I have been getting my Haircut by Cesar for over 20 years now. There is no one else I would let touch my hair. He is professional and very good at his craft. The shop is awesome, there is always parking and the other Barbers are super cool. Thank you Tangiers for the epic customer service you provide. read more

I've been coming here for years, and it's always been a great experience. The shop has a welcoming atmosphere, everyone is friendly, and the customer service is outstanding. They've even been flexible and accommodating with last-minute haircut requests, which I really appreciate. If you're looking for a clean, professional haircut from a team that genuinely cares about its customers, I highly recommend this place. Be sure to ask for Cesar--he always does an excellent job! read more

These vatos all think their shit don't stink. This place used to be the spot, hip and busy. Now it's empty with lots of empty stalls. Hard pass. read more

5-Star Review Tangiers Barber Shop is hands down the best in the business! The service, atmosphere, and attention to detail are second to none. Every time I leave, I know I got one of the best cuts around. A special shoutout to my personal barber, Cesar. He's an absolute professional, takes his time, and consistently delivers the perfect cut. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my hair. If you're looking for a great barber shop and an even better barber, Tangiers and Cesar are the place to go! Highly recommended! read more

Tangiers is the only place I'll get my haircut in OC. Cesar has been cutting my hair for 20+ years and my boys' hair for 10+ years. The other guys in the shop are great, too. Can't recommend this shop enough. read more

Ask for the Danny special;) sure leaves you happy at the end. I've been coming here for years. My guy is Danny but all the guys there are always friendly. Place is clean and cold drinks on them. Check them out read more

Just the service I was hoping for. For years I use to go to another shop in CM that is closed these days. I did some research and found out that Tangiers is exactly the place I was looking for to get the cut and service I was used to. read more

I was recommended to this barber by a close friend, and since my son is only 3 years old, I was a little nervous about how his haircut would go. Our barber, Danny, went above and beyond to make my son feel comfortable the entire time. It's already hard enough to keep a toddler still, but Danny's patience, kindness, and care made the outcome even better than we expected. The staff was so friendly, and the atmosphere was very welcoming and inviting. I highly recommend bringing your little ones here, especially for their first haircut experience. Thank you again, Danny! read more

Been seeing Danny for years! Every time he knocks it out of the park. He's very detailed and has such an easy going personality. He's popular so book soon! read more

To the owner: I'm deeply saddened by my experience at your barbershop today. As you can see my neck is completely butchered. I implore you to prohibit your employees from smoking marijuana on the job. It's not just unprofessional, but your paying customers are getting injured. I will not be returning, and encourage you to reach out with a refund of my $45. read more

Sierra is the best that's all I gotta say. Chill environment all the Barbers there are friendly and helpful

So, I walked in for my appointment and said. "I'd like to get a fade. You know, about so long on top [indicates about an 1/2 in with thumb and finger] maybe a number four [tilts head questioningly] down to skin or a zero." After the cut, I asked "This hair is all one length. I wanted a fade. What happened." My hair is now about 1/8th in long. He replied, "You just can't see it because your hair is salt and pepper." I felt my head. He replied, "Well I can take the bottom down more but it will be short." So after a total of an hour and a half, I ask "So how do I get a cut that's longer on top and tapered down to the skin?" I point at the guy next to me as an example. He says, "Oh tell them you want a comb-over so you can lay the top hair down." I felt sorry for the guy and tipped him but I really wish I hadn't. His bull and gas-lighting tactics don't sit well with me. read more

Kevin is great! I come back again & again. Cool, talented dude! I highly recommend him!

Ive been coming here for about 2 years now and my experience has been great. I followed Sierra from another shop and travel from the South Bay 3-4 times a month just to see her. If you're looking for a traditional barbershop vibe with classic and new haircut trends, give Tangiers a shot. Book Sierra in advance because she does fill up fast. read more

Michael does a fantastic job on my high fade cut, recommend! Shop vibe is solid, dogs welcome!

