Best place to get a haircut. Wouldn't recommend anywhere else. Friendly staff, and I always walk out looking great

I've been going to Danckuts for over a year now and love it. The vibe is great in the shop and in the chair and I get consistent haircuts every time due to their hairkut engineering, regardless of which barber I get. Although, depending on the barber, there are still some very slight variations but other than that, very consistent. They will always ask you if you'd like any adjustments as well. Jessica, the manager is amazing and will often QC work or do corrections herself. read more

Consistent haircuts, good people, and no long lines or waiting around all day. Online scheduling is easy.

Been going here for 8 years now and can't recommend them enough. There's been some hiccups along the way but they've always strived to make things right in the end. Great customer service and great atmosphere with the staff and establishment itself. While they do accept walk-ins, setting up an appointment is best and advised. read more

I've decided to give Danckuts since it was local and seemed to have good reviews. I booked an appointment online and was greeted nicely by staff and vibe of the space was cool. When my barber began my haircut I was asked what I wanted and I needed my sides cleaned up and the top trimmed. During this time I was shown my hair progress ONE TIME and it was to show the mediocre job "fading" the sides. Moving towards the top of the hair I was told "I don't know what to do with your calic." That's fine since Asian hair is difficult to cut but I trust your judgement. I finished my cut and wasn't shown the back of my head nor given a mirror to check the sides. Later that day I washed my hair and tried to style my hair as usual and noticed my calic wouldn't stay down or conform to its shape. I checked the mirror to find that it has been completely mangled. There's not much I can do at this point other than let it grow, or cut my hair short. Do I think Danckuts is bad? Not necessarily. I believe their system of logging clients haircuts and not creating favoritism amongst their staff is great, but it comes with a caveat... your barbers need to be of equal skill. read more

TL;DR Great place to get your haircut and you always get the same cut (if desired) each time. Scheduling is a breeze and they have beer on TAP! Me: Male with a short parted hair style. I typically go evenings on a weekday. Haircut ($35): They use a high tech system (I'll probably butcher explaining it), to "memorize" your haircut. On the first visit you explain the desired haircut, and they have a picture book to help you select styles on each part of your head (sides, front, back you get the idea). After you select your style they cut the hair and then log the process. Basically you get your haircut saved and every time you go back, no matter who is cutting your hair, it's the same. Every. Time. I get my haircut once a month and it's always the same! I am a male with short hair and my haircut takes about 30 minutes with a wash. They take photos after each visit to ensure their guarantee of satisfaction. (This is from memory I highly suggest going to get the full information) Scheduling: If you are like me, and take a "set it and forget" approach, they schedule your next appointment right after your haircut. I tend to go monthly (gotta look fresh) and never have scheduling conflicts (no chairs available). They also email you a reminder AND text you the day before AND two hours before you appointment. I tend to forget when my appointment is so the reminders are nice! I have cancelled one appointment and it's really easy. No obligation from my experience. I have made a one off appointment (online, very easy and I believe you can call but it's 2022 so websites are my choice). Atmosphere: The shop is clean, brightly lit, and welcoming. They have a beer tap in the waiting area and chairs with a TV. I enjoy the waiting area but, sadly I rarely get to use it since they are so dialed in with their appointment system. They have non-alcoholic drinks along with canned alcohol beverages. Best part? It's free! Well, included with your haircut. The music playlists change each time I go but it's always good music, this is subject to taste but I haven't had a bad experience due to the music. Staff: Great staff, sadly my memory isn't the best and I forget names but everyone is very friendly, attentive, and caring. You always feel welcomed and invited to ask questions or suggestions. Every stylist / barber takes their time cutting your hair. All in all it's a great place to get your haircut, especially if you want the same cut over and over again. I personally haven't switched styles but they do ask each time and I can't fathom them not providing the same service if you change styles. read more

I've been coming here for almost 8 years and they've never disappointed me. Even if I wasn't a fan of my haircut, they would do their best to get it the right way. If you're a first time customer, they make sure they recognize what kind of hairstyle you're looking for and will adjust as they're going just to make sure it's right. It also helps that they can mimic your same haircut after the first one to any barber using their technology. read more

