We have all heard of a "staycation". A shorter version of the same is a "daycation". This is just a fun day in which you see the sites and sounds in your extended local area. Such was my day, In Newport the other day. I visited a friend at his office with a view of the Pacific Ocean and the bay. Both views were peekaboo's however, delightful, and fun. Then I cruised into my favorite fish shop - the Crab Cooker - and got a small slab of albacore with some tartar sauce. Lunch handled! Then I looked at Yelp for barbershops in Newport Beach. Sure enough - Byrd's Nest came up. I read the reviews and all were quite good earning them right near five stars! I cruised in myself to find out more and sure enough, the stylish young gentleman Barber named Josh Ochoa was available and ready to go. I used their app (Vargaro) to check his availability before cruising in. Josh took great care of me, even a slight discount for paying cash, I was cleaned up and ready to go in a matter of 50 minutes. I had a beautiful day in Newport. I would definitely see Josh again for a haircut and a delightful conversation. Fly on into the Byrd's nest and enjoy it. read more

My baber in LBC was off his feet due to a surgery for 5 months. So I had to look for a temp solution. Decided to go south to Newport and made a reservation here.

Awesome barbers!!! We saw Matt Lindemuth who not only was extremely professional but incredibly personal with my pre teen and teenager.

The Byrd's Nest - Mid skin fade with darker corners - Barbers Near Me - Newport Beach, California

I've been coming to Josh Ochoa for about 6 years now, and I honestly wouldn't trust my hair to anyone else. I went through a brief phase of trying to find a barber closer to work, and the quality has never been matched...I realized I was wasting my money, even if it was cheaper. What's been really cool to watch is how much he's grown professionally over the years. His skills, confidence, and attention to detail just keep getting better. Every single cut is consistent, clean, and exactly what I ask for. He takes his time, listens, and clearly cares about his craft. Whether it's a simple fade or style that has grown to match my age, Josh has been consistently on-point. Beyond the talent, the vibe is great -- professional, welcoming, and comfortable. You can tell he genuinely values his clients and takes pride in his work. If you're looking for a barber who's reliable, talented, and constantly leveling up, this is your guy. Highly recommend. read more

The Byrd's Nest made the right move bringing in their newest barber Jessie Knight. Drove over thirty minutes one way to continue to get my haircut by Jessie and left with zero regrets. He can cut all hair types, but specifically gets down with long hair and his german steel shears. Couldn't recommend Jessie enough. read more

Lindsey is very talented! Wonderful beard trim. It's in one of OC's coolest neighborhoods. Friendly barber shop. read more

I absolutely love the straight edge shave I get from Matt Lindemuth ! It's hard to find a good barber and I'm so glad I found him in Newport. He always cut my 9 year old son's hair and is very good with kids . The shop is clean and has lots of street parking . 5 stars read more

First time here today, solid vibes and good service. Came for Jesse, one of their newest barbers, who I had work on my hair in the several months back. I'm coming from Anaheim and his skills are worth the drive. Never done me wrong, and understands I get haircuts every 4 months so he always sets me up in a way where it grows out looking solid. And if you aren't sure exactly what you want, he's a great guy to consult read more

I've been coming to this location since moving to Orange County a few years ago. The atmosphere and waiting area is very clean and some would say aesthetically appealing. Everyone has always been very warm and friendly, Josh Ochoa especially is THE man, he's been cutting my hair for the entirety of my visits to Byrd. He always gives great haircuts and provides recommendations for new styles when I'm indecisive. I highly recommend him and this barber shop, both for locals and visitors to Newport Beach. read more

Josh Ochoa is hands down one of the best barbers I've worked with. He's extremely thorough, professional, punctual, and easy to communicate with, and his laid-back energy makes the whole experience relaxed. I used to live a block away from the shop and now live much farther, but I still make the drive because his work is always worth it. read more

The fact that I will commute from Fullerton to Newport Beach to get my haircut by Jesse should say a lot about this man's skill. I've never had a barber who put so much time and effort into making me feel great about my hair work. His scissor skills surpass expectations and besides his abilities he's just a really chill guy to converse with while getting a clean cut. Strongly recommend Jesse. read more

Matt is the BEST! He's been cutting my boys hair for a few years now and we won't go to anyone else... we love him so much that we followed him when he moved and we make the drive from San Clemente all the way up to Newport in after school or weekend traffic because he's THAT good! My boys not only sit still for him (a miracle in and of itself) but they actually like getting their hair cut now and look forward to seeing him. read more

Josh H is theeeee MAN!! Hes got a great personality and is always kind and welcoming. He cuts my son's hair and he is so good.

Loved my experience at Byrdie Salon! Brian gave me a customized haircut and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. His assistant also did an amazing job with the wash and blow-dry!

I would totally come back--they are so worth it! Highly recommend! read more

55 bucks for a haircut in 30 minutes. Meh. Atleast give me a scented towel or something. Half my hair was a different length from the rest, good thing I'm a pro with craft scissors and had to hit a critical fix at work the next day... Mid. Disappointed and thought I found a new spot :_( read more
