of those things. I have been going to Padra for over five years now. I met him when he was cutting hair just around the corner from my house and even though I moved much farther away, I still happily brave cross-city traffic once a month for a haircut I know is going to be great. I know it’s always going to be a relaxing experience and that Padra will take his time to make sure I have the cut I want. In eight years, I can honestly say, I’ve never left being anything but happy with my hair! It’s a low-key experience, you’ll swear was cut by a much fussier person charging four times the price.” - Alex Malt @alexmalt
“I’ve been going to Padra for about 6 years now. I might be traveling for months on end with my hair getting shaggy and I will wait to get back to LA to get Padra to cut my hair. Not only is Padra excellent at cutting hair but he’s just generally a good person that I enjoy hanging out with. He’s always extremely accommodating, really wants you to be satisfied with the service and isn’t afraid to give you honest feedback about your style choice should you ask - which i find invaluable.” - Spencer Creigh @spencercreigh
“I’ve been to numerous barber’s in my 10 years in LA, Padra is absolutely the best. His attention to detail, positive vibe and fair price legitimately makes him second to none. I highly recommend him.” - Andrew Lunt @holistikid
“Padra has been cutting my hair for seven years and I’ve been happy with every cut. I moved to San Diego recently and I still drive up to LA to get a haircut because no one else cuts and styles my hair like him. He listens to his clients and gives them what they want. He’s very well-rounded, from clippers to shears, he can do it all. When I’ve had my hair cut by other stylists the haircut doesn’t look good after a week. When Padra cuts and styles my hair it looks great for 2-3, someimtes 4 weeks. He’s passionate about his craft and it shows.” - Nick Roberts @trigger.nick
There are hairstylists, and there’s Padra….he is a true master. He can look at any picture you show him, analyze and nail it. He listens, airs on the side of caution and ensures I always leave with exactly what I have asked for. He also cuts my 4 year old’s hair and he love it!! - Clayton Barnes @sergeantbarnes
