Jack is the expert. I've been a happy customer since i've been coming to Jack for my haircuts since 2023. I've gone through numerous styles in that time: straight, wavy, curly, long, medium, and every time it's the best haircut I've ever had! If you know what you want, Jack can do it. And even if you're not sure exactly what you want (or messed up your hair by cutting it yourself), Jack will help you figure out what will look best. Jack's also super chill to talk to and creates a very welcoming space. Make that appointment now and feel the confidence that comes with an expert cut that is effortless to maintain and style. You'll be so glad you did. read more

It was a great experience, Jack listened and made fantastic suggestions. Will be going back regularly

Jack is incredibly skilled at what he does. I always struggled to find anyone that could cut my hair and was basically told to resign myself to buzzcuts or bowl cuts. I first came here in 2023 and Jack was immensely kind as we discussed what hairstyles would fit me and we found one that worked. I've been coming here ever since and it's always great as Jack is meticulous and at the same time very chill! read more

I discovered jack back in 2025 after a previous stylist was not being honest and not listening to what I was envisioning, Jack listened to what I wanted and has been cutting my hair since. I came to jack with short hair and he is the reason why I grew my hair out as I never liked having a lot of hair because I never liked the "helmet" kind of look and was so used to having tapers and fades but jack reassured me and instructed me how to style my hair to avoid the awkward phase as much as possible. If you want a stylist who listens, advises and knows amazing scissor work then I would recommend coming to jack. read more

A bit on the costly side but he knows what he's doing and brought my vision to fruition!

I have had two haircuts so far and am super happy to have found Jack. He's always on time, comfortable atmosphere and does an excellent job, he really cares about his work and it shows. Worth the money and would highly recommend to anyone. Thanks for the great cut Jack! read more

Jack has been my go-to barber since I moved from Atlanta about five years ago. I followed him to three different places, and now I come from DTLA to HBch to get my cut. That says everything about Jack and his work. Jack is your man if you are someone like me who values quality, time, and professionalism. I have gotten my haircut about every two weeks for the last five years; there has not been one time that I had an issue with my cut, my time, and my appointment. It's consistent every single time. That is very hard to find; his pricing and services are fair for the level of dedicated services you get. You book your appointment, and 99% of the time, he will be ready for you when you schedule and gets you out in the same amount of time. I have a hectic schedule and couldn't see myself with another barber! read more

Been going to jack for years. Followed him to three different locations. From barber shop to cuts by jack to informal by jack. Recently moved up north to the bay seven hours away. Got my haircut by someone else for the first time in a almost a decade and then ended up driving the seven hours a week later to get it cut by Jack. He's the best of the best. I feel like a new person whenever I leave his shop. read more

INFORMAL By Jack - Men's Hair Salons Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

When he told me a great cut does not need hair product I thought he was crazy. I have very straight hair, and for more than 40 years, I've always had to use many hair products, including gel and hairspray to get my hair to look the way I wanted it too. after two haircuts with him I can honestly say it's the best haircut I've ever had in my life. read more

I recently started going to Jack for my haircuts for a few months now. When I first went to him, my hair was down to my shoulder, and I was ready to go back to short hair. Jack set me up perfectly with what I was asking for and I was in love with my hair again. Even neglecting to get my hair cut for awhile, the cut still looked great and I was still receiving compliments on my hair 2 months after I got it cut! You will not be disappointed when you come here. You will come out with a haircut that you will love and a great stylist that will take care of you and whatever you ask for. read more

10/10, Jack gives the best haircut in Orange County! I have been getting my hair cut every few weeks by Jack for the last few years and have gotten several different styles throughout that time and each one has been on point! Also a very pleasant experience each visit. Happy to see him grow his brand in the OC. read more

Jack was super nice to reach me when he had a cancellation since he's usually booked so far out. I tend to not know my schedule or free time until last minute due to crazy work hours. He was super nice and Covid friendly making the experience of cutting my long hair id grown out a full year. I already wasn't sure I wanted to. He was super patient in allowing me to show him some styles I liked on google and made great conversation. Just a great guy in general and an amazing barber. My haircut turned out great, and my wife loved it. That says a lot! Thanks again Jack for taking care of me! read more

Simply put, Jack is a wizard. He takes his craft seriously and it shows In his approach. I had the most basic hairstyle for the longest time and figured I'd switch it up.

Went in there confident knowing he would deliver and deliver he did. Left super stoked with my new style. He even schooled me with some tips to achieve the same look at home.

