We've been going to Blend Barber for the past 3 years, and it's always worth the drive from Costa Mesa to Lake Forest. My kids refuse to let anyone else cut their hair besides KEVIN and CHRISTIAN we love them! They're both amazing with my 5 and 10 year-old boys, always patient, friendly, and never rush the haircut. I really appreciate that they always ask if everything looks good before finishing up. I highly recommend Kevin and Christian. They're the best! read more

Awesome location, great service, and a modern vibe with good music and plenty of parking right in the heart of Lake Forest. Big thanks to Louie for the outstanding customer service and an amazing haircut! Louie is a well-known stylist in town and always takes care of his clients with real skill and professionalism. It was great to reconnect with him again at this awesome barbershop. He's the kind of professional any shop would be lucky to have and should definitely keep around! Thanks, man! Luke is thrilled with his new haircut, and we couldn't be happier. Highly recommended! read more

Roddy is the GOAT!! Went in here based on a recommendation from a friend and I was not disappointed. Roddy was thorough when confirming with me what look I wanted, goals for my hair, etc Bro masterfully cut my hair exactly how I envisioned it (when my past barbers failed). It immediately got the vibe that he knew what he was doing and has a lot of good experience. Roddy killed it, can't say enough good things about his skills. Highly recommend! read more

I'm really hesitant about what barbershop I take my kids to because the stigma of neighborhood barbershop environments is true, most of the time. Faint Blends is an exception to the rule! I've taken my son here numerous times and there's never explicit music playing, never inappropriate conversations (around kids), always sports on TV, and everyone is super polite. The actual cutting skills are top-notch. My son has gotten some really trendy haircuts from Danny and Christian (Flaco Fresco) and they're always on point. From mid fades, tapers, burst fades, line ups and crazy designs - they can do it all. Thanks Danny and Christian for always keeping my son fresh and always bringing chill vibes. read more

Found this place not to far from my acupuncture clinic and thankfully it was not too far away from my place. Took my kid yesterday and we walked in without an appointment. The wait was about 10-15 minutes, not too bad for a weekday late afternoon (5pm-ish). Our barber, Leo, did a fantastic job and we couldn't be happier. Will definitely recommend this place to anyone who is in the area. read more

This was the first time we'd been to this place, and it will be the last! My son was so excited to arrive on time for him haircut. We showed to the barber the picture of the haircut my son wanted four times. You know what it's like to grow your hair out with the hope of getting the same haircut as your favorite soccer player? When the barber finished, my husband asked him to trim a little more off the top. When they got home, I looked at my son and asked why they hadn't cut the hair on top? We paid for a service that wasn't done properly. Now we'll have to go somewhere else to get my son's haircut fixed. I do not recommend this place!. ‍ read more

This is a great barbershop with some exceptional barbers like Brett. Great haircuts for kids and adults.

I get it. Barbers have their good days and bad days but goddamn. I'm not even gonna to put bro on blast. But yeah, I'm not coming into this spot ever again. That's the difference about legit barbershop and places like this. If the other barbers had unity like a brotherhood like it should be they wouldn't even of let me walk out of the place looking like this. That's why this place gets a big L as a whole. read more

I moved to southern Orange County a couple years ago and I've been to around 15 different barbershops. Anthony at Faint Blends Barbershop is the best barber I've come across. He is super detail oriented, friendly, and talented. It's a great shop and there are other highly skilled barbers there as well (Chris is also really good). I'm usually super busy and so being able to book appointments online a couple weeks in advance really appeals to my lifestyle and makes this my favorite barbershop. read more

Came in with 15 minutes left without an appointment and was turned away and was told I could come tomorrow.

Took my sons to Faint Blends Barbershop for the first time, and we had an amazing experience! Danny was attentive, kind, and made sure my boys were comfortable throughout their haircuts. We've been searching for a reliable barbershop for a while with no luck, until now! The cuts were clean, the atmosphere was great, and we're so happy to have found our go-to spot. Danny did an awesome job, and we'll definitely be back. Highly recommend! read more

Called and asked if there was an availability and they said yes. I asked to lock me in 25-30 min drive and they said yeah you're good come on in. I get in and I gotta wait because they had other walk ins? What a waste of time. Beware if you're someone who values your time this isn't the place for you. read more

Moved to OC and found this gem. The guys create a friendly environment here when you arrive. Been with Flaco for 3 years now and couldn't be happier! read more

I came here from a shop that charged $65+ for cuts. They had top notch quality but the cost was too high for me to justify in my current state of life. That's when Faint Blends came into mind. Had some friends in Brea (The Compound Barbershop) that recommended this spot. Off the bat, super clean/trendy spot. Each Barber gets their own chair and the one closest to the door runs and manages it, so you get a warm greeting each time you walk in. I had an appointment with Anthony and wasn't initially sure how it was going to go due to it just being a new experience for me. Sitting down, Anthony took the time to get to know my stye, asking questions and clarifying the type of cut I envisioned. He told me what would look good and gave me his input. I've gone to him a few times since and each time, he's remembered the things I told him and all in all is a great conversationalist. He's made me feel comfortable and ultimately, I've walked away each time floored with how well my haircuts turn out. The rates at the shop are standard, and although they did raise by $5 a few months ago, they are more than worth it. I think the only thing I have to mention, which is a good problem is the fact that Anthony gets booked up pretty easily, so be sure to book fast! read more

Cool spot they got good barbers I always come out satisfied they don't take too long on hair cuts or waiting time

I have been getting my haircut at FaintBlends for a while now. But specifically, I get my cut from Anthony. This man does not miss, and it is hard to come by someone who is consistent with their haircuts. I trust him with my life, for those who know how important a haircut can make or break you. Online reservations are available and I would definitely check him out on your next service. Get Anthony for your appointment, and you won't be disappointed. -Grillo read more

I moved to Lake forest in 2022, and struggled to find a good spot for a cut. I finally tried Faint Blends barbershop and booked an appointment with Anthony randomly, I have to say after my first cut from him I felt like the looking for a spot was over. From him cutting my hair the first time to today, I have been completely happy with every cut he gives me. He is a great barber, hands down he has given me the best haircuts every time. Nice shop, and good vibes with music in the background and sports playing on the tvs. Looks like every chair gets filled. If you're looking for a fresh cut book your appointment, you won't be disappointed. read more

I've been going to Kevin @ripcitybarber for many years since I was a teenager to til this day. Very easy going, energetic, pays close attention to detail of the goal on how you style your look or hairstyle that you want.

And everyone takes pride on what they do best!! I suggest to make appointments because they do get busy when holidays come around.. so if you want to look you best.. I highly suggest Faint Blends to anyone I know in the Orange County area! read more

I've been going to Kevin at Faint Blends since 2015, starting at his previous shop and following as he moved to Faint Blends. I've never gotten a bad haircut in all those years. Kevin is fast, friendly, and exceptionally skilled. While I'm in the chair, I'm always watching the other cuts going on, and I've seen nothing but great work. The shop is spotlessly clean, there's always a game on the TV, and there's plenty of parking. I definitely recommend Kevin or anyone at Faint Blends. read more

Great spot for a haircut, Anthony has been cutting my hair for over 5 years. He is a true professional and a real talent. His attention to detail and knack for knowing what styles work for each client makes him stand out above the rest. He has a friendly demeanor, is a great listener and is a pleasure to talk to. If you have the opportunity, I highly recommend that you schedule an appointment with Anthony. read more

I've been looking for a good barber shop for like 2 years now. So glad I gave this place a shot. The staff is super friendly. Chris cut my hair and did a phenomenal job.
