Unfortunately, I don't recall any particular person's name working at this location; thus my review…read moreis of the location as a whole. I first found Hammer and Nails in my hometown of Brea purely by happenstance (and in effort to find another place for a good haircut, perhaps dabble in pedicures, besides Sport Clips). Curiosity drew me into this establishment, but by golly, it was the experience that had me stay until I eventually couldn't. From the moment I first walked in, I was blown away by the aesthetic-- definitely tailored towards guys. What's more, for my first visit, was offered a complimentary beverage (my go-to was always a woodford reserve whiskey on the rocks-- puts one at ease during a nice cut). Be it a haircut, a mani-pedi (shoutout to the Jack Hammer combo) or even a simple facial treatment, this place rocks in terms of quality, service and attention to detail. Add to that some TVs to view your shows (shoutout to the mani-pedi crew; I remember at one point you were even offered headphones to listen to TV while getting work done), and this place is worth its weight in gold in terms of what they charge (even if the memberships had a slight increase in price during my time there). In fact, it was so good that I even brought my girlfriend along for her mani-pedi (she absolutely loved it). Definitely put a smile on my face. If I did have to criticize one thing about Hammer and Nails, it wouldn't be about this location (to be fair, I always scheduled my appointments here), but about the availability of locations in general. The memberships provided are perfect (if a bit costly) in what they provide-- if you are to remain in SoCal (or just so happen to cross paths with a location across the nation). Unfortunately, it is with this critique that I had to cancel my membership; while the service is stellar, and the membership transferable for use across the nation for any of the brand's locations, there is simply no presence of the brand in MN at the time of writing. Had there been, I may have kept my membership indefinitely. A weakness to be sure, but a testament to the brand's potential overall. If I do ever make any return trips to CA in the future (and my hair is running long), I'll definitely stop by just for old times sake. Cheers, guys, and take care!

Hammer & Nails in Brea is my go to place for my haircut and pedicure appointments…read more They have a quiet relaxing atmosphere with large screen TVs with headphones if you want and offer anything from bottled water to liquor as part of the experience. Women are welcome here but it's mainly a place for men to get their hair..nails or feet taken care of. The staff is excellent and professional. There are memberships available but not mandatory...but the perks are worth it. Also there is an app so you can make appointments and choose which services you want. Tina gives the best haircuts and Dianna gives top notch pedicures!!

It was my pleasure and privilege to have my hair expertly barbered by Moss…read more Now when I was a little boy being raised by my grandparents in Carson, among the many lessons they taught me was that "A rolling stone gathers no moss," their pithy way of advising me on the importance of settling my roots in one place. A lesson I've taken to heart, exemplified by the 26yrs my bride and I have raised our Family of five in Diamond Bar. This being my maiden visit with Moss, I've NO IDEA if he's an itinerant barber or if he's a founding member who belongs on the Floyd's 99 Mt. Rushmore. But judging from the effortlessly smooth, precise way Moss glided my barber chair coupled with the precise, gentle ministrations of his hands...all perfectly coiffed with the patient, genteel demeanor he extended towards me despite my status as the "world's most boring hair cut client¹," demonstrated to me that Moss has actually -just like his utterly perfect name suggests- acquired an impressive arsenal of artisinal-caliber talents. This is a consummate professional operating at or near the pinnacle of his craft. ¹ I am legally deaf, must remove my powerful hearing aids before undergoing any haircuts- Rendering me incapable of joining in the jovial bonhomie that livens so many barbershops I opted for my standard cut, a #2 taper in the back, #2 on the sides and a light trim on the top. He delivered!! And, yes, I will absolutely return. So should you. Final note- At the conclusion of my cut, I was mildly dismayed to discover that my hair cut was $41...some fourteen bucks and more than 50% higher than the $27 haircut fee that Google AI claims that Floyd's 99 charges. I hate to get enmeshed into price disputes, so I quietly paid my bill. But I DO WISH someone from Floyd's 99 would look into the glaring discrepancy between Google's posted fee and their actual fee schedule. I never mind paying for quality work like the outstanding work that Moss delivered...but pls be upfront w/ me.

I explained I wanted a dramatic change and Angie explained that we should cut it shorter and then…read moreif I felt like it wasn't short enough we can go back and shorten the length. She explained that it would be best to leave some length on top so I don't feel a sense of regret from too much removal so quick and during our next appointment if I've decided to go shorter than I wouldn't have that sense of regret. She's a therapist, not only a hairstylist. The best in the business, if you haven't booked an apt. with her I highly recommend you give her a try.

My previous barber had left after 5 years who I went to after the person next to them at the same barbershop moved back home after going to them for almost 15 years... so, you can say once I find some one good in a good place, I'm a pretty loyal customer. I wasn't used to the style of salon/barbershop (individual spaces/booth) but it was more cozy then being in a store with a bunch of other customers and barbers all lined up. Atmosphere was great and playing some 80's tunes was awesome. Gave me some good tips and suggestions while cutting my hair and being a new place, new barber (or stylist), just figure "sure, why not try it!" Everything turned out great and do plan on returning again!

Phew! This could've gone south fast, but I'm so glad they did the right thing - now THAT'S excellent customer service! Jacque asked what I was looking for, we talked, I even showed her a couple pictures, & she made recs to fit my hair type & face, as well. During my cut, I was very relaxed & at ease. Her assistant was so sweet to even make me a warm cup of coffee, which was perfect for the rainy weather outside. The music was so my style... I even told her I haven't heard Missy in so long!
