I have been going to Star back 1994 through now and has always been best barber to-date. Always good fade, knows how to recommend styles by age by looks and you can count on her for her professional skills! Always recommended read more

Received a haircut from Sharon, she is really good. It's not the same ajumma from before as she's been cutting my hair since 6th grade but I like Sharon's style, cut it smooth and nicely for me. I will be coming back! read more

Sadly. The owner retired and another person has taken over her location. The previous owner knew exactly how to cut my hair without saying a word. read more

Myung is an exceptionally skilled, patient and amazing barber. She will gladly accept your requests but always makes the most accurate and suitable suggestions for your head and face shape as well as hair length, texture and volume. She often requires only her scissors and comb to shorten and straighten your fade with accuracy and precision. Each haircut comes with a shampooed wash and afterwards she even gifts you a small yogurt drink (like Yakult). I do appreciate the treat very much. There's a comforting sense of mutual gratitude at the end of every haircut. Adult Cuts are $30 and open Thursday to Saturday, 10AM - 4PM. read more

Had low expectations given that they don't take appointments and it's $20. I asked for a zero and not to cut the top. She buzzed it and I got nervous when I saw no fade. She did the slight fade and blend all with the scissors. You know people have been cutting hair for years when they can scissor a fade just by eyeballing it. I can confirm the shampoo and wash followed by a liquid yogurt is free. Tip the lady. She understand everything you tell her even though English may not be her first language. read more

Very good barber. She doesn't rush and takes her time to give you a really good haircut. The price for a haircut is $30, which is higher than my old barber, but I think the price is well worth it. Simple, no frills decor. Will be coming back. read more

She's not called the Scissor Samurai for no reason. If you're looking for a fade, this is the place. I've been going here for years. Best times are to go before lunch during the weekdays. If you decide to go during the weekend, there will be a wait. read more

I had intended to go to another shop, but I made a u-turn when I saw the Star Barber sign. I walked in, and the place was empty; I had no idea what to expect. After the cut, she motioned to a sink and said, "Shampoo." I was a little nervous because I thought the cut was $25...what add-on am I getting??? All was great! The total was $25 and totally worth every penny! Don't forget to tip well. When I left there were 5 people waiting. Definitely worth the wait! read more

A hidden gem amongst the hair salons and barbershop. This is my first time getting a haircut from this place and after reading all of the reviews here, I could definitely say that this is a hidden gem. At first glance the place doesn't looked like much but this awesome korean lady who helped me gave me advices on how I should cut my hair based on its form and to top it all of she did an amazing job cutting my hair by scissors. The overall experience was at the price range of $25 which also includes hair washing and after that she taught me how to style my new hairdo and gave me a korean yogurt drink. If you're looking for the best quality haircut and you're in the area, I really suggest you should stop by Star Barber and give it a go. read more

I went here for the first time today and was pleasantly impressed! She has an accurate attention to detail with the scissors. Price is well worth it for the haircut, shampoo, and towel. I'll definitely come back. read more

$20, cash only, no appointment. The barber is an old Korean lady and she is really nice by old Korean lady standards. I really like how she mainly uses scissors. No frills kind of place, but they shampoo your hair afterwards and give you a free Korean yogurt drink so it's great in my opinion. read more

I really like this lady's style of cutting! 101% ninja style, she uses all technique combining of buzzcutting and mostly cutting by scissors. From talking to her she is very humble , has been cutting hair for 46 years and had owned the business here for 23 years so she really loves what she does! The price is $15 , a little pricey but totally worth it! She gives you a bonus shampoo hair was, with a relaxing head massage and then a nice little drink at the end to top it all of. Even on a Tuesday I had to wait for her to finish another person's hair and also had somebody wait for me to be done so she is really popular, imagine how crowded it'll be like during the weekends ! She closes on Sunday and Monday and opens on Tuesday- Saturday . Very awesome place. I would say it's worth 20 mins to drive to her place!! read more

Star Barber - Waiting for my turn since I did a walk-in! The waiting seats are comfortable and she doesn't rush it which I love - Barbers Near Me - Cypress, California

The experience of getting a hair cut from her is amazing. She usually does a cut that suits your facial structure, or you can tell her what you like. I usually go with the former. She'll ask if you'd like a 0/1/2 and you can have her shorten your hair more. She buzzes your hair first before using a scissor to sheer the rest off and it's an art form to watch her as she goes little by little and evens the hair out. Once you get your cut, she shampoos your hair, followed by a nice massage and then a little yogurt drink! It's honestly one of the best experiences you can have that's different from the usual barbershop. I highly recommend coming here. She's only open WED-SAT until 7 so that may not always work out for some people but definitely one of the best businesses to support! The price has gone up to $25 but definitely worth it. read more

