My son is extremely picky about his hair, and I am just thankful we found Edwin at the West Coast Barber college. Edwin listened to my son and cut his hair perfectly. Travis, the head huncho, is always helping the students perfect their craft. Great school, and even better future barbers. read more

I wanted to give a shout out to the 4 people that helped me today (6/2/26). My 3 year old son is autistic and cutting his hair can either be easy or really difficult depending on his mood. My toddler was in rare form for his cut and crying. The barbers chair (I didn't get his name) was all the way in the back left. He was so sweet, he had the help of two other barbers. One helped keep my son's head still and the other made sure his movie was playing. All while another girl (she had green highlights) cut my hair. She was kind enough to cut my hair next to my son without my asking and I loved her for that. I appreciated that they both took their time and they were all 4 very nice to us. I know working with a crying kid can be overwhelming and all eyes were on us but the barber took it in stride and his friends were kind enough to help out. On top of that my son's hair looked better than it had his last two cuts at super cuts and sports clips. Thank you all read more

Always good cuts here, the homie Azarrel brings the mean fades. The instructor, Travis is very knowledgeable. The lady instructor with the pretty green eyes is also super cool. I like everyone here ! read more

This place is a school for future barbers, so I didn't expect much given the low price--but I was pleasantly surprised. The facility is clean, well-maintained, and has a great vibe with music I enjoy. Azzarel was my barber, and he was friendly, professional, and easy to talk to. He was meticulous with my haircut, giving me a fade that exceeded my expectations. Well done. This is a top-notch school that clearly trains its students well. Results matter, and Azzarel delivered. Thanks! read more

[I think her name was Julia.] I came to this barber college for a simple cut and when I came in, she was insulting from the start and not welcoming. All I asked for was a simple haircut and not to be mocked. Her conversational skills could've been better. Overall she wasn't a decent person and she represents your business. The same goes for the other girl pictured below who did the same mocking actions as Julia did. I don't know her name because she never introduced herself. P.S. there's something labeled #000 in the picture below, so it's a thing. EDIT: Now someone, by the name of "Jennifer N.", messaged me the following day, who I assume is the other girl or it could be someone else. If it's someone else, not related to the college, then ignore it. I'm just putting two and two together and assuming it's her. It seems to be my word against theirs which doesn't solve much. read more

Once again West Coast Barber College has saved the day! I used to bring my son here but he would cry so much I started cutting his hair myself. My husband gets his hair cut at a California Cuts near his work and they always do a terrible job so I started cutting his hair too (I also did a terrible job but at least it was free). When I scheduled our family photos I was insistent that everyone have a perfect haircut. I sent my husband and son to a local barber who did a good job previously. When they went though the daughter of the barber who had recently gotten her barber license cut their hair. Needless to say, it looked terrible. So I gave them a week to recover and sent them to another barber college in San Marcos (we live in Escondido). I had assumed they would get a perfect haircut like we've always gotten at West Coast Barber College. Sadly, I was mistaken. With only one chance left (their hair was already pretty short) I knew we had to go to West Coast Barber College. So we took a 40 minute drive to get there with our whole family and it was definitely worth it! These guys are the best there is! Perfect haircuts! The salon was clean and everything went smoothly. There was not one issue and they handled all the COVID rules perfectly. Thanks guys! I'm so thankful for all your hard work and amazing skills. I wish every barber went to this school because there are so many not-so-good barbers out there. I completely understand that practice is needed but it's a hard thing when you need a perfect haircut... read more

Went to this school because I just needed a quick cut. I wasn't expecting much for an 8$ student cut but... legit got the best haircut I've ever had. This guy sterling cut my hair and went above and beyond. Exactly what I wanted. Straight razor on the neck. Beard shape and trim. Hot towel. Legit the best cut I've ever had. The guy was chill enough to give me his contact after so I can request him every time. West coast barber shop is the movie the notebook. Sterling is the dude. I'm Rachael macadams. The dock seen where they make out is the haircut. read more

