CJ the only barber at the shop (humm I wonder why???) is completely rude to his loyal customer that's been coming to him for 5 years. Straight up bipolar! Just read the other 1 star reviews! I recommend checking out Hog Nest (Book in advance). read more

There's only one barber here, and there's something mentally troubling him cause he will start cussing and belittling you out of nowhere. It's real life demonic possession vibes.. the first time I walked in for an appointment, he looked and spoke to me with bloodshot serial killer eyes as if I broke into his house or something. And then out of nowhere a switch flipped and he was a normal cheerful dude. The second time, I forgot to respond to the appointment confirmation text, so he texted me personally the day before and I responded to him right away. I walk in the next day and he yells "YOU DIDN'T CONFIRM YOUR F****** APPOINTMENT!" couldn't believe what I heard so I respond "uhhh... what?" He repeats "You didn't f****** confirm the appointment! That's f****** rude!" I turned around and left him there to yell at himself. Don't go here. It's not worth making yourself vulnerable to an unhinged individual like this. He seems to come on here a lot to defend the bad reviews, but don't let it fool you. read more

I've had many barbers, but CJ by far knows his way around a head best. His consideration of your hair type, head shape, and your preferences shows his years of experience. No matter what's going on with your hair, he can make it look good. His vibes are unique in the sense that he's a well-rounded person with a wealth of experience, able to converse about any subject you choose or he will ask great questions. He truly knows have to give you the full barber shop experience. He's always either playing epic movies or has awesome music on. I highly recommend getting your hair lined up by him! read more

Unfortunately I cannot recommend this business any longer. CJ, the owner, still cuts amazing hair and is an incredibly talented barber, but he needs to make some changes in his life because having such a temper that he starts screaming at and belittling customers in the chair is unacceptable. You can be in the middle of a perfectly pleasant conversation, and it's like a switch flips and CJ goes straight into sarcasm and rude personal comments about your character like he knows you well or something. I hope he gets the help he needs before he loses his business, as it seems he's been hemorrhaging staff, as well. The ranting and raving isn't cute or charming, it's increasingly disturbing. Stay away! read more

Been coming here for the last 5 years and have had good experiences for the most part. I usually book an early weekend appointment but needed a last minute haircut and booked the first available, Thursday at 8:30pm. My last haircut was not a good experience nor a good haircut. Bad haircuts happen but a bad haircut due to CJ rushing is not acceptable. As others have also stated, CJ can have an attitude and get annoyed by the most trivial things. I understand we all have bad days, but as a customer with various options, I don't think it's crazy to expect some level of customer service. If you're thinking of giving this place a shot, avoid appointments before close and be prepared for sub par customer service. read more

If you care about customer service, this barber shop is NOT for you. I've been loyal to Pineapples for the past 6 years and enjoyed getting my hair cut by Eddie, who is no longer there. I've then had no choice but to switch to CJ since I have heard only bad reviews about Jordan, who is also no longer there. CJ is great at cutting hair and giving real recommendations to his customers, however, his attitude these days is getting worse and no longer tolerable. To the point, where he is blinded and unaware of how unprofessional he can be and how it is affecting his small business. Yes, I can acknowledge that some of the stuff he says can be funny, but nowadays, he is just rude to customers. Someone who is struggling to keep his business afloat should NOT be rude to any of his or her customers under any circumstances. CJ is a pessimist barber who just doesn't care what he says to his customers anymore. Professional? Tolerable? Absolutely not. I used to enjoy coming into the shop and having small conversations with CJ but for the past few appointments, I found myself contemplating if I should come back again. Yes, CJ cuts hair really well, but I can confidently say that he has picked up a bad habit of being rude to his customers. Currently, CJ is the only barber at his shop with no other employees. Yes, the current economy has affected most, if not all, small businesses financially but that doesn't give CJ the right to express that frustration to his customers. Shows a lot about a man at his age. Unfortunately, I will not be coming back and CJ has lost my biweekly $28 (without tip). read more

