What we do
Haircuts
01Scissor and clipper work shaped to how your hair actually grows, checked in the mirror before the cape comes off.
Fades & tapers
02Skin, low, mid, or high — blended by hand so the line disappears instead of stopping short.
Beard trims
03Shaped with shears and clippers, lines cleaned up so the beard holds its shape between visits.
Hot towel shaves
04A steamed towel, brush lather, and a straight razor, finished with a cold towel to close things back up.
Kids' cuts
05Cuts paced for a kid who's never sat in a barber chair before, with the mirror close enough to watch the whole thing.
Color & styling
06Styling and color work finished to hold, whether it's a special occasion or a change you've been meaning to make.
Not sure what to ask for? Call — we’ll talk it through.
Call to bookChecked before you're done
You look in the mirror at each stage of the cut, not just at the very end.
Cut for the regrowth
Every cut is shaped to still work in the weeks after you leave the chair, not just that day.
Told straight, not sold
If a style won't sit the way you want it to, we say so before we start cutting.
A shop built around the chair, not the clock
Esties' International runs on the basics done right: a real consultation before the cape goes on, clippers and shears used with intent, and a neckline finished clean. Nobody here is guessing at what looks good for the ten minutes you're sitting down — the goal is a cut that still works the morning you wash it yourself. Whether you're in for a quick fade or a full shave, the chair moves at your pace and the mirror gets checked before you're called done.
“Wife has been a customer for 3-4 years. Estie does excellent cuts and coloring. I became a customer a year ago. Best cuts I have had since moving to San Diego, maybe ever.”
“Been going to Estie for decades. He creates and keeps up with trends, is in demand in L.A., and does the best color. Ever.”
“Estie is probably the best hair dresser! Extremely talented so I travel from LAS VEGAS just for him.”

good to know
- Do I need to book ahead?
- Booking gets you a chair without waiting around, so it's the more reliable way to come in. Call and we can tell you honestly how the schedule looks for the day you have in mind.
- I don't know what to ask for — is that a problem?
- Not at all. Tell your barber what bothers you about your current cut and what your routine looks like day to day. Naming the actual style is our job, not yours.
- Do you cut kids' hair?
- Yes. We slow the pace down, keep the clippers quiet, and let them watch the whole process in the mirror so a first haircut doesn't feel rushed or unfamiliar.
