After spending the last couple of months on house arrest, er, quarantine, knowing barber shops were slowly opening and not wanting to wait for the one I usually go to to open, I decided to seek one out. I happened upon Legends in Ventura, a small shop nestled between a tattoo parlor and a nail salon off Main st.. I pulled into the empty parking lot not knowing if it was open. I found that it was. There were 2 barbers there, both cutting hair but they weren't accepting walk-ins until Monday 6/1. Luckily Chris popped his head out and said if I could wait 10 min. he'd be able to do the job, his 11 o'clock cancelled so he had the time! Never been there, I walked in to a nice, newly renovated 7 chair shop. Chris's partner left so it was just us 2. I found Chris to be a very easy to talk to young man and we had a great conversation while he cut my hair. The shop caters to mostly young guys and the styles they like, but Chris knew what to do for me, nothing fancy for this 62 yr. old school guy that's had the same haircut his whole life! He was totally professional, very easy going, confident, and relaxed around me being almost old enough to be his grand-father. I highly recommend Chris if you're looking for a barber! I think I found my new got to guy! Christopher Valera, 805-258-9201 read more

The feel of the place is a classic barbershop. Everyone was very professional and focused on their client. If you need a haircut I'd checks outs Legends!!! read more

My boyfriend came here to get his hair cut by Enrique. His hair came out the best it's ever been! I definitely recommend this Barbershop and my boyfriend enjoyed his experience. He said the vibes were cool and everyone was nice. read more

I have been going to Legends for years. Yes the haircuts are amazing. Everyone that works there does a great job. The anchors of the shop Jess, Fern and Johnny are awesome and welcoming guys, who will have you looking sharp in no time. It can get busy as it is a shop in demand so pay the 5$ bucks and make an appointment. Legends is hands down the longest running, original and easily the best shop in Ventura. Do yourself a favor, stop going to super cuts and get a real cut at Legends. Your lady will thank you. read more

Best Barber I've ever been to , i come here quite often to fade my hair and trim my beard . Top notch service by everyone who works here . Jesse is the man . read more

This barbershop is pretty cool - John was my barber today. Good dude. He has skills with the clippers. You'll go from looking raggedy to looking Rich in no time. Stop by walking in or make an appointment. The ambience is great and you will enjoy the wait. TVs are playing sports and everyone is smiling and enjoying life. Laughter is a great sound to hear as your getting through a rough time. Relax and enjoy your hair cut time at Legends. read more

Legends Barbershop - Legends - Barbers Near Me - Ventura, California

Before a recent job interview, I went in for a manscaping to make me look more presentable to the prospective employer. In case I'm misusing the term, what I got was a facial hair trimming ($10). The staff was friendly, the pricing reasonable, and the shop is located just a few hundred yards from home, so I'll be going back soon for a straight razor shave which I haven't had in years. read more

Hubby, Johnny, didn't shave for November to promote awareness for Prostrate Cancer Awareness. His Grandpa died of that. His bucket list--want to do before I die-- is to get a straight blade shave. We did a little research and decided upon Legends. They are VC Reporter's Best Barber in Ventura County for over 3 years. We walked in without an appointment. We were warmly greeted by Jess (one of the owners). Jess is personable, easy to talk to, down to Earth, & very knowledgeable about his craft. Hot towels, a little bit of the electric razor, and, of course, the blade. Hubby looks great! We will be back every year or sooner! Thanks, Jess. P.S. Fernando is a funny guy! He is trimming another customer's goatee. He did great work and cracked up the waiting patrons. The last thing I did, at the store, was to tell Jess (the owner) that I just reviewed him and gave him 5 stars. Then....... he says $25! (Speechless. Dumbfounded. Deer in the headlights.) WTH! _______________________________________________________________ ***** WEIRD**** We called on Saturday for hours and prices. We were told $20. It would cost an extra $5 for an appointment. We didn't make an appointment. I called to see if they were open today- Monday. I was told they were open until 6:30. We were charged $25. (Say WHAT!!) We tipped $5. I think they deserve 4 stars for this inconsistency. My husband wants to return monthly, so I will leave this rating a 5 star. If there isn't consistency in pricing, I will promote OTHER BARBERS! Ethics is everything. Please see past reviews. _______________________________________________________________ Dear owners, I invite you to make this right. Johnny loved this place. Ethics = Everything! I will edit my post if you rectify the situation. _______________________________________________________________ read more