They are so rude. I showed them a picture of the haircut I want, they made something absolutely different and when I told them to fix it, they would have to charge me another haircut. The owner is just a trash person. He don't respect his customers. He just told to pay and get out of his place. I was talking so nice even when he was rude and I tried to keep it cool. I asked him to show some respect when he speaks to me not because I'm a customer but at least because I'm a human and I don't let anyone speak this way to me. When I was leaving I was still trying to be nice and told him thank you man and god bless you, he laughed at me with the other female as I said a joke. The worst barber I've ever seen. I would give him 0 stars if I can. read more

Pineapple barber shop is hands down the best shop I've been to in California. The Is environment super chill, They make you feel like family And the cuts are always on point . I really like it's appointment only so no waiting, They take their time and you're in-and-out. You can't go wrong with any Barber, however my go to is Jordin read more

Unfortunately the haircut never happened. Went with my wife on the way to a date. I made it a point to be on time out of respect and he was still working on someone. I thought no worries so we sat. I started to watch how he cut hair and he turned to me saying I made him feel uncomfortable. I explained I was just watching him cut hair. Then he comments about the last minute appointment. Hmm I booked the last one he had open 2 days ago, so ok. When he was finally done I asked him if he still wanted to cut my hair. Is eyes were blood shot and it looked like a long day for him. Then he said JT was only my second cut. I'm thinking what does that mean?!? So I politely said I don't need my hair cut and that he needed a break. The first experience was good but now I won't see him again. He was like a different person. read more

My oldest nephew Aden was happy and got pineapple barbershop. CJ is very professional and carefully to my nephew's hair. The staffs were friendly! read more

Pineapples Barbershop - My nephew Aden likes clean his haircut. CJ is excellent ! - Barbers Near Me - Fullerton, California

This place has gone way down hill. Down to 2 barbers. Both can be really rude. Stay away from this place. There's so many good deserving businesses that actually appreciate the customer. This place does not. The female barber is flat out crazy and believably rude. The male/owner has her back and makes excuses for her behavior. Just stay away. read more

I've been going here for a few years and have had a pretty good experience. That was until Jordin absolutely lost it on me for being 7 minutes late. She affirmed that she is much busier than I am and went on a rant trying to embarrass me. Not sure what she's so busy doing as she finished my hair in less than 25 minutes when my appointment was allotted for 45 minutes. Never going back. With so many options around you'd expect kinder service. Jordin needs to smoke some more weed (if humanly possible) and chill out. read more

I've been coming here for the past year and I couldn't have been more satisfied by their work. I've gotten all my cuts by Liz and she knows my hair way better than I do! Make sure you go to their website: getpineappled.com to book a spot. Cuts went up to $20, but their quality is great. They take their time to perfect the art of styling your hair however you want to. They seem to be renovating the place whenever I visit, which is also very great! They always have music playing and the vibes there are great. I'd highly recommend you check this place out if you're looking for a new barber shop. They're all very knowledgeable and professional Thanks, Pineapples! read more

I don't know what the business owner means by that I was constantly challenged with my appointments lol. Every appointment besides this one I'm awkwardly waiting in this lobby waiting for Jordan. If you are referring to the fact that my appointments aren't always at 7pm every Tuesday of the month - of course it won't be. I work three jobs. The earliest I'll make an appointment is maybe 1-2 weeks in advance. read more

I came here a few weeks ago and this place is not what I expected from a barbershop. I made an appointment with the barber named cj, and when he showed me when he was about to finish my haircut i told him I liked my sides to be a little shorter and he just dismissed it saying that he would have to spend more time on me and that he would have to cut way more of it. He said that this is what I had asked for and he said it in a condescending way. I do not recommend this place as they don't seem to appreciate customers. read more

Rude service but decent haircut. I was only five minutes late to the appointment and tried numerous of times to contact the shop of me being only a few minutes late as shown in proof below. When I arrived, the lady did not even greet me with a welcoming message and just sat me down, which already is a bad message to a new customer like me. Keep in mind, there was no other customer inside, just the lady. When she began cutting my hair, her styling was very aggressive to the point where I felt pain and got bruised on my lower neck (picture below as proof). My scalp felt like someone lit a fire on it then drowned it in ice cold water. At the end, she immediately belittled me saying how me arriving late "messes everything up" and that it's "annoying" but there was no other customer inside nor outside?! Haircut was good but service not so hot. read more

