Victor has been doing my dreadlocks for the past couple of years, from the initial installation to regular maintenance. Not only is he a kind-hearted person, but he also does amazing work with dreadlocks. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my hair. His prices are very reasonable, and he even offers house calls, which makes things super convenient. I honestly can't say enough good things about Victor and his ability to care for dreadlocks and provide a variety of hair services. Highly recommend! Creative Stylz barbershop is welcoming and opened up their shop to me with great hospitality. It's spacious and a great environment for getting all your hair needs. One Love read more

Soukaye is the best braider in North County, hands down! Soukaye is very professional and friendly and her braids are fantastic! I've tried various braiders in the area and Soukaye is the best! She can do various styles, including mini knotless braids (Zoe Kravtiz style). Most importantly, her work is consistent and her braids are uniform. I also truly appreciate how professional that she is! And the shop is clean and professional. read more

souke does braids in the back I've had mine done with her 5 times She is quick but that's it. ive Never dealt with anyone that rude before and even with texts about Price and confirming price she will change it whenever she wants and is never consistent. she will also call you a liar when she doubles the price and will try and say she didn't change prices when you have everything documented and texts with her showing the price The same length halfway down my back is now the price she charges me for to the top of my shoulders and she was extremely rude when you ask her why She is the only one who does braids and he rudest person in the building read more

Went in for braids and they did a great job! Very friendly staff, as well. My partner went in for a class shave and can't wait to go back.

I have been coming to creative stylez for over 10 years getting cut by Big O, and I have never left unsatisfied. Great staff and great customer service. I highly recommend you get cut here read more

The worst hair experience I've ever had, I got completely scammed. I first walk in and she never wrote my appointment down so I had to come back at a different time. I also have now spent $700 total on this style which is way above what I should be paying. I got blamed for getting the wrong hair that I spent $150 on but she never told me which kind to buy as all of my past braiders have provided hair for the style. Then she redid my hair and fixed it and at the beginning said she wouldn't charge for the length but it's normally $400, I had already paid $330 the first time which you upped at the chair to $360 because my hair was "longer". I also had to pay for the straight braiding hair the second time which she said was provided initially. I was on my way out to leave and she said I needed to pay half the price when she told me she was going to fix it and not charge me. Now I have had the braids for TWO DAYS and clumps and strands are coming out of my hair and this has never happened to me in all the times I've gotten braids and boho braids and I've been using my same human hair vendor for 5 years and it never sheds in my sew ins so I know it's not that. I feel completely taken advantage of and was never offered any time or refund or responded to. Will not be coming back after this traumatizing experience. read more

Big O did such a great job on my two boys and husband's cuts. He is kind and very patient with my kids. M youngest, who is only five, had his hair butchered by a stylist at Sharky's and Big O fixed him up. My son's first experience at a real barber shop was awesome thanks to Big O. I am confident we found our family barber for life. Thanks Big O! read more

I'm trying to grow my hair out from a mohawk and thought I'd try some braids with extensions to help me through the awkward phase of my sides growing out. I'm so glad that I found this place. Soukaye made my first experience a great one and I will definitely be back. Thank you! read more

My wife let my son go to the shop on his own to help him become more independent. He showed the barber the cut he wanted and got trash as the result. I will never understands barbers that KNOW they can't do a certain cut but still attempts it, the finished product results in a horrible cut and still accepts money from the customer; and in this case an 11yo boy. If I wasn't currently deployed I would be in the shop demanding a refund as opposed to writing a review. Advice, next time just tell the customer that your barber skills aren't nice like that rather than steal a kid's money!! read more

I did a walk in today to get my son's haircut. I've read good reviews about this place and have been in search of a place that can cut my son's hair. My son is biracial and figured these guys can give him a nice haircut. When I walked in I asked if there was anyone available to cut my son's hair. He said he wouldn't be able to but someone else would. He walked outside to an employee sleeping in his car and asked him if he had time. The guy sleeping came in and wasn't the friendliest. I get the feeling because I am Hispanic. My son is biracial and I was looking for advice on his hair also. Long story short he seemed a little ruff cutting my son's hair. During the haircut I asked my son if he was ok. My son said he was fine. But when he was done and my son was getting in the car he started to cry. He said he wished the guy was more gentle with him and he hurt his head. I wish i would have said something to the crack head looking barber. The barber gave my son a sharp looking haircut but sucked with his kids skills. The search continues for a good barber for my son read more

