Max was really good, knew what he was doing, very friendly, and interesting stories... definitely worth it, and I'll be coming back. It was a very very good haircut. Michael read more

Max is always providing great service. I bring my dad here and Max always takes the time to ensure my dad's haircut always looks nice and clean . Thank you Max ! read more

Service requested: Trim hair. Quality: Both my husband and my son had their hair trimmed. They were both nicked and bleeding on the backs of their necks by the end. My son was clearly jumpy whenever the barber used his air compressor on my son's neck, and he cried because hair sat tickling his face and then got into his eyes. I had to ask my son to stop rubbing the cut hair into his eyes and ask the barber to clean my sons face multiple times. Vibe: Dirty, disorganized, the entire business looks like these guys patch it up themselves and they're clearly unskilled in that. Strong chemical smells hurt my nose and throat until I left and got fresh air. They use loud compressed air to 'dust' hair off clients as if theyre detailing cars. They were playing weird music, not English. Dingy. Also, do they have a license for the beer in that fridge? read more

Max is the owner and an incredible barber. I would highly recommend stopping in here. Very fair pricing as well!

Max did a great job to trim my beard and he gave me the best haircut. Really enjoyed the service!

Do your self a damn favor and fix your hair.. bc what you think is good on your head right now, is trash.. trust me... The way Max Cuts my hair, it is the perfect length when walking out... not that gotta wait a week for it to look nice stuff. read more

Max's Cuts - overheard this father and son speaking on how happy they were with their haircut.. Good vibes.. this gentleman looks genuinely happy. - Barbers Near Me - Lake Forest, California

This place is a joke. I don't usually care about hair... usually just do it myself in garage .. just clip away and shave short... nice and simple..but had event coming up and didn't want to shave my head. Found this guys web site.. said $15 for senior haircut. Showed the guy several photos of last time I got haircut and what I wanted.. he said he understood. He starts cutting.. taking forever.. had to tell him several times "need shorter" as he was just trimming little by little and I could tell he was acting like he was wrapping up. I want a haircut.. lots of hair needing to be removed to get to photos I showed him...finally couldn't take it anymore...NO idea what he was doing ...I got up and said enough.. this is ridiculous.. I'll go fix it in my garage... and he tells me $25! I said "$25?" I just was on your web site an hour ago to find you and it is posted at $15". He says " that was a long time ago.. we didn't have time to change it" I asked how long ago? He says "5 years". I said " you didn't have time for 5 years to update your web site?".. he says " I don't have technical guy". I paid him the $25 for the mess they created..I'd never go back.... I hope I can post photos of what I asked for and what they did. Comical. These guys should not be allowed near a head with scissors read more

I'm very picky and was incredibly skeptical as I've been seeing the same barber for hair and beard for 8 years. I gave these guys a shot and they did a perfect job. I forget the older gentleman's name (Randy?) but the dude was an absolute technician; very careful and very detailed. Service was outstanding. The guys working there were polite and easy to talk to. I felt awful I even had any apprehension at all. I guess I found my new spot! read more

I'm really disappointed. I request the haircut in picture and as you can see they didn't do the haircut I requested, either something good. It's not equal, the front part is uneven for an inch, the back side is also not equal, goes more to one side than the other. If you look side by side also looks like Zik Zak. I saw some bad parts that I kept on telling the guy to fix but it seems he to not understand. Try to pass the machine where the error was and he tried to fix something else. I wouldn't come back to this place and if you think going there save your money. I got charge 25 Dlls for something I didn't request and doesn't even look good. read more

Max's Cuts - Front part of my haircut - Barbers Near Me - Lake Forest, California

I asked for a cut and hair color. The first time, I was charged for the cut when the cut was finished, so I asked for hair coloring. When I asked her about hair coloring, she didn't seem to understand and another employee translated for me and she did my hair coloring. The second time I asked for a cut and hair color in the same way. After the cut, they charged me again for the cut. When I asked about hair coloring, a guy replied that they cannot do it. I would not have asked for a cut if they didn't do hair color. I don't know if they don't understand English or if they don't have the skills to color hair, but I gave them one chance but I won't go back. read more

The Max, the Myth, the Legend! Finally opened his own barber shop! I've been going to Max since he worked back in Tustin as he's the only barber in Orange County I'll let touch my hair. His fades are always on point and I consistently get complements after a fresh cut. Very excited for him to have opened up his own spot! Highly Recommend! read more

