THE barbershop that I frequent. Convenient location, fair prices, & a true barber experience. I personally go on Wednesday, the wait time is short/minimal between open & 3:00PM. The hot foam/razor treatment at the end of the haircut adds a nice touch too. Many guys are particular about their haircuts or barber, as am I. Take it from me...you won't be dissappointed with Strait Up. read more

Strait Up Barber Shop - Gabe's Chair - Barbers Near Me - Brea, California

5 Stars all the way for this shop. My first visit here and man, the place is packed. They have 4 barbers and all 4 had customers waiting. That is a good sign that they have good barbers, and even though I had to wait a bit, my philosophy is if the barber shop is busy, that's the place you want to go. It's kinda like a good sushi restaurant, the busy ones have the freshest seafood! I got my cut from the owner Stacy, and he knew right away without me even tellin him, how I wanted to have my hair cut. I went with a fade to a Clark Kent cut on top, which in the past has been a tough style for any barber to get right on me. Stacy hooked it up nice and proper. I could tell he was very experienced with my type of hair and even gave me some tips on how to keep it under control. Don't mind the whiny 1 star reviewers, this is definitely the place you want to go to get your fade done right! read more

We love Stacey! Not only is he my neighbor and an excellent human being, but his shop is fun and they are very good with kids, namely my 3 year old son who was terrified to get his hair cut. The next time we came in, they had a giant bucket of transformers for him to play with. Stacey even had a brand new toy for Toys for Tots and let my son open and play with it, and said he would get another one later. Stacey and his guys are extremely patient with kids, and do whatever it takes to get the right cut, working with the movement of the kid. Also they cut my husband's hair and he always looks sharp!! Cost is good compared to other places as well. Cash only. Thank you for everything Stacey and crew! read more

Great cuts from good people. My family has been coming here for years. The clientele is everything from seniors to kids and everyone gets treated right. I like that they keep a list so if I need run a quick errand I don't lose my place in line. Give them a try, they'll make a customer for life out of you. read more

Awesome place. The guys know how to provide great service through their friendly attitude and sweet cuts. I've been coming here for a couple years now and I've never been disappointed by their work. read more

Waited about an hour to be seen before just walking out because my name was never called. Understandably it was busy, but I was told the wait time would be about 20 minutes. There was no order to the barbers calling names and I saw people getting called that came after me. read more

Been coming here for about a year now and Love this place, not for me (a mom) but for my boys. Allen is GREAT. My oldest (17) had just been getting his head shaved for years, finally Allen talked him into an actual style and it looks GREAT!! Allen is also wonderful with my 5 yr old squirmy guy too. Allen has consistently given great cuts to both my kids. Yes, there is a wait, but that leads to, places with long waits have a lot of customers for a reason, because a lot of people like them. We will continue to go back and use Allen for both my boys cuts, when you find someone and somewhere great, you stay with them. read more

This is what a barber shop is supposed to be! Yes, it was very busy on a Friday afternoon, but what do you expect? All the barbers were friendly and ribbing each other as well as the regulars. It was my first time, and one of the regulars had brought in a 12-pak for what he knew would be a bit of a wait. He immediately offered beers to everyone. It's that type of place! The TV's were all set to the Yankees game - the only one on at the time, and immediately switched to the Angels for the first pitch! Most importantly, Stacey, the owner, cut my hair and did a great job with what I gave him to work with! The charge is reasonable, too! I'll definitely be back! read more

Bottom line, good old fashion barber shop. they cut hair, take care to do it correct, so the customer is happy..they can be busy, so show up early as possible !! from JOE, STACEY, AL, AND GABE...they all rock. read more

Definitely worth the wait in the $23 for a clean shave you just got yourself a new customer

This place is awesome! I went in to shave the side of my head. It had a great vibe and everyone was friendly when I walked in. I am sure everyone is good but I recommend Brian. He provided excellent customer service. I was in and out quickly and the person he was helping before me seemed happy with his service. You should check it out. I know it is good because there were people waiting on a Tuesday morning. I heard it gets busy on the weekends but it's first come, first serve so when you arrive just sign in and request Brian (or whoever...but you should choose Brian ) read more

Great cuts! long line at times but if you go on Wednesday or Thursday the lines aren't as bad. every barber there does an amazing job!

Strait Up Barber Shop - Look up. Lol - Barbers Near Me - Brea, California

See all

Ideal and classic barbershop. Professional but friendly. Stacy, the owner, greeted me the second I walked in. Very reasonable price for the location and overall it was a great experience. There are TVs, so waiting is easier, and once they get you in the chair, they usually get you out fairly quickly. read more

It doesn't get better than Stacy and his crew. The vibes in this shop are good and each one of them can cut your hair exactly how you want it. Shout out to the bearded barber in the corner always playing the weird music. I think his name is Chancla I'm not sure that's just what everyone seems to call him. read more

Great place to get your haircut and talk about sports. They have four barbers. Gabriel, Stacey, Alan, & Rowland. They are all great barbers, very friendly, and provide consistent quality cuts. I really recommend this place. I've been coming here for about 4 years btw.. read more