What a unique approach to the haircut cut industry, they truly have brought technology with the haircut experience. I couldn't be happier with danckuts they always provide a awesome haircut no matter what hair stylist is on the task due to their state of art approach with following noted steps on their platform and documented photos they take after every haircut. Keep up the good work team danckuts! read more

I have been going to Danckuts for 1.5 years now and I have enjoyed every visit. Jess, Gage, and the rest of the crew do a fantastic job giving consistent quality haircuts. I like the fact that every customer has a digital profile with their haircut style, length, and notes saved on their iPad system for future visits. The most special part of Danckuts is that I leave the shop feeling good about myself not only because of my clean look, but also because of the great conversations and laughs I share with the barbers. Overall the atmosphere is very welcoming and can't wait to be back in 2 weeks, thank you! - Francis :) read more

Solid, consistent, high quality spot Their system to store the type of haircut done is unique and works. Recommend this to anyone looking for a great vibe, awesome people, and with in the end a great haircut time and time again read more

第一次体验还挺有趣的，虽然剪发是一个非常本土化的体验，我担心剪的很差，但结果还不错。 1）不会像国内洗剪吹，先洗。而是直接喷水开剪，看看长短满意不。同样，也不会细细的剪后洗，而直接水冲，头发茬还挺多。糙，也很美国，不过理发师小哥还比较沟通，加上带了张之前的照片，最后还原度60-70% 2）预约，checkin，进屋，可以喝水/咖啡/啤酒。 3）用了个系统来统计不同的剪法，外加拍四张照片。但看其他点评，其他人还是比较难还原的。不过这个是这家店的卖点/成本控制方式了吧。 4）35刀+小费，还好啦。 read more

Man... I've been coming here for a long time, 10+ years. They get "the Kut" right the first time, change it up from time to time, and even go back in time to see what was done historically. I enjoy coming here. Everyone is cool, a great vibe, they're professional, and it's a no hassle process. Easy, fast, reliable, and great atmosphere. I moved to the LB area and still make it out, it's the only place I go and trust. read more

I've had over 85 haircuts at Danckuts and have always been totally satisfied. The work is consistent and friendly. A great experience. Highly recommend. read more

Great place for a haircut. Friendly staff =) Have to make an appointment before, and you don't get to request your hair stylist, but they use a proprietary system to get consistency from person to person. read more

I've been going to danckuts for a while, and they have this interesting 3D comb mapping thing that keeps my haircut consistent no matter which stylist I see. It's a cool modern setup, and the place itself is really nice and relaxed. It's definitely become my regular spot. read more

I had a rocky start a couple years back with a few average haircuts. However, after a few tweak, this was fixed. They are doing an absolutely consistent and satisfying job. The staff is friendly and fun, truly some good people there. Keep up the good work and energy. It's really appreciated! read more

Not accommodating at all, opened late and can't take me in because the appoints started coming in for the next time slot, and I was a a little late. I even contacted them prior to let them know. Unprofessional and I would not recommend dealing with the headache. read more

Received a great haircut today by Joey who did a excellent job seeing what I needed and providing exactly what I was looking for. Highly recommend Joey if you're in the area and need a local barber. Great vibe in the shop: clean, family feel and drinks if you'd like one. read more

I've been a Danckuts customer for over ten years, and every visit has been exceptional. Danckuts consistently delivers exactly the cut I ask for, with an unwavering commitment to quality and attention to detail. The service is top-notch. The vibe in the shop is always welcoming and relaxed. I can't recommend Danckuts highly enough. If you want a quality cut, this is the spot. read more

I like everything about Danckuts that's why I am giving 5 stars. However, the only complaint I have is that an option is not given to chose a preferred barber! I would like to see Joey every time I am making an appointment because he's doing an awesome job and cutting my hair exactly how I want it. His attention to detail and him taking his time is was I appreciate the most. read more

Awesome team, very innivative, totally takes the varience out of the process. Same great cut everytime!