Have been to Max's several times over the past few months. Men's clipper cut is $20, Senior rate is listed as $15. Max is very nice and gives a good haircut. read more

Max and I have great conversations as he gives me affordable and great haircuts. I moved to SoCal last year, and tried a few others that were much more expensive, or complicated (vibrating chairs!). read more

WTF is this ? How is anyone supposed to know how much a haircut is when their price has some weird symbol followed by a 5. All the other prices are clearly listed. Why not the most important one? The regular cut. Weird. read more

Max's Cuts - Regular cut costs weird symbol followed by a 5. Awesome. - Barbers Near Me - Lake Forest, California

We went here because we needed to redo my sons hair after another barbershop left it absolutely disgusting. After searching for barbers I stumbled upon Max out of pure luck. Once we got there a gentleman help us and my son told him exactly what he wanted and the gentleman agreed he could help out. I was surprised of the amount of detail he spent on my sons curly hair isn't easy to cut but he made it look easy. I wish I would have got his name. But he did a good job and I think we found our permanent barber. read more

This place is a real hidden gem. I needed a new barber since moving to the area. There's a total of 3 people working throughout the week and all of them are super friendly. The prices are one of the cheapest in the area but it's not just the prices that sets them apart. Their customer service is amazing. Max and the other male cutting my hair were super friendly, funny and interactive. Even as a first timer, you can tell that all of their customers are repeat and loyal. They make sure that you not only get a great haircut for a bargain, they make you feel very welcomed. read more

I had a fantastic haircut at Max's Cuts.. Max did an awesome job. Good value for money.. Max is a great guy as well.

Finally got around to getting my haircut during the COVID-19 pandemic. Went to Max's because he was close as I was getting work done to my truck by the street. This guy is going to be my new barber! He did an amazing job! And definitely went the extra mile, and clearly takes pride and care in his work. read more

Max may be a good barber, but the lady he has working for him is absolutely awful. She completely ignored what my son repeatedly asked her to do to his hair, and he left the salon in tears with the worst haircut he has ever had. I am not sure if she did not understand him because of a language barrier or if she just did not care, but, either way, this lady has no business cutting hair. She saw how upset he was and just shrugged. Max watched the whole scene unfold and did nothing to try to help resolve the situation. I have no idea why this barber shop has a high rating on Yelp. Maybe they pay for reviews? read more

Max is a nice guy and a good barber. I found him because I was desperate for a normal haircut in the Irvine area and luckily found him on Google and Yelp. He knows how to cut conservative Asian hair for sure especially the sides. He uses the correct and normal techniques that were missing from two other places I went to. I will be a repeat customer! read more

Awesome haircut Very professional haircut w decent price Like location convenient and price is very affordable I will back for more Thanks read more

Edgar and Jacob were both really cool people and the vibe in there was really chill. Overall great experience. Good haircut too.

Max's cuts is a great place to get a hair cut. The prices are extremely fair and the quality is like no other. Max has been cutting my hair long before he went out on his own. Here is a picture of Max cutting my hair on the morning of my wedding. read more

Max is the man! He takes great care of me every time I come in , he's been cutting my hair for more than 2 years

Max has been cutting my hair for just about 2 years. Stumbled across him in Tustin and followed him to Lake Forest ever since he has opened up his own shop. Soo worth the drive out there bc my hair is cut the same way every time!! I've never been able to say this about any other barber. I've even shown him pics on how I wanted my hair cut and have gotten exactly what I wanted. So stop wasting time and money on wherever you're going bc this is the spot! Thanks Max! read more

I had a cancellation today and decided to get my haircut. I searched yelp and found Max's Cuts, and I could not be happier with the haircut, the service, and the conversation. The whole experience was genuine and impossible to find in your average barbershop. A lady their washed my hair and massaged my head and it was exactly what I needed in these times. Thank you Max and company, you guys are amazing! read more

Knowing Max and his business for a year now, I still can't believe how fantastic someone could be. Max is a very inspirational business owner, and he always stays on top of everything. He's super knowledgeable about his skills, and he always makes sure that he maintains the best quality. With the growing number of barbershops that are only self-centered and lost in their financings, Max's cuts stay one of the few, and probably the only, barbershop that cares about its customer. The prices are all about the quality, not just about the time that he has spent on it. If your hair needs more care, you'll have max doing his best, regardless of the time. read more
