Nathan is the MVP. I won't lie, when I was in the chair and feeling how quick the cut was I was a little worried. He was nice through and through though and that put my mind at ease. And then when I saw my haircut after he was done I felt like I'd just seen a magic trick. I gave him the bare minimum idea of what I wanted and he did it faster and better than anyone else has ever cut my hair. Usually I'll find all kinds of missed spots after a haircut and there was nothing when he was done. I'm a very picky person with my hair and have even buzzed my head if the cut isn't what I wanted. He's the type of talent you want to let everyone know about but at the same time also keep to yourself. I'm obviously going to tell everyone about him though. read more

Nathan is the sweetest guy ever!! Great service & always polite.. Love the vibe as well.."From Mike"

Stew's Cal Oaks is an amazing barbershop. My wife and I happened to stop by with my son to get a haircut for him today and we were greeted promptly. While my son was getting a cut I was asked by the other lady if I wanted one as well. I hadn't originally gone in there for myself but decided to go for it. Wow. One of the best haircuts I've ever had! My son's haircut was phenomenal as well. Thank you both for the amazing haircuts and friendly service!!!! Very cool design for a barbershop as well! read more

Having just moved to the area from San Diego, I had been looking for a close place that could provide good military haircuts. Having received a recommendation from a neighbor, I decided to give Stews a chance; walking in, I felt that I was in the right place as one part of the wall had patches from law enforcement and the military (I also liked the Star Wars and football memorabilia). Nathan, the owner, was the one who cut my hair and he did an excellent job; he was also very personable and had a good discussion on the Lions/Cowboys game (he being a Dallas fan, with me being a Detroit fan). Overall, a great experience and I will definitely be back. read more

Love this crew.... Ive had an amazing experience no matter who is working. Jack us a stellar barber, Nathan is great, and such a perfectionist. Great value overall, great staff, 5 stars all around. You won't be disappointed.... Jack said they're moving in August..... Jefferson/Pear, by Mr Tint, so this won't be "stews cal oaks" for too much longer. read more

Great experience been going there for plus 10 years .. great staff. Very friendly and affordable

We LOVE this place. As a hairstylist & salon owner I'm super picky about my sons hair & it can be difficult to cut. My son absolutely loves having Winona cut his hair. She always does an amazing job and takes her time. She will spend a little extra time teaching him how to style it. He always leaves feeling like a million bucks. Now he won't let anyone else do his hair. read more

Overall, I can't recommend Stew's Barber Shop highly enough. After my first visit it's clear that they care about their customers and their craft. They have created a barbershop experience that's both laid back and offers an excellent cut at a fantastic price!! The two young women working there were absolutely hospitable and a joy to talk with. Their professional attitude and down to earth personalities made the whole haircut enjoyable. From the moment I walked through that door, I felt right at home with decor that hit me with nerd nostalgia and sports memorabilia. This is a welcomed twist that sets it apart from other pricey and overrated barbershops . -Rosembelt read more

I found my new Barber Shop! After going to several barber shops in town and the Temecula area. After price increases that never end, I found a great place and on the avg. 6 dollars cheaper! Ka boom baby!! Nathan is the man! I highly recommend this shop! read more

Always take our son to see Sandra. Great price and always does a great job. Love that my kids can play with toys if we have to wait. Jackson is also great when she's not in. read more

Amazing place I love Nathan he is always in a good mood and makes everyone's a good mood. The barbers here are very good and nice I would recommend this shop to all read more

Been going to this barber shop for two years now. Went there yesterday and received the usual nice haircut and fun conversation with staff (Winona yesterday, but all of the barbers have good personalities and offer fun chat). Good conversation, too. I'll keep going there as this place easily meets my needs, doesn't take long and I always leave in a good mood - smiling! And I can pick up a pizza next door. If you are a male looking for a nice haircut and a good vibe, this is your place. read more

If I could give 10 stars I would. Been going to this place for years and it only gets better with each visit. The highest quality haircuts ive ever had and the staff is a cut above. Great conversation makes for a personal touch and keeps me coming back. The two ladies are outstanding in their effort to make it a great experience everytime. Ill never go anywhere else to talk about kitties and oranges. read more