Booked several days in advanced with Eduardo. I show up 15 min ahead of my appointment and only after 11 do I realize the guy isn't even there. Then speaking with him on the phone he blames me saying he tried to text and call, but I never got any call or message indicating it was Eduardo trying to reach out. His only attempt is described below. The guy texts me saying "hi antheny" with out any introduction or indication of who it was or why they were reaching out so I took it as spam and deleted the text. Then I get another text randomly the day of saying "??? Your appointment is cancelled". No calls ever. When I explained to him that he should introduce himself when sending random texts he just says "your appointment is cancelled bye". I can't speak for the other barbers but would not recommend booking it Eduardo. read more

It's very hard to find a new barber when you have one that you know and trust with your hair! Unfortunately my barber moved and I had to go around random hair cut places just to get a cut that was nothing special. I found Tangier's and thought to give it a shot and was definitely NOT let down! Made an appointment easily through yelp as I just shot out that I needed a haircut and someone texted me back availability. Awesome! I setup an appointment and came later that week. The shop is in Costa Mesa and very cool looking and clean with a retro vibe. I met Danny who asked me exactly what I wanted. Told him what I was looking for but since my hair he grown so long some of it was difficult to see like where my old fade was. Showed him some recent pics of what my hair was like and he took it from there. Danny is an absolute perfectionist which is a good thing to have as a barber! He gave me the perfect cut I needed and gave me all the pampering at the end like a hot towel and after shave since I asked for a close fade. Danny was very awesome to talk too as we talked about random stuff like traveling that made the time go by fast! Will definitely be coming back here for Danny! read more

Matt was incredible! I'm someone who gets a cut every month or two, and got my hair cut by Matt a couple weeks ago. The best cuts I've ever gotten have always continued to look great weeks later, and I'm still so confident and happy with the way my hair looks after visiting Tangiers. He put so much time and effort into It. I will say that you should set aside an hour or two when visiting, but it is absolutely worth it. They put a great amount of effort into their craft, and make it worth your while. Great conversation, relaxing experience, and one of the best haircuts I've ever gotten! Thanks again, Matt! I will be back next time I'm visiting SoCal from ATL! read more

I scheduled an appointment here on Yelp. The day of my appointment the barber texts me to ask to push my appointment to a later date. When I showed up at the later date at the agreed upon time, I was asked to wait over 30 minutes. Once I got into the chair, the barber spent more time texting on his phone than he spent cutting my hair. I was completely ignored. The television was so loud, I was unable to successfully communicate with the barber what I wanted. The haircut ended up fine, but overall a very awkward and awful experience. read more

Fix your booking app. I came in confirmation ready on Yelp for 12. My barber is 20 minutes late. I check back the confirmation is gone, probably cause I checked for it 20 minutes after he was supposed to be there. I checked the reviews, other people had this problem. So you guys should fix this ASAP. Thanks for wasting my time read more

This place is a joke, they book me at 4pm, and acted like they weren't even aware that I was booked. Keep in mind I'm a first time client. They end up double booking me, unorganized, unprofessional and no sympathy for doing it. They asked me to wait 30 minutes, I know haircuts take much longer and am on a tight schedule. When instead they should've just made their regular client wait and start business off with a new client on a good note. I'm typically one to tip well if business is good, not how I would run my business. Left a bad taste in my mouth the way they treat their first time clients. Won't be back unless they can acknowledge their mistake and make up for it. Edit: also not happy to support this place since the owner seems like a sarcastic prick when replying to all comments. Glad business is well enough for you to act in such a way, wouldn't be me. read more

I've been following Damien around since he started cutting hair, when he was an apprentice and at other barber shops before tangiers. He's always had a lot of talent, but at Tangiers he flourishes. The environment at tangiers is next level, all the barbers are clean, stylish, and friendly. The products that they use have wonderful aromas and your hair always comes out looking great. A few months ago I told Damien after 4 years of him cutting my hair that I was trans. I didn't know how he would react, but he was so chill about it, more than even some of my friends. He doesn't treat me any differently than he did before, just changed how he addressed me and used my new pronouns. I'm really happy with how welcoming tangiers has always been. Sometimes old school barber shops can be a little hostile to women and members of the LGBT community but not Tangiers. It's all good vibes and quality care. It may cost a little more than your standard haircut, but you get what you pay for x2. It's totally worth it. I highly reccomend this place, and Damien especially. read more

Maybe just my guy... but probably not good business to make people with appts wait 15+ minutes for there scheduled appointments. Chris C, Things you aren't: -A doctor -A dentist -Good at telling time -English grammar "...taking the time for us to review us" WTF??? Seriously...be better -Responding to reviews. It only took you 10 days for a reply...seems about right. Hope you cut hair better than anything from the above list. Free Pro Tip--if you need more time to cut hair and disinfect then schedule appointments accordingly. read more

Great shop, great vibe. My barber Mike was excellent. His attention to detail is very impressive. He made it a memorable haircut. Highly recommend. read more

