I met Dr. Denita at a local charity event last year where she informed me of her newly opened business Hammer & Nails. I was looking for a barber and it could not have been a better fit. It's modern, not stuffy at all, themed for Guys and services you never knew you needed. I strive to support locally owned businesses and being Veteran Owned closed the deal for me. I have been a member here for several months and am really happy with the service and treatments I've received. Corie Hybl has been taking care of me for 3 months now and I cannot rave enough about her attention to detail and the answering of my many questions. I have become a fan of the waxing service, if you're an older Man like me, the ears and nose waxing is a must. You know who you are... read more

I scheduled an appointment for my husband for his birthday. Received a text message confirmation, arrived at the location 10 min before his appointment just so Whitney ( the front desk lady) tells me that his appointment isn't in the system "for some reason". She didn't even know what kind of appointment we had. He is bald and she asked if it was for a haircut. SMH I still tried and asked her if she could accommodate him and she said no. Asked her to speak to a manager she said there wasn't one on duty. Very disappointed, very unprofessional and to make matters worse it ruined my birthday gift to my husband. read more

Hammer & Nails - Valencia - The text message we received confirming our appointment. - Barbers Near Me - Valencia, California

The service was great from start to finish. Starting with the greeting at the front desk by Dora (I think was her name), the tour of the facilities, and relaxing with a beer while I waited for my appointment. Then the actual haircut being excellent really sold me on this place. Shoutout to Eli who gave me a fantastic haircut (my daughters and wife loved the cut and thought I looked real dapper) and top notch service on top of being a super chill person. Im almost reluctant to write this review because I dont want it to be harder to find availability here, but the folks here really deserve it and I hope this business thrives I intend to be back for my next haircut and booking with Eli again as my go to for getting a fresh cut in a relaxing environment. read more

If you're looking for a simple $30 haircut, there's plenty of options nearby in the SCV like Supercuts and Fantastic Sam's. We also have several really solid barbershop options as well. But, if you're looking for both a grooming experience and a place you can connect with folks, while you wait with a drink in hand watching the game or news, I highly recommend Hammer & Nails in general, but specifically this Valencia location. After a coworker left a flyer for Hammer & Nails at work and after going through it, I was drawn to the subscription option and purchased into the "classic club" membership. With two boys and a full beard myself, I thought I would definitely apply the services for all three of us, since the membership is transferable. My first service was a haircut for my 9 yr old son with "Q" and it was legit, thanks Q! For my 2nd service, I had an amazing beard cut with AJ, and she rocked it also. During my 2nd service I met the owner, Danita, and she's the reason why H & N gets my highest recommendation. Danita was VERY approachable, friendly and real. As a Marine Corps Veteran, we bonded instantly since Danita is also a Veteran herself. I came back for another beard trim with "Skip" this time, and he is the man, the myth, the legend, thanks Skip, solid! My last service was another cut for my boy and, again, it was a really tight and legit cut by AJ. Thanks AJ! We did have a subscription and miscommunication issue, but Whitney up front in the check-in lobby took care of it and handled everything with class and professionalism. No business is perfect, so if something comes up, the one thing you can hope for is to have the business "hear you out" and try and make things right. Both Danita and Whitney did just that. Loyalty is NOT built overnight, but I'll definitely keep coming back because after seeing how they handled the situation, I'm locked in! read more

Really had a good experience for my first time here. I dont have a traditional fade or line up haircut, so I wanted a place that can use scissors well for a male cut. Jameson is really knowledgeable on his technique and gave some good recommendations for styling and maintaining my hair, which is a middle part flow. Highly recommend him if you're like me that doesn't want a fade or buzz cut, and he made sure to pay extra attention on being gentle with the head wash and head massage. I like that it's pampering for the male with hot towels and head massages if that's your thing. Overall will definitely come back! read more

Ngl, my first visit did not go so well. But, I decided to try again and my subsequent visits have all been great. The staff are very pleasant and the facility is super clean. And, the a/c works too. I have appointments for this weekend. It's a nice break in the day. read more

Amazing place, unlike any barbershop! Literally a salon for men! Denina and her husband the owners are great friendly people and especially Dora the front desk staff. All very welcoming and nice welcoming attitude and beautiful smiles. I had my hair cut done with Eve and Keonte and they were both amazing barbers. They literally cut it exactly how I wanted it and did a great fade. The massage and facial steamed towel hit the spot and they both styled my hair w pomeade perfectly afterwards. The pictures below are from Keonte! I wish I had pictures from Eve too but forgot to take them. Facial was done with the man Malcolm very down to earth guy who left my face feeling baby soft. Great place and atmosphere. Great service, pricy but worth the money. I highly recommend this place! Leave feeling like a refreshed new man! read more