They did an excellent job on my boyfriend's hair. Very professional and excellent service. Supercuts and great clips just don't compare to a real barber. This place is my boyfriend's go-to now. read more

Since moving to the area this has become my go to barber shop. I get a haircut every week and Jack always does a phenomenal job; if he's not there when I arrive, I trust everyone in there to give me a quality haircut at a fair price. The conversation is always great and I leave a very satisfied customer. They have my loyalty! read more

Polite knowledgeable and efficient ....... I have been in the valley for over 30 years and tried my fair share of barbers and stylists. Cutting hair is an art but listening to your patron is as important as you skill with scissors/razor. Definitely one of the better stews in the area read more

I got my haircut from Nathan today and I must say they have fantastic service. Very personable and welcoming staff. Great haircut for a great price. Thank you! read more

Moved from OC in May, I've been looking for a good, consistent barber ever since. I've been all over town since May trying to find the best place for my son and I. Struck out many times, from the 'big chains', whose names need not be mentioned, to the fancier salons. Still inconsistent, either too short, uneven, or just not the desired result (yeah, so I'm hard to please, at least you don't have to live with me). I found Stews based on recommendations from NextDoor, and it was spot-on. Small 'hole in the wall', which is all I need. Some great sports memorabilia (if you like that sort of thing), very friendly and comfortable. Feels like that 'old town barber' where people would gather, tell fish stories and other one upmanship, just having a good time. Sure, the group there likes to chat about many different things, I think that's what adds ambiance, rather than a quiet library-like place. As for the haircut, I can comfortably say they took their time, asking me along the way if they needed to take more, thin out, that sort of thing. In the end, it's the cut I expected. I'll be back. With my son. An myself every 4 weeks or so. read more

Winona gave me the best haircut I've had in.... maybe ever. The premier customer service I received and the attention to detail surpassed any cut I've had even in salons costing triple what Stew's charges. I'll definitely be back! read more

Excellent service. You can tell they really care about their customers. Highly recommend. They are going over backwards to serve during this Corona Virus. read more

I've been going to Stew's for about 10 years. I consistently get a good haircut and a lot of great, sometimes rather bizarre, conversation (existence of Bigfoot, do animals have souls, and of course sports, sports, sports). Nathan is a constant presence, but the other barbers will come and go, but of course that is to be expected. About a year ago I moved away and tried several other barber shops, but have returned to Stew's for the consistently good customer service. If they are busy Nathan will go out of his way to explain how long the wait will be and apologize for the inconvenience (not necessary, but a nice touch). Try to go on a weekday to avoid the weekend crowd. They offer discounts for military and 1st responders. Lastly Nathan is obviously into sports memorabilia and if you ask he will keep an eye out for something you may be looking for, like an autographed jersey or something like that. read more

Nathan is awesome! Super friendly and high energy! The big draw was the plethora of Star Wars memorabilia. We will definitely be back! read more

Nathan the owner is very friendly and welcoming. You can tell he takes pride in his business and enjoys what he does. He gave my hubby a great haircut and his apprentice did a wonderful job on my son as well. Will be back! read more

I have been getting my haircut at Stew's for the last 5 years or so and have to say, every time I go in, it's a great experience. Nathan is one of the nicest guys I now and we always have great conversation. It's just to bad hes a Cowboy's fan... LOL. read more

This place is so cool. One of the reasons why we chose this place is because my son loves Star Wars and we thought he would enjoy getting his hair cut with all the stuff !!! He sure loved it ! I brought my other son in a different time (who was only a year old )for his first hair cut; he screamed and cried and I felt terrible and uncomfortable but the owner Nathan made light of the situation and he was so supportive and tried to do everything to make us all comfortable. He's so soo supportive to his staff too, he kept telling them what a good job they were doing ( them because two people stepped in at one point ) My youngest even got a "first hair cut certificate " and a clipping of hair. It was adorable !!! The owner has made us laugh every time we've been in!! Once things are opened for a while , I'll be bringing both boys in ! read more

Super friendly, staff is great. Love looking at all the memorabilia, Stews is truly a fixture in the community.