This is an overdue 5 star review of the young lady who works there in the morning. I don't remember her name but she was fantastic, took her time with my hair was very friendly and suggested places to eat around the area. Have to book online though. read more

Pineapples Barbershop - Barbers Near Me - Fullerton, California

I'm faded, faded, faded...my haircut that is. I've been coming to Pineapples Barbershop since they've opened. Located in a small center with a liquor store, Hispanic Bar, and a laundry mat you cannot be more authentic of a barber shop than this. CJ the owner, barber, and good friend is my go to guy for a fresh cut. He is a very talented barber that has put in countless hours to perfect his craft. The most important thing about this barber shop is that they take their time in making sure the customer is satisfied and walking out feeling like family. They accept walk ins but I highly encourage making an appointment because they are VERY busy. The inside of the shop is very clean and tidy. The chairs are comfy and socially some of the best convos are to be had there. They are a very affordable barber with great quality cuts and aren't the hype barber shops that cost and arm and a leg to go to. Be sure to grab your favorite hair product there after your cut. I use suavecito pomade firm hold and highly recommend it! Mahalo CJ! read more

The absolute best place to get a cut around Fullerton! Gotten cuts from Liz and another gentlemen who's name escapes me -- all great. $20 before tip, APPOINTMENTS ONLY. Don't be one of those wackos who walks in expecting to get a cut and then gets all upset. If you want quality work at a great price, you're just going to have to wait and make an appointment. read more

You will love Pineapple Barbershop - if you are looking for chill barbers with skills - if you are a long commuter like me who always come home late - if you don't mind making appointments online AHEAD of time I saw many reviewers complaining how they didn't like the fact that this place is online appointment only, but come on now.. You live in 21st century and if you still have problems using your phones to do stuff, that's your problem. I've been coming here for about 5 months now, and I've gotten haircuts from Jordan and CJ. They are both really good, and they will talk to you and listen to you so you can get the haircut you want. I love the fact that they are open late because I work long hours and my commute is long too so it worked out perfect for me. Even though I haven't received a haircut from other barbers, they are all friendly and heard good things about them. Also, they are on time. I've been to barbers who will make me wait 15 to 20 min even though I made an appointment with them. But both Jordan and CJ were always on time and I really appreciate that about them. read more

Thought id give this place a try and it was absolutely atrocious. Staff was rude and they do not seem to care for their customers as they made me wait for 20 minutes to get my haircut after I had made an appointment and arrived in time. I'll give you some advice, save your money and go somewhere else. read more

Been coming here for almost a year now and I always come out with a consistent haircut. I get my haircut from Jordin because her availabilities usually work with my schedule and she always cuts a perfect fade. There are times where she might run behind (some clients come late or their cuts take longer which can throw her schedule off) but it never ends up compromising my haircut because she still makes sure I get exactly what I want. I've also gotten cuts from CJ and he is great as well. All the barbers seem to have good rapport with all their clients and are a chill bunch of people so you probably can't go wrong with any one of them. It is appointment only, which you're better off doing anyway instead of waiting an hour for the next available barber at another place. This place is appointment only because they're good at what they do. Plus, 20 bucks + tip is a steal for the quality you get here. read more

Great place for a cut and a shave. CJ and Tommy are both very skilled with the tools of their trade and the atmosphere is very welcoming and inviting for new customers as well as their regulars. They take their time to get every detail of your cut just right, down to the last single strand of hair that might have been missed. It's best to make an appointment but they'll still take you as a walk in. read more

I'm a Pineapples superfan. I started coming here since September 2015. The only times I haven't got here between then and now was when I was a) out of town or b) giving another barber shop a try. CJ, Liz, Heri and Jordin each have their own barbering and conversation style. I appreciate all of them and will just book an appointment here: https://getpineappled.com My usual order is an uncomplicated comb-over, sides and rear at skin-length. I continue to come back here because no matter the barber, they are each consistently excellent. In-between checking on length and the look, they often tell stories and swap bantering jokes whilst the music of the day oozes outta the stereo. They are about every part of their work, they refuse pretentiousness to walk in their doors and they have a way of making me chuckle every time I show up. While I know that Pineapples Barber Shop isn't for everyone, I know that it's for me. Francis read more