What a great experience. I've been going to a barber over in Bakersfield for several years however, decided to try Hammer and Nails AJ cut my hair I showed her a picture and she did it perfectly. I will admit I didn't think I looked very good with this style of a haircut. My friend and coworker who accompanied me said it looked really really good. But the true test was the one I got home and my partner raved about the haircut. He's never raved about a haircut ever. He said you need to go back and get your haircut there from now on. I'll admit I'm still getting used to it. However I have decided to go ahead do a membership and partake of some of the other services Hammer and Nails offers. Everyone there was super nice and very welcoming. Initially Whitney gave me a tour and a rundown of the services they offer. She is super sweet. I also met the owner whose name escapes me. She was pretty incredible and Very welcoming. Malcolm and AJ were very nice people and take pride in what they do. I highly recommend this place I doubt that you'll be disappointed. I look forward to seeing these folks at least once a month. read more

Great concept, but unfortunately the execution just hasn't matched the price point. I've now been here 5 times trying to give this place a fair shot, hoping the experience would become more consistent, but it's been the opposite. The biggest issue is the lack of consistency with my barber. My most recent visit was especially disappointing. The haircut and straight razor work were rough enough that I left and immediately went to another barbershop to have it corrected. Even while I was in the chair, I pointed out multiple issues, but it felt like the barber either didn't have the confidence or the skillset to properly fix them. What made it worse was walking out knowing several people in the shop saw the haircut and nobody stepped in or said anything. Everyone just smiled and sent me on my way looking uneven and unfinished. For the prices being charged, the level of experience and attention to detail should be much higher. There's potential here, but right now it feels overpriced for the quality and consistency being delivered. read more

Skip was great! Very polished shave! The gentleman knew what he was doing! Glad this H&N opened up in Valencia. The AC wasn't working today which was a huge bummer. read more

I went here for a pedicure. Their prices are very similar to what other nail salons are around. But their expertise and focus is unsurpassed. I got one of the best pedicures of my life. No pain. Excellent communication. And a free drink of my choice! The vibes were vibing. I was so comfortable and pampered. Deservedly so. Highly recommend. 10/10 read more

Got the premium head and beard shave/grooming..Q was my artist. Did a fantastic job!..made me look good!..owners and staff are great and friendly .Definitely coming back for other services...Highly recommended .. gotta treat yourself... read more

I would leave zero stars if I could. If I could call this anything, it wouldn't be "grooming"--it would be assault with clippers. My dad went in with a long, full, healthy beard and walked out looking like he lost a fight with a weed whacker. The barber chopped it up so badly it looked like child scissors were involved. A lawn mower could've done a straighter, more professional job. And if that wasn't enough, he even hacked into my dad's haircut. One appointment, two disasters. Years of growing and maintaining a beard--gone in minutes. My dad had to come home and completely shave off what little mess was left, then pay another barber to fix the ruined haircut. Imagine walking into a "premium" grooming lounge and leaving with less than nothing. That's the Hammer & Nails experience. To the owner's credit, she was apologetic and didn't make my dad pay--which is the absolute bare minimum when you completely butcher someone's beard and hair. But let's be clear: no free service, no apology, and no "we'll do better next time" is ever going to replace what was lost. This place sells the illusion of being luxury, but can't even provide the basics of barbering. Save yourself the humiliation, the wasted time, and the regret. The only thing Hammer & Nails nailed was destroying my dad's beard. read more

The service is inconsistent. Came in first time - great experience. Second time booked the ultimate package for a haircut, it was done in 15 minutes and none of the package features were provided. They really want you to sign up for membership - that's where they make money. Not going to come back. read more

Overall the staff was great. I was happy with the haircut. I knocked off some stars due to a few issues. 1st was the scheduling. The time I scheduled was pushed by 15 minutes which I was notified an hour before my appointment because a client before me was late. I figured that wasn't a big deal since I scheduled my appointment to link with places I need to be afterwords. I got to the shop a few minutes before my newly timed appointment. I was greeted and given a tour and free drink since it was my first time visiting. My time to start came and gone. My haircut didn't start until almost 45 mins after my original time. 2nd, like I mentioned above, the barber did a great job with my haircut. Only strange thing was after my haircut was completed and it was time to pay, I got roasted by the owner. She began making comments about my shirt and mocking how I was answering her questions. I was surprised to hear this. I kept a smile and tried to be polite, but the jokes kept coming. Felt strange and confused. I don't know if putting a customer down when it's time to pay is ideal with their prices. read more

Fantastic! Q did an amazing job and the best part was how they treated you on your first arrival. I'll never forget this experience.