Talented and friendly stylists give great and consistent kuts without even needing you describe your haircut enabled by their homegrown software/platform. Scheduling, rescheduling, and check-in are all easy and self-service via their software/website. Vibe is relaxing with modern/industrial feel with complementary beverage being a very nice touch. Danckuts is fantastic. This is where you should be getting your hair cut. read more

Sarah is the best!!! Love the positive attitude and her heart to make everyone that enters Dankcuts feel well taken care of!!!

I'm a sucker for tradition and coming to Dankcuts is one of mine. I started coming here when the doors first opened and have never even considered going anywhere else. Doesn't matter who you have the privilege to work with you will leave satisfied. I recommend Dankcuts to anyone who wants a consistent haircut at a fair price as well. read more

Cool vibe in the store.. but not a great haircut. My hair cut is uneven on the sides and my wife had to cut a bunch of little hairs on the side that the stylist missed read more

Danckuts - Uneven hair cut - Barbers Near Me - Irvine, California

I have been going here once a month since 2013 when it was just Zac (the owner) cutting hair. His attention to detail and determination to deliver quality cuts has been prevalent from the beginning and has only increased with each added team member over the years. The culture he has created is evident in his employee's eagerness to provide perfection and ensure each customer leaves happy with their decision. I am not surprised at all by the success of Danckut's. They have reimagined the art of cutting hair (mixing art, science, arithmetic, and personal touch) by crafting a universal standard haircutting language for all employees to follow and creating a unique profile for each customer, ensuring that whoever cuts your hair will have a history of every single time you've been. I always look forward to my haircut each month and do not regret the past decade of haircuts. read more

Been going here for a little over four years, and it is consistently super chill. Love the vibe here. Everyone is friendly and a professional at their job, and they always make sure you're satisfied with your cut before you leave. Their system of using a database to log your preferred cut, allowing for any member of the team to cut your hair just how you like, might seem strange or unorthodox, but I've left satisfied with my cut every time no matter who I got. read more

I struggled to find a great haircut until I came to Danckuts. In fact, my wife will only compliment my haircut when I come here. I get the standard skin fade and it always comes out fresh af! I like the professional set up and the staff has been awesome. They offer drinks such as sodas, coffee, and beer while you wait free of charge! Make an appointment and check them out! read more

I moved to Irvine in 2019. I was worried I wasn't going to find my go to barber. This place has easily been a great spot. I love their system and their barbers are always great. Sometimes you might get one in training, but Jess will always fix it up for you if needed! read more

All this talk about tech, but at best, they give a subpar haircut. Just look at the pictures and judge for yourself.