Love the fact that this place is appointment only. Means no crazy wait times or issues. Never had any issues, and CJ has always worked with me to make sure I get the look I'm going for every time. read more

I show up and clearly the guy is in a bad mood. That's fine, I get it, we all have bad days. I tell him what haircut I want, and the guy starts getting rude with me. He didn't like me asking questions. He belittles you and is condescending. Seriously, who needs this? Look at all the recent reviews, STAY AWAY. read more

I chanced upon this place yesterday, Sep 2, 2014, after coming from the salon where this older Korean lady cuts my hair. I saw her almost every month and she has been cutting my hair for the last 5 years. Unfortunately, her store was closed although her car was there. She called me this morning saying a customer took her to dinner which is why the place was closed at 6:30PM. Not a lot of barbers/hair salons are open past 6pm or 7pm. So thanks to Yelp, I was able to filter out those that are open 'til 8PM, and led me to this place down the same street, Euclid. It had great Yelp reviews, although not many. After last night's visit, I see why they had 5 stars, but being open for just a very short time, they haven't garnered as many reviews as other places. But as busy as they were when I came in, despite being open for only 3 months, means they must be doing something right. And they were nice enough to let me come in even without the appointment. But that meant waiting almost an hour. That hour-long wait would've been so annoyingly boring at other places, but not here. CJ, the owner (who cut my hair) and Tommy were both very friendly and accommodating. With nothing to help me pass the time as my crappy iPhone 4S died on me the first 5 minutes I was here, I decided that this place was a barber shop, which just like the ancient Greeks did within their Polis, had become a public meeting place where men discuss ideas, philosophies, and most especially, gossip. "Men in Ancient Greece would have their beards, hair, and fingernails trimmed and styled by the (cureus), in an agora (market place) which also served as a social gathering for debates and gossip." - Wikipedia, under the word "Barber". In a matter of minutes, everyone in the shop was engaged in conversation, up until it was my turn to be on the seat. I was the only one left and it was 5 minutes to 8PM at this point. Regarding the actual cut - I call CJ the math and science professor. Math because he works with precision. He studies the growth and direction of your hair, the shape of your head, and comes up with ideas on how to approach the cut. Science because his work is systematic. Professor because he'll present his ideas in a very professionally eloquent way, like a teacher showing his students how to dissect a frog. But overall, it's art, because he takes his time with his craft, of which he is a master. For the edges, he used a shaving cream blend of eucalyptus and lemon, which was like aromatherapy. Afterwards, a quick warm towel wrap around your head which was so relaxing. Lastly, he closes by telling you how to style your hair based on the cut that he just did. Both CJ and Tommy are very knowledgeable, accommodating, and very easy and comfortable to work with. We discussed topics from basketball, to business, and to the harsh realization that we were now in our 30's and that high school was a lifetime ago. The result... a clean, traditional but modern, professional look fit for my line of work and an engagement photo shoot next week. In short... SWAG!!! Fate severed a good relationship with the lady who cut my hair, in favor of an even better barber. read more

CJ is a magician. First time visitor and recommended by several friends of mine. CJ also does great listening to your recommendations and also giving his professional opinion as well. I am happy I have found my go to barber in OC. read more

CJ and Liz are highly skilled professionals. It's hard to find people that cut as well as they do and that explains why they're highly sought after. They're also friendly, extremely accommodating, and treat me like family. This barber shop is up with the times in terms of scheduling. They don't take walk ins which eliminates the ambiguity of waiting 30 min to and an hour+ for a haircut at other places. You make an appointment online and show up on time and get an amazing haircut. It's as simple as that. In terms of haircut, they're very adept with their tools whether it be the shaver or fine scissors. I love how they use a real razor to finish off the edges on my taper and then end with a hot towel to complete the haircut. I've been going to CJ and Liz for over 4 years and will continue as long as they're in business. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an excellent barber or stylist. read more