The first time I went they F....d up my Mid-fade which was simple and I broke out in hives and rashes which broke out in severe acne. The 2nd time was absolute BS the older man cut my head 3x and gave me a skin fade cause he knew he f....d up which I asked for a simple mid fade again. The next day I had to go to the hospital because my whole head broke out in hives. Basically they don't clean there blades. read more

Best barber shop ive been to. All the guys are supremely talented and nice. Andrés (plugs and tattoos) is the man, he truly has mastered his craft. Worth the wait, and if you sign in you can go run errands or eat and come back. There is a relaxing so cal/classic barber shop vibe. Awesome banter between customers and the barbers. Awesome, awesome, awesome. read more

I've had my boys get cuts here since my last review and they've sat in every chair with every barber. We've put up with the wait times because I really think the cuts are some of the best in the Brea area. The issue that won't have me coming back is the total lack of professionalism from the barbers. The cussing and disgusting conversations that the barbers have with each other is out of control. I'm not the only parent in that shop and on my last visit, there were other kids waiting and listening to hardcore cuss words. This was not an issue before Stacey had the renovation done. It bums me out because I think Stacey is a really great guy and was always super nice to my boys. Unfortunately, he's allowed his newer barbers to run their mouths and make this place trashy. read more

Best place in town! All the barbers do a great job. Very friendly atmosphere and a old school experience.

This place is the shit. All the barbers know their thing. Roland gave me a haircut that upped my pussy percentage getting by at least a solid 26.5%. read more

I yelped this place and took my son here with high expectations because of the positive reviews. Despite the recommendations, this place is Not kid appropriate, I am not an overly protective parent, but I cringed several times because of the barbers conversations amongst each other (not from the patrons). Like many barber shops, this place does not offer appointments; however the waiting time is BEYOND excessive (1 hr 25 min). The barbers are incredibly slow. I have never been to a barber shop with such slow barbers. The cost for a child's hair cut here is $18; which I feel is a bit high but I am more than willing to pay for if the cut is exceptional. I paid the $18, and tipped $7 without really looking at it from afar. I sat in the chair waiting from a short distance. My son seemed pleased and that's what is important. However we went straight to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory and as I sat directly in front of my son, I noticed that his hair line that squares his forehead was completely off, one side higher than the other. It was very obvious. Also, I noticed that his hair was not even near his ears either. When he turned around to walk in front of me, his hair line was crooked in the back as well. I ended up straightening his entire hair line at home with my peanut clippers. Worst hair cut he has ever had in his life, and considering that it cost more than most of his hair cuts; makes it more disappointing. Since then, I have met another person that goes to get his hair cut here and I've learned that the whole 'no appointment' thing is just what they say and apparently they take clients off the waiting list when they 'feel like it'..... also disappointing. I do not normally write reviews but I felt it was necessary. I have never seen such a vast difference in a 4-5 star review establishment vs reality. Maybe the barbers need to cut back on the drinking while working, learn how to be professional, and how to cut.... straight. read more

Really disappointed. Last time we went, one of the guys said to come back in the mornings as they are quieter so we did. Unfortunately the two guys in there had an adult cartoon on with multiple shouts of 'fuck you' and 'you're a pussy!' And 'fucking idiot!' My seven year old was with me and they made no attempt at all to change the Channel. We waited around ten minutes and nothing changed so we left.. not a suitable place to get your kids hair cut. read more

Been here a couple of times and always got a good hair cut. But those hours are a bit weird for the service industry.

The Best barber shop in town. The wait takes a little time, but if there was no wait I would be a little concerned (Why aren't people here?). Plenty of sports to watch while I sat down and the banter between the barbers and the customers make it worth it. Once you sit in the seat you get a great haircut. The guys take a lot of time making sure that they do everything perfect (probably another reason you will wait). I could have gone somewhere that didn't have any wait time, but that would mean that no one else goes or that they rush the haircut. read more

Didn't know they only took cash so after 20 minutes of waiting with my kid we left. I guess the reason they don't post a "cash only" sign is to obviously scam the IRS. We ended up going to the Asian lady across the street. read more

Blown away by the Friendliness and the haircut, Stacy is a great guy and did and awesome job with my hair it was a mess when I walked in. Really appreciate the great cut and the conversation will definitely be back! read more

It's a great place to come and talk sports, it reminds me of a barber shop you would see in a movie it's a mans shop. There always up to the latest styles and trends and really friendly guys. Every barber here is really friendly and makes you feel like a regular even if it's your first time walking in the door. read more

Strait Up Barber Shop - Barbers Near Me - Brea, California

Stacy was a great barber, very clean skin fade and when I asked for a high fade, he gave me a high one, not the unsure mid fade with saying it's high enough. definitely will be back read more

Been going here for years and I love it. Great dudes, friendly atmosphere, and--of course--killer haircuts. I'm a customer for life.

$18.00 to get the back of my head nailed by clippers. While a simple buzz-cut took 25 mins cause he decided to chat it up with his coworker. Not to mention the guy was on a pretty big rush from what I hope is 10 redbulls. The haircut itself was horrible. Sides were uneven and the fade going up were even worse. Needless to say this place is not for everyone. What I mean about that is, if you're not friends with one of the barbers don't bother going. read more

I love this place I'v been getting my haircut here for about three years it's like a second home to me the guys are really great too