I'm not from Ventura. But visit often, had some time to kill and stopped over at Legends after yelping barber shops / reading reviews and weighing options. Decided Legends looked like it had it all going for it. I was pretty specific about why I was looking for, had longer hair but just wanted to fade the sides keep length on top.... I literally walked out with a short comb over. on top of that, it's super uneven and lays awful now, super short and the side are still as long as they were when I went in. super disappointed in all honest. Also had my beard trimmed, which was also a failure. it was very uneven and I had to go home and trim off more length just to even it up.... definitely was like throwing my 30$ away and not only that now I have to go get another haircut to fix and no time before xmas (tomorrow) I would definitely not recommend unless you know a specific barber. read more

A small shop with a huge following! We pulled up to find dozens of guys waiting for their turn to get handsome for the weekend. We were seen by Adrian who took the time to greet my son and make sure he felt comfortable before starting the clippers. He made sure the length and style were okay every step of the way and made sure he was gentle and light-handed. It's hard to find a barber that not only ensures our kid is comfortable, but does a really great job too. We'll definitely be back to see him for all future cuts! read more

Legends Barbershop - Adrian is great with kids! We definitely have a new regular barber now. - Barbers Near Me - Ventura, California

All the good barbers are gone from this shop. I can't go back after seeing how my sons hair was cut. Small patches of hair left by his sideburns and a fade that I can still see every transition/base line. I had to fix it when I got home myself luckily it wasn't that hard but man. This is the second time I or my son got a barber who can't cut. read more

Came in because I got an uneven haircut at another barbershop (not in Ventura). Not only was Enrique enthusiastic about fixing my haircut and fit me in right away, he also didn't charge me for it. Safe to say I found my new barbershop. read more

Barber literally cut the back of my neck so bad that I had a stranger at the mall tell me my neck was bleeding and after looking in the mirror it looked the the entire posterior hair line on my neck was chopped up with an old razor blade. I thought it was at Strange the barber didn't show me the back part of the hair cut before leaving but I'm not normally picky so I figured how could you fuck up squaring up the next line so I didn't even think to ask. Would not recommend. Also shop looks dirty. Get your tetanus shot before going here read more

We were on vacation and stopped in for haircuts for our 3 young boys and got GREAT styles for all of them. All the barbers were really friendly and kind. Lots of locals and also completely welcoming to us. My four year old was dying for a Mohawk and Legends didn't disappoint! read more

Jess trimmed my hair today (I'm female) and did a fantastic job! My hubby and grandson have been regular customers for years and always have gotten great haircuts , but I was desperate to get a trim after months without seeing my regular hairstylist- and Jess graciously offered to do it! Shop was immaculate TSA always and all safety protocols observed -- Thank you Thank you!! read more

Adam is the best. His customer service, attention to detail is second to none! Always a great cut! Great barbershop! My husband won't go anywhere else! Thank you Adam read more

Have been searching for decent place to shape my beard and decided to give this place a 2nd chance. Did ok on the shape but trimmed and lopsided my stash that I have been growing for 1.5 months...Never again read more

Easily the best in Ventura. Nice guys, great location, cool atmosphere, and professional barbers. You can get the same cut in Malibu for $120, or go here for a ridiculous 18 bucks. Go Dodgers! read more

Legends Barbershop - New do! - Barbers Near Me - Ventura, California

These guys are amazing and have a great attitude as well. The wait may be long at times as they welcome walk-ins so if you are on a time crunch schedule an appointment. Having an appointment may cost you a bit more but time is money. It's family friendly too and I have felt perfectly comfortable to bring my boys in with me I need a haircut. read more

Went in with a called in appointment as a first time .person I was recommended to wasn't ready when I arrived.. the cut I asked for was not what I received and felt very annoyed when told. Was done by results .very disappointing Will not I repeat will not return read more

The only place I took my son since he was 5 years old. Now he's 20 and lives in Santa Barbara, he still comes to see Jesse and the crew!. Never disappoint and worth the wait! read more

My usual stylist wasn't available & I needed a cut before going out of town for the week on a work trip. Came on a recommendation and glad I did. They took me as a walk-in and Johnny cleaned me up just as I asked. Super happy with the results and would highly recommend to anyone thinking about stopping in. read more

I brought my 3 year old here. I loved the environment. My son isn't comfortable with getting his haircut alone yet, but the guy let me sit with him and put a cover on me to prevent hair from getting on me. I honestly didn't care but him taking the initiative shows how thoughtful they are. Although my son moved a lot his HAIRCUT CAME OUT GREAT ! :D and he got it as close to the picture that I showed him. Super thankful and definitely coming back! read more

Johnny had me looking right after super cuts messed up bad. These guys are cool and they let me walk in near closing for a quick cut without any issues. My new shop for sure. read more