Hands down the best barbershop in Orange County! The barbers are so chill and do an amazing job each time. I've been coming here for about 2 years now and I honestly can't complain about 1 thing. Jordin is my barber and she always keeps me looking fresh. She pays great attention to detail and is super down to earth. I love how she cuts and styles my hair. All the barbers are great here! If you're looking for a new barbershop check out the pineapples gang they'll leave you completely satisfied!! read more

I moved down to Fullerton three years ago, and finding a new barber was a source of stress. I'd been going to the same shop with the same two cats for about a decade, and change is hard as hell. Fortunately, I found the good folks at Pineapples early on in my search. There are a handful of good barbers in North OC, but I've tried a few and have never had a better experience in terms of both cut, treatment, and service than I have every time at Pineapples. I've had a cut from all four of the barbers at this point, and they're all fantastic. And yes, they require an appointment, but their website makes it easy as pie, so be a damn adult and book up before you show up. There's no finer place to get fixed up behind the Orange Curtain than Pineapples. read more

Accommodating is the first word that comes to mind. I met CJ well after his shop was closed, he may have been cleaning up shop or doing the books while I was having a couple of beers next door, and then and I wander in... Me: Hey Bruh, do you cut black hair? CJ: Smiles, and sparks up a conversation after hours with me... After a short discussion I figure I would give CJ a shot. He listens to you, listens what you need. I needed a cut ASAP, as my last barber was no longer available. Crazy that I was talking to him at 9:30 at night and he made special accommodations for me and I was in his chair at 12:15 the next day. Me: You can go ahead and comb it all out, I'm not tender headed... CJ: Smiles, I want to get a good look at your head and scalp before I get started. After good conversation and the age old technique that barbers use of not really letting you get a look at what they're doing until they are done and BOOM! He turns me toward the mirror and holds a mirror behind me so I can get a full view of my bald fade with a smoothed out flat top. Very Impressed. Get back to work and get compliments upon my arrival. Finish the afternoon by going home and styling my new cut. Thoroughly Impressed. I'll be back to visit CJ on the regular, and if you're looking for someone who listens and then styles over the "Say no more" technique, CJ is your Man. read more

I have to give Liz 5 stars. She is meticulous. Both my boys and myself really appreciate that she genuinely listens to what they want (even when they have a hard time explaining it) and then executes it. We couldn't be more satisfied. And their appointment setting system is great and she always is on schedule. We are big fans! read more

Appointment only, no qualms and no waits. Had hair cut by 2 different people so far, and they were both great

Liz is the best barber! She always makes me laugh and leaves me with the cleanest cut!

Super thorough. Liz cut my hair, for the second time, and both times have been awesome experiences. All barbers are super friendly and make good conversation. I've been getting my haircuts at different places, jumping around quite a bit. For the price and cut you get, Pineapples is the best. read more

CJ is a nice guy and cuts great hair, really understands and is able to explain the cut meant for you. The dog he has in the shop is nice, just makes me a little uneasy. read more

We came to this shop excited that it was open late because most shops close early, but we were extremely disappointed with the service. NOWHERE on their website does it say that it is appointments only..the least they could have done is be polite about it. As soon as my husband walked in there, they rudely asked if he had an appointment and he said no, so they said APPOINMENTS ONLY! He asked if there was anyway to take him. It was late and I really don't think they had appointments at 11 p.m, so not only did we waste our time getting there, but they lost us as customers and probably everyone else we would have recommended. read more

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE! The vibe is awesome! The barbers are amazing! By far my favorite place to get my hair cut!

Finally made an account! (Originally reviewed on gf's account) I love this place and have been coming here since mid-2015. Cuts made by appointment are a good deal at $16 but they take their time and don't rush through cutting your hair. I always go to CJ for my haircut. He takes his time figuring out how he's going to cut it and explains what he thinks would be the best cut and the process to how he's going to cut it. He cuts fades like a boss (no pun intended). He knows how to have a good conversation but doesn't yap, and the other barbers seem to be similar in this regard. Because of all these reasons, I'll definitely be coming here for some time to come read more
