Great, nice old-school barber shop. Mark knows his business, and you can count on a great cut each time. The decor reminds me of the shop my father took me to when I was a child. Plus, the conversation is worth the price of admission! read more

MILLERS BARBER SHOP. Mark has been at this location for 26 years. A true original punk rock barber, a place to hang. Support him as the building is being sold and his lease will probably go up. If you're ever in Costa Mesa OC go see him. Great guy, great cuts,great price. Broadway and Newport Blvd. read more

See all

This is a real deal barber shop. One man one mission. Good old fashioned hair cuts for the right price. I too was greeted with the "by appointment" growl and I said no problem I was in town from South Dakota just needed a trim and thought your place looked good. He gruffly said "sit down - be with ya in a few". He continued to cut the gentleman in the chair and then did mine next. I am a regular when in CA now. Always a great cut and good conversation. Thanks Mark!! read more

Wow! Saw this place while driving by and figured what the hell. All those OG punk flyers can't be wrong. What a great fucking guy! GREAT cut. Even greater conversation. Yeah. Make an appointment! But when you do you won't be sorry! read more

Mark just moved two doors down, where the lashes salon used to be. The new digs are a little more spacious, but don't worry, it's essentially the same place. No price increase (Mark has been charging $18 for a while now). Still the best barber in OC. Tip: you really should make an appointment before you go, but if you've been a regular for at least a couple of years (like me), he'll sometimes take you as a walk-in if he's available. About half the time I call, I can get a same-day appointment. read more

Been going to Marks shop for about five years now. He is a great guy and barber. If you want to know anything about the local area, Mark is the one to ask. One thing: if you want him to give you a cut, do both Mark and yourself a favor, and call for an appointment. The sooner the better. read more

Idk, just drove here cuz I saw the good ratings online, walk in and he immediately yells "hey, I'm by appointment"... so yeah good to know, not taking new business I guess read more

ATTENTION: This is a BARBER SHOP, not a salon. Pass on by if you're looking for a cut out of GQ Magazine. Mark does haircuts that can be found in a Guns and Ammo Magazine or an episode of Johnny Quest. And if you're punk rock, he's your man. Price? Who cares, he could charge me anything and I'd still go there... If I could give Mark six stars I would! read more

Mark may come off as a little rough around the edges when you phone in your initial appointment, but as soon as you meet him in person, you're sure to find that he's very down to earth, talkative, and quite funny and self deprecating! Miller Barber Shop has just one chair (Mark is the only barber here), a mirror on either side, and tons of punk rock posters and memorabilia covering the walls. His services are offered by appointment only, and Mark closes up shop "around 5pm". There are no fancy frills or foo-foo-ness to a Mark Miller haircut, however this gentleman is an obvious true master of his craft. Upon meeting me for the first time, with only quick, casual visual inspection, he knew how long it had been since my last cut, detected where my thick mane tends to stick up, which direction(s) it grows, and that my last barber had used thinning shears. He was also able to quickly gauge exactly how I'd like my hair cut. Lastly, because of his extreme accuracy, Mark had me looking good and clean cut in just 15 short minutes. He charges $18 (cash only) plus tip. Thanks to my always sharp-looking friend Joe L. for this awesome referral! read more

This place rocks, Great haircut from a down to earth guy. Quick service, Perfect price. Came here to get a cut fixed after Hawleywoods did a piss poor job. And came out beyond happy, I will definitely be back! read more

So here are the basics of Miller's Barbershop. Mark is a excellent barber. He has great skill with a scissor and a set of clippers. Being a solo shop owner he is has a schedule to keep. He is to the point and concise. The man is working. So, don't get personally offended when he is short with you on the phone. He is being honest with you. Mark is a true old school barber. He gives exactly what you are asking fron him. A damn good haircut. He's got edge and grit other barbers can only dream of capturing. The shop is genuine and for adults. Mark is equally genuine and no nonsence. If you are looking for great hair cut, Miller's Barbershop is the best call. 5-stars from me. read more

Mark is a stud! He will always make time for you when possible, he is very talented and a very nice guy. I would recommend him to everyone, except I don't want him to get too busy so that when I need him he is there (Just Kidding Mark). Go see him, he is the best! AE read more

I just had my hair cut with Mark for first time and it was like I'd been seeing him for years. Im new to the area and was looking for a good barber shop experience, let me tell you I wasn't disappointed. This guy is awesome. He asked me a few quick questions, did a great job assessing how my hair falls then gave me a perfect cut in 20 minutes! Best part is he was super friendly and chatted me up the whole time. The cut was only $18 and I would have gladly paid more. I'll be back next month for sure. Note: if you're looking for a stylist this place is not for you. It's a guys barber shop. read more

Never dissatisfied, I come here when I need it done right. Great vintage rock posters

Just moved to Costa Mesa from NYC. Stopped in one day and his book was full. No worries, booked me for the following day and it was all good. He took a minute before the cut to get a feel for what I wanted, and that's exactly what he did. I'm stoked that I don't have to experiment with other places anymore. This cat is born and bred in CM. Knows everyone, and once we started to talk about baseball it was really cool to hear all the guys who I consider legends who gotten a haircut with Mark. Giambi and Nettles and Don Larsen to name a few. Mark's the kind of guy who busts balls to see if you're gonna be tool, and if you don't get all twisted he makes you feel right at home. We took turns f*ckin with the telemarketers that were calling him. He's my new barber. read more

Not only is this a great Barber, its also a great local business. When you walk in to Mark's shop, you get an entirely different feeling than when you walk into a salon or a place like supercuts. The decor is full of classic nostalgia - newspaper clippings, sports memorabilia and men's magazines. The best part of the shop is that its one man's business and passion - he doesnt try to upsell you 'product' or try to get you to buy a rewards card. What you get with Millers is a great haircut at a reasonable price with amusing conversation in a very comfortable environment. The only downside is that his hours are limited to weekdays and saturdays - so saturdays get crowded. Make sure to make a reservation read more

Born and raised in Costa Mesa, Mark is an awesome barber and a great guy. The best cut in town, hands down!

