Great experience overall. Got a clean cut, Octavio was friendly & professional, everything came out exactly how I wanted.

I went in the day before the 4th of July and he was able to fit me in, which I really appreciated. I had a very long weekend and just remembered to leave this review, but I wanted to say thank you for the great service. I got exactly the haircut I asked for, he listened to my request, paid attention to the details, and made sure I was happy with the result. Definitely recommend! read more

Just moved to the area, and finding a new barber is always a little nerve-wracking. I found Octavio through Google and decided to give him a shot and really glad I did. He did an excellent job on my haircut, his fades are on point, and he nailed exactly what I asked for. Really happy with how it turned out and will definitely be back. Highly recommend him if you need a haircut! read more

Found my new spot. Octavio is the man! Took his time to get the details right, fade is super clean. I have slightly longer hair and most barbers wanna give me the average cookie cutter cut but not here,He's got skills. His vibe is cool calm and collective. And don't let the beauty spot fool you , they offer other services tooooo read more

Got there on 8/1/25 at 2:45pm . Shop was busy but doc oct got to work . He's nice with the sheers and the clips. Got a clean French crop mullet . He takes his time to make sure it he gots you ! read more

Octavio is one great barber. I always go in to first time barbers with my expectations less then stellar but not with O. He cut my hair like I have been going to hime for years. Perfect. Dude know his craft. read more

Octavio offers quality results with the highest level of professionalism. He listens to your request and executes the outcome each time without fail. He is timely with his appointments, which is indicative that he respects and values the time of his clients. I would give him more credit, but I contribute the great head of hair to display his artwork on. If you're looking for a clean fade, he's your guy. read more

Octavio was super helpful in helping locate the spot and accommodated my late availability. I had trouble locating the spot at first, as it's inside the "House of Beauty", but Octavio was quick to guide me to the right spot. My wife was quick to point out how great the haircut and beard trim came out once I got home, and suggested I come back for my next cut! read more

Had a confusing time trying to find a barber and stumbled on Fades with Blades. Pictures worth a thousand words and I liked the style of fades so I booked an appointment. Octavio reached out and was upfront with some days and times that I could find to work with my schedule. My son and I both needed our haircut, I was very happy with the results and My wife loved our sons cut as well. I will definitely be reaching out to Octavio for future cuts. read more

See all

This review has been due for about a month now. Honestly, I was uncertain of what to think about this because I could not find the spot, but after communicating with Octavio, I realized that it is located in a Salon with this page as his personal landing page. When I had my haircut, it was very long for a male (over a foot long). He previewed an example video I had shared with him prior to the appointment and parted my hair systematically to be able to cut my hair efficiently. And on top of properly chopping off plenty of my hair, he also gave me a very professional fade that made me look sharp. If anyone is skeptical about going here for a cut, I highly advise you to try him out at least once and go from there. I have moved 75 miles away, but I still intend to return for another haircut because I was incredibly pleased with the results I got. read more

Just got my haircut from Octavio yesterday. I'm still amazed by how great it looks. He works off appointment, which is great because it basically means you'll be seen right away and won't have to sit around, waiting, for too long if at all. Octavio is really professional and detailed in his work. He works with precision and you can tell he's really skilled in his craft. He takes the time to see what kind of haircut you want and can take feedback on the fly if something needs to be adjusted as well (trust the process though, it'll come out great!). Pricing is very reasonable as well. I'm glad I found a "go-to" barber as my last one is too far from where I live and quite a hassle to drive to. I generally cut my own hair but for bigger occasions, I'll gladly go to a barber and save time from the process. Octavio is located right off the freeway so this will work out well. Looking forward to more haircuts in the future! read more

First time here at FadeswithBlades with Octavio, and had a great haircut and a great overall experience. The fade on the sides and back is perfectly done, and top is cut to perfection as well. He is at the top of his craft and meticulous, and it shows in his work. Highly recommend him!! read more

Found the right barber for me. I've been looking around town for a few months, and none met my expectations. Octavio cut and faded my hair like asked for. He was already standing by for our appointment. Communication and settling up the appointment was timely and professional. I appreciate that. He is definitely my go-to barber going forward. Highly recommend. read more

