I've been going to Chase for haircuts for about two years now, following her through a couple…read moredifferent locations along the way. That alone should tell you something. When you find a barber who actually knows what they're doing, you stick with them. Now she's set up at Sola on Town Center Drive, and the space looks great. The Sola studios have a clean, modern feel and Chase has made the place her own. It's a pretty swanky little setup compared to the usual barbershop vibe. What keeps me coming back, though, isn't just the location. Chase is simply very good at what she does. More importantly, she's honest. If you walk in with a haircut idea that's not going to work with your hair, your head shape, or your general reality, she'll tell you. And that's a good thing. A lot of barbers will just nod, cut whatever you ask for, and send you on your way looking... questionable. Chase actually cares about how the cut will look once you walk out the door and try to live with it. Another thing I appreciate: she actually listens. Unlike many barbers these days who seem to default to the same low-tapered fade on every single head that sits in the chair, Chase takes a minute to understand what you want and what works with your hair. Not every guy needs the same Instagram haircut, and she understands that. She also understands hair in a way that goes beyond basic barbering. Texture, thickness, how it will fall once it grows out, how different cuts behave after a few weeks. That kind of experience makes a big difference. In fact, I liked her work enough that I brought my daughters to see her as well. She handled their hair beautifully, which says a lot because kids' hair can be completely different from adult men's cuts. She knew exactly how to work with their hair type and the results looked great. They loved their cuts. Going to Chase is also just a good time. I come for the haircut, sure, but the conversation is half the experience. Somehow we end up covering everything from Italian culture to surprisingly deep dives into James Bond trivia. Chase has an unexpected amount of knowledge about both. A good barber gives you a clean haircut. A great barber gives you a haircut that still looks good weeks later, tells you the truth about what works, and makes the time in the chair enjoyable. That's Chase.

Chase was awesome, knew exactly what I wanted. Great advice and super cool space! Highly recommend!read more

If you're looking for a simple $30 haircut, there's plenty of options nearby in the SCV like…read moreSupercuts and Fantastic Sam's. We also have several really solid barbershop options as well. But, if you're looking for both a grooming experience and a place you can connect with folks, while you wait with a drink in hand watching the game or news, I highly recommend Hammer & Nails in general, but specifically this Valencia location. After a coworker left a flyer for Hammer & Nails at work and after going through it, I was drawn to the subscription option and purchased into the "classic club" membership. With two boys and a full beard myself, I thought I would definitely apply the services for all three of us, since the membership is transferable. My first service was a haircut for my 9 yr old son with "Q" and it was legit, thanks Q! For my 2nd service, I had an amazing beard cut with AJ, and she rocked it also. During my 2nd service I met the owner, Danita, and she's the reason why H & N gets my highest recommendation. Danita was VERY approachable, friendly and real. As a Marine Corps Veteran, we bonded instantly since Danita is also a Veteran herself. I came back for another beard trim with "Skip" this time, and he is the man, the myth, the legend, thanks Skip, solid! My last service was another cut for my boy and, again, it was a really tight and legit cut by AJ. Thanks AJ! We did have a subscription and miscommunication issue, but Whitney up front in the check-in lobby took care of it and handled everything with class and professionalism. No business is perfect, so if something comes up, the one thing you can hope for is to have the business "hear you out" and try and make things right. Both Danita and Whitney did just that. Loyalty is NOT built overnight, but I'll definitely keep coming back because after seeing how they handled the situation, I'm locked in!

The service was great from start to finish. Starting with the greeting at the front desk by Dora (I…read morethink was her name), the tour of the facilities, and relaxing with a beer while I waited for my appointment. Then the actual haircut being excellent really sold me on this place. Shoutout to Eli who gave me a fantastic haircut (my daughters and wife loved the cut and thought I looked real dapper) and top notch service on top of being a super chill person. Im almost reluctant to write this review because I dont want it to be harder to find availability here, but the folks here really deserve it and I hope this business thrives I intend to be back for my next haircut and booking with Eli again as my go to for getting a fresh cut in a relaxing environment.

I've never had a problem. Yes sometimes my stylist is running a little behind, but that is understandable.

They offer thorough consultations and execute Everytime. Not sure who's in charge of the playlist, but it's always something different and I like it! Good vibes for sure. Only con is the parking.

No explanation and no notice. I guess she can charge her clients whatever she wants and that is fine with me but a friend of mine also goes to her once in a while and she says she charges her the lessor amount. I also texted her several times the last month but she doesn't respond back. I think it is rude when you are running a business and you don't respond back to several text messages or answer your phone. Very puzzling and unprofessional.