Growing up in LA, I know the value of a good look with the PROPER hair cut/style. The problem is, this look is generally available in exclusive West LA salons for ridiculous prices. Thankfully, I found Jack at Informal. Jack has been styling my hair for over 10 years now and I am never looking back. If you want a down to earth stylist who values the client-stylist relationship and need that PROPER cut/style, go to Jack. He will give you what you ask for and more.

The scissor cut is unmatched when compared to a standard haircut, and Jack has definitely mastered it. I used to go to barbershops that would give decent haircuts, but ever since I started going to Jack, I've finally found a natural style that fits my head shape and hair type. The quality of the cut is so good that it makes styling my hair almost effortless - no product needed and minimal blow drying. On top of that, Jack is an awesome guy and we always have great conversations. Definitely worth it if you truly want a quality cut. read more

If there was a black belt for Barbers/Hair Stylists, Jack would be a 3rd Degree black belt, Master Barber. He has a nice private suite in Huntington Beach and offers complimentary Fiji Water & Beer. The service & experience really is upscale. He can give a mean fade & is NICE with the scissor work. You can tell he really takes pride in his craft & views his work as an art form. 10/10 recommend! read more

I've searched far and wide for a good hair stylist after my KTown auntie fades couldn't keep up with her aging eyesight. Went through a couple people in Irvine and Newport until coming across Jack. He's consistent and skilled with layering my shorter and thick Asian hair. Very nice and caring guy as well. Had some alopecia due to stress for nearly a year and he kept my spirits up despite my embarrassment. I'd highly recommend. read more

Always a great cut with Jack! I've been to him twice and he really knows what he is doing. Good conversation (if you want it) and he really takes his time (in a good way). You can tell he has the technique and eye for a perfect hair cut. The studio is big, clean, and comfortable. Pricing is fair, $40 for a mens cut, and he does a cool shave at the end (not sure what it's called). You really get what you pay for so keep that in mind if you're going with a cheaper place! read more

I've been getting my hair cut by Jack for a little over a year now and he never disappoints. If you prioritize styling your hair and want the high end quality/ precision this is the spot to go. His salon is very clean and aesthetic and you can tell from your cut that he takes pride in what he does for you. read more

JACK IS BY FAR THE BEST!! Words can't describe how committed and passionate he is to the craft of cutting and styling hair. He takes his time and makes sure to make your hair look great. Not only is he good with the scissors for those with long hairstyle, he's also really got with fades/tapers. Jack has an arsenal to take on any hairstyle I highly recommend him if you need help with styling your hair and asking him for advice on what you could do if you're undecided. Besides his skills, he's a great guy that is really easy to have conversations with and truly cares for his customers. Thank you Jack for always being flexible and making sure I look good before any big event! read more

I brought my son who has long curly hair to Jack because we read online that he is good with men's long hair. My son doesn't take care of his hair so I needed some quick easy tips since he is going away to college soon. Jacks first recommendation was to cut it- no, next he wanted to give my son bangs- NO! He was able to untangle his hair, cut it (too short) then added products that didn't help keep the frizz down. He gave no recommendations other than don't go to bed with wet hair and sea salt water spray! That's what I paid $60 for??? Definitely not worth it! If you don't know how to care for long hair then don't advertise that you do! Reply: You did not even ask me what my thoughts were on your end product. I'm just saying don't advertise that you know how to work on long hair since you obviously don't know how to. Now I can't wait until it grows out! read more

Best men's hair cut in OC. Hands down. Jack is very professional and courteous. His salon is very clean. It was a great customer experience at his salon. read more

There are a very few places where I can go and be confident that I am going to leave with a fresh cut. There are usually least one or two things that are missing, but not with Cuts by Jack. Jack really knows his hair and has great attention to detail. He is attentive and listens to what you want and gives his professional opinion on how to make that happen. If you you're looking for quality over quantity, then Jack is your guy. Note: you get what you pay for, this isn't a cheap barber shop but more of a salon so be aware that cuts start off around $40. Worth the price though! read more

Serious Skills & Service for Serious Clients! I've been getting my hair regularly cut by Jack for several months now, and have been impressed since day one. Not only is he highly skilled at doing both short and long cuts, but he actually takes the time to ask the right questions in order to find out exactly what type of cut you looking for. Personally, I tend to keep my hair fairly short on top (couple inches) with a mid-fade along the sides and in the back. Jack has some of the cleanest and seamless fade work I've had the pleasure of experiencing, and his scissor work is just as strong. I have lived in both the IE, and Orange County, and have tried a couple top stylists (based on reviews, photos, etc.) in both areas. Put simply, their work does not measure up to Jack's. If you are looking for a typical barbershop experience at a typical barbershop price, no offense, but this is not the place for you. Jack offers a premier experience by means of great service, and a top-quality cut. If you are someone who is particular about the look, style, and feeling of your hair, Jack is absolutely the guy you want to be making appointments with! Next appointment: 10/29/19 read more

