This place is one of the best-kept secrets in town. The prices are great, they do a good job, and are super personable. Wait times are usually around 5 minutes, and they a good job. Overall, each stylist does comparable work. Not too sure how they do with Women as the majority of the clients are Men. I found these guys during COVID-19 and everything was shut down. I can't say I have ever gotten a bad haircut from them, although reading some of the other reviews, some people claim to have -- The odd part of that is whenever I am there, I always watch to see what other people are getting and have not seen anything particularly bad...so I am not sure what they are on about. Antoine in the front is really nice and loves to talk sports , the others are fairly quite, but after the second visit usually will tell you about their kids. Overall nice family-run business. read more

Always a great cut from Anton. He's my go-to barber in Cali. I met him through my brother. Quick, clean, and friendly guy. I have not seen one disappointed customer in the two years I've gotten cuts. read more

Great prices and they always have quick service! Definitely recommend giving this shop a try.

Fast, inexpensive, friendly staff. Knew exactly what I wanted, showed her a photo and she made it happen. I wish that I asked her name so I could book an appointment next time! read more

This will be the best haircut you've gotten for $11 dollars in your life! Don't let the price scare you. If you are in the search for a great taper or fade for a haircut then you HAVE to come to Today Barber. I have been coming here for a little over a year now every three weeks and have gotten haircuts from every person and can honestly say every time they cut it, I get at least a few compliments from people saying how clean cut I look. Tammy, Anton, Kenny, and the others all do a fantastic job for listening to what you want and getting your mop of a head cleaned into a nice mane. Sign in is outside the building where you can put your name, number, and preference on barber if you'd like! Each barber has their own methods of getting your hair to how you want, and if you don't know they have posters of what each hair style looks like for those beginners! All in all, Today Barber helps turn that Frankenstein into a Franken-FINE read more

Perfect little spot to stop by for a quick cut. Was in and out within 40 minutes and the cut was the best fade I've gotten for this price.

Took my dad here as a walk in for a shave and hair cut (shave his head). It was early on a weekday, they took him right in, asked what he wanted and got to work. My dad is particular about his appearance but he's aging and can't do things himself as much. He usually bics his face and head, they guy left just a little hair and explained it would prevent in growns. I appreciate he was thoughtful and helpful with my dad. The guy did a great job and my dad was happy with it. The place isn't super modern or super clean, but it definitely got the job done. Watched several others getting their cuts while we were there and everyone seemed to be liking the work. read more

This place is awesome! They're quick, good and reasonably priced. When in Newport, I always pop in here when I need a trim.

Great cut and service at a fair price. Friendly staff and they have lollipops! Today Barber rocks! read more

Small barbershop with cheap price for a fade. Only $15 (exclude tip). Not the place you would go for long and meticulous service, BUT they did the job quickly and they delivered the style that I requested. Can't speak for complex style or cuts. But if you're looking to save money on your simple 2-weekly cut, this place highly recommended read more

First time a lady gave me a haircut. It was ok but kinda lacking, So i went back and tried with a guy with glasses. He cut it little weird too. For the third time, I tried with little older but shorter male barber. This guy didnt understand English much, and totally messed up my hair. He nodded like he understood me and messed it up. I got pretty upset but accepted it and took like 1.5 mo to grow my hair back. I called prior this time and the old guy said he would make it up. Then this time he really messed my hair up. Like literally almost bald spot on some parts like rats ate my hairs. I wonder if he did it intentionally cuz I raised a voice last time when he messed up my hair. Mind you, every time i got a hair done here, i tipped 10 dollars no matter what. So the 4th time was my trial. That was it man. If you really dont care how you look and save some money cutting, you can go here. But just be aware that only one dude, who cut next to the main entrance speaks English and the rest dont, and you risk getting your hair messed up, like really bad. read more

I love coming to this place. My friend told me about it and it's a cool atmosphere. They're quick and good. Very efficient