There's two places I go to get my hair cut - Miller's out in Newport Beach and Public Barber Salon out in San Francisco. I've gravitated towards these two places because they have a similar edgy feel abou them, and give great quick haircuts. I've been to Miller's twice and both times he's been efficient and punctual. The shop is covered with old posters and photos of old rock and punk bands - there is one Marilyn Monroe picture somewhere. Miller is an interesting guy which prompts good conversation. For the haircut, Miller asked a couple of questions about how often I get a haircut and what style I wanted, and went from there. I wasn't disappointed. read more

I'm writing this review for my husband, who is now a loyal fan. He likes it because: 1. $15 for a haircut. 2. The guy knows his stuff. 3. The reading material is great. Enough said. Just go. read more

Was there today. Best haircut in SoCal hands down. read more

Not a Five but a strong Four. I've seen complaints about the price not acceptable for a 10 minute haircut. To me that is a bonus. If my haircut looks good why should I sit around in a barber chair when I can be doing other things. I like that he is fast, fast, fast. I've got shit to do. I'm not going anywhere else. If you want to sit around and chat like you're in a beauty parlor, go to a beauty parlor. If all you want is a man's haircut and you want it reasonably priced, this is your guy. read more

Called to inquire about their services. The guy cut me off and said he was too booked up to help me. I wasn't even trying to come in today...just wanted to know if they did facial hair, so I could make an appt for next week. He was so rude. Didn't even listen to my question. Glad I'm never going. read more

Went to Mark after a friend recommended a few years ago. Best cut I have ever had. No frills, very quick once you get in the chair. $15 cash. Walks ins are welcome, but Mark's book is usually full, so call ahead. read more

After breaking up with my last barber shop, I yelped around and found Miller's. I called him and he squeezed me in for an appointment at 9a.m. the next day. As others have mentioned, he has the coolest shop, with punk fliers from back in the day (80s) and other stuff. Lots of sports and music stuff there. It cost me $18, plus I gave a $2 tip. The haircut was good, he was prompt, no waiting, no BS. He seems a little curt on the phone, but since he is appt. only he mentioned that people sometimes think he is a dick; telling a soccer mom that he doesn't do kid's hair and the like. I'd go 5 stars, but I was in the Army a long time ago, and the detail work and razor work I've had before was unparalleled. I might try him again, for convenience's sake, but $20 for a 10 minute haircut is a little high. read more

Mark is a hair craftsman, just like the barbers of yesteryear. He takes his craft seriously, and it shows. He's pays attention to the little details like I do, and that is why i come here. The place is decorated with pictures of rock bands, broads, and hot rods--what more could a guy ask for? Beware, he is a busy guy--but like any respected OC plastic surgeon, you might have to make an appointment for this respected barber, or you might have to wait a few minutes. But you will be rewarded with a tight hair cut and a straight razor shave. He doesn't put up with anybody's shit either, so you better bring a good attitude into this place. Give him an inch and he'll give you a mile. You know the rest......Cheers! read more

Miller's was awesome.. Great barber and all around swell guy. This guy is fast and reasonable. It was a pleasure. Thank you mark

Great place to get a haircut and have good conversation. And the shop is awesome as well!!!

Mark sounds like a dick over the phone, but is the coolest dude in person. By the time your ass hits the chair to the point of exit, you've had a ten minute haircut that looks fly as hell. read more

Mark is the best barber in the country and possible the world. I've been all over both and never had a better haircut from a better guy. If you are a real person white, black, asian, gay or straight Mark will treat you right. If you're a pretentious dipshit go elsewhere. In Mark's shop you will find everything from billionaire ceo's, celebs, athlete's or just regular working stiff's. He treats everyone the same and with respect as long as you do the same. The haircut is great and I always give him a big tip because 15.00 is a joke for the quality of haircut you get at Miller's. John M read more

I walked into this place and saw Mark in his element. He's an old school barber, quick with the wit and with plenty of stories to keep you busy while he's snipping away. Good dude, make a reservation, I got lucky on the walk in. read more

Miller's a great guy. Great experience, personality, and is flexible. Works to give you both what you want and what he think looks good.

Mark does a killer job, but don't expect a stylist. If you're looking for a simple, cheap, and clean cut then this is your spot.

Cool little local Barber Shop. Mark is great guy, friendly and I like my hair cut a lot. I'll be coming back.

Excellent value, super cool guy. Highly recommend.

The conversation with Mark, the great cut and the environment it's all done in makes me never want to go to another barber

Mark is an experienced barber that I will start going to regularly. He is a Costa Mesa native with a great conversation. Try it, it will probably be your new local spot. read more

This guy also had a shitty attitude. Kept repeating, "I'M NOT A HAIR STYLIST, I'M A BARBER." Sounded like an old angry man who was self-conscious about the fact that his hair cutting skills may be lacking. These are are truthful statements I have personal knowledge of and I am not making anything up. read more

Mark is the best. Cool guy, cool location, cool decor & killer skills. Have gone to this Costa Mesa "original" for years & everytime he gives me a great cut that everyone I know notices & says "Now that's a good cut." The rought part, his book tends to be full & I can't always make an appointment, so sometimes have to settle for another barber, sorry Mark. read more

Mark is the man, what else can I say? The guy gives great haircuts, you're in and out of the chair in less then 15 minutes and you can't beat the price... Just remember, he's a cash only operation, so make sure to hit the ATM on the way over. read more

He has perfected his craft. Get on the books and bring cash.
