Definitely missed the engineering aspect of this. I just got a cut nothing equivalent to the prior mediocre cut. Now headed somewhere else to get it fixed read more

Great experience getting my haircut. The manager who helped me was very caring and attentive. She really took her time and made sure my haircut turned out great. I truly appreciate the effort and attention to detail. read more

They say they train all their employees the same, they do not. Some are much better then others even with the same instructions. Be careful on who you get. read more

Awesome hair salon for all! I'm here every 2-3 weeks for a clean fade and trim, and I've never had any issues in the past year. Even if I did, Sarah and the team are more than willing to own up to it and make it right! Complimentary beer on tap and soda too! Parking usually isn't an issue since it's all appointments only. Definitely give Danckuts a try if you haven't been yet! read more

Had my first cut at Danckuts - fantastic. For my first time, I described my preferred style and they nailed it - probably better than my usual stylist. Great communication throughout by the stylist to make sure everything was dialed in. Haven't had a chance yet to return to see how seamless the tech/photos make the next cut, but others seem to think it works well. I expect it does, the software/notes were pretty detailed. Of course, throw in the beer, arcades, charging stations, treats for kids, reasonable price, easy online booking...it was a great experience. Looking forward to returning. read more

She honestly did an amazing job. Right off the back I knew they cared about what they did and took pride in it. I've found my goto place now and thankfully I live close by. read more

I came into the shop with long hair down to my back and told the barber to cut my hair into an undercut or high taper fade. I provided her seven different photos to work with and told her I want to be able to comb it over. I also told her that I am open to suggestions, to ensure that the cut works. I told her if it does not work for me, then she can suggest a cut that will. She confidently told me she could cut me an undercut or high taper fade. She proceeded to skin fade my hair line so so high that it did not fit the hair length and the hair did not lay properly on the back of my head. I asked her multiple times during the cut if she wanted to look at photos. She never asserted herself one time to discuss and direct the cut. I ended having such a horrible cut that I had to get my hair "fixed" at the Irvine location. It is very upsetting when you are looking to cut off your hair to a style that requires longer hair and the haircut looks bad. I want to thank Gauge for fixing my hair, but I will never come back. If you are a barber, just tell me my idea sucks and we go a different direction. Don't put the customer in a position to direct a cut that you either can't cut or don't think will work. That's is very unprofessional read more

Finally a barber I feel comfortable taking my son to. I'm usually the one who takes my son to the barber since my husband is usually busy during the day, I find the atmosphere in most shops to be a tad bit uncomfortable for me since I'm usually one of the only women. The minute we stepped into Danckuts we immediately knew we found the right place. My daughter works nearby and we were excited to see there was a barber on the same little street. My son has curly textured hair since he's mixed and we find that not everyone works great with the style of hair he likes. He got exactly the haircut he wanted and now he's walking around on cloud 9 because he loves his new cut. This will definitely be our regular spot to make an appt when he needs a haircut, I would recommend this place to everyone, it's seriously such a good vibe. read more

Could quite possibly be the best barber shop in all of ladera ranch. My barber Sean pulled a rabbit out of a hat: blessed my hair. Forever customer here from now on! Worth. Every. Dollar. read more

Very professional and great customer service. You instruct the stylist the type of haircut you want to have and they write it down on the iPad as they execute your wish. At the end they take pictures as reference for your next visit, you won't get the same stylist. Very affordable. And free beer if in the mood. read more

Hi I'm a 28 yo male and came in with long, past shoulder length curly hair. My hair has been challenging to cut and style in the past and always struggled to find someone who can do close to what I wanted. I went to Danckuts bc of their good reviews and pictures and had the pleasure of having Chanlyn cut my hair. I gave her a reference photo and explained what I wanted and she listened to everything I had to say and nailed the cut exactly. Super friendly and welcoming atmosphere and will definitely be returning in the future read more

I love this new idea! I even mentioned it today, actually! Beer and soda while you wait? YES!! And a fresh, fun experience to get your hair cut? I liked it, and so did my 16 year old son. Price was very reasonable and experience was great! Going back. read more

Great local spot in Ladera to get your haircut. Fairly easy to schedule and a great atmosphere where you can have a beer or soda while you wait. read more

I've been going to Danckuts in Ladera Ranch for 2 years and they have always given me an amazing haircut. All of the stylists are excellent. I've never had a bad haircut from them, ever. They use software and photos to save the haircut for the next time. It's great because I don't have to describe what I want if I get the same cut. Oh, and beer, root beer, and video games are there for you while you wait. It's better to book an appointment online if you can. It's super easy. read more

Interesting concept with photos and exact measurements. Love my 1st cut. Will definitely try this one again.

Surprisingly good cut at a competitive price. Unique experience and a good, quick cut.