This one goes to the older lady with the glasses who cut my hair, forgot her name but she is really good. I showed her the picture of the style that I wanted on my phone and she went right to work. She chopped off about 6 inches off the top, i was tired of my long hair. She knows exactly what to do. She is very detailed, she cleans up my hair off me multiple times, not just at the end, before she went back and cut some more with the clipper, I didn't have to watch her doing it since I had my eyes closed because I feel relax, but I could just feel it that she is great with the clipper. She also helps me style my hair as well. Can't believe they only charge $11!! Most places charge TWICE as much!! I would rather support local business than those chain shop like SportsClip and Supercut. So if you ever want a good quality haircut, come here!!! If you forgot your mask, they will sell you one!! I will be back for sure!!! read more

Today Barber - I show the older lady with the glasses the pic of the left and she works her magic and gave me one of the best cut I ever had!!! - Barbers Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I grew up having $12-15 haircuts, and everything about this place reminded me of my childhood. Pleasant Asian barbers working efficiently, no frills, no hipster hype. I want to believe that good barbers can still perform well with $15 plus a good tip. But I was horribly mistaken. I can't speak to the male barbers but the middle-aged female barber gave me one of the worst haircuts in my life. I showed her a picture with medium-short length and she proceeded to lop off 1.5-2 inches without hesitation. She used a razor on the sides of my head, and then used the razor to trim the top.. She used the scissors for maybe 2 minutes. She even had the nerve to ask me at the end if I wanted a shorter cut. In one way I went back to my childhood.. when my mom used to give me uneven haircuts. read more

Worst haircut imaginable, I've never seen let alone had such a horrible haircut. Asked for a mid fade combover and got a hard part almost on top of my head she had me facing away from the mirror the entire cut so i didn't notice until it was too late I also got a bad skin infection called folliculitis from the dirty unkept clippers this cheap haircut has cost me almost 700$ in after care. 100$ to attempt to fix the poor haircut, 2 200$ dermatologist appointment to get the infection fixed blood work and a culture test of the infection. This place should be shut down immediately by the city!!!!!! read more

My wife is handicaped. And some guy parked on the blue guy. She asked to the establishment to tell the guy to move his bike. Everyone laughed and mocked her. This is disgusting. read more

Been going here for many years there's only one guy who can really give a decent haircut other that everyone else will mess your hair up.

Asked for a mid skin fade. Instead I got a military haircut. There was no fade at all. I should have not paid for the service provided that day. Will not be returning back there. Seems like nobody there knows what they're doing. Bad work. read more

I love Today Barber! Everyone is really great, I've been getting my haircut here for about 5 years now. Great price for a great cut!

Like many others in this area, I've been really hoping to find a barber that was finally opening after the 4+ months of Corona closing. Once the phase of barbers being allowed to open went public, I immediately tried looking for places that were going to open soon. This place reopened right on June 1st, 2020. In my opinion, they're doing a good job of being sanitary and ensuring safety for any customers to get a haircut. There's plastic dividing each haircut station. Every barber/employee is wearing a mask of some sort. They take your temperature before you can enter the building. You as the customer need a mask as well. They have protective wear on their hands. As others have said one of the greatest things about this place is how inexpensive it is compared to other places like Supercuts. It's $11 at a minimum for just a regular haircut, which is what I got. The tradeoff is that it's Cash Only so make sure to have some cash on you before walking in. I've only been here once and I had Anton cut my hair. He was a very polite and chill guy. He was very thankful for me being patient for waiting and for being understanding about bringing a mask inside to get a haircut. We also had nice lighthearted talk as he give me a #3/#2 buzz cut. One thing to note is that during Corona season, you can NOT call in a reservation. You have to drive to the place and sign in your name in person. You can then choose to schedule an appointment later on in the day or just wait for availability. Keep in mind that even when I arrived at 9:30AM-10:00AM on a Monday I still waited roughly 30 minutes since regulars were there. Once people start realizing this place reopened it'll most likely get even busier especially if you go after 5:00PM or on Weekends. Other than that I have nothing but nice things to say about my experience! Will likely come here again. read more

I've been coming here for years and sadly now I'm not going to go anymore. I tried to tell them every time how I want my haircut, but they continue to do their own thing when we get to a certain part in the cut. I hope they learn to listen to their customers more read more

