    My son Will's hair cut
    Charlotte S.

    Dante is always amazing and patient with my Son will who gets scared easily! Dante does such a good job cutting his hair, never misses a beat or gets frustrated! Such a kind guy! We are obsessed with the hair cut! Thank you Dante for putting up with us and my little wiggly/angry dude! 10 million stars!!! Everyone in the barber shop is super nice!

    Hands down, best barber shop. Living in the IE makes it difficult to come down to OC but I can not find a barber with the same skill and talent. Plenty of parking in front of the building and in the lot across the street. They have 2 location and are located at the end of the business building across from one another. It's suggested to schedule an appointment using Booksy app. They do accept walk ins, but it may take a while to be seen since these guys are usually booked a few weeks in advance. These locations are ran by 2 brother Christian and Miguel. They offer a number of services such as fades, tapers, beard trims and just about any other style you can think of. They'll leave you looking picture perfect. Christian AKA Ceejay is my go to barber and I've been coming to him for 11 years now. The vibe these two brother and the rest of the barbers here create will make you feel welcome and comfortable. They have a few sofas in case you have to wait, a large flat screen TV, and some cool art. If you're in the area and want to look your best I would highly recommend The Fade Lab

    Beard done by Ernie amazing job thank you!

    Very hard to find people that do work you like especially in hair. Sometimes you have an image and it comes out the exact opposite. Now after visiting Ernie I got exactly what I wanted and now I'm going to be a customer for a long time because of the work he has done. He only did a beard trim for me ( next time my hair and beard) and did exactly what I asked for and shaped my beard to look fuller and at the end my beard came out perfect. Thank you again everyone at the shop for an awesome time.

    My husband and I were looking for a barbershop that would cut our sons hair and we heard about fade lab through a friend. So we came here as a late walk in and to our surprise Brian took our son in, we were impressed how the cut came out ...WOW. The price is at the standard and the service didn't disappoint we highly recommend this place!

    CeeJay definitely knows how to cut. His fade was awesome. Laced me up nice, made an appointment, he was on time. Much love from NYC.

    Christian has been cutting my son's hair since last year and he always does an outstanding job, he's patient and takes his time to do a perfect cut. If you want a $10 haircut go somewhere else, but you get what you pay for. I'll definitely keep bringing my boy here.

    I came in the day before my birthday and specifically asked Bobby for a low fade or taper. What I…read morereceived was not even close to what I asked for. It was not a low taper, and it was not even a standard high fade. It was cut much higher than that, to the point where I noticed midway through the haircut and had to stop him. At that point, I asked Christian, who has cut my hair well in the past, to try to fix it. To his credit, Christian did everything he could. He spent about an hour trying to work with what had already been done, but eventually even he said that was the best he was able to do because of how much had already been taken off. To say I was frustrated would be an understatement. This was the day before my birthday, and the haircut was bad enough that I avoided taking photos, avoided going out, and had to wait weeks for it to grow back before I felt normal again. The only real solution was time because the damage had already been done. I still come to this shop because Christian and Thomas are both great barbers, and I do recommend them. They are the reason I still have any confidence in this place. But I would personally avoid Bobby. My experience with him was extremely disappointing, and the result felt so far from what I asked for that it honestly left me questioning how that happened in the first place. Again, Christian and Thomas are solid. Bobby, based on my experience, is someone I would not trust with my hair again.

My wife called Dapper Don's to see their availability for an emergency fix.

They took us right away and made my boy feel reassured he wasn't going to be getting a hack job. Thankful for their professionalism and kindness! We will for sure be hitting these guys back up for our future cuts!

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)

That in itself is a compliment since my brother is very picky and impatient. Let's just say I'm grateful, my brother's barber @constancios_wild_years (IG, handle) is very patient with children. I come along as a toddler distraction, snack dispenser, juice dispenser, Miss Rachel iPhone stand, baby sitter, etc. If you assumed my nephew is restless and dislikes his hair appointments, you're right; but slowly the process has become more manageable and he seems to be warming up to Constancio. The location is always clean and the area is very nice. I often walk my nephew throughout the district & scope out murals while he waits his turn. My nephew always ends up with a nice dapper cut, ready to break hearts with his baby charm. Today was a first, he caught a reflection of himself and the little man nodded as if to approve of his new look. Pictures of today's fresh cut included, thanks again!