First off the haircut is $20 and you get a lot for what you pay. My first time there I was very confused because i have never had a place that also shampoos and washes your hair right after. I thought it was extra but ITS INCLUDED! You also get a yogurt drink which is great after a long day at the office. Very nice people there and always come get my hair cut there now. I always come out of there looking good. read more

Okay, this barber shop is spot on even turned my horrible mess of a sidepart into a clean korean cut middle part with curtains. When my cut was finished, I thought it looked awful and nothing in the picture, but after like 3 days, when you groom yourself and make sure the hair is fine, the hair starts going to its positions and starts turning like the picture you requested. So if you get a cut here and immediately think it turnt out awful, wait a couple of days and you will be shocked at how good it is. The owner of the shop is also very kind and sweet. read more

Terrible haircut! She didn't know how to cut hair and she can't even properly do a straight partition of hair in order to cut! I asked her but she couldn't change! I had to ask her to stop amidst the haircut and she still had the audacity to ask for full amount! I paid in full without arguing but i think she needs to learn how to cut hair! read more

My how I missed the aroma of cigarettes on her fingers. I haven't been to Star since she left Crescent and Moody 4 or 5 years ago. Foolishly, I didn't follow and as a result have been settling for unsatisfying cuts for the past half decade. Fade including shampoo costs $15 but I would pay the fee just to watch. A kind, senior citizen who clearly takes her glucosamine and fish oil seriously because the lady can move. The dexterity of Edward Scissorhands especially as she circumnavigates the top of the fade with just a comb and shear. Poetry in motion. FYI -- she will be closed July 4th - 8th. read more

Star Barber - hours - Barbers Near Me - Cypress, California

The nice korean lady here does great fades for men. She has cut my husband's hair a few times now and it's come out looking clean each time. She also is sweet to give you korean yogurt drinks afterwards :) read more

Used to drive past this place all the time, but I decided to check it out after having an expensive and bad haircut at somewhere else nearby. Been coming here for like 2 years now and the price and service is great. She's always got great advice for maintaining my hair and it's just a really friendly place. No bullshit upselling like sports clips or the other local barbers, just a cut and a free drink and you're done. read more

This is the gold standard. I went to her for years when I lived nearby and still make the trek from Los Angeles every so often. Such a cordial lady and the best scissor fade you'll ever have the pleasure of witnessing. Every haircut ends with a shampoo and a yakult yogurt drink. You are getting your money's worth here! read more

Whenever I'm in this area from this day onward and need a haircut, this will be my go-to. It all started when I was looking around the area to get my hair cut and saw so many options to choose from. I was attending a wedding I didn't know which to pick until I read all of the interesting reviews of the lady who cut hair here. I arrived at this barber shop first thing in the morning. I walked in the door and everything seemed normal. She immediately told me to take a seat. We were prepping with the paper and towel until I saw that she didn't take card! I didn't bring cash so I ran to the closest bank and came back. She was very patient and was not irritated at all. So again we started and she began cutting. To me it was a normal cut: trim the sides, then cut the top with the scissors, then to the shampoo. It was only after the shampoo that the magic happened. Like these other reviews, I was very impressed with her skill and technique as she faded the sides with her scissors. I couldn't help myself from smiling as she trimmed with speed and accuracy. It was definitely a unique experience and the cut looked great! Before I left she gave me one of those yakult or similar style drinks. Felt like a kid again after the doctors or something when they give you a sticker or lollipop after the checkup. TLDR: 5 stars, barber was very kind and respectful, her skill and technique when she fades the sides were impressive (~*~magical~*~), yakult drink post cut is a nice bonus read more

Best haircut I've ever had. Just moved to Cypress and this will be my permanent barbershop. Don't know her name but an older asian lady cut my hair and she didn't disappoint. I didn't think she would cut my hair right because I've always had my hair cut with a male barber, but man I was wrong. I asked for a half on the sides medium fade and scissor on top. I was surprised she used scissors to fade the sides but it turned out great. $17 and she shampooed my hair. Great deal. Thanks!! read more

Quality: 5 Price: 5 Service: 5 Asian hair is notoriously terribly hard to style to those who aren't experienced. I've tried a few other places but none can compare with the lady that runs this place. I agree with a review where they depicted the owner as a wizened old samurai lady - she does amazing fades. With scissors. Then gives you a yogurt drink at the end. I drive 20 minutes to see her. She mentions there are those who drive 45 min+ to see her and I frankly I'm not surprised. It's $15 for a general guy's haircut and I gladly tip her $5 every time. Also, she gives a brief neck rub and/or head rub during the trims. It's nothing major but adds to the overall quality of service. read more

