    Been going to Kevin for 5 years and I'll never go elsewhere. He's very detailed in what he does and takes his time. Best barber around!

    Thank you Mike for giving me the best haircuts. No other haircutter matches Mike. He is the GOAT.read more

    Giving one star is a challenge but here we go…read more.. My 16 year old has been growing his hair out for almost two months. He currently has the Textured Fringe. This hair cut was done at another shop but worked well and he wanted the same. All, I repeat all, we needed was a tiny bit off the top and trim up the sides and back. Our barber was KEVIN and we gave him SIX color photos printed out and left at his station of what the cut looks like. I look down then look at my son and he is bald on the sides and the back. The front is long and slicked back like a greaser. Pompadour style. Soooo not what was in the pics and definitely what we asked for. At that point I lost my cool and went to ask what the heck was up? My teen son had tears in his eyes. I showed him the pics and told him what we wanted. The guy said he would fix it. KEVIN BLEW IT! He literally cut the entire top and gave him the Dumb & Dumber! No joke. This is a nightmare my son said while hiding his tears. I payed Kevin and told him that that is the worst cut we have ever got. Two other barbers were watching as I bailed. After I arrived home I got even more upset and called the shop. Gene answered. He said he was one of two owners. He felt terrible and had seen the horrific cut happen. He begged us to come back (we don't live super close) and have him make it right. I agreed. Gene did a good job cleaning up the disaster. He also made KEVIN give me my $$$ back. My son now has a comb-over with a hard part which he did NOT want. But, at least it is an actual style. He is bummed but at least he isn't sporting the Dumb & Dumber. Good grief. Kevin really jacked up my boy and his summer hair. It will take 3-4 months to get to where we were. For a kid that is a looooooong time. Now I am appreciative of what the owner Gene but please learn from our mistake and DO NOT GO TO KEVIN. Repeat - NO KEVIN!!!!!

    This is the exact cut my kid got. So rad for a 16 year old kid. Ask for a Kpop textured fringe and get Dumb & Dumber. Awesome. Thanks KEVIN!

    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.
