I got the worst haircut of my life! I asked for bangs that can fit my face well with my middle part and he cut it straight across my eyebrows! So now I have a bowl-cut instead of hair that shaped my head well before. I do not recommend! read more

Been going here every Sunday while stationed in pendleton and soon found my favorite barber.

He always took his time to make it perfect and I highly recommend asking for Bruce when you go. read more

I come here every weekend. A great job every time. Chris is as good as anybody. Highly recommended. Military friendly as well.

Terrible at cutting hair, asked for half an inch off the top and a medium low fade.. dude literally basically gave me a buzz cut. wouldn't recommend this barbershop at all. read more

They cut hair very good here, the barbers are also very friendly. Danny cuts very cleanly.

I've been coming here for around a year now, and have never been disappointed. Everyone staffed here really knows how to cut hair. Always friendly and always leaving with a smile on my face - won't be going anywhere else for a haircut. read more

Super nice and helpful, didn't even charge for a fix-up from something another barber messed up. Definitely going back ASAP.

My 5 Year old son and I just received the best hair cuts we had in months. We came in late and were greeted by a pleasant barber who completed 2 nice cuts before my son took the chair. Though my son moving around quite a bit, the barber was calm and was able to get him a great graduated fad from zero. I was pleased with my fade with trim and hard part. I would recommend to a friend because the fade was very nice, the atmosphere was pleasant and the price for a military cut was affordable. read more

been coming to this shop for two years and mostly good cuts, but today this long haired dude behind the glass blew some air into my ear and made it ring, couldn't hear right after and I keep hearing this high pitch noise all day, so if you go just don't get a cut from him read more

I come here every time and walk out every time satisfied. This place does a great job with their pristine cuts and it's enjoyable company. I highly recommend this barber shop, I'm sure it'll become you're favorite as well! read more

Popped in during Sunrise Market to inquire about the availability for a haircut for my hubby and our group of 6 got an extremely cold reception. The first comment was a negative, "We don't do kids!" When I added that I was inquiring for my husband, it didn't get any less chilly. They did not appear to want our patronage and even scared my little guy who was holding my hand. We walked 2 blocks towards the pier and stopped at Beachcomber Barber where we had the best service of our life from Victoria who even gelled my little guy's hair to match dad's. I would never return here. read more

Best hair cut I've had in a long time. Ten bucks was well spent. Me and two buddies came to get cuts and it was a relaxing environment and a quality hair cut read more

Just in case you're already wondering (and you probably are), they display two prices: $8 military regulation, $12 civilian. Why? Because Camp Pendleton is literally down the road, so there is a huge surplus of Marines and Sailors coming through here. Being a military man myself, I get my haircut at multiple places depending on the situation. I was out with a friend and he always goes here so I tagged along. I've been here before but not around 1400'ish - it wasn't too busy, but busy enough that I had to wait. They got 8 barbers at most. Every haircut I've gotten has ended with a razor line up from my sideburns-back. The place has two small waiting benches. They have a stool outside for whatever reason. The barber chairs are old school and comfortable. It's about summer time - the place as I said is small, and they do have two ceiling fans, but the place is still rather warm. I suggest you don't layer up. Regardless, it's still a good place to get a fresh fade. I've never had any problems. They even have an ATM for your convenience, a.k.a., cash only. read more

Homie got me fresh! I think he said his name was Chris. Cool guy - personable and good convo. Quick too!

Still trying to find "my barber" here in Oceanside. Stopped in here to get the head and beard trimmed. Older Spanish gentleman. Friendly waisted no time and I believe I got a good cut and trim. Clippers and a straight razor. $15 haircut $5 for shaping the beard plus a tip. Not bad. read more

Esquire Barber Shop - Barbers Near Me - Oceanside, California

Like the friendly service and neck shave. It seems they've been around for a long time.

I got a messed up hair cut at a different barber came here and they fixed me up right haven't had this good of a cut in a long time definitely would recommend read more

This Barber shop doesn't deliver. I went in and I believe it was the owner who asked me if I wanted a Medium Regulation Haircut, I clearly stated that I wanted a low fade. This man proceeds to give me a high fade with no blend at all. My hair clearly has a straight line going right through it. Bad service best believe I will not be returning to this place as well as not recommending it to anyone I know. read more

Had a lovely chat with the lady who cut my hair. She finished quickly and gave me exactly the haircut I was hoping for. Looks great and was super affordable! The free neck shave felt really refreshing too, didn't understand why they advertised it till I experienced it. read more

Pretty good service, got a cut from the lady Maria. Folk are really nice and are fun to have a conversation with.

Still a great cut and the price has only gone up $1 to $8 for a high n tight. I believe my Friday barber may be named Tom. It's sad that I live in the hinterlands of 92127 and STILL have to drive to Oceanside to find someone I trust to work on my hair. Keep up the great work! read more

Jesse, Maria, and Johnny showed great hospitality. Esquire barber shop is my go-to for haircuts every weekend. They give great haircuts every time, without fail. 10 out of 10 would recommend. read more

Stopped by for a haircut and Carmen did an excellent job! Great customer service, very welcoming and inviting. Definitely going to be a returning customer. read more

Great hours, and little to no foot traffic in the morning! High fades aren't too high and lows aren't shitbag low either. IMO waaaay better than knuckleheads and stud cutz considering $10 (tip included) gets you a good, straight hair cut that doesn't feel like you've just been shuttled in and out of the chair like cattle through the chutes. Only barber shop in Oceanside that ill go to if i have a say in it. read more

Esquire Barber Shop - Esquire Barber Shop off of Pier View in Oceanside. Best cuts and prices I've found so far! - Barbers Near Me - Oceanside, California

