Such was my day, In Newport the other day. I visited a friend at his office with a view of the Pacific Ocean and the bay. Both views were peekaboo's however, delightful, and fun. Then I cruised into my favorite fish shop - the Crab Cooker - and got a small slab of albacore with some tartar sauce. Lunch handled! Then I looked at Yelp for barbershops in Newport Beach. Sure enough - Byrd's Nest came up. I read the reviews and all were quite good earning them right near five stars! I cruised in myself to find out more and sure enough, the stylish young gentleman Barber named Josh Ochoa was available and ready to go. I used their app (Vargaro) to check his availability before cruising in. Josh took great care of me, even a slight discount for paying cash, I was cleaned up and ready to go in a matter of 50 minutes. I had a beautiful day in Newport. I would definitely see Josh again for a haircut and a delightful conversation. Fly on into the Byrd's nest and enjoy it.

Been going to Josh Ochoa for several years and he gets the cut right every time. He has everything…read moreyou could want in a Barber - amazing and consistent cut, good conversation, and all around great vibe. Can't recommend Josh enough. You won't be disappointed.

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 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.

Finding someone who can…read morerepeatedly give you exactly what you're looking for every single time is rare, and that is why I'm giving this place 5 stars. The Pro: I always go to Max, and he is incredible. He always makes time for me, and I never have to worry about how my hair is going to turn out. It's actually crazy--it looks exactly like the photos I show him every single time. He's a true professional who knows his craft. The Value: If I were rating the studio's pricing alone, it would probably be a 3 or a 4. A normal haircut here is about $90, which is undeniably expensive. I know the barbers rent their individual booths and don't set those studio prices, but $90 is a lot for a standard cut. Final Verdict: Even though the price is steep, Max does such a great job that I don't mind paying to see him. I'd follow him anywhere just to cut out the middleman, but as long as he's here, it's worth the investment for a perfect cut.

I just wanted to give a quick review on my experience at Hypecuts Barbershop. My Son wanted a change with his hairstyle so he actually googled and found this hip spot himself. My Husband had been cutting his hair for years but now going into the pre-teen stage he wanted something different. We made our appointment with Ezbai. Ezbai is very personable with a fun personality. Very nice and knowledgeable. He even taught me a few things about hair! My Son is very happy with his "new" style and wants to go back...I agree! My Husband was impressed as well. Looks like Ezbai will be my boys new Barber! read more
