I called straight up Barber shop yesterday morning around 8 and was able to get a same day appointment for 9:30. Upon arrival we were greeted by a nice gentleman who welcomed my 3 year old son by name with a with a big "Hi!". we waited about 5 min or so for Sergio to finish his client and then our turn. Sergio was so patient and soft spoken with my toddler for his first real barber shop cut with a fade. He took the time to show him every instrument he was using to show him it wouldn't hurt. all the guys, and their dog Diesel were very friendly and the barber shop had a welcoming family friendly vibe. After Sergio was done with my sons haircut he gave him a small toy and lollipop for doing a great job. my son was ecstatic. Me and my husband are extremely satisfied with not only my sons cool new haircut but at our experience at straight up Barber. We will be returning. Thanks Sergio! read more

It's been along time since I have been in here. But still a true original Barber shop. It feels like home when you walk in, still great service, great shaves and cuts, exactly what your looking for. The over all vibe of the shop is a authentic and true barber shop. If you can't wait or make a appointment, then go to Supercuts or Fantastic Sams. This would not be the place for you. I've brought my kids here for their first hair cuts and still coming back. read more

Appt on time and always friendly staff. Frankie (my dog) even gets treats! Win win! Sergio does a great job! read more

Really wanted to give a special mention to Stace, the owner of the shop. It's extraordinarily rare that you're able to call in, talk to someone that's a master of their craft, and feel immediately well taken care of. My appointment was set quickly, efficiently, and expectations were set clearly. My barber, Ramon, did an absolutely amazing job on my cut itself. He was clear and concise - but did a great job getting me comfortable as a first-time customer. I felt immediately at home and I'll be getting my cuts here from the shop on a regular basis every time I'm in the area. Great personality, great cut, and great attention to detail - one of the best cuts I've ever had in my life. Honestly, the only reason I'm writing this review is because I want others to have the same great experience that I did. Most of the people that were there were regulars. It just goes to show you the standards, culture, and, ultimately, results that people come here for. Already looking forward to my next visit. Incredibly amazing team/staff and a complete gem in the Brea area. Honestly, I don't even understand how other barber shops are able to compete with this one. Couldn't be happier and already shared my experiences with friends, who'll be stopping by soon. read more

Stacy, Sal, Gabe & Joe always keeping things fresh. Long lines at times but worth the wait.

Let me tell y'all a real break down after reading some of these negative yelp reviews about Strait up. If you're looking for a new place to cut your hair tune in below. I've been coming to this barber shop for the last 4 years and my first thoughts were just like the negative reviews, but that changed after understanding how it goes. This barbershop stays busy and you will wait for hours before actually getting a cut. Every barber here has built their resume of clients. Some have longer waits than others and for those who haven't really built one are the ones who usually have an open chair and taking all walk-ins without a selected barber. **I highly recommend going there before opening and signing your name on the wait list as they leave that outside for everyone to sign. As for me I aim to get there by 8am to sign in as they open at 9am (saturday) and there's always names already on the list. While I wait I usually go run some errands until then and return around 11am. Times fluctuate depending on your barbers wait list.** Waitlist Directions: Write name down and your barbers name/initial or leave blank for the barber with an open seat. They now have a phone number section listed due to covid to not have everyone wait inside the shop. Depending on how fast your barber cuts you can guesstimate your time from there. My dude Gabe cuts each client within 20mins from what I've learned (3 cuts/hr). He is my GO TO!! So if you're waiting patiently at the shop and you see customers roll up and sit down right away while you wait, its because they've been on the wait list and just returning back. Barbershop talk is expected so just be aware if you bring your kids, overall they're all nice and respectful guys. Multiple Tvs for sports and music blasting. Price cuts: $25.00 read more

Love this place, I feel like I'm visiting family when I take my boys to get haircuts there. This place never disappoints. read more

Strait Up Barber Shop - Love how they did my oldest son's hair. Totally obsessed with the cut. - Barbers Near Me - Brea, California

Good old fashion barber shop, everyone is great, I've seen from small kids to adults every time I've been in there. Fun place!!

Sergio is the man. I am older and grew a beard during covid,,, sure I am not the only one... I had been looking for someone to help me keep it looking more business like... I found him, his name is Sergio. On top of that I have a sudden trip coming up and called Sergio last night and he is coming in early today to take of me... my beard looks great and it is all thanks to Sergio this is truly an old school barber shop, if you live in this area and are looking for one, I really think it would be hard to find a better one... read more

Had a Haircut with a barber there probably a few days ago, cool guy I enjoyed the atmosphere and everything but my haircut It doesn't match at all what I told the guy. Frustrating since I've been growing out my hair for a year to get a length required for this haircut. Got a short haircut from the guy when I told him I wanted to preserve my length with a specific style in mind. Really unsatisfied wont be coming back. read more

This place SUCKS! They are open bankers hours which is not conducive to people that work normal jobs. They're closed on Sundays closed at 4 o'clock on Saturday. When are you supposed to get your haircut? The only people that seem to get their haircuts are people that are friends of the hairdressers there the only ones that are willing to take appointments. Don't even bother. I've tried many times wasted almost hours just waiting to get a haircut. This place sucks.. read more

Took both my sons here to get a haircut and they really made me feel comfortable, I've been to barber shops before and they are usually cold and uninviting. I will definitely be coming back! read more

Strait Up Barber Shop - Horrible job done by the older guy there. - Barbers Near Me - Brea, California

Let me start off with the positive. They give excellent haircuts. BUT, customer service is terrible. I have walked in 3 times and was turned away because I didn't have an appointment and no appointment was offered to me. They have weird rules in order to book with a certain barber. I called a week in advance to book something on a Tuesday. I was then instructed that I should call the Sunday or Monday of the same week and then I could get in. So, I did as instructed only to be told "Oh we're closed that day". You mean you couldn't have told me you were closed the week before when I initially called to book??? Now I have to rush and figure something else out. Needless to say, I won't be coming here again. It's too bad because they have talented barbers but aren't interested in getting customers read more

Couldn't have asked for a better local barbershop. Always a clean cut and never awkward silence or an F'd up do. Awesome spot

Great Barber Shop. Got a fantastic hair cut. Highly recommend them.

