Esquire Barber Shop

For a true old-school cut, sit in one of the two seats at Victor “Vic” Barone’s shop. Born and raised in the neighborhood, Vic used to work at the very shop that he now owns. Check out the books on display, documenting the history of the neighborhood, or just ask Vic about one of the many black-and-white photographs of the Santa Monica pierhanging on the small shop’s walls, and he’ll give you the lowdown onSaMo’s storied past.
