The Echo Park barber shop, located at 1334 Echo Park Avenue, has been here since 1992. But back in the day, this place first existed in the Pico Union area. Cecilia and her family are from Mexico, and her father, Juan, moved north to work in the Bracero program. When Cecilia was younger, they lived upstairs from their Pico Union barber shop. They lost both their business and home to a blaze during the 1992 riots. They then moved to Alhambra to open a new shop, but that location was destroyed when a car crashed into the building. In 1992, they made their way to Echo Park Avenue, where they’ve been ever since. Later, his daughter, Cecilia Rios, took over when he retired due to health issues and has continued on the legacy. It’s a single-chair barber shop right across the street from the plaza, centralized right in Echo Park. People from the neighborhood have stayed consistent to this barber shop for years. But many people don’t just know them from Echo Park. They remember their history even back from Pico Union down to Echo Park. Memories of my dad walking into this barber shop when I was a young kid still linger in my head. He and my brother would come here to get their haircuts. During that time, Juan was still there. It still looks the same. It’s such a small little cozy spot. People would usually wait outside by the stairs or on the side. Well, it has been brought to my attention that Cecilia has told a few of her clients the place will be closing down because the owner does not want to renew their lease. The Landlords is a private individual (family) that reached out to me after I posted on IG and unfortunately there is internal issues between them and tenants, which has led to this. There is no confirmed time frame, and right now, Cecilia is unsure what she’s going to do, whether she’s going to become a mobile barber shop or what the situation is going to be. And that’s something you see often here with these small landmarks, legacy businesses, mom-and-pop shops, however you want to consider them. These places have been here for years, many threatened with not getting their lease renewed. Men go into other barber shops and get charged $60 plus. So imagine when affordability gets lost, especially in Echo Park, where barber shops now consist of extras. Cutting your hair is a basic part of your personal hygiene, but it becomes a luxury instead of a necessity. So when families can no longer afford those haircuts, what are they supposed to do? Like I said, you don’t find places that are just straight up what they are. When we see our places disappear and something new take over, it’s a reminder that change isn’t always for the best. It’s very sad seeing how gentrification has taken our restaurants, our parks, our blocks, and the places and people we’ve grown with. People who become part of our families within our communities. It just sucks seeing them lost. #fuckgentrification #EchoPark #LAbarbershops #LegacyBusinesses #LAhistory