Creative Stylz - The employee - Barbers Near Me - Oceanside, California

Tldr: the shop might be good but Sabrina needs more time. Here's the thing...when I am out of town and need a cut Issa gamble and a game that I play. I don't always have the time to research each shop to get on a good barbers schedule in thr short time I was there. So I found this shop and it had pretty high ratings on Yelp and I was like bet, a black barbershop? Imma be alright. So me and my wife get there on a Thursday afternoon. Nobody in the shop but a older dude who was chilling in the corner and a young eager woman who was more than happy to take me in her chair. They the only two in the shop. Should have been my first flag. I should have insisted the dude cut my hair. I have locs and only needed a line up and small taper to my beard. Figuring once I sat in the chair it would be 30 minutes tops. Let me tell you I was in that chair for near hour and 30 minutes easily because honestly the girl ain't know what she was doing. About 15 20 minutes into the cut I'm wincing from pain on my cheeks ​because she was running over the SAME part of my face over and over. I even tried to bear it because I thought maybe it's all in my head - I cut my own hair and know my way around clippers so though I'm not new to cutting my own hair, I'm not in a barbers chair that often. After awhile I had to shake her hand away and have her stop cutting me with those clippers cause it felt like I was literally getting cut. The dude I mentioned earlier came back in the shop around this time with his lunch and I'm GLAD he did because Ole girl Sabrina just isn't ready yet. The next HOUR was basically her calling him over every few minutes to get advice on what to do next. Let me tell you...when dude took the clippers the difference was like night and day, both in how it felt on my face and how my lines looked. Case in point - Sabrina had been working on my left beard line for a whole 10 minutes and causing the skin to get more raw - old dude came over, took the clippers and literally fixed the line in seconds. Like I said before I cut my own hair and though I'm not in a barbers chair regularly I've been in enough to know better. This was one of the worst experience I've had. It would be the worst cut I've had if not for old dude who had more experience coming over every few minutes to correct Sabrina. With his help the line up came out more than decent, but it took way too long to get there. Here's the thing: I don't want to just bash Sabrina because she was a sweetheart. Conversation was cool and she really did try to address everything I was saying to her. Trust I've been in worse barber chairs where them don't listen and then my line crooked or they ain't oil their clippers or whatever but she definitely did listen and I'm grateful for that. But facts is facts and she just wasn't ready. I definitely think she can be but need more time in barber school. I also fault the more experienced Barber because he said at the beginning that she can take me but bro.‍ After the end I paid the $30 My face was burning for the next day, I had to put Neosporin on every few hours and I had slight scarring. read more

I don't like to dis a local black business but it must be said, Tyson cut my face up so bad during a beard trim it took a week for my face to heal. I can understand a nick or two, I've done it myself, but that's the point, I could have done a better job myself, not pay $35 to get cut up without so much as an apology. This is not so much a review as it is a warning. read more

