Donna is very knowledgeable and knew the look I was asking for It was my first time with her and will definitely be coming back Parking was easy read more

I wrote my last review of Donna and her shop three years ago, and after seeing a couple recent negative 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. read more

Donna provides a full-service haircut: Scissor cut, wash, neck trim with razor and additional extras if needed (sideburns, bushy eye brows, etc). I tried out several barbers in the area before I determined Donna was the best (confirmed by my wife). You might pay a little bit more, but you get what you pay for! read more

This is the best Barber shop in CDM by far. Newport Barber is located on PCH in the heart of CDM. I have been going to Newport Barber for over 3 years and I have to say Donna is the best, professional, kind, and great at cutting hair. There online booking is super easy... It may take a day or two to get an appointment because she's that good. read more

Took my son to Donna. Called first to make the appointment and she just curtly said, "book online." No pleasantries when we got there, either, and no attempt to make an 8-year-old feel comfortable before beginning. She literally has a sign on her mirror that says, "no personal questions". It might as well have read: "no talking." Figured the cut would be good based on the reviews but despite me giving her specific instruction and repeatedly telling her she was going too short she just kept cutting. Bye bye surfer 'do, hello military. Two stars for the decent short cut (fine if that was what we had asked for!). Won't be back and am really confused by the good reviews here as well as why someone who doesn't want to interact with people would want to cut hair for a living. read more

Get my hair cut here all the time super nice establishment and friendly definitely recommend

Absolutely the best barber I've ever been to. I met Donna B. 4 years ago when I moved to Corona Del Mar and she's been cutting my hair ever since. Not only am I thrilled with my spectacular haircuts, my wife is madly in love with me like we are newly weds because I look so good. If you want to improve every aspect of your well-being and life style, get into Newport Barber for the best haircut you'll ever get. read more

Whether you are a local or staying in a hotel, go see Dona at newport barber. She is skilled in her trade, gives a great scalp massage and you can book online on your iPhone : www.newportbarber.com.

The barber that I have been going to for the last six years is still shut down due to the pandemic. I tried this place out and they were absolutely fantastic. Daniel cut my hair and did such a great job and I also met the owner, Donna who was very kind and professional. I highly recommend this shop. The prices are great too! read more

I called in and booked an apt 2 hours beforehand. I arrived 15 minutes early, they sat me within 10 minutes. My barber was Jeff. He was very attentive to my confidence in the haircut the whole way, stopped several times to make sure I liked the length. That's something you rarely ever see in barbers these days. Feel of the barber shop was Very casual, everyone was smiling, laughing, or engaged in some unbeknownst man-cave conversation. The bathroom was roomy and clean. Would definitely visit again and recommend. Stay Classy Gentleman! read more

Nice place, horrible haircut. I asked for a trim up top that left 2in, he started off well and then just kept cutting and cutting until there was only 1in left. I had to ask for him to stop cutting because it was way shorter than I wanted and he said he was making it even. Overall to expensive and not what I asked for in a haircut. read more

Let's be honest here. With great beard, comes great responsibility. And as a man with an epic beard, you understand the finer things in life. Every once in a while you need to treat yo' self to a little pampering in the form of some beard lovin' cleanup. Donna and Newport Barber fit that bill PERFECTLY. I was in town for a family function and needed to look my best. Since my trip was absolute last minute, I couldn't get in to see my stylist at home before my trip. A few yelp searches and a quick phone call later, I was in to see Donna on relatively short notice and was definitely taken care of. A nice haircut and beard trimming were in order, so going off of my (horrible) descriptions, Donna was able to give me a top notch cut and make some suggestions for trimming up my beard. I was in and out of there within an hour for under $50. My wife even approved. And when the boss approves, you know it was a good job. I would recommend Donna and Newport Barber to anyone. read more

Nice job. Would for sure go back. They took me as a last minute appointment and spent the time to get it right.

Donna and the team at Newport Barber in CDM are fantastic. I've been coming to her for about 1 1/2 years...originally from the old spot in CDM. Their online appointment system is perfect for my busy lifestyle. And when you can add in a beer while you're in the chair, it doesn't get much better. Highly recommend! read more

Moved to Newport from Europe a couple of years back and spent MONTHS trying to find a decent barber in the area. Luckily, I stumbled upon Donna in CDM about a year & half ago and have been a loyal & happy customer ever since! Donna is hands down the best barber/hair stylist I have been too, she's friendly & professional and gets the cut & style I'm looking for just right every time... I'm not sure how I'd replace her if I ever end up moving back to Europe! Would highly recommend Donna to anyone looking for a consistently great haircut at a competitive price. read more

Fantastic haircut. The place is very clean and the barbers are great. I've consistently gotten great haircuts here.

