My son has been going to John's Barber in Mission Viejo ever since they opened. He used to get his haircuts from Tony before Tony moved to another location, and now Christian is his go-to. Everyone at John's Barber does a great job by listening carefully and offering helpful feedback, which makes the experience enjoyable unlike other salons where they don't really listen. Booking an appointment is a breeze, and the prices are fair for the area. It's a great spot for young men trying out different styles. read more

Like this place a lot! My son got a haircut by a crazy skilled guy but I think everyone is super talented there! Prices were very reasonable too! read more

Been going here for a few months and all the barbers can hold their own. Shaz gave me a skin fade today and it turned out damn near flawless. The attention to detail was great and he was technically sound. Not to mention the price for a cut here is unbeatable, you make sure to tip your barber well. For anybody who doesn't like to talk in the barbershop, there's 2 TVs playing whatever big sports game is on that day. read more

Shaz did a great job he made my old man's balding hairline look like I still have some. Very pleased with his service.

Shaz is a highly skilled barber who pays great attention to detail. Every haircut is precise and consistent. If you're looking for quality and reliability, he's the one. read more

Great haircuts. Always looking to come back. I highly recommend getting a haircut here.

Shaz is highly recommended....10/10 awesome place to get your hair cut and awesome dude!

My barber of 40 years finally decided to retire, I found Shaz by chance and he does amazing work. His attention to detail is unparalleled, and my hair never looks better than when I leave his chair. I cannot recommend him enough! read more

Our family has been a loyal customer for 10 years. The staff is talented, professional, detailed oriented, friendly, knowledgeable, expertise in every haircut, and they listen to everyone's requests.

John's Barber Lounge - Love this New Location :) - Barbers Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

Asked for a mid taper fade from Shaz and he pushed my hair way far up, The cut was okay other than that.

Experience will vary depending on barber. If you get Shaz, you're going to regret your experience. Doesn't matter what cut you want, you're going to be wishing you had made an appointment. If you get anyone else, they should be able to cut hair pretty well... John's haircuts are very well done and that should be expected since he owns the shop and Alfredo has a great attention to detail. Everyone else is pretty good, but it just depends on your expectation of what a good haircut is. Just don't get Shaz. Asked for a mid fade and got a mid life crisis instead. Definitely needs a new career. Representative of at least the last 10 visits. Not to mention, Shaz will breathe into your ear the whole time he's cutting hair and his hands are shaky all the time. I feel like that doesn't help with this profession. No offense of course, just my observation and my experience with throwing my money away. read more

Shaz was amazing--truly the best in the area. I would absolutely recommend him! Thank you for your great service.

Simple haircut for a 10 year old boy. Thorough. Took about 40 minutes to complete. I'd go back.

I have been coming to John's Barber Lounge for 10 years now. You can always expect to get a fresh fade/cut. I have been going to the MV location and getting my cuts with Shaz for the past 4 times, and he does a great job. He knows what he is doing and pays attention to details, especially if you're picky like me. I also liked the fact that he gave me good advice on how to go about some of my cut style decisions. Told me what would look better with my hairstyle. And now that he knows my cut style, I don't even have to tell him anything. My cuts/fades just get better every time. PS Shaz knows how to cut with scissors! He embeds it in his cuts when needed (for the top, sides, thinning out, etc.) so rare to find these days at a barber shop but makes a huge difference. read more

I keep scheduling appointments with John, the owner, and he is always cancelling them on us. Sometimes it's really quick right after making them - like within minutes to a half hour later. And other times it's a day or so before we're supposed to show up. This is really, really, rude and unprofessional. Not to mention it makes it really hard to find a last minute walk in appointment somewhere else for 3 boys!! And what's weird about the way he treats us is that we've been going there for years, started going there at his other location. I've always tipped him well even though he's the owner. And he even cuts my husband's hair every two weeks! I guess he just doen't like women and kids? read more

Always know how to accommodate for what I ask. Pretty average prices. But it's close by and very convenient.