I think this is my first yelp review? Anyways the point is that my haircut was so great and Jack is underrated that I had to speak up on yelp. After years of looking for a consistent stylist to cut my hair, I think I found the one. Jacks a modest guy charging modest prices, but spends over an hour on your hair. He takes into account who you are, your work, your personality, your preferences for hair, and then goes above and beyond. A+, 100%, read more

Jack offers an ideal experience -- a quality haircut in a clean, private setting. He's conscientious and understanding; and, thanks to his varied training, Jack has a unique skill set that distinguishes him from other barbers. read more

I've been coming to Jack for 3 years now, and he's done nothing short of an amazing job every time! He's very professional and takes his time to make sure you get exactly what you want. I wouldn't go anywhere else! read more

Jack is truly a class act and extremely talented with the clippers. It had been months since my last haircut. I have long wavy/curly hair and it's always very hard to find somebody to cut it. Not only did Jack give me the best haircut I've ever had. He was able to get me in right before I had to goto a wedding when I couldn't find anybody else. 10/10 service 10/10 haircut. If you just moved or are visiting the area i definitely recommend going to Jack! read more

A few years ago, I was always struggling on finding the right barber and after doing a little research, I came across high reviews on Jack at Barber & Co. I scheduled my appointment with him and have been going to him since. Jack is very meticulous and detailed in his work and I like his technique in cutting. When I found out that he ventured onto Fawn, I followed him here. He is my go-to guy for all my haircut needs and I've referred all of my friends to him! I highly recommend him the next time you need an awesome cut! read more

I have lived in OC for 12 years. In that time I have had hundreds of different haircuts. I can confidently say that no one has done such a brilliant job as Jack. He really takes his time with your hair, and he knows how to achieve the look you want. If you are a guy with medium length hair and you're tired of getting zero fades from overworked barbers, Jack is your guy! He formerly worked at Barber & Co. in HB but has now made the transition into his own studio, with a pleasant atmosphere. He takes 45-60 minutes on your hair, rather than the 20 minutes you would get at a barber. Can not recommend highly enough! My personal advice: bring a picture of what you're looking for! Jack really knows how to work from a picture and shape that look to work for your face and hair type. read more

Jack is the man! He's literally a jack of all trades haha. I've been getting fades from him for several years now and never have been disappointed. He is really skilled with both the clippers and scissors, and it's amazing how much he has developed through the barber shop and salon. I've seen him cut both men's & women's hair effortlessly. Similar to a lot of his other clients, I've followed him over to his nice new studio location. His new spot is modern, spacious and clean! Jack's #1 concern is providing excellent customer service and it clearly shows - keep it up Jack. PS. He still kindly offers his clients refreshments/beer! read more

It was so hard to find a good hair salon that could work with long men's hair, and I'm so happy to finally solve this quest. Definitely worth driving to OC wherever you live. read more

Recently moved from Brooklyn, so I have been looking for a new hair stylist. Happened upon Jack on yelp and decided to give him a go. Turned out to be the right move. The only hiccup I had was getting to the place. That was due to a combination of me not typing in the yelp address or the address sent to me by the reservation reminder text and of google maps playing with me. I just searched "Cuts by Jack" on google maps and it gave the right written address but showed the wrong location on the map and took me to an ARCO gas station 8 minutes away from the actual studio. So needless to say I was late. Sorry Jack. Once there, the studio is spacious and clean. They only moved in 4 weeks ago or so. Seems that only Jack and one other stylist is working out of there right now. They don't take walk-ins, so no need to wait. Jack himself was nice. He was the right amount of personable, and he took his time with a high level attention to detail. Also provided a good amount of recommendations while also taking into account what I was going for. I usually need some advice as I usually don't know exactly what I'm going for, so this was a definite plus. I feel like Jack is skilled in both longer scissored cuts and traditional fades/shorter barber style cuts. I'd say the cut ranked up there with cuts I was getting in NYC that were 3-4 times the price. They also provide the usual refreshments: water, beer, soda. Anywho, I no longer trust google maps, but I do trust Jack with my hair. Will be back. read more

Jack is the best hair stylist. Not good, not great, the best. He listens very hard when you discuss what look you want, and implements the requested look in a very flattering fashion. He does not impose his will about your hair style, but does make recommendations for your consideration. He is also a very smart young family man with a booming business. I always enjoy our conversations while he works. His prices are very reasonable considering what you receive in return. This is no striped pole barbershop, and I am very grateful for that and his work on and for me. read more