This is a pretty cool place! Scheduled a haircut with Alex and it was one of the best haircuts I had in a long time! I'll definitely be back! read more

Thank you tanya for the haircut. She was amazing and professional, highly recommended .

Everyone knows when you move there are essential things that you have to find. Doctor, dentist, cleaners, and of course a barber. Lucky for me I found a gem in Newport barber. Daniel and Donna are both amazing. So really it doesn't matter who you get because their on the same page and most importantly remember you. That goes a long way. Not just for the haircut but what you discuss in the chair. I'm so grateful for them both and you will be too. Top notch on the high and tight. Thx U guys read more

I wouldn't recommend coming for a beard trim or lining up mine looks very bad and is completely uneven.

Dona and Daniel both provide expert hair cuts. My son and I book our appts for the same half hour. We are in and out with 2 awesome haircuts in 30 minutes! FIRST CLASS. read more

Finally... The haircut I've been trying to get! I keep bouncing from barber to barber and fancy stylists all around the area trying to get someone to help me get the look I've wanted for some time. There've been some good ones, but never as great as what I got from Tanya! At first, I thought she did a great job-but then thought maybe I just got lucky. But after the second time, I know now I'm gonna work with her as long as she's around! Also, I hadn't tried it before, but because I already trusted her, she talked me into a shave. It was incredible! She is gentle and even informative telling me a lot about shaves that I had no clue about. I'll get one every time I go in there now! I am so excited about discovering this place... And about finding Tanya too! read more

Great experience! I booked online and Brandon was on time and did a great job with both me and my 5 year old. Overall amazing and we'll be back. read more

I have been going to Newport Barber for the past 3 years and have enjoyed all of my haircuts there. Donna, the owner, is super kind and always makes you feel welcome. I have to say that my hair is pretty tricky to cut. However, my first time having Daniel K cut my hair was a success. I am very happy with how professional and thorough Daniel was. Definitely will be back to my permanent spot in Newport Beach, CA. I highly recommend it!! read more

Give very good haircut at a very competitive price. Donna is also very personable and provides a shampoo after the cut. Rumor says that during the holiday, she will give you options to get a "nice" or " naughty" haircut. I have tried 2 other barbers in the local area and Donna remains the best. read more

Simply put, Donna is awesome. She is timely, and she really cares about the cut that she's giving to you. I'm now a regular!

Cliff notes are at the bottom if you're not into a good read. First I'll give you a bit of background. There is about half a dozen of us late 20s early 30s groomsmen & groom combo. We're a risky bunch when we're together and turns out we don't plan ahead well either. The motto of this group of guys is "I'm gonna wing it." and that's precisely what we did. We called about a dozen barbers to get our beards and necks/burns trimmed up the day before the wedding. The results? Well, we were called everything but a bunch of white guys and hung up on mostly. The word "crazy" was said to us time and time again. We were down and out; until we called Donna. After we became as charming as a bunch of southern democrats who can wheel and deal, she actually said she would open her store and hour early to get us all in. We were in, and we were in shock. Not only is Donna is easy on the eyes if you know what i mean ;-) but she trimmed us all up and we looked great for the big day. Extremely affordable too. She asked how I wanted my beard trimmed and I told her I wanted the "George Michael special" and she quickly dissuaded me. I'm glad I listened to her, otherwise I would have had a porn star-esque beard with a dangley cross earing at my buddy's wedding. Bride would have been pissed. Google image search George Michael and you'll know what's up. TLDR; Donna's professionalism, skill set, and business mindset not only earned our business but ensured that we will return when we're back in town. Highly recommended as we had great results and a great experience, minus the debilitating hangovers that we were battling from the previous night's debauchery, but that's a different review to write for ourselves. read more

Nailed it!! Tanya is probably the first person to ever get exactly what I was looking for on my first cut with her. Environment is extremely relaxed and both the girls are very nice. They've just added another long time customer as I will definitely be coming back read more

The owner/barber was great. She gave my husband the best haircut and mustache trim he has ever had. She was very professional and friendly.

Donna is awesome.Always remembers me and what I like in a haircut. Hope she did OK during the forced closure.

Tanya is awesome when it comes to giving you what you want. She's got a great personality as well.. I've trusted her for years and she gave my little boy his first haircut. read more

Met Donna today and got my haircut. I'm very happy with how it turned out. I would recommend her to anyone!

Nice location with parking. Donna is an experienced professional. This is a great value. I'll be back!

Donna does great work. Every time I have gone in for a cut I have left more than satisfied with the outcome. With little direction she understands what I want and delivers. Donna's shop is artfully decorated and always scrupulously clean. She has graciously accommodated last minute grooming needs and provided me a consistently high level of service. Donna takes her craft seriously and it shows. She had been the individual responsible for my cuts for more than four years and I do not see myself seeking alternate services in the future. If you're looking for a great cut, in a classy setting, by a real professional, look no further than Newport Barber. read more