I was a little scared of the area at first. It feels vacant and run down and by the tinted door, I wasn't even sure if this place was still open. I regret not coming here with the boys in my family in the first time. The next time we came, I gathered up all the courage and went in. It's small - nothing fancy. The owner is a korean lady who's so gentle with hairr. Anyway, the cut was amazing. She worked with precision with only two tools, again, nothing fancy, but the cut itself looked fancy. At the end, she gave us yakult-like drinks free! Very kind. Oh, and her cuts are worth more than what she charges so you better give her a good tip, scumbags. There's a reason why everyone's giving this place 5 stars. Give this place a try and if you don't like it once, try it again. Try it again and again and again. Become a regular customer and you won't regret it! read more

Very friendly, quick service, and you get a Yakult at the end. Probably one of my best haircut experiences. read more

My husband has been coming here ever since we moved to this neighborhood in 2015. The barber lady has been consistent. Now my little one is 4 and he loves getting his haircut with his daddy. She does an excellent job on fading. Very neat and precise. Also very affordable. read more

I love this lady. She cuts your hair fluidly and skillfully. She does scissor work that I never seen before. She washes your hair and gives you a yummy yogurt drink at the end. Only thing that might be a problem with communicating what you want, sometimes she just does what she feels is best and for me I always loved the results. others may not prefer this. read more

Only one word can describe this place: amazing! Clean, watch cable, sofa seating, kind lady, yogurt at the end, leave with the haircut you want! I would not go anywhere else! read more

Wow. Fantastic barber. She knows how to make a beautiful fade haircut. The couple of times I've been here, I didn't even need to say much and just let her do her thing. Got my hair cut here the day before I served as a groomsman at a friend's wedding and it was perfect. I even received a few compliments at the wedding. She charges $17 for a standard male haircut and I usually make it $20 even. Wish it could be a bit cheaper, as I've been to good barbers for $10 cuts, but this price is pretty much par for the course and could be worse. But the quality of the cut is worth it. If it were cheaper I imagine I'd come every month! read more

Just started going there and she is very good. Luckily I live a few minute from there and as one of the below reviewers, she is a samurai with the scissors. read more

This lady is super barber...super clean...this place is just awesome ... Price is 15$ which is so reasonable to a scissor hair cut with washing your hair and a complimentary dessert :) read more

Alright this place is average to a little below average for me. I didn't get what I asked for. Although I was upset with the outcome of my hair. It is still important to respect her and tip her. She was definitely nice, and gave me some yogurt drink. But again the haircut was very generic and wasn't blended well or proportional for me. Anyway don't let my review stop you. Give her a try anyway, I am just picky about my hair too. read more

I also have been a longtime customer of Star Barber (+10 years). No matter what city I live in, I make it a point to only let her cut my hair. All the other barber shops (Fantastic Sam's, Supercuts, etc) I have gone to before going to her do not know how to properly fade the sides. She does most of it with just a comb and scissors! She's very talented in what she does, and people drive many miles just to get their hair cut by her. She's definitely worth trying out. It may be a little more expensive than other places, but you definitely get a quality haircut. read more

Came here early one Saturday morning to get a quick haircut. I was the first customer. I felt a little worried that the older women was going to mess me up. But, it was too late to turn back so i proceeded to try to explain my request. I think she just understood what i was looking for so i put my trust in her. All was A-ok at the end with a little yogurt drink! read more

Ohmahgerd. This lady is seriously the secret master of all that haircut greatness. In my 32 years of existence, I've never had a fade done with scissors. Then to finish the great cut, a drink to follow!!! Go here NAO!!! read more

This hair salon is by far one of the best because "mom" (it's what I call her) gives a really good haircut and fade. She takes her time and I like how I leave with exactly what I requested. She also gives you a yogurt cup when you leave :) give it a try! read more

I was looking for a new barber shop and I found this place, which is literally 5 min walking distance from my house. Had good reviews so I tried out; no regrets. She does great fade and for $15 total she includes shampoo. Not the cheapest place around but is definitely worth it. read more

One of the best haircuts I've had! It's also the first time I've had someone smack my hand down when I went to check the length and told me "it perfect". Scissors only, very fast and only $15. She even told me the best way to comb my hair because the way I've been doing it for 26 years is all wrong... Great lady and a great cut. read more

Been going here for over 8 years.....I come in and don't even need to say anything! The lady(reminds me of my own grandma) knows exactly what I want so I just sit and relax for a bit until everything is done. You also get a yogurt drink afterwards... read more

I walked in, almost walked out cause there was a stone faced woman doing the haircuts. But I ended up waiting for the cut, and she did a really good job, and she was nice as well! read more