Winona is the besttttt! She knows her stuff and has an awesome personality. I'm so glad I found this place it's exactly what I was hoping to find and feel free to socialize and share a laugh! read more

Super friendly. Winona took her time and understood what my boyfriend asked for. She did an excellent job around the ears and kept checking to make sure everything was ok. He will be coming back. read more

Sandra is great with My son and cuts his hair perfect. She even cuts my daughters hair on occasion and the price is right too!

I this barber shop at Cal Oaks, not to be mistaken with other the Stews shops, is independently owned by the barber Nathan. I have been going to this shop for 3 years now and have always found the shop to be great, friendly and open to all, respectful, reasonably priced, and they do an excellent job! Nathan and his team are outstanding and I highly recommend this shop. read more

I've always received great service at Stews by Nathan and his team. They are not associated with the Temecula shops. Only by name. Don't judge them as if they share the same views. Thanks for your service to our community Nathan, Kelly, Wynona, and even Jack. Haha read more

A friendly shop but messed up my hair even though I explained and showed the pictures of my past haircut, cutting too quick, in and out less than 10 minutes read more

Not sure where to start as I have mixed feelings about this place. If I could separate rating based on quality of the haircut, friendliness of staff and then a different rating for the cleanliness of the place I would. I will start with the staff, I've been here twice and had two different barbers help me, I am sorry I do not know their names one was a gentleman with a beard and the other was a blonde lady both times the haircut was amazing, staff was super friendly and if I could give them 10 stars for quality and friendliness I would. Now for the cleanliness of the place, this is where I have an issue, if I could give it -5 I would. The place was very dusty, looked like no one has mopped in over 5 years or even vacuumed. I took my 3 year old with me and he started playing with the toys and once I noticed how dirty they were I had my wife hold him the entire time because I didn't want him to catch a disease. Then my son needed to use the restroom and to no surprise it was just as bad as the rest. I also noticed that the back room was full of crap and the reason why I am calling this out is because I myself own a business and the number one thing for me is ensuring my staff is happy and that the place is clean, not sure this staff even has a place to relax during breaks and lunches, very sad. Whoever the owner is needs to get their act together, clean the place and you will have a 5 start rating. I might give it one more try just because I love the friendliness of the Barbers and the quality of the haircut, but if the place is still a mess I will not go back. read more

Nathan and Kelly are great. I started bringing my two year old here after my son had a traumatic experience at a children's salon. At first he would scream and cry to get his hair done but both Nathan and Kelly were very patient with him, now he LOVES getting his hair cut! I will definitely keep bringing him here. read more

Worst hair cut ever !!! The blonde women rushed when she saw her other client come in asking for her. She also ruined my the fade, also before even setting in the chair there some one else's hair everywhere that I had to sit in. On top Of that I was left with a Harry neck that i had to shave myself . I definitely will never be coming back here again she obviously didn't no what she was doing. But that's what I get for going to a new barber. Ill stick to my main barber. read more

Stew's barbershop on cal oaks is probably THE best barbershop i have had the pleasure of visiting. The staff there is very professional, extremely skilled, and always make sure the customer gets exactly what they want. Not to mention the awesome memorabilia all over the walls !! I am always greeted with a very welcoming "hi how are you today? Come on in" which makes for a very comfortable setting. My barber Wanona, is my go to barber, always. She does an amazing job every single time and always leaves me looking like new. Been going there for a bit over a year now and will continue doing so do to the great haircut i get each time. Great work Wanona ! P.S. Stew's crew, Hell of a job keeping us looking good !! Keep it up and thank you !! See you next week read more

Nice little barber shop, very friendly staff. but i received one hell of a crappy hair cut that last time i was here. I've been coming here for awhile, but i'm switching back to my $10 hair cut i get down the street from my house. $20 or $10 with tip. ""$10.00"". C-Ya. read more
