My 2.5-year-old fell asleep in the car right as we got to the beach. I'd been overdue for a trim,…read moreso with him taking his much needed nap I looked for something nearby and found Calico just 3 minutes away. Walked in, got accepted as a walk-in, and had a cut with David, great guy. I've been doing my own cuts for years, so it was nice to actually sit in a chair again. Fyi the shop is a little hidden, although I found that part kind of fun, a little exploration in a town I didn't know was nice for a change. It's behind the Duffy rental dock. If you're on Main Street, pull in and keep going toward the dock, there's parking there. Inside, it's quiet and chill. Oscar, the owner, was great to talk to. The place overall had very welcoming vibes, not standoffish or "too cool". A mom was leaving with her two boys as I walked in. I'd bring my son here for a haircut for sure, which might be soon. And as my wife said after the cut, "It looks really good, one of the best haircuts you've had."

I've been coming here for a while now, and every visit has been a great experience. The shop is…read moreclean, welcoming, and has a relaxed atmosphere. Most importantly, the haircut is always on point. They take their time, pay attention to the details, and make sure you leave looking your best. Thanks David!

We had a great barber who gave my boyfriend the most relaxing beard trim and hot towel treatment. Ty Ray! Payment: CASH ONLY!!! You reserve your service and barber online by booking. Make sure to look at the full price of the service especially if you're using your phone (it might not know). It's a $10 deposit you can use Apple Pay or credit/debit online for the booking. You pay the rest in cash at the shop. This goes towards the full price of the service. There is no tipping option on the online booking. I believe each barber takes their own method of payment for tip (Apple Pay, Venmo, etc)

My husband has been getting his haircut by Craig for years, so when it was time for our oldest…read moreson's first haircut, we knew without a doubt that Craig was the only person for the job. The boys always get so many compliments on how sharp their cuts look. Craig is so great with kids that my son genuinely loves coming here--he actually picked getting a haircut over a trip to Disneyland once! We live in North OC, but we will happily make the drive down to Costa Mesa because Craig is simply that good.

Well that's a lie, not considering a different shop ever. It's just hard to find a barber with someone that you trust, has a clean shop with good vibes, and is so insanely meticulous and consistent at doing a great cut / beard trim. Oh and he is a cool dude.

I wrote my last review of Donna and her shop three years ago, and after seeing a couple recent…read morenegative reviews, i thought it was time for an update and rebuttal. Needless to say, I'm still a loyal customer and have never been disappointed with a haircut or beard trim in all my years of going to Donna, dating back to her previous location that was less convenient than her current one directly on the ocean side of PCH. I have always found Donna pleasant and accommodating, not that she can magically make appointments on short notice - she's popular and busy...duh. Why wouldn't she be? She has a clean and well-located shop, she knows what she's doing and her prices are quite reasonable considering what her rent must be on PCH in Corona Del Mar. She's also very easy on the eyes, if anyone is allowed to notice such things anymore. I'm a harmless semi-old man now, so perhaps it's OK....lol You can't please all the people all the time, but I also wonder about the motivations and attitudes of those that write negative reviews. Perhaps a look in the mirror would be informative for them? For me, I'm just glad Donna and her shop have managed to survive the "Pandemic". That's says something right there because many good businesses have not been able to do the same.

She clearly has a natural…read moreeye for what she does, but you can also see the level of work, precision, and experience behind it. That kind of consistency doesn't happen without real dedication. She just gets it her attention to detail and ability to understand exactly what you want without you having to over-explain is rare. Beyond her skill, there's something about her presence that makes you feel comfortable right away. You don't feel like just another appointment you feel genuinely welcomed. Megan was just as great. She's incredibly easy to talk to, very attentive, and really in tune with you throughout the whole process. She keeps everything flowing smoothly and makes the experience feel relaxed from start to finish. Together, they create an environment that's warm, welcoming, and hard to come by. Vaan's work truly speaks for itself it's easy to see why she's where she is.

I haven't gone to anyone else since. Now I'm about to celebrate my 40th out of town and she made me look amazing! Moni!! I also love how friendly and welcoming the staff is! They create a warm, professional atmosphere that is the icing on a perfect cake. Thank you Moni and PRESS!
