You get what you pay for, get a fade by Brian pay the rate and you'll be surprised at the looks you get. I live an hour away and drive over. Not only that if you're willing to pay a bit extra he can squeeze you in early or late if needed just have cash ready. Vibe is great we blast music and talk high frequency. Brian is my barber and CJ is a beast as well. HIGHLY RECOMMEND read more

The Fade Lab - Haircut and the aura it gives by Brian - Barbers Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

My son has been getting his haircut here for about 2 years. Vince does a great Fade. He will not get his haircut anywhere else.

Booked an appointment at a certain time, A day before my appointment I get a text from the barber doing my cut asking for I can do it earlier. If I would I would put it earlier but I can't change plans a day before the appointment. I get there 10 mins before my appointment started and he's still cutting someone's else. I had to wait there for a good 25 mins before he called my name. I showed him a video of how exactly I wanted my cut cause on their website they charge $55 for on point exactly how the picture or video is. I was very unsatisfied with the cut came out. It looked nothing how the video/ picture was. What a waste of time and money cause instead of talking a lot... you would've paid more attention. read more

Great quality cut. Found this barber shop on yelp not too far from my place and decided to give it a shot. I will tell you right now I was not disappointed. Friendly barbers, Dante was able to deliver on a quality skin fade, even on all sides and cleaned me up nicely in a pinch of time. Highly recommend The Fade Lab and will most definitely be back for another. read more

Hands down, best barber shop. Living in the IE makes it difficult to come down to OC but I can not find a barber with the same skill and talent. Plenty of parking in front of the building and in the lot across the street. They have 2 location and are located at the end of the business building across from one another. It's suggested to schedule an appointment using Booksy app. They do accept walk ins, but it may take a while to be seen since these guys are usually booked a few weeks in advance. These locations are ran by 2 brother Christian and Miguel. They offer a number of services such as fades, tapers, beard trims and just about any other style you can think of. They'll leave you looking picture perfect. Christian AKA Ceejay is my go to barber and I've been coming to him for 11 years now. The vibe these two brother and the rest of the barbers here create will make you feel welcome and comfortable. They have a few sofas in case you have to wait, a large flat screen TV, and some cool art. If you're in the area and want to look your best I would highly recommend The Fade Lab read more

The fade lab never disappoints. I book with Brian who has fast and excellent service. Easy to book on the app. Will be back.

Very hard to find people that do work you like especially in hair. Sometimes you have an image and it comes out the exact opposite. Now after visiting Ernie I got exactly what I wanted and now I'm going to be a customer for a long time because of the work he has done. He only did a beard trim for me ( next time my hair and beard) and did exactly what I asked for and shaped my beard to look fuller and at the end my beard came out perfect. Thank you again everyone at the shop for an awesome time. read more

I got my haircut from Tony and I must say, a true professional in the art. I am typically frightened when trying a new barber so I'm very specific how I want my haircut. He was a super cool guy, was very detail oriented, and cut my hair exactly how I asked. They seem to specialize in skin fades which I might try out next time since I usually just get a 1.5 high fade with a trim on the top. Either way my haircut passed my expectations. Would definitely recommend read more

I want to keep it short and get right to it and say do not book any appointments with "Vince Fades!" He's unprofessional will not show up for his appointments.

Can't handle anymore walk in so why are you guys advertising walk In?! Why are you SPONSORED? You guys are wasting money advertising and waiting my time calling. Smh learn to promote your damn company and if you can't handle the business then find another trade. read more

This place was recommended to me by my brother who is a regular patron. Samantha Wild did a great job with my niece's curly hair. She was really happy and already wants to come back :). Really creative and friendly folks. Keep it up! read more

This place is a joke if bad customer service. I called there shop to ask if there open at 6 pm because yelp hours were until 7 pm they said yes we are open. I showed up around 6:20 pm and waited for the first available after 40 minutes of waiting this clowns ask me if I had an appointment man what a waste of time. I can understand that you are probably tired from a long day but you have to communicate with your clients. Your clients are what keeps you door open. I will make sure to let everyone that I know to stay away from shop. read more
