Gianni

Show more

Gianni sees hair before he sees anything else. The moment a client sits down in his chair at AANUKO Culver City, something clicks and the rest of the world goes quiet. He locks in with a focus that borders on obsessive, examining every angle, every line, every detail with the kind of intensity most people reserve for things far more serious than a haircut. But that's exactly why the results look the way they do.

His reputation as the brushback king is well earned. Gianni has turned what most barbers treat as a single style into an entire discipline, delivering variations you didn't know existed, each one executed with a technical precision that holds up under any level of scrutiny. But brushbacks aren't the whole picture. That same meticulous eye applies to everything he cuts: fades, scissor work, mid-length shapes, textured styles. Nothing leaves his chair until it's finished to his standard, and his standard doesn't have a lot of room for "good enough."

Where Gianni really closes the gap is styling. He spends real time on the finish, treating it as an extension of the cut rather than an afterthought. The result is often something the client didn't even know their hair could do. Clean, detailed, and built with a level of care that you can feel from start to finish, all delivered with a laid-back presence that makes the precision feel effortless.

About Gianni

Came out to Los Angeles from New Jersey and booked an appointment with Gianni, best decision I could've made. My hair was completely messed up from a previous barber and my beard was way overgrown, so I walked in needing a serious reset. Gianni absolutely delivered. He cleaned everything up and gave me a haircut that actually fits the shape of my head perfectly, and the beard work was just as dialed in. I walked out of there feeling like one of those dogs you see before and after a full grooming, completely transformed. Felt like a million bucks. If you're in LA, go see Gianni. No brainer.

My go-to stylist, Gianni, is in a league of his own. He embodies the idea of never settling for a bad haircut. What truly sets him apart is his incredible attention to the smallest details and his genuine commitment to listening and understanding exactly what you want. He invests so much effort into ensuring you leave feeling not just satisfied, but absolutely thrilled. My first appointment with Gianni was just a one-off, but his exceptional skill and service have made me a loyal client. Now, I happily travel all the way from Northern California just to experience his artistry.

Gianni is an absolute magician! After years of thinking my haircuts were 'good enough,' I finally decided to try House of AANUKO and I'm so glad I did. Gianni is a true master of his craft and elevated my hair on every level. As a man with long, curly hair that used to require mountains of product just to look presentable, I'm amazed that I can now style it at its best with just some water and leave-in conditioner. The difference is night and day.