I walk into the barber shop with 3 available barbers sitting on their a** and after awhile they ask me what I'm waiting for... Refraining from responding with a smart remark, I tell them I'm waiting for a haircut (obviously). Then someone else comes in and they immediately respond to him and give him a seat before me. Then they have the nerve look dumbfounded when I voiced my frustration... this place was raggedy anyway with disgruntled old folks. I was a regular there but if there's one thing I don't tolerate is crappy customer service. read more

My hair is riggity riggity wrecked son. The barber was talking with multiple people the entire time during my haircut and it definitely showed through. Usually I go to a cheap $5 barber that gives mediocre haircuts, but this place really disappointed me. read more

Joe the barber always ask how my son wants his hair cut. He always asking him if the cut looks good as he's cutting away. There is a tv to watch as the time passes. Average priced. read more

Been here before to get a hair cut and went today..... Barber didn't really acknowledge I was there and just looked at me to sit down.... I asked "how are you doing today?" And he just looked at me no answer.... he asked me how I wanted my hair cut and I told him and I said I want my beard trimmed up and he says "I don't do beard trimmings" which I know is total crap because I've seen him do them before. What barber doesn't do a beard trimming?!?!?! Didn't say a single word the whole time he was cutting and I believe he could tell I was angry.... I'd be willing to spend a couple extra bucks to go somewhere that treats their customers better read more

I've been to this barbershop a few times and it's decent. It's cheap and they do razor lines for you which is a plus. My only gripe is with the woman barber, she cannot cut hair at all. The other barbers do a decent job but do avoid the woman barber. If you're in the military, they're pretty good at what they do except the woman. There were other people waiting to get their haircut, but they avoided seeing the woman which now I know why... read more

I've been going to this barbershop off and on over the years, laid back customers, and one particular barber that does a great job cutting my hair is a personal favorite, but after this morning waiting to get my haircut, I'll never go back again to spend my haircut money! Walked in, there was 1 barber cutting. This barber usually opens the shop up in the early morning, and works in the left corner as soon as you walk into the door by the window. He always looks like he doesn't like his job. There was an older caucasian man waiting ahead of me. Fine. Another older caucasian gentleman walks in, sits, and waits patiently beside me. As it was the gentleman's turn ahead of me, the barber starts talking his political BS with that customer. It got deep. The customer who's hair he was cutting began talking about how he's from Texas, talking guns, etc. Out of nowhere he tells the barber how he seen a African American gentleman back in Texas walking by his property, believing he was trespassing, his wife calls feeling threatened, he comes out, shoots him, sheriff comes out, to investigate, gets away with it because he's allowed to have a gun for protection, and tells the barber he died at the hospital. Then this same racist customer then says Texas should bring back and rope, and start hanging again! Me and the other customer waiting looked at one another in disbelief! The conversation carried on. Then brags about how one of his friends in Texas shot, and killed 2 other African American men dead in there head, so called being threatened they were near or on his property. It carries on saying "Don't Mess With Texas" sayings. He continued on with his ignorance saying how he had signs on his property that had, "You will be shot Trespassing." Meanwhile the barber is right along with him, asking him questions, etc. 30 min had passed and I had to leave due to work thinking I'd been in and out. I told the nice gentleman next to me he can be next because I had to leave. Before I left, he said listen, this political stuff doesn't need to be talked about, and left at home! On top of that, called the racist prick an ignorant racist piece of sh*t, a long with the barber. He also told me everytime he comes, that same barber, and the shop always have political news on, instead of something like sports, or family stations on like other barbershops around town. He to has family in Texas he said, and everything the customer was saying is full of himself, and Texas is not like what he was saying. I got up and left in disbelief. I'll never go back to this shop again, and unfortunately not having my favorite barber cut my hair again when this shop presents ignorance! I hope everyone reads this! Feel bad for the young Marines that go get there haircuts there. I'd rate this place a zero it it would allow. Planning to call the owner and let him know. The nice gentleman talking to me said he won't be returning either. read more

Jeez, people have gone crazy about my haircut from the Esquire. Several people, including my office mate said it was the best haircut I'd ever had. Guess it is. read more

One of the spots to get your fade/line up done. They straight razor also. It gets busy during the weekends, i suggest coming early.

My husband and I went in there and my husband wanted a hair cut the man that was there was so rude and didn't even bother to get up or unglue his eyes from the TV so we left. Very place! read more

Good old fashioned all American barber shop (with really nice Mexican majority of barbers, but hey diversity is American too right!?) old skill style military barber shop with classic look and feel. MAJOR PLUS: one of the last few known places to use a straight razor for that awesome military "high and tight" look.... Skin tight hair cut trimmed to perfection. I recommend Jose the barber he is good. 8 bucks military 12 for civilian. Plus tip. I LOVE THIS PLACE! ! read more

How did this place get 5 stars ? My barber was drunk so I waited for the next guy but before he could get done I left. This is not the place to get a haircut. Don't let Jaime near your head! read more

Awesome - can't lose with any of the barbers that cut your hair. I like going to Jose the best and his chair faces looking down the street and you get an oceanfront view while getting a good haircut. Straight razor at the end is rarely found and totally old-school. Military discount makes the haircut $8. read more

Awful, just awful. Worst haircut and customer service I have ever experienced. I asked for a medium low haircut and the barber literally took less than a half of an inch off with the razor and said I was done. I went back in there and asked nicely for her to higher it a little and she got an additude and told me to wait. Another barber ended up having to do it when she proceeded to purposely take forever on her next customer. All I got to say is if you want a bad haircut, this is the place to go. read more
