Old Reece is a local barber, seen at Old Reece's Hair & Facial Studio in Idlewood, Los Santos. He has known the Johnson family for a long time, evident by his memories of Carl Johnson's childhood and casual attitude toward Carl among some of the other things he says. He is suggested to have Alzheimer's disease, as Ryder mentions Old Reece having 'popped his membrane years ago' during Ryder.
He remembers Carl Johnson's childhood, when his mother brought him to the barber shop and comments on how grown-up he is. Old Reece also apparently knows Big Smoke, as he asks Carl to tell Big Smoke to get a cut.
Old Reece can be killed at any time while you are in his barber shop; he will respawn the next time when you enter the barber shop.
Reece was voiced by Bill Reese.