Greatest experience. Had my beard cut there and they almost made cry out of joy. Stopped and extended my care experience to nails and haircut. Also had some very enjoyable and enlightening conversations. It was a welcomed transformation. A reminder to groom and pamper myself. I look forward I'm excited about future visits... I'm eternally grateful to your team H&N Valencia. Sincerely JO read more

Fantastic first visit at Hammer & Nails for a haircut with Karen. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an elevated grooming experience.

Such an amazing experience!Dr Denita is very professional, sweet and knowledgeable. All the staff are top of the line and the place is beautiful. I highly recommend for anyone who wants not just a haircut a top of the line experience. read more

Just for reference, I rarely do reviews like this. This was extremely warranted in my opinion. So, here we go. I switched to Hammer & Nails in Valencia for manicures and pedicures a few months ago, shortly after they opened. I'd been loyal to my previous place for years, but travel time made the switch necessary. That said, I've never looked back -- the experience here has been exceptional from day one. The service is top-notch, and I highly recommend them to any guy looking for personal care in a place where you can feel at home, relaxed, and treated like a king. After a few visits for manicures and pedicures, I decided to try the haircut, beard, and facial services -- a big leap since I'd been going to the same barbers and facialists for years. Let me tell you: Karen is phenomenal. She's not just skilled -- she's a true artist. A technician. From beard precision to facial work, her technique is flawless. She's meticulous, keeps you informed every step of the way, and her personality makes you instantly comfortable. You never feel rushed or just like the next in line. For hands and feet, Alexis is fantastic. The Premium services are a must and my go to. Personally, I go for the Sports Pedicure and Premium Manicure combo. Her skill with massage techniques, hot stones, and overall care is next-level. You leave feeling completely refreshed. Priscilla handled my waxing, and again -- outstanding. She's careful, gentle, and highly detailed. She walks you through the whole process so there are no surprises. Dora and the front desk team are always warm and attentive, making every visit easy and enjoyable. And Denina, the owner, has built something special -- a real man cave vibe, perfectly tuned to what guys need to unwind. Oh, and yes -- the bar's a nice touch too. The place is spotless, the service is highly personalized, and the overall experience? Easily one of the best self-care decisions I've made in decades. What really seals the deal for me is the ability to take care of everything in one place. A few hours a month at Hammer & Nails feels like a mini-vacation -- relaxing, energizing, and pure bliss. If you haven't checked them out yet -- do it. You're missing out. read more

Definitely worth the experience for all men. I have had facials, feet services, shaves on face and head, And enjoying every encounter so far. Jasmine on face, Veronica on feet and keonte, Jerome and Malcolm on grooming. This service is definitely for the man who wants to look his best at all times. I am a luxe member (best value) and enjoy how i walk out each and every time. read more

Horrible experience. Never go here. No to n style instead cuz this place has no idea what customer service is. My dad waited 35 to be helped when he had an appointment that I had already set up. No one greeted him no one gave him a time frame and after my dad complained for the 35 minute wait they offered not to charge my card and reschedule for tomorrow. No. If you can't fulfill your appointments call them ahead of time and ask them not to come. And don't treat them like they don't belong there. Horrible vibe, bad service, bad customer care, bad quality. read more

Its never easy finding a new barber you can trust. Keonte exceeded my expectations. He took instructions well, but also gave great advice and creative input. I've been back multiple times now and signed up for membership. The haircut and beard trim is always fantastic. read more

First of all Kay and Malcom are booth amazing!! Booked an appointment in advance to see Malcom for a beard trim. I explained to Kay that my wife was not thrilled with how prickly my beard is and all her complaints. Kay and I then told Malcolm the problems and he went to work. According to my wife I am to report a grade of A+ - 5 STARS. My wife [and I] are much appreciative of the new :) cut and want to give kudos to both Kay and Malcolm for doing such an excellent job and being fun to hang out with at the same time. See you next month. read more

Today was my first visit and I was super impressed at how friendly and welcoming the staff was. They made me feel very comfortable. Everything was clean and orderly. I appreciated the ambiance and decor very much. I'm very glad to have signed up as a founding member. read more

I had been waiting for this place to open and finally got a chance to give it a look. Ever since going to an 18/8 men's salon several years ago I'd been hoping for a similar place near home. It didn't disappoint. The place looks and feels like a man's cave, they did an amazing job on the aesthetics, including the bar. I spent an hour with Malcolm as he cleaned up my mop and beard, complete with straight edge shaping. His work was flawless. Their pricing is published, I found it reasonable, and there were no surprises. Haven't decided if I will commit to a membership, but I'm leaning towards it. Going to try out a few different stylists and services over the next few months. read more

Great positive energy there. Was walking by decided to see if I can get in on a Saturday and only waited 5 minutes. Just needed a hair cut. Malcolm was able to take me and he did a good job. Would go back again. The owners were there and they were very nice. They gave me a little taste of tequila to add to the relaxing experience. Check it out. read more

