    Omar is fantastic! My husband has been coming to Omar once a month for the last 4 years and he cuts our little guys hair too. Omar is very detailed!! We love coming to him and supporting his business even though we recently moved 45 minutes away, we still drive out for their once a month cut! $30 a cut is cheap for such a quality cut. Thank you Omar!!

    So fresh!

    Omar is one of my favorite human beings not just my barber. Always happy, talkative and friendly. He's also one of the most hard working people I've ever met. Before covid he worked 8am-8pm 5 days a week. And all this while being deaf. The guy is a G, period! Along with being an amazing human he is the best barber in OC. Every haircut I've ever had has been perfect. You can text him anytime to book an appointment and it's only $25 cash when you come see him. Don't ever change Omar, we need more amazing people like you in the world. PS Omar has a wife and 2 kids at home and his business is less than half of what it used to be when it was in Irvine. Run, don't walk to book your next haircut with him. (949) 394-4065

    He cut me & gets a tool & rubs it on my wound. I ask what it was & if he cleaned it prior to using..
    Chris A.

    I've tried this barber 3 times. Here's my detailed experience: 1: He's not safe! - One time he was shaving my beard with a straight razor and accidentally cut a small area. I started to bleed and saw him grab a little tool and rub it all over my bleeding wound in circular motion. I had no idea what it was so I asked him about it. He said it was salt and was good to stop the bleeding. Terrified I asked him if he cleaned the tool or used a new one before rubbing it on my open wound. He casually responds by saying "I rinsed it with water". I thought I misheard him so I later texted him after leaving and he said the same thing. Check the screenshot I included. 2: He's not clean! - He doesn't do a good job cleaning his tools or removing previous customer hairs off the floors, chairs or counters. He doesn't have a big shop. He has a little cube he's renting in a big office space. It's about as big as a small van. It's very stuffy and dirty in there. Every time I went here to see him he had a messy room. 3: He's not organized and overbooks! - He often answered his texts or took calls in the middle of my appointment. I also noticed 2 times that he overbooks himself. He would tell me to show up at a time and would tell someone else also to shop up 15 mins after my arrival and sit in a chair as he rushed to finish my cut in order to take the other customer. This may be a smart move to squeeze more clients in but in my case has resulted in multiple bad experiences due to him rushing. 4: He doesn't have much attention to detail! - Take a look at the image I've included. That's minutes after I left his business and was blown away by how terrible his beard lineup was. I've never had a barber do such a horrible job lining up my beard. The picture doesn't do Justice with how bad the lineup was but my friends who saw it in person joked about how they thought I had shaved my beard myself while drunk. I won't even mention the multiple cuts on my neck. 5: He's not respectful or nice! - After going home and realizing how bad he had messed up my beard lineup I was upset so I sent him a text explaining that he had done a bad job. This I believe is when a respectable business owner would take responsibility, apologize and admit that he may have rushed the process and maybe even offer a discount on the next visit. He straight up just didn't reply to me instead which made me want to share this review here. If you scroll down his page which is mostly 5 star reviews you'll see occasional 1 star reviews which instead of apologizing to he's commented back with rude and argumentative responses. In my experiences of using his services multiple times I don't believe he's a skilled, safe or friendly barber or a respectable business owner. I will not return here and would not recommend him to any of my friends.

    Offshore Barbershop is a whole experience, not just a haircut…read more From the moment I walked in, the ocean‑inspired aesthetic set the tone. The unique tones, surf‑culture details, and laid‑back ambiance make the space feel open, refreshing, and surprisingly easy to talk in. It's the kind of vibe that instantly relaxes you and makes conversation with your barber feel natural. I met JC after a short wait. Please note than this is walk-in only. JC took care of me and absolutely delivered. JC took his time, asked the right questions, and you can tell he really cares about the craft. He lined up my beard cleanly and handled my difficult bald head with precision. I experienced no irritation, no uneven spots, just smooth, sharp work. JC's technique is on point, and the conversation was just as good: chill, genuine, and never forced. What really stood out is how the ocean theme isn't just décor. It actually enhances the whole experience. It makes the shop feel different from any other barbershop I've been to, and it adds to the relaxed, easygoing energy. If you want a great cut, a clean beard lineup, and a place that feels cool without trying too hard, Offshore Barbershop is the spot. JC is the guy to see. My name is Theron D. Sanders, but most people know me as Via, T. Sanders, or most recently: ºt Theronheit. Everything I write comes straight from real life. This is written from my experiences, my perspective, my voice. I don't use AI, I'm not a bot, and I'm definitely not some anonymous keyboard ghost. I'm 6' 2" 210lbs, very real, living life YOLO, positive hemoglobin flowing inside me, and very much alive out here. If anyone needs proof that this review came from an actual human being, you're welcome to validate it yourself. My algebra is (714) 4‑zero‑4 2 5‑six‑six. Holla..

Don't let James anywhere near your head if you value your haircut whatsoever. He didn't even show me the back before I left, but I figured it was alright. He absolutely butchered it so I understand why he didn't bother showing me a view of it. EDIT: I literally shaved my head because of how awful the haircut was so expecting me to ever step foot back in your shop is insane.