I'm new to the area and went to Tangiers barbershop. I saw the reviews and gave them a call. Got a hold of Rob, and booked a time to show up. Hands down best decision I've made since moving in the area! I am a bald guy, but I care about my beard. Rob is the man when it comes to making men look good! Super friendly, and down to earth guy. Very honest, and not pushy! Wore a mask the whole time so I felt safe due to Covid! I'm going to be seeing Rob on a regular basis now. Super excited to find a great barber shop near me! Very clean shop, that has that nice barber feel. Also Rob shaved me up, and did a nice hot towel over the face. Thank you Rob! read more

Got my mop chopped off by Michael Ponce and I feel like a new man! Thanks again and I'm happy to have found a new barber for a long time coming. read more

This place is super laid back and very accommodating to your needs. This was my second visit and I'll definitely be back! Love the vibe here, not to mention, they are meticulous when it comes to lining up the sides. The first hairdresser I had was Daniel and today's visit I had Michael, both were extremely detail-oriented and neither of them made me feel awkward for preferring not to talk the entire time :) I have to be fully engaged at my day job so to have a haircut where I don't have to engage with anyone and I'm not made to feel awkward for not talking is always a plus. Love love love this place! Thanks Daniel and Michael for the great cut! read more

Great barbershop! The vibes are immaculate & the barbers are great at what they do! Definitely recommend making an appointment rather than walking in but once you find your barber, you'll never go anywhere else read more

Tangiers is awesome! They have the best rated Barbers in Orange county. So with the combination of great barbers, good people, good laughs, and precision cuts .... you can't go wrong. Do yourself a favor and come check out these five star barbers! read more

I have been going to Tangiers Barber shop for almost 2 years now and thought I would finally leave a review. I have been getting my haircut at several different places throughout the last 35 years here in Costa Mesa, from Supercuts to different salons and now, I stay with Tangiers. I had heard that it is a " guys" place to go and a unique experience, and it did not disappoint. Upon arrival, the shop has really cool decor with a very eclectic mixture of art work with a Mexican- goth saloon type vibe to it and great music playing. You are greeted usually by one of the barbers and are offered an adult beverage, if you would like, while you wait. The shop is small, but that adds to the entertaining banter between the staff. I have had a few different barbers, but my favorite is Robert. He is always very friendly and does an amazing job cutting my hair! It is reasonably priced and I look forward to going there for a great cut and fun experience. I would highly recommend Tangiers! read more

Sierra is great. She cut it exactly how I asked and made my first time here very relaxing. Thanks

I came here for the first time today. The barber is a true artist. The shop is really cool with old school chairs. Just FYI make an appointment and you HAVE TO ENTER from the back. read more

I barely leave a review on yelp but this one I had to. I cannot recommend getting a haircut with Michael enough. He's the most professional barber ever. His attention to the details is extraordinary! read more

Great service and great haircuts I would recommend The people are so nice Only downside is how long it takes but that's normal for a hair cutting business read more

Can't recommend Michael and the service at Tangiers enough. Made me feel at ease my first time there and took the time to actually listen to what I wanted. The vibe is cool and the fridge is always stocked with a variety of refreshments. Perfect for sipping on while you wait. They're always busy and from what I can tell the barbers do not rush appointments so plan not to get started on time. Personalized service is a plus for me so not a biggie. read more

Tried booking for this week, they are fully booked for the week, so I requested an appointment for the following week which was stated to be fully open but they won't book a couple days out to the following week. He requested I call back on Tuesday when they restart their schedule, when he could of added me too an appointment for the following week but refused too. read more

If you want an absolutely quality cut, this is your place. Rob took care great care of me, gave me the best suggestion of my hair that any barber has ever given me. He literally saw that every other barber had been cutting and styling my hair in the wrong direction and the suggestion really shows! The boy knows what he's doin, I'm tellin ya. And the cats as chill as penguin feathers do yourself a favor bruv, get down here read more

A really nice, relaxing place to get the haircut you want. This was the first haircut I had after COVID & was experiencing significant hair loss. The barber did a fine job of rescuing my hair, which was starting to look like a Doc Brown hairstyle. I was pleasantly surprised when he offered me a beer before the haircut. Only a couple things - They do charge $40 or more for a haircut, in addition to anything else you want done. This is about double other local barber shops, but then, you get what you pay for. Also, you have to pay in cash, but they have an ATM in the barber shop ($4 surcharge for withdrawing cash). read more

Cesar and the guys at Tangiers barber shop are the best. Cesar is a true master of his craft and I always look my very best after his haircuts and styling. All the guys there are friendly and welcoming, and provide top notch customer service. It's a proper barber shop where a guy can just relax, and be a guy. That's a sign of a great barber shop. read more