It had been about 2 months since my last cut. I would normally go to my barber in San Diego but with my busy schedule I haven't had the chance to visit him. I'm picky with barbers because I normally ask for a medium skin fade which I've had butchered before by barbers I've tried. Octavios location was fairly close to my house in Corona but I needed to know he was legit so I stalked his IG and noticed he has skill. I sent him a text asking for same day appointment @4pm and he was nice enough to squeeze me in even though he was booked. I arrived to the location and Octavio was waiting for me. He asked what I wanted and got to work. Dude is meticulous with his planning and before he started cutting, he was prepping my hair and constantly communicated with me through the visit. Pricing is fair and the service is beyond top notch. I'm so happy with my cut and my wife can't stop raving about how good I look. Is this my new barber? Hell yes, dudes been cutting hair for 20 years and his experience shows in his work. read more

Octavio is amazing stylist! Loved the haircut. Was my first time and definitely recommend.

I have been in Corona for a few years now and I finally found my barber. Octavio cares about his craft and takes his time to make sure you are happy with your cut. I highly recommend him! read more

Welp. Found my sons new barber. I showed him a picture of what I wanted , his hair came out so good Absolutely love it . This guy is an absolute perfectionist. read more

I was new to this area and in need of a barber. I am happy to say I found a great barber! Works by appointment and is done in a reasonable amount of time. I have already recommended to friends and family and will continue to get my cut here! read more

I just want to say that octavio did an awesome job on me and my son's haircut. He was was quick and the cut turned out better than expected. Anybody that wants a fast and good cut, should consider Fades with Blades. read more

Got a great cut and great experience. First time checking this place out and would recommend. Very clean and profession.

I recently moved to Eastvale and was looking for a new barber. I am so glad that I found Octavio at FadeswithBlades. The fade I got blew my old barber's skills out of the water! I requested a low fade and trim off the top. I was thoroughly impressed with Octavio's skills! The shop is conveniently located next to the 15 freeway. Look for "House of Beauty" and Octavio has a booth there. When I arrived for my appointment he was already waiting so I didn't have to wait at all. If you need a fresh cut you can definitely trust FadeswithBlades! Thanks Octavio--I will definitely be returning. read more

Highly recommended! Appointment based, love that, makes for a smooth visit, no wait, in and out. Octavio is a chill, professional and talented guy who accommodated my appointment request quicker than other places. All info for his business is accurate and legitimate as well. Clean station located in a stable shop that has easy free parking and nearby other shops, coffee, food and grocery places. Super convenient from my home and my work as well. Moved to the inland empire a few years ago and wasn't able to find a barber I could see myself committing to. I just get a good comfortable feeling with Octavio. At my work, my coworkers have never complimented my hair style or hair cuts until 2/11/22 after my haircut from Octavio. It feels good to have my partner, my manager and coworkers say, "whoa you like really good", "whoever cut your hair did a good job", or "I've got to tell you your haircut is really nice today." Lol I was feeling down all week and that right there, the experience, just makes you feel way better. I appreciate Octavio, him driving into town and the precise cut and chill interaction, you will too. Absolutely worth it. read more

Thanks to Octavio for giving me the cut I was looking for as a first time booking. Was searching around for a barber last minute and the feedback from his clients lead me in and they weren't wrong! read more

I'm new to Corona and have been looking for a new barber to be my go-to place for a few weeks now. I found FadeswithBlades on yelp and reached out to Octavio for a haircut. He responded to me very quickly and I was able to book an appointment within two days. I told him what fade I was looking for and let him do his thing. He was very precise and meticulous, and it came out exactly how I wanted it to look! Overall, very pleased with his service and I strong advise anyone to check him out! read more

I had been looking for a good Barber for my son for a long time and came across FadeswithBlades. I was skeptical at first when I saw a five star Yelp rating however I took a chance and called for an appointment. Immediately received a text from Octavio giving me his availability and we took his firs available appointment. When we arrived, Octavio was already expecting us, as a busy father Appointments work great for my schedule. Once my son sat down, Octavio went immediately to work, and can honestly say, provided my son with the best haircut he's had since relocated into the Eastvale area. As we all know barbers are a diamond dozen however, the good ones are scarce! So glad we found Octavio! read more

My teenage son is very picky when it comes to his hair. After trying out various barbers, he's finally found one he's very happy with. Octavio does excellent work. He's very meticulous with his style of cut. Highly recommend him. read more

