I was recommended to this barber shop from two different friends of mine. Cannot say enough great things about this shop. They offer an easy online booking platform, and appointment reminding feature that helps ensure I don't miss an appointment, making the experience effortless and uncomplicated. Additionally the stylists are great! Joel who I have personally recommend several times, is an active listener and effective communicator, ensuring confidence and satisfaction with every visit. Proven results time and time again, and would suggest this shop to anyone. read more

I've been going to Joel for over 6 or 7 years now. I don't let anyone else cut my hair. Very down to earth, and the prices are very reasonable. The shop is very chill, very laid back and comfortable/inviting. He takes pride in his work and knows my style and what I'm looking for and does what I want every time. At this point I just come in and he knows what's to do, which is all you can ask for. I definitely recommend to anyone who wants a great haircut and a good hang. read more

I've trusted Joel with my hair for over a decade because he's simply exceptional. His skill is elite, his eye for detail is unmatched, and his ability to understand your vision even when you can't articulate it is nothing short of masterful.

He doesn't just cut hair he elevates your look and teaches you how to own it. If you're serious about grooming, style, and substance, Joel is the barber you go to and the one you stay with. read more

Joel's been cutting my hair for over 5 years. Never a bad cut and the conversation is always good. Wouldn't go anywhere else.

His location makes haircuts nice and private and his space always has some new decor that makes the place unique. Would recommend 10/10 read more

If you're looking for a chill place to unwind and get a fresh haircut, then Joel at Shave the Mane is the place you want to go to. I've been going to Joel for years now, I followed him from a previous shop he was at because I can trust and rely on him. Joel is punctual, makes you feel at home while you're in the chair. The best part about Joel is that I can rely on him and I know that my haircuts are going to be consistent. I used to go to a barber and a hair stylist before meeting Joel because barbers couldn't get the top of my hair to my liking. Joel actually knows how to give a tight fade and a great cut and saved me from having to make 2 different hair appointments. Booking is a breeze through his website at shavethemane.com and there's plenty of free parking. Thanks for the many years of great cuts, Joel! read more

There was the time he had to talk me out of the " peaky blinders" cut read more

Shave The Mane - Barbers Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I've been going to Joel at Shave The Mane since 2018 and have never looked back. Joel is not only a master at this craft but I thoroughly enjoy his company and the conversations we have during my cuts. As a dude with a busy schedule running multiple businesses Joel always finds time to fit me in and makes sure I am ready to go no matter what. I really appreciate working with him and would recommend him to anyone. read more

I've been getting my hair cut by Joel at least every other week for more than four years at this point, starting when he was at a previous location and I jumped chairs when my go-to stylist then wasn't able to make my appointment that day. It's been a long hunt for a stylist that has both the skill and confidence in clipper AND scissor work. As a licensed cosmetologist that truly just couldn't cut it in salon world, I have mad respect for those that make it to the level that Joel is at. Honestly, I could not recommend him more, not only is he an expert in his field professionally, he also happens to be a great human with an exceptional gift of making you feel super comfortable in his chair. read more

Best barber I've ever had in Newport 100% Great cut and can recommend what would look best on you if needed read more

I've been going to Joel for years now and he is the only person I trust to give me a haircut... and I'm someone who is VERY picky with his hair and has tried so many different barbers. I've changed my hairstyle so many times throughout the years and he's always been able to pull off exactly what I was looking for. read more

Joel is the best at his craft. He's been my barber for over two years and he consistently delivers a great cut. He's dedicated to the service he provides, too. He takes his time and you know that he genuinely cares about the work he's doing. He's authentic. If you're looking for a barber and are like me, it can be hard to communicate exactly what you're looking for. I have an idea of what I want, but, not the right words to convey it. He's always understood the look I wanted and the end results have been better than what I was hoping for. He makes it comfortable to talk about what you're trying to do. He's the barber most people wish that they had. He always finds time to accommodate schedules and he's an all around good guy. I highly recommend him. His new barber shop inside Sola/downtown Costa Mesa is cool, the prices are fair, and there's convenient free parking. read more

I have been going to Joel for almost 5 years now. I have tried many other barber shops and received many bad haircuts from other places. Once Joel cut my hair i have never looked back. He not only knows how to cut like a barber but can also scissor cut extremely well which I find most barbera struggle with. I am very particular about my haircuts and I cannot recommend joel enough! I have sent many friends to joel and love his shop and our now friendship! read more

Best place to get a cut. I've been coming to Joel for about 4 years now, and won't go to anyone else. The service you get for the price is unmatched. Not only does he make sure you are happy with the end result, but he also has the knowledge to find what cut best works for you. I Couldn't recommend him enough to anyone who is looking for quality. Not to mention he's a cool dude, and easy to chat with. He makes it an experience in itself, and there is never a dull moment. Do yourself a favor and check him out. read more

I've been getting haircut from Joel for the last 4 Years. He's my only barber and one of the best I've had in the industry. I typically get undercuts with a skin fade and it's always on point. Joel is truly talented, I've referred several friends to him and now they are regular clients of his. Joel is the sole barber in his new studio. He keeps the spot tidy and clean, also offers drinks upon arrival. Booking is simple on his website and in my experience he's always on time for his appointments. Hands down recommend Joel to anybody that's looking to try a new barber. read more

There's a reason I've been with Joel since his days at Crew, Ronin, and now Shave The Mane - his haircuts are phenomenal. Joel has a fundamental understanding of modern men hairstyles and can service one to your liking. Joel's razor technique is masterful and he may give hair washes to your preference. I also like that he can offer you his own honest take on how you can look your best in case you're harboring any ambivalence. His new workspace is quaint but quite personable. Two thumbs up for his barber shop chair, it's very comfortable. The consolation of falling asleep in that chair is only dwarfed by the satisfaction of the haircut I'll be getting. Stop wallowing in your mess of overgrown filamentous ego and go shave your mane! read more

I've been going to Joel to get my haircut for 4 years and I've never been disappointed.

Finally a reliable haircut for a reasonable price. My girl who used to cut my hair for 6yrs moved away and I'd been on the tedious hunt for someone new. Found him. Joel's the man. Remembers what I like and also offers to switch it up and try something new when I get tired of my look. Also the wife digs his work so that's a first. Easy to book appt and didn't have to wait in the waiting room for half an hour *cough* 18-8 *cough* Highly recommend. read more

Pretty awesome place. Joel was friendly professional and worked quickly to make sure I had a cut I was happy with. The online scheduling on his website makes scheduling an appointment painless and simple. Consider checking Shave the Mane out, a number of my friends recommended I schedule a visit (not sure if they were trying to tell me I really I needed a hair cut...) Anyways, I'm glad I did, you will be too! read more

Joel is fantastic. He has an impeccable memory for how many people he sees. I never leave disappointed, beyond being amazing at his craft, he's also an incredibly courteous and kind human. Always ready for my appointment with a beer or water, and great conversation. Beyond just a haircut my appointments are almost therapeutic, I leave with a weight lifted off my shoulders and my scalp. The place is small, but he's worked with it really well, making it open and inviting while still giving you the feeling of privacy. The if you need a boss cut, go to Shave the Mane. The price, the quality and the personality... you just can't beat it. Thanks for always being there man! My barber for 2 years strong!!! read more