Shaz listened carefully to my request and paid great attention to every details. He dedicated his time to make sure everything was just right. He was also very friendly throughout the process. SHAZ is Highly recommended! read more

I've been here three times now and every time my cut has sucked. Not coming back to this spot. They have no customer service, their barbers are inexperienced and quite frankly incompetent. read more

Jonny is the man! My kids love getting their hair cut here. Fades are on point as always. Thank you. read more

See all

If I could give this place more than 5 starts I would! We love coming here for my wild boys ages 4 and 6. We usually go to Angelo and/or John and they are so great with my kiddos! They both are so patient with my boys. They listen to what my husband or I ask and have always done a great job. I appreciate how communicative John is and I love the appointment reminders via text. Thank you! read more

Johnny is the man! Always get the same results on my haircut. Clean and friendly environment. Everyone at this location has the skills to cut and line up but Johnny is my go too. Been to every one of John's locations for a haircut and they always deliver. Great prices for a great service. read more

Came in as a walk-in for a fade and beard clean. The barber told me he could only do the fade because of an upcoming appointment, but then rushed through the cut and gave me a low-quality fade. I ended up having to wait another 20 minutes for a different barber just to get my beard cleaned up. Overall, not a good experience and I can't recommend read more

Best Barbers in the biz. Go-to when I need a fresh line-up! They're usually pretty busy (for good reason) so make sure to make an appointment if you're short on time just to be safe. read more

Shaz has cut my hair at the John's Barber Lounge in Mission Viejo for over a year now. I don't leave close by. But I go to Shaz there both because he's skilled and he's kind. I enjoy his company. My hair is hard to do, for a few reasons. But every time he cuts my hair he makes me look both better and younger than I am. I frequently get compliments on my hair. Since I wasn't born yesterday, that's surprising. read more

The best barbers in town. Everyone I visit this location and the others. I see happy clients with fresh cuts. Reasonably priced and always trend forward you can go wrong. Happy that they have expanded to many locations in south Orange County. read more

Been going to all of John's barber lounges for over a decade. John has given both my sons 1st hair cut and will keep going here till goes on Vacation and comes back! Recommend this shop to anyone. Thanks to John, Angelo and the whole crew for keeping me lined up! read more

Highly recommend this place for a haircut. Very reliable for a clean fresh cut every time!

My son loves John's Barber Lounge, the staff are all so friendly and know what they are doing. My son especially loves John, he hasn't had a haircut he hasn't loved. My son is 12 and wanted a certain look, John knew exactly what we were looking for and has maintained that haircut for him. So happy to have found John's Barber Lounge! read more

Great barbershop with quality cuts. Johnny has been doing my hair for years and would highly recommend. I ask him to get creative with my hair sometimes and he never disappoints! read more

Love this place!!!! Have been loyal customer for 15 years. Very friendly!! They do an amazing job each time no matter which of the three locations we go to. Highly recommend. Always have great music to keep you entertained while you wait. read more

Haircuts are usually good but don't go in asking for a beard trim at any location without an appointment they just will not see you. Went in earlier this year to their RSM location sat for about an hour which i didnt mind because i had no appointment and was told they couldn't trim my beard. Today same issue got there at 9am waited for an hour and a half with no issue before i was told that they couldn't cut my beard because there was an appointment in 15 min. So my haircut was going to be rushed through and i couldn't get a beard trim again so i just walked. I understand if its busy, you can tell me to come back but to watch me sit there for that long before telling me I'm probably going to have to wait for another hour is ridiculous while people are walking in 15-20 min late into their appointments that they get to keep. read more

Just paid Johnny F to give my son a medium fade and it looks horrible!!! Looks like a buzz with a mop on top...too busy chatting with co worker and not paying attention. read more

Been coming to John's since Lake Forest Location! Great fades and cuts for the price especially with Tony!

I've been getting my hair cut by John for years. The other barbers are really good as well. If John is booked or gone, I trust the other barbers to clean up my fade. read more

Nice clean shop. Tony was very professional and great cut! Highly recommend this place

Great service, very time conscious, and great place overall. The local area needed a cool place like this. Great neighborhood addition, caters to everyone! read more

John and his whole staff are amazing. I still wear Marine Corps flattop and they are one of the only barbers that can still do them. All of John's staff are up on the latest trends and can do it all. There is always sports on and music on so with the friendly atmosphere everyone talks to each other. read more
