After a few years of cutting my own hair during the pandemic, I decided to venture out and get a cut at a barbershop. Picked this one because of the reviews. The guys were friendly enough, although they talked over me the whole time and didn't ask me any questions until near the end. And they started off the "conversation" by making it clear they thought the pandemic was fake. I couldn't get a word in edgewise, but whatever. Not a big deal.
The haircut was ok. It was a decent barbershop cut. I'm not sure if any of the other reviewers have ever had a decent haircut at a barbershop, but it wasn't magic. It was...fine. I have no beef with it, except that maybe it's a little overpriced, but whatever. I don't have any major complaints about that.
What I am confused about is how everyone is saying this is such a family friendly place. I'm sure they have good banter with the kids (hopefully they ask some questions and let the kids talk), but the vibes are not family friendly. First, there's a whole bar's worth of liquor bottles out in the open. There are gun magazines laying out everywhere, and lots of signage on the wall containing the F word (and mostly gun related). Wasn't sure if I was in a barbershop or a gun store. There's also pornographic material on the mini fridge, right at kid height (jokes about Kamala Harris with x rated words, etc.). I guess in Orange County that counts as a family place, lol.
If you're into guns and you want your kids hanging around all this stuff, I guess this place is for you. But if you don't have tattoos or a chain wallet, and your kids haven't learned the F word yet, you might want to keep looking.

Hi Javier, thanks for your response. It started out very professional and then got pretty sarcastic and personal pretty quickly. I can see that you're angry, and I'm sorry to hear that.
I'd be happy to send you the date of my visit and who I sat with, in order for you to assist me better, as you say. But can I ask how that will allow you to assist me better? What will that info allow you to do? I'm not asking for refund or anything. You seem less interested in assisting me than in taking shots at my character in a public forum, which is disappointing.
Since you made some statements, and indeed accusations, here in my review space, I thought I would respond to those here, especially since I think there is some misunderstanding involved.
First, I think it's important to note that I was not offended by the presence of alcohol, nor did I say that. I just said that some people might not consider it family friendly. I also didn't say I considered a pic of a woman in a suit pornography. It was the wording that I mentioned - specifically the word "cum" which you left out of your description. I'm an adult and again, I didn't say I was personally offended (although I think it's a cheap joke about someone's looks). I merely said some people might not want their kids learning that word in a barbershop. As for the "FAFO" sign, I get that some of your clients find it humorous. But surely you realize that some might not, right? I did actually chuckle at your magazine joke. A home & garden magazine is a great idea! Just please not Country Living - that one's terrible.
You mentioned some "facts" and said the rest was my opinion. That is correct. That is largely what these reviews are - someone's opinion. You yourself said this is a platform to speak on my experience with you, which is what I did. While we're talking about facts though, I do want to clarify what you said. You said the facts were that my haircut was "good" and the price was "out of my range" and you put those things in quotes as if I had said them. In fact I didn't say either one of those things. I said the haircut was "ok" and "fine" and I said I thought it was a bit overpriced. I didn't say it was out of my price range. Just because someone thinks something is overpriced doesn't mean they can't afford it. I'm sure you're not the type of person to make fun of what someone can afford.
When it comes down to it, this is all opinion. You said many families would disagree with mine, and you're absolutely right. I even indicated that in my review. The one fact is that I did visit, and you don't seem to believe that. You put the word "visit" in quotes, as if it didn't happen. I'm sorry you couldn't find my info, but it's disappointing that you're trying to discredit me personally instead of just sticking to the issues (even if to disagree).
You said you encourage people to share their feedback with you so you can better accommodate them. You didn't encourage me to share any feedback while I was there, but I'd argue that a review is sharing feedback. In any case, I gave my opinion on a business and you attacked my character. I didn't say anything about you personally but you're saying personal things about me. That seems a bit unfair and unprofessional. That's just my opinion. read more