Pricing is just a tad more than the average barbershop but that extra $5 is well worth it. The barbers feel more like artists in the sense that they know & care about their craft. I pretty much let the guy cutting my hair decide what to do best, and my hair has never looked better. The whole system they have behind it all with appointments & having a set style for your hair on profile is very efficient too. Also they have beer & soda on tap and a very clean well lit environment with plenty of seating which makes waiting feel like lounging. All and all am def coming back again for my next cut. read more

Friendly staff and AMAZING stylists! They have this incredible technology they use to build you a haircut and use it to record your haircut to get the same one consistently from any of the stylists at any of the locations All the employees are so incredibly nice! From making the appointment, to showing up and getting ready, to actually getting your haircut. The process is flawless and makes you feel so comfortable. Zac does an AWESOME job! He truly cares about each customers experience. He gave my son a great haircut! The store environment is rad with old school video games and local beers on tap for the adults/parents and soda on tap for kids. Make sure you make an appt in advance! Definitely worth the experience at this place! read more

Took me last minute, cleaned up real nice and was super quick. Thank u Johnathan! He was cool and we talked travel the entire time

Words I would use to describe my first cut at Danckuts: efficient, professional, accurate, affordable. I rebooked my next appointment in the chair. Happy to have found this shop. Rachel did an excellent job. 10/10 read more

This was a great haircut (and beard trim)! My stylist was very communicative, making sure to check in with me all the way through. I love the idea of keeping pics of the finished haircut for future reference. And, even though I wasn't thirsty, I really appreciate the offer of a drink while I wait. I'll be back! read more

Have a upcoming wedding to go to, so I had to get rid of my Covid/WFH hair because I'm in the groomsmen party. Decided to try out a new spot not too far from me because this place is appointment only. That I love because I have little time to spare playing haircut roulette and wait an hour+ to get a cut. Showed up on time and got in at my appt time without issue. Grabbed a quick IPA on the house an sat down with Sarah to get a cut. Love their system of recording the cut because I always have issues understanding and communicating what cut I want. Asked for reco as well during the process and was pleased with the results. My wife complimented the cut when I got home. So if you want a good cut, a happy wife, complimentary beer, no waits, friendly stylists, and a dummy proof system of getting the same cut, set up your appointment online now. read more

Friendly staff and nice environment. I've been coming here the past six months. I like that they schedule conveniently and send reminder texts to confirm. Their haircut engineering allows for you to get a very similar haircut every time without having to re-explain your cut every time. They take pictures of you after every cut and do a good job of quality control to make sure their cuts are up to par. Definitely going to remain a regular here. read more

Great to have a this local place to get a haircut. Draft beer and a rinse are awesome extra perks.

My husband has been a Danckuts customer since we lived in Irvine long ago and was elated when this one in Ladera opened up much closer to home. Since then, we brought our 2 boys (2&6) for cuts and they loved it as well. The girls were so sweet (and patient with my youngest) with them and they loved the lollipops and video games. Oh yeah, and my husband enjoys the service too read more

I've been going to Danckuts for years now, and it's the closest thing I've found to Cheers. Ted Danson doesn't work there, but if he did, he would give you a great haircut because all of their engineers use the same system. Each cut is documented with measurements and photos, so no matter who cuts your hair, you can expect a consistent cut. Staff is super friendly and they've got water, coffee, and even free beer while you wait! read more

See all

I had a great cut from Sarah, who I just found out is the queen of Ladera Ranch. Awesome place to get your haircut.

I've been going to Danckuts for about a year now on around a monthly basis. Appointment process is super simple, free drinks when you get there, always little to no wait time, and then we go right to the profile with photos and records of exactly how I usually get my cut - can't beat all of those conveniences! I have had several cut my hair there, and all very professional as well as helpful with advice when i want to make any changes. With my most recent experience, I was part of their QA process, where my cut was reviewed and critiqued to ensure everyone there "measures up to their high standards" - very impressive! read more

Finally decided to try new shop after being at same place for 15 years! Went to Danckuts in LADERA and got the best haircut I've had in decades. Not a joke and I was shocked at how well thought out this franchise is using tech, adult beverages and frankly cool barbers to pull it off. Highly recommend. All my boys had the same experience. read more

Danckuts has the feel and vibe of your local barbershop without the waiting, inconsistent haircuts, and has easy to use interfaces for appointments and payments. I appreciate and enjoy the fact that I can come on time, get my cut, and walk out after some fun banter with the regulars and employees. I've been to all their locations and walked out with a same cut everytime during my 4yrs in South County read more

I have been a Danckuts customer since the very beginning. One of the reason I keep coming back is it doesn't matter who the person that is cutting my hair. I always get the same great cut I ask for. I got to check out the new space and enjoyed all the extras it had to offer. A beer before and a root beer (for my sweet tooth) after. I can't recommend them enough. read more

Great cuts that always have me looking fresh. They are always consistent and quick and do a fantastic job. Glad to finally have a spot in Ladera. They got drinks and beer to sip on while you wait too! read more