Three years ago I was referred here by a coworker and i tried it because it was different. It isnt a salon or a barber shop so don't worry about running into ladies with curlers in their hair or men getting a shave. But you will get the best of both, from friendliness and a skilled haircut. I normally wouldn't wait too long to review a local business. However unlike restaurant dinning, essential things like haircuts are usually self explanatory. But today I experienced something which requires me to share. Over the course of 3 years I've had the opportunity to have my haircut by the best of Danckuts. Hayley,Lauren,Rochelle, Brittany, Zach and others that are newer but their names slip my memory. Each time they would offer advice and over the course of 3 years my hair would evolve into something that made me unique and comfortable. It speaks to the level of patience, understanding and the ability to let their craft shine. I always have seen haircuts and hairstyles as artwork. The way a fade looks airbrushed from the contrast of light to dark and the style of some haircuts that requires hair products and blow drying. It's the reason why Danckuts is different. They will powder you're trend to make you feel like you're haircut is the best in the room. My last visit was embodiment of what makes it so different. The hairstyle that I had that evolved over the course of 3 years no doubt was not something everybody was comfortable doing. And it was becoming more evident that my haircut was remorsefully given. I understand it was different and it was perfect almost every time. However this visit was the visit I was told I couldn't continue that hairstyle any longer. Due to the changing of the staff I was told it is becoming too difficult to be able to train others to be able to efficiently carry out the style of haircut. And they offered to do it one more time and then between now and my next appointment figure out what I wanted to change my hairstyle to or sadly find somewhere that could do it. It was unfortunate, but it's not a big deal. Hair grows until it doesn't. I appreciate them being honest and helping me because a haircut is essential. And the you lady that took care of me also took the time to go through the haircut with me and show me the different ways it could be. So I referenced back to when I first started going there in 2018 and I said well I didn't mind how it was before and I If it makes it easier and keeps my haircut consistent then I'm fine with that. And the fact that they take photos of each haircut when you visit was extremely helpful. Because we all are vain but not to the point where it should make you lose your humanity in your patients and understanding. So we changed it up. It was also the longest haircut I've ever had It was almost an hour. But that's your shows the level of patience and the desire to provide exceptional service similar to a salon. Because they want to make sure you leave happy and that you look good and you feel good. Also during my haircut there was a gentleman that arrived 20 minutes late. They took him anyway which was very kind. However when the next appointment came in they were inconvenienced due to the gentleman tardiness. The manager empathize with the customer that was waiting, an the gentleman that was late popped off in a rude way. He said something along the lines that he's close with Zach and even if he was on time they still couldn't help that customer that was being inconvenienced. It was uncalled for and disrespectful. He was arguing the fact that because there was no available seat open that his tardiness was irrelevant. He could have just been happy that he wasn't turned away or asked to reschedule. Because I've been late and I've rescheduled it with no issue because if you're late you're late. That's a personal problem and it shouldn't be forced on the employees of the establishment that you are wanting business from. But through all that she kept her cool. She was calm even dealing with a grown man and his petulance. At a barber shop that gentleman's stupidity, selfishness and arrogance wouldn't fly. But he would fly out the door. Hahaha. But the level of customer service and professionalism sets them apart from other haircut spots. They make sure you have a comfortable visit each time. And although the drinks are free you come back for the haircut and customer service they provide. read more

Danckuts - 3 years of growing my hair and evolving into this cut. Sadly I can't rock this anymore. - Barbers Near Me - Irvine, California

This is a tough one because I love the shop, the concept but to be honest the hair designs are inconsistent and at times can be rather disappointing. You can always go back and they'll try to fix it for you but sometimes the only way to get rid of the dumb and dumber look is to shave it all off. With this in mind, the only way to know if it's good for you is to give it a shot and experience it for yourself. Customer service is good and when they do get it right your hair will look good. Every time I come in for a cut, I come in looking like caveman and when I step out, my hair does look better than before I walked in and at times did they achieve what I wanted, no, but I do look better than when I walked in Don't be scared with all the bad reviews. read more

Amazing cut ! Amazing service ! Just wished we could choose our own barber ! Concept is cool but choosing your own barber is

Be careful of new faces if you're a returning customer. Beginner lady destroyed my hair. Never go back again.

In and out in no time when you make an appt which in my case was same day so it's very convenient to schedule an appointment. Though the personnel is changing constantly, the end result is always the same cut as before, if it's what you ask. They document real well all changes and it works out great because the consistency is guaranteed. I recommend this place; $35 a cut is a good deal here. read more

Took my son here and treated for a "professional" cut since he just graduated college. They did a great job. Also trimmed his extremely bushy eyebrows. Not much more expensive than Super Cuts which always seems to give the same buzz cut. Recommend. read more

Jessica went above and beyond! Haircut and service was excellent! She did a great job and I'm really happy with my cut!

I left the shop smelling good and feeling great. Sarah gave a great cut. As you already know, it's hard to find a great barber but she delivered such a great cut. I was asked a lot of questions and she explained somethings I didn't even know. Super friendly and I felt great there. Did you know they 3D print their combs? They don't hurt and gives them a great cutting edge. Definitely coming back. Thanks Sarah read more

I've been coming here for at least seven years. Best men's haircut in Irvine or OC, no matter which location you go to.

After 8 years and a lot $$$ spent with Danckuts they can't keep me away! The best team + the best technology = the best haircuts. They even make booking your haircut super easier. Online, sms txt, Yelp, or if you are like me - you just come every 3 weeks like clockwork. Thanks Team Danckuts!!! read more