Oh the joys of finding a barber ‍ and not just ANY barber. But one that specializes in straight line ups and neat fades. One that makes you feel like you're walking into THE Barbershop. This was definitely waaaaayyy down on the bottom of my to-do list. Had it not been for my hands glaring at me every time I went to cornrow the very tight Afro kinky hair that sits atop the big head of my son, I would have more than likely never gotten to it. Thank God and all of His heavenly hosts for Yelp. It SERIOUSLY has been my saving grace these last months in this desert of a foreign place so far north from my ancestral Diego. I know, I digress. My 9-year old has been growing out his hair for almost two years now to get a Samurai cut aka a top not aka the man bun. The dark chocolate chip I gave birth to has the most kinkiest 4C hair. When I say I now struggle with arthritis cuz of that bigheaded-blessing-of-a-no-good-daddy child's hair, I tell you no lies. Between attempting to manage his and my natural hair, cornrows, hair weekends that have lately progressed into hair weeks, I was not about to just entrust anyone to initiate my baby boy into the land where Samurai meets fowhawk and has a baby with a lineup. In walks Mr. Ed. Ring ring... Unknown: Hullo? Me: Hello, how are you? Unknown: Good. How about you? Me: Also good, thank you. I would like to make an appointment for my son, please. Unknown: Yes, hold please. Mr. Ed: Who dis? Me: Hello, this is Susie. How are you? Mr. Ed: I am good, thank you, how can I help you? SBSEG on How to Locate a Great Barber for Black Hair: Rule 1: They have to take appointments (it's a single parent thing) Rule 2: They have to be able to work with black hair (it's a black thing) Rule 3: They have to be affordable (it's a ballin-on-a-budget thing) Rule 4: They need to be a good role model for my son (it's a single parent of a young and impressionable black boy thing) Edward checked all the boxes off and then some. There was a comment that Mr. Ed made on the way out that had me wondering on the type of conversation the two had had while bonding over fallen hair. Tonight as my son prayed, he said, "and thank you God for bringing Mr. Ed to my head, hey that rhymed [focus D], yes mommie. Thank you that he understands my struggle at school and that I like my new hair. Amen." Of course that sparked my interest cuz my kid is a chatty Kath...Tyrone, but he does not often open up with people other than his family about the bullying and racial discrimination he is experiencing at school everyday. Although I am not privvy to the details of the conversation, I do know I appreciate Mr. Ed, for whatever he said, hey that rhymed! (Focus Susie) **Note to Mr. Ed: My son has legit the second worse memory, behind mine. No seriously, if their were an Olympic sport for the worst. memory. ever., We would come in one-two every time. So the fact that he remembered you by the time we got to the end of our day and the end of our nitetime routine, tells me one thing and one thing only...you made an impression on him. We all need to see people who look like us on tv and out in the regular, everyday world. I am so glad my son got to see that today in you. See you soon. read more

Christian gives some kickass haircuts. Made me look like real good and lots of positive feedback from opposite sex.

I took my son here when he was about 15 months for his first haircut. I was nervous to cut his baby hair, but he had some pretty bald balding and his big sis got a hold of scissors and gave him a good hack job on the top. As a white adoptive mama I was excited to find such an amazing barber that I can be loyal to for my kids. And this was just the place! Tyson cut my sons hair and was so much fun. He got my son to give him high fives and fist bumps even through the tears. He gave him an amazing fade and I am so happy with how handsome he looks. Tyson even gave me tips on products and how to style it which i appreciated. Definitely will be going back! read more

Decided to take my 3 year old here to cut his hair, because when I called East to west Cutz they were very rude on the phone. So I called creative stylz and they were nice and told me to bring my son on in. Anthony was great! He took his time on my sons hair and left it exactly how I wanted it! He was great with my son too, very patient. The place is nice with plenty of seating and the wait time was only about 5 minutes for us on a Saturday afternoons This will definitely be my go to for my sons haircut. Thanks again Anthony! read more

First time getting a haircut in Oceanside and was not disappointed!! Walked in around 230pm on Friday without an appointment and was greeted with an open chair by Mario. I showed him a picture of the cut I wanted on my phone (side fade and skin taper) he made it work. After about an hour of putting in work, Mario had me looking clean. Price was $20 for a cut I am completely satisfied with. Will be coming back again in a few weeks to see Mario again! Also plenty of parking. read more

Creative Stylz is an old school barbershop with a modern feel. There are multiple flat screen TV (typically showing sports), and a ton of comfortable seats. While is it's a barbershop typically frequented by African Americans, all races are welcome and many non-blacks stop in to get their hair cut, it's a very welcoming atmosphere. I recommend getting your haircut from LJ. He's great, and worth the wait even if there are few people in front of you. LJ will even set an appointment if you call or text him at (760) 505-6050 read more

My son always leaves with a clean cut from LJ. . Plenty of seating while I wait and they're always friendly. If you're in need of a legit fade, I'd recommend checking this place out. LJ is the only one that cuts my sons hair so he's the only one that I can vouch for. read more

I got my hair braided here by Soukaye. She was very professional and had a gentle touch. I keep my hair natural, and i felt no discomfort when she blow-dryed my hair to detangle prior to braiding. I also don't believe the braids are too tight, so my edges shouldn't be damaged when I take out the braids in some months. I would recommend a friend to get their hair braided by Soukaye. read more
