A laid-back and "alternative" feeling barber shop giving pretty consistent cuts across the various…read morestylists. They take pictures and notes after the end of every cut for next time, so it feels similar to big-name chain stores like Supercuts, but in my experience much higher quality. Perfect for people with little time or attention to their personal style (aka me). Gracious with post-cut washes if you want one. They also offer water of various temperatures, coffee, sodas, and a local beer on tap while you wait. I get a pretty standard fade and combover on top. Across all the stylists I've had, Michelle has been the most consistent and efficient at this, with special attention to my annoying cowlicks, but I haven't gotten a *bad* cut from anybody. Something cool is the manager would text me personally after cuts to ask for feedback. Maybe since I'm a regular the texts have stopped, but it feels like in their own way, everyone here cares.

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!

She's incredibly talented, and I honestly wouldn't trust anyone else with my hair. Highly recommend Ana!

Every barber in the shop knows exactly what they're doing, and the whole place has a welcoming, top-tier neighborhood vibe. ​That being said, Tina is my absolute go-to! ​Her attention to detail is completely unmatched. She takes the time to make sure every blend is seamless, every line is perfectly sharp, and the cut is exactly what I envisioned. Tina is a true artist who takes massive pride in her craft, and she's just fantastic to chat with while you're in the chair. ​It's rare to find a shop where everyone is great, but even rarer to find a barber as skilled as Tina. If you want to look sharp and feel like a million bucks, this is the place to go. Huge thanks to Tina and the whole crew! Do yourself a favor, make an appointment. Walk-ins ok but might be a wait.

*EDIT* The owner…read morereplied to me and "explained" their actions by giving me some excuse about a rotation and gaslighting me about what I heard coming from Nancy all while calling their Mexican barber, Isaac, slow and inexperienced before her PR training kicked in and deleted THAT response - replacing it with the generic one you now see here. (I know their names because she included it in the response she originally wrote) *END EDIT* Ok, to be fair, my husband and son are happy with their haircuts. The older woman who was working in there (I assume the owner) was very sweet; she offered peanuts to my daughter so she can feed the squirrel outside! The slightly younger woman who actually cut my husband and son's hair? RUDE. RUDE. RUDE. The second we walked up to the barber shop, she was outside walking in and I could hear she was already offended by us. I heard her mutter under her breath "de cho thang me lam di" which means "I should let the Mexican guy work on them" but in a very disparaging tone. As if she's too good to cut our hair so she's gonna let "the Mexican" handle it...so why didn't she let him? Oh yeah, he was busy...everyone in the shop was busy but her. Against my better judgement, we stayed anyway because of my desperation for haircuts...but we are never coming back! As one Vietnamese woman to another, we need to do better. We are never beating the allegations if you are going to continue to perpetuate a stereotype of people feeling like they are being talked about in a salon if that's all you know how to do. Also, don't rent out stations and profit off Mexicans if that's how you really feel.

I will keep this short because I am not saying anything new that others have already said about Elaine. I am merely posting to share my appreciation for a quality haircut from a quality individual. Prior to coming here, I had the same stylist for 30 years. I feel fortunate to finally found someone that I can trust just as much as my previous stylist. Maybe it's the similar background, but feels like I've been going here for years when it's only been about a couple of months. wishing you all the best and hope to continue coming here for years to come.

Elaine is located in the Sola Salons at Culver and Irvine Center, so convenient location for me living in Irvine. I was impressed by Elaine's professionalism to her art, whether it came down to the hair style, the choice of items to use to spice up my hair when it was done, and the optional ear and nose wax removal, which I did for the first time and highly recommend! All in all Elaine ended up using the entire hour with me, so compared to those places where you are in and out in 15 minutes, I definitely appreciated her attention to detail. Needless to say highly recommend!

Extremely frustrating and unreliable experience. I received a text confirming my appointment, only…read moreto have the shop cancel it right afterward. What makes this worse is that this is the second time they've cancelled on me. The last time, they cancelled the same day, only about an hour before my appointment. I specifically scheduled this haircut because I'm starting a new job Monday and needed to get cleaned up the day before. Now I'm left scrambling to find another barber at the last minute. I understand that things come up, but repeatedly confirming appointments and then cancelling them - especially with little to no notice - is unacceptable. If you can't reliably honor appointments, don't confirm them in the first place. I gave this place another chance after the first cancellation, and unfortunately they proved that was a mistake. I won't be booking here again.

Harold's Barbershop is located in Irvine and they offer luxurious haircut services from the fade haircut, beard trimming & shaves, grey blending, waxing, facial, etc. I was able to book a same-day appointment at 6 PM on Harold's website. Walk-in is welcomed. [Parking]: Free and easy parking within the plaza. [Atmosphere]: Very modern vibe and apparently they offer complimentary drinks (I only learned about it after my haircut was done). [Booking]: While they allow online appointment, please note that there's no cancellation within 24 hours of the schedule appointment. I booked a session with Maher. [Price]: Classic haircut for $70 (pre-rinse, desired haircut, hot towel, styling with product) for a 40-minute time slot. I asked the staff about the Yelp 50% off discount code and the staff said the code is not valid anymore. However the staff offered another active & working Yelp discount code and was able to take $17 off. Honestly even with the discount, it was still one of the most expensive haircut services I have ever had. There's also a Groupon deal, but apparently it is for the 1st time customer only. They also offer $220 Harold's Experience (pre-rinse, desired haircut, shampoo + conditioning, scalp massage, hot towel + hot lather neck shave, styling with product, beard trim no straight razor, face mask, nose + ears + eyebrow wax) and $1,000 Harold's Black Label Experience (2-hour private barbershop takeover - Harold's Experience + a drink, custom music, and complete privacy. Leave with a styled finish, lightly misted with a premium cologne, and gifted with a take-home grooming kit). [Haircut experience - classic haircut]: No pre-rinse for my haircut, but Maher was great at execution. I showed him a picture of a specific hairstyle. Next he took a picture of my desired haircut and the result was what I wanted - so nothing to complain about on the actual haircut result. [Conclusion]: The overall experience here reminded me of Edition Studio in San Gabriel Valley - high quality haircut but not exactly an affordable experience (don't forget it's $70 for a classic haircut without discount + tip). I would consider coming back here again if I need a special haircut.
