Hialeah Barber Shop With $15 Walk-In Cuts and Cuban Barbers: Lazarito's Barbershop

Lazarito's Barbershop, at 1959 W 60th St in Hialeah, still charges $15 for a walk-in haircut and keeps its doors open from 8am to 8pm seven days a week. The shop bills itself as the home of the $15 haircut, and an appointment adds only $5 to that price. For anyone in the 33012 ZIP code typing barber shop near me between errands on West 49th Street, this long white room of mostly Cuban-born barbers is the neighborhood's default chair.

Lazaro Gamon, known to customers simply as Lazarito, owns the shop and gave it his nickname. The shop's own About page describes him as a fixture in the Hialeah community for decades, and it frames the business around one promise printed on the homepage: keeping spirits high and prices low. No opening year appears on the official site, so the best measure of its age comes from the customers who keep returning across generations.

One testimonial the shop publishes comes from Chasi Rodriguez, who writes that her dad has been coming for more than 15 years. Another, from Wilber Rivera, describes calling to book a cut for a one-year-old son and getting a slot the same day. Those two notes sum up the clientele the shop courts: fathers and sons who have used the same West 60th Street chairs for years, and young parents bringing toddlers in for a first clipper cut.

Gamon now runs two shops under the name. Lazarito's 1 is the room on West 60th Street covered here, and Lazarito's 2 operates further west on West 32nd Avenue with its own phone line. The site also says the team hosts free grooming days for underserved youth and donates to local causes, which fits a business that would rather fill chairs at $15 than chase premium pricing.

The Meet Our Team page lists ten barbers at Lazarito's 1, and their hometowns read like a map of Cuban and Latin American Miami. Pablo Acosta and Carlos Martin both come from Cerro in Havana, Alejandro Fleitas from Alamar, Raul Goddard from Las Tunas, and Alaide Moreno Gonzalez from Trinidad in Sancti Spiritus province. With eight of the ten born outside the United States, come ready to hear plenty of Spanish across the chairs.

Experience runs deep. Brian Padron lists 17 years behind the chair, Fleitas 16, and Steve Garcia, Carlos Martin and Moreno Gonzalez 15 each. The roster also includes Eduardo Jose Zelaya Ibarra from Managua, Matias Cifuentes from Santiago de Chile and Cristian Jimenez from Cojedes in Venezuela. Padron and Garcia are the two Hialeah natives on the list, a useful detail for anyone who wants to explain a fade in English.

Steve Garcia keeps a separate Booksy page under the name Steve Cuts at Lazaritos, listed at the same West 60th Street address. His menu there shows a regular haircut at $25 for 40 minutes and a haircut with beard at $30, and the page carried owner replies to reviews as recently as July 2026. That makes him the easiest barber in the room to book online to the minute.

The core of the menu is short. A haircut is $15 as a walk-in and $20 with an appointment, and the shop's services page groups the work into classic haircuts, grooming and facial treatments. Sharp fades and timeless trims are the house specialty according to that page, which suits a room where most chairs turn over a standard men's cut rather than long styling sessions.

For a full old-school visit, pair the cut with the hot towel and shave at $25, which brings a walk-in cut-and-shave visit to $40 in total. A beard trim and shave costs $10, Bigen beard coloring another $10, and an eyebrow trim $5. Small add-ons fill out the list: a hair wash with shampoo and conditioner for $10, a $10 facial, and $5 waxing for either ears or nose.

Color is where the bill climbs. A full head dye is priced by hair length on the menu and tops out at $120, highlights start at $60, and a fantasy hair dye is $60. Those services sit oddly in a shop built around quick turnover, so book them as appointments and leave the walk-in line to the clipper cuts, which is what the room is designed to move through quickly.

Walk-ins are the cheapest route, and arriving when the doors open at 8am puts you near the front of the line before the long bench along the mirror fills up. The shop publishes no deposit or cancellation policy on its website.

Paying the extra $5 for a booked slot is not worth it for flexible customers. One online reviewer complained of waiting 50 minutes despite having booked ahead, so a reservation here buys a place in the queue more than an exact start time. The exception is Garcia's Booksy calendar, which assigns each service a set length, 40 minutes for his regular cut, so his start times are easier to plan around than a slot taken by phone.

If the bench is full and you cannot wait, Braulito's Barbershop on West 23rd Street in Hialeah is a solid fallback. Master barber Braulio Vargas works the chair Tuesday through Saturday from 9am to 7pm, takes walk-ins, and finishes every service with a hot towel. His haircut is $30 and a haircut with beard is $40, so expect to pay double, but in a quieter one-barber room.

Breadman Miami, a Cuban bakery whose first Hialeah shop opened in 2014, sits a few minutes' walk from the shop on West 20th Avenue. The Infatuation singles out its corn and cheese croquetas and its Nutella pastelito, and a cafecito there is the natural way to kill time while your name works up the waiting list. Edible South Florida traces it to a husband-and-wife team who began by baking at home, and Time Out credits them with modernizing the classic pastelito.

Head the other way on West 60th Street and Russell Bucky Dent Park, named for the former Yankees shortstop, opens up with four lighted baseball and softball fields run by the City of Hialeah. It is an easy place to let restless kids burn off energy before or after their own turn in the chair. Westland Mall on West 49th Street sits less than a mile south for anyone who wants to turn a $15 haircut into a longer errand run.

Lazarito's Barbershop, at 1959 W 60th St, Hialeah, FL 33012, is the location to use for everything in this guide. The official site lists hours of 8am to 8pm seven days a week. The second shop, Lazarito's 2 on West 32nd Avenue, including Jesus Lastra from Guira de Melena with 35 years of experience.

Most clients drive. Apple Maps lists a parking lot at the shop, which matters because the nearest Metrorail stop, Palmetto station at the end of the Green Line, is about two and a half miles away. Inside, expect a long white room with a row of black hydraulic chairs draped in gold-patterned capes, ring lights at every station, wall-mounted televisions and a long black bench along the mirrored wall for the walk-in line.
