Josh

Josh has been at AANUKO Culver City since day one. The last of the original barbers still behind the chair, he's grown alongside the shop itself, and that history shows in how deeply he understands what AANUKO is about.

Sit down with Josh and you're getting more than a haircut. You're getting a conversation. He's a self-proclaimed anime and film nerd who will happily go deep on whatever you're watching, and that same energy carries into how he connects with every client. He's personable, easy to talk to, and genuinely interested in who's sitting in front of him. For Josh, a great appointment is one where the cut is sharp and the conversation was just as good.

His range covers everything from crisp crops and textured brushbacks to clean fades, but where Josh really separates himself is education. He takes product knowledge seriously and knows the full AANUKO lineup inside and out. He'll match you with the right products for your hair type and the style you're going for, then walk you through exactly how to use them. You're not leaving his chair without understanding how to recreate the look at home, because to Josh, a haircut that only looks good the day you got it isn't finished.