I highly recommend West Coast Barber College to those that want to take on barbering as their profession, I was shown immense support all throughout my schooling whether it was help during a haircut or finding a job for when I graduated. I appreciate the times I was put under pressure because it was all done in efforts to aid my learning and push me to reach my full potential, I'm very grateful to Travis, T and Chris, because they've shown me that they want you to learn, and what they are willing to do to help you understand. I've built many memories and skills throughout my months in this school and it's definitely memories and skills that I will carry throughout my entire career as a Barber. read more

Started going to this spot just to get lined up at first. I usually keep my haircuts simple, however, Danny Caplette was my first barber there and he asked if I would like skin fade down to a straight razor line up. Hell yea why not... Hot towel, beard trim and all!! He did a great job and I have been going back regularly ever since!! Great cut from Danny and cheapest I've ever paid for a full cut and line up. read more

From entrance, greeted by enthusiastic barbers that understood what we're looking for. Given an unbeatable price to provide learning to those in pursuit of a trait that will give a man/woman a fishing pole instead of a fish. This barbershop owned and operated by a local is worth the haircut, price and time. Clean, friendly, great for groups. Wait is minimal, if at all. Thank you, @WESTCOASTBARBERCOLLEGE‼ read more

I want to thank the owner and all the students over this past year for all the outstanding gentlemans haircuts i have received from present and passed students; to name a few Allie, Striker, Grainger, Ela, Brandon, and more to come. I am always complimented on my hair and tell people about the college. A friend told here visiting son from Minnesota last month about the college, he went for a cut and said it was the best haircut he ever had. At 40 years of age that is a great compliment. Also, the students I encountered at my 3pm walk in yesterday greeted me and were the friendliest group yet. It is great that they give each other pointers and compliments. When you go, relax, enjoy the experience, and allow the students to hone their hairstyling skills. Respectfully, Andy read more

Great environment to execute your barber license and come out either changed or with way more knowledge than expected applicable to the barbershop as a barber and outside of the shop with endless support from Travis himself as well as Kenny couldn't have done it without them or the program they continue to consistently run! - Insta: @bw00dzthabarber read more

Fernando was doing his very first high and tight, and was not ashamed to ask for help. This took longer than usual, but the haircut came out looking great. He was also very kind and interested in talking, although he got quiet when he was working on parts of the haircut that needed more concentration--that's good! read more

This Barber college is wonderful! The atmosphere is so great and everyone helps each other. I'm currently enrolled and I couldn't be happier with my experience. The owner/instructor Travis is very professional. He knows his trade, is extremely hard worker, keeps things clean and is always very sanitary. He keeps his students motivated and teaches us more than just barbering, but about our attitudes toward life and being responsible always... Definitely would recommend to anyone looking to start a great and respectable career. read more

West Coast Barber College is an excellent place to get a quality hair-cut in a nice location. The facility is super clean, top-notch and parking is easy. I can honestly say that I have had one of the best haircuts in Oceanside from this place - and I have been to maybe 6 barber shops in the area. The main manager and teacher is always there supervising and provides immediate feedback to his students as well. Come here for an excellent fade! I imagine since this place just opened, it will be busier as word of mouth spreads fast.... but if you are like me and want a quality haircut for a low price... this is your place. I get haircuts twice a week and found a gem in Oceanside. Best Barber Shop in Oceanside! read more

I bring my kids here, they are 4 and 6. Haircuts were always a hassle until we met Cassandra, she is great with kids. She is very patient and really does take her time, I never feel rushed. Her work is superb. Now my 6 year old looks forward to getting his haircut. read more

Had not been here for a haircut since before the pandemic - - - wife had been cutting it during that time (and not that well). Went in at about 10:20 a.m. and they had m-a-n-y students available to cut hair. Shawn greeted me and asked me to sit in his chair. He looked at my existing hair then listened to what I wanted. He was careful, methodical and precise. I also said to him, "If you see something that needs to be done, feel free to do it." (Glad I said that.) Now my hair looks pretty damn good. read more

This place is such a cool spot to get a haircut and give a chance for future barbers to practice.

He was very professional and did an awesome job....and the female instructor (with red hair) was so friendly and informative on helping Sang. Because it is a training school, it did take a little longer, but it was worth it. I give it a 2 thumbs up, and will be going back Cheryle read more