If you want a great place to get your cut, great vibes, great cuts. People are super friendly definitely would recommend this place read more

Stacey is awesome. Flexible, a great conversation, and is great with cutting my kid's hair too!

Positive experience while I was desperate to get a haircut last minute because the person I've been seeing for years was unable to accommodate me this week and I needed a cut bad. Everyone here is very friendly and my cut came out fine. There's a good chance I'll return. Appreciate the hospitality and the cut! Cheers to everyone at Strait Up! read more

This is our first time here and it's a great experience. I've always been on the look out for a great barber... and finally we found one! Brian is awesome. He was recommended by my nephew and he cut my son's hair very well. My son was very happy with his haircut:-) read more

I found this convenient location close from home. Sergio did an excellent job, fresh and clean.

We were in the area and wanted to get a haircut before heading out of town. Called ahead of time to see what the wait was and the person on the phone said that they should be able to get me in pretty quickly if we came right away... so we did just that. Upon arrival, there were quite a few barbers working and I was able to be taken in right then and there. The guy asked me what I wanted, I explained and off he went with no talk again until the end. The haircut was okay... but seemed rushed, which is funny, since I felt like I was there forever. The problem was that the barber was super distracted. Talking to his co-workers, stopping to text people, engaging in other conversations and or just sitting there. I felt there was actually very little time or effort spent on the actual job. I think my facial reactions gave away my mood as he tried to make small talk after the fact... but I was over it. I just wanted him to focus and finish. Some other things that was odd to me was that nobody bothered to sweep up the hair that was left on the floor. It didn't look like it was recent, but from earlier on in the day. Also, some of the barbers were drinking beer while giving haircuts. I feel like a buzzed barber has the potential of making more mistakes - that's just me. I'm all about a lax environment, but I felt like I was hanging in someone's garage amongst their friends versus being at an actual place of business. Jaime didn't even get his done, we just decided to pay and leave. Some peeps might like this environment, just wasn't for us. read more

Upon visiting and trying out other barbershops, I will not be coming back to this location. The barbers here are friendly, but if you aren't a regular, they won't treat you like royalty. I've been going for a year or two, but no more. No appointments, so be prepared to wait. An hour for the least and at most, 2-3 hours even if you go during slow hours. read more

Really nice, chill old school barber shop. Treat it as such and you still be stoked. Definitely schedule an appointment because they have their regulars, and don't be in a hurry (perfection takes time). Also, I love that they use straight razors, so clean. read more

I've been coming here since July of 2007. It's a great place to hang out, all of the barbers cut great hair and they make everyone feel at home. Life seems to be getting back to normal since Rowland split. The guy who replaced him looks out of place. This is a guys barber shop, so you're going to hear language that might offend some people. If stuff like that bothers you, go somewhere else. I see a lot of people get pissed because they stop letting people get onto the list an hour before closing time. This to me is stupid, it's like a bar calling out for last call. They close at a certain time and the guys have lives too. They want to get home as close as possible to their off time and the only way this is done is by cutting people off. Great place, go with anyone and you'll get a good cut. That includes Lisa when she's there on Saturdays covering for Stacey. read more

This is the best barber shop I've even been. Most importantly, they cut hair fantastically. Highly skilled barbers. Additionally, the atmosphere is really cool - small, cozy, personal style. This is NOT your retail haircut chain like supercuts, or fantastic sams...you walk in and know the people cutting your hair. My barber, Stacy, is a really mellow, down-to-earth, practical kind of guy. Easy to talk to and cuts my hair well. I don't need to inspect my hair while he is cutting. I can kick back, relax, and chat while I know the finished product is quality. This place feels like home after a few visits. I won't go anywhere else! $18 for a cut (plus tip) read more

Strait Up is an awesome local barbershop. They take care with each and every cut, and I have never been rushed out of the chair over the many years I've gone there. People like the care they take, and it creates demand for the ~six barbers they have working at any given time. As a result, the wait can get long sometimes, especially if you go during popular times. The shop is a positive atmosphere, and I love running into Brea friends and neighbors here. While no one likes to wait, there are worse ways to pass the time than watching a game, reading the paper, and hearing the barbers sh*t-talk each other. If I have my son with me, we go play in the park next door while we wait. The owner and the barbers give back to the community and treat people with respect, and that's the type of small business that I love to support. If you're easily offended by the occasional swear word or someone cracking open a beer, or you need an appointment, maybe you should find another shop that suits your preferences...that would result in a shorter wait for me next time anyways read more

A top notch Barbershop with a classic vibe. Everyone there is super friendly and talented in the arts of haircuts. This place has no appointments so the wait can be long. But it's worth the wait. This place gave me the best hair cut ever. I didn't really have to describe what kind of haircut cut I wanted. Joseph knew exactly what kind of cut would work best on my head. This place is a must in Brea! Go you will not be disappointed l!!! Ask for Joseph. read more