Fast cut, got exactly what I wanted.. major transformation.. Keonte top notch barber, eye to detail.. Great service.. definitely keeping my membership read more

Had initially booked for a pedicure but since I needed a trim . I booked a cut as well. First and foremost. My pedicure was amazing to say the least. I opted for the "sports pedicure" from an extensive list of options. The environment. Quiet man cave like with leather loungers and 6 seats with 6 screens to enjoy whatever entertainment you want with some Bose headphones. Classy! Offered some drink services. Since it was their grand opening. There were a few tours happening coming in n out of the room. Other than that.. let me tell you. The pedicurist, Jasmin . Great work. She most definitely made me all relaxed and pampered. She was very thorough and gentle. And to be honest. Even made me think of becoming a member. It was that good. Got me hooked. Being in hospitality myself. Service was more important than the environment. I am definitely coming back for her. If she moves to a different location. I'm following her! There's always a balance. Since I did come here for a cut I really didn't want to mention it and tbh I don't really like to write bad reviews. I usually give barbers second chances to redeem themselves unless it was just not what expected it to be. I had the pleasure of sitting in with Keonte. I told him that I'd like to keep the top of my head as is and wanted to grow it out. I was growing it out for a 2block cut and I just wanted a mid drop fade to remove hair around my ears. The fade. Really good. But went south as soon as he start wed cutting the top. And for sure I should have stopped him as soon as I saw the scissors. But I was thinking he'd make some slight changes. So that's on me. I'm sure he's great at what he does. But at this time. I am not going to be coming here for a cut. This is not the place I want to do my hair. Unfortunately I didn't take any photos of either as I wanted to experience first hand instead of documenting every move as I went through. Reason for 5 stars was that even though the day wasn't perfect. My pedicure made up for it all. I'll definitely be back for another pedicure. read more

I made a second visit to Hammer and Nails and once again they delivered 5 star service. I had a premium manicure and pedicure by Jasmin and she was fantastic. The service and level of relaxation it provided was perfect. I truly recommend you take care of yourself and do the same. Kudos to Jasmin and Hammer and Nails read more

KEONTE is a true ARTIST! He made me very comfortable and made my thinking fair look very good! Will definitely come back to this amazing place! read more

I was impressed with H&N attention to details. Nice place to get all your grooming done in one spot.

Hands down the best service out there. I went in for a premium cut and manicure. They're true professionals from the service they bring to the customer. With the use of quality products and techniques they use, to how they treat customers. Having them at the mall shows how successful of a business they truly are, they take care of their shop and customers. I will continue to get a haircut there. Truly a great vibe. P.S.: Thank you Malcolm! read more

Jazzy did a great job on a pedicure for me. I'm at the last stages of recovering from a broken foot and wanted to go to a place where I could communicate easily with the person doing the pedicure (my girl insists I get a pedicure every so often). Jazzy was professional and gentle, the place is beautiful and all in all it was a very pleasant experience. I will return. read more

Great vibe, great location, great service! Went there to get my feet done and Jazzy did her thing. Not only did she take care of my hands and feet, she gave me a facial. Fellas you need to try this place ASAP! Did I mention that they have a full bar.. Got my membership today... read more

If I'm being honest, this place is extremely overpriced as well as overrated. I was booked for a " premium" haircut as they told me over the phone I'd get a free upgrade from the classic. I didn't even receive a hair wash, razor, outline, foam, and aftershave. They didn't give me any of these things. They simply just gave me a semi okay cut and that was it. I was hoping for the rest of the service that they claim to provide? No towels shampoos etc. after all of this they tried to charge me 90 dollars!! I told them that they were supposed to upgrade me for free from the classic style for the cheaper rate of 55 dollars. By the way even the classic cut is supposed to include the wash towel and more of things listed on their website. If I'm being bf completely honest you can get a way better cut for 1/4 of the price elsewhere. read more

AMAZING staff AMAZING service by far best place I've been! The vibe and atmosphere sets you in a relaxing place and you have your alone time, Veronica was beyond great! Really do recommend coming 10/10 read more

I got an amazing fade from Malcolm. Best haircut in a long time. Also did a straight razor shave and beard trim. All the hot towels were super relaxing and smelled wonderful! An all around great pampering. Do it for yourself, you deserve it!!! read more

Everyone in this place is super friendly and helpful. I had a great haircut with Keonte. I'm super picky about my hair so a first cut with someone new is always something I am nervous about. I told him what I wanted and he was attentive when I asked him to make some adjustments. It's always a turn off to me when someone doesn't seem to want my feedback on my own cut and Keonte really listened to me. My pedicure with Jasmin was fantastic. She was so pleasant and the space was so relaxing. The whole experience was just the break I needed. Every new business has its kinks to work out but if this is where H & N is starting, it's only going to get better. read more