Clean cuts great conversations, what more could you ask in a barbershop. The friendly staff at Legends will make you feel like family in no time. I also highly recommend Fernie for cuts and Beard trims! read more

Sometimes, with the growth of franchise "salons" and budget haircut locations, it's hard to just find a good, men's barbershop. Legends is the exception, and I'm glad I found it today. Great haircut, good price. Attention to detail but nothing fancy. That said, they can handle whatever style you're looking for. I will definitely come back. read more

Went to Legends today and Adam gave me a great cut. My beard was all raggedy and he used a lot of care to get it under control and get it more healthy. The shop is nice and clean, with ocean breezes and cool tunes. Also I watched Carlos in the chair over and he was busting out clean fades with care and precision. These guys are doing it right. Cool music, too. 5 stars for a great haircut and more. read more

Best kids cut in all of the lands. Seriously. Went in for a trim, but didn't expect the most handsome cut my boy has ever had, at a great price! read more

Legends Barbershop - Barbers Near Me - Ventura, California

Classic barbershop! The guys are friendly and professional at a reasonable price. My son (6) and I both got our hair cut with great results, we've found our place! .........and the straight edge neck shave finish was a classy tribute to a time past! read more

I took my 14 month old to Legends for his first haircut. The owner, Jess was very skilled with a wiggly baby. He had an apron to fit a baby, a DVD player + TV to play cartoons, a lollipop and a baby's first haircut certificate. He took his time-even though every chair in the barbershop was taken and there were people waiting. We can't wait to continue taking our son to get his haircut at this gem. Prices are visibly posted at each station. read more

Legends Barbershop - Owner, Jess & my son...the shop had great decor and more importantly, was extremely clean! - Barbers Near Me - Ventura, California

I got a new style of cut yesterday by Jesus and he did a phenomenal job. It usually takes me 2-3 days to get used to a new haircut but I lived this right from the start. This guy knows what he is doing and be gave me a wonderful cut. They are very professional, the atmosphere was great, they use great tools, the shop is very clean and they are very friendly. What else could you ask for. Do yourself a favor and check this place out read more

Leaving this after giving this place one chance too many. Basically, if you don't have an appointment (which they upcharge for) you're seen in order of how much of a regular you are. Knowing that it's taken 45ish minutes to get a spot before, I specifically called ahead to see the wait. 15-20 minutes, two guys waiting. Cool. Get there 10 minutes later, one guy waiting. So I sit and wait. Throughout, regulars come in and ask if there's a spot. They get seated and trimmed. I wait. About an hour into my 20-minute wait, I give up. It's better when the owner's there, but when he's not, good luck getting a haircut if you're not a regular. Two stars because it's a pretty good haircut if you have 60-90 minutes to wait. read more

Upadate July 2015- Adrian effin killed it. Perfect style, perfect cut. Spent about 15 seconds with him showing him a few pics of what I had in mind. He confidently used his own style and creativity and did a stellar job. On another note, this place has the absolute best vibe I've ever experienced at a barbershop. If you don't like it here, I don;t know what to tell ya. Sept 2014- Christian is awesome, the shop is the best I've been to in Ventura. Stopped in with no appointment, thought they looked busy when I showed up I only waited about a minute. Friendly, professional work that doesn't take all day. No BS here, just good guys taking care of business at a good price. read more

Went as a walk in.. walked in first , no one told me anything at all. THe place had about 9 barbers and only 1 guy taking walk ins. Despite some barbers who had appts they still had time on their hands afterwards. I was literally there for 2 hrs and 5 min to be exact and not one word was told to me by a barber. Some guy even came in who had an appt for 5:30 and none of the barbers knew who he was or who he scheduled it with... smh read more

It doesn't matter who you get, these guys are all so good at what they do. They are also great with kids, which is a huge plus. Highly recommend! read more

Severely disappointed. Our first time here was a wonderful experience for my sons first haircut 2 years ago. The service today was awful. We booked 10am appointments for my 2 kids a few days prior, we show up and the guy wasn't even there yet. He showed up half an hour later and had an awful attitude because his coworker called him out on making us wait. Then he decided before he started he needed to go to he bathroom and 15 minutes later he was still gone, so we left. Not only that but $30 for each individual CHILDRENS haircut is unbelievable. There are some wonderful people at legends and granted a lot of talent, but it was a shame to have such low grade service without any recognition by the barber when he showed up. read more

Me and 4 co-workers visited Legends while in town for work. We were all impressed with the level of expertise demonstrated by all of the employees. Next time I am in town on business I will definitely be back. read more