We just moved to the area and my fiancé has been looking for a new barber - I think he found him! He did a wonderful and clean job on his hair. Blended very well and clearly gave attention to detail. Highly recommend! read more

Just moved here from OC been to many barbershops around here that suck. No one could do a clean skin fade. This dude right here got skills. Nice guy and clean shop. Found my new barber. read more

this Man Octo did me right! Needed an immediate haircut and he came through for me cuz i got a wedding on tuesday and had no other time but today. He was friendly, accommodating, and a craftsman with his work. He's the go to man if you ever need an A1 cut read more

First off, I am extremely picky when it comes to my barbers. I try and take everything into account. Cut quality, friendliness, professional manner, time management, etc. Octavio passes them all with flying colors and remains my go to even though I drive out of my way to see him. My hair is really thick and I've had other barbers struggle with getting a consistent cut but this isn't a problem for him. You can tell he takes pride in his work and is constantly trying to outdo himself. Give him a try and I'm sure you won't be disappointed. read more

After My barber that I have been going to for months decides to cancel my appointment because of their scheduling conflict, Octavio came to the rescue. He took me in last minute and gave me the cleanest cut I have ever had. At the moment I was upset my barber had pushed a loyal client aside, Octavio, whom clearly has service mentally gains a client. If you want a clean fade come here because people claim they know what they are doing probably don't until you see the work here. read more

Octavio nailed my cut! After trying a few other barbershops in Corona that didn't quite get it right, I'm glad I found Octavio. He definitely knows his stuff and is worth the visit! read more

I just moved here from the OC and I'm glad I found Octavio as a barber. He definitely cares about his work and you can tell right when you meet him. He'll make sure you get the exact haircut you want. I will definitely be coming back! read more

Moved to Riverside back in Jan and Octavio has exclusively been cutting my hair ever since! His cuts are always come out so clean and exactly what I ask for even when I change it up on him. He not only is an excellent barber, but he is prompt and definitely the most communicative barber I've gone to. He has fit me into his busy schedule on multiple occasions and has proven to be reliable, consistent and always friendly of course. Would recommend him to anyone in need of a fresh fade! read more

For starters, the convenience of Octavio's barbershop right off the 15 at Hidden Valley in the Dollar Tree/Starbucks/Chase bank shopping center is great as it is easily accessible. He shares space with a salon but that's no reason to be deterred or create a sense of hesitation - he knows how to set a chill vibe with modern reggaeton hits and old school hip hop classics at his personal work station. I was in need of a new barber and fast due to my latest one flaking and bailing on me last minute before the weekend anniversary plans made with my girlfriend. His prompt consultation response around 6am through Yelp one morning was definitely a sign of good things to come. The man wasted no time starting the cut - no gimmicks, no BS, just straight to the point. I don't usually get fades but due to the circumstances, I gave the man with multiple 5 star reviews a shot and I've gotten nothing but compliments from my lady, friends and family. I'm glad I came across his reviews as I found my new barber very close to home in Corona. I hope this read encourages you to do the same. Help me help him get enough clientele to open up his own shop, he deserves it!! Spread the word and tell all your boys and your old man about this hidden gem. read more

Went in as a first time customer today and Octavio was awesome! He cut my hair perfect and had a great vibe! I'm definitely gonna be a reoccurring customer and I'm so happy I decided to come to this shop read more

I have been growing out my hair for a year and I finally decided to cut my hair. I wanted a buzzcut but was nervous because typically they always look terrible but when I stumbled upon fades with blades with Octavio, it was the best decision I made. He made a buzz cut look great and imagine what other hairstyle he could make look good. He knows what he is doing and trust me he will do you justice. This was the best barber I ever have come to and I will definitely recommend him and come again! I am very happy I came across him, thank you!!! read more

Me and my son get our cuts with Octavio he always does a great job. He takes his time to make sure our fades and cuts are perfect. Highly recommend. Flexible schedule and I like that I can zelle him payment read more

Yo this mans took my hair to church. I've been looking for a barber for a hot minute ever since the one I used to have in LA moved. I visit out here on the weekends for family, so I'm pretty glad I found a barber out here that's really professional and responsive. Octavio responds in minutes and he explained everything he was doing with my hair really clearly. Gave great tips and tricks for whatever concerns I had. I appreciated that he was never distracted, just laser focused on getting the perfect blend, fade, and clean cut like I asked. read more