Best barbershop in OC! All the staff are very friendly, professional, and welcoming. My go-to is Anton, and he has given me a perfect cut every time. The attention to detail is amazing and he spends quality time on your hair. They can do lineups, fades, tapers - you name it, and their prices are unbeatable. I've been to a ton of different barbershops, and this place cuts better than the pricier spots I've been to. Location is convenient being right off the 55 and there is always plenty of parking right in front. Make sure to call-in for an appointment at least a week out since they get booked up quick. read more

This barber is nearby at my workplace, so I decided to try it. I came before noon and was surprised they were not that busy at that time. One guy is available, didn't get the name. He asked me how I wanted my hair, but it seemed he didn't understand me well. So I showed him a picture of the way how I wanted. From the beginning it was okay, he took too long to cut my hair while the other lady already had her 4 customers and I was not done yet. He cut my hair too short, he is the worst barber ever. read more

Long overdue review for my boy Antom, and everyone else at Today Barber. I've been coming here for the last 5 years at least and walk out feeling fresh, clean and looking good every time! Antom is a gem of a barber, great cuts, awesome personality and has some great hands! My barber for life!! read more

I've been coming to today's barber since January 2023. The whole staff are always very welcoming to me. I'm always satisfied with their quality of service when it comes to my haircut. The energy in this place is always great and amazing. Thank you to all the staff. Blessings to of all yall! ANTON appreciate your quality of service, and haircuts! TOMMY thank you for the talks bro! MINH Love you laugh keep lighting up the room! read more

Awesome. Professional. Quick. Reasonable. And I've walked away each time being pleasantly surprised with how good my hair looks. And some pretty great conversations on top of that. Come here. It's worth it. read more

First time coming I went to Andy's chair (older gentleman with glasses) and he messed up my hair cut. I asked for a high taper on the side and back only and he started lining up my whole head for a fade. I instantly saw it was already too to late and told him I didn't want a fade. He asked "didn't you want a high fade?" He got confused what a high taper was and showed me pictures that were low tapers by the ear. I pulled up a picture and he said "oh." By time he finished my haircut I don't even know what I was left with. One side showed more skin than the other. Wish I went to someone more experienced, not sure if I'll be going back. Probably the quickest haircut I ever got too, in and out in 10-15 minutes and not in a good way. Gave 3/5 because I didn't experience a cut from the other barbers who have good reviews. read more

Yelp did me right today! This place cranks! Barely waited and my son was in and out in 20 minutes. Fresh to death. The skill level is obvious. These are professionals and very good at fades. So many ppl in and out during our short time there. Kinda neat to see. It's all dudes so no frills. Very reasonable for a kids cut $11! Guess we found our new barber. Thanks yelp! read more

Today Barber - High and tight!!! - Barbers Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Family owned and operated small business is what I look for to patronize. There prices are more than fair and less then $20. I like the rolling tool boxes they use to store there clippers and shears etc. Definitely a man's place to get a hair cut. Patience is required since it is walk ins only. Great customer service and lots of smiles from the staff. read more

If you want to find a barber shop in the OC that gives the most consistent haircuts around, Todays Barber is the place to go. I've been going here for over 5 years and I have rarely left unsatisfied with my haircut. All the barbers are very friendly and welcoming. They charge $11 in cash for a general haircut which is dirt cheap compared to all the corporate barbershops around. (I would recommend stopping by the Stater Bros down the street to get cash back if you didn't carry cash with you) The only downside is that is does get pretty busy at anytime you go in but don't expect to wait too long because they move along pretty quick. They sell the pomade Suavecito here for $10 which I always pick up when I'm running low at home. I've been using this pomade for more than a couple years and It's the best hair product I have used to style my hair. I would recommend purchasing a container to try it out. read more

If you're looking for a solid barber with strong attention to detail, look no further. I've been consistently going to Antom for over a decade and his price/service is unbeatable. Quick and efficient. 10/10 would recommend read more

Family owned business where they know how to take care of their clients. Antom is the best, his sister Mindy is super popular, and their mom also cuts hair really well. Hard to beat a good quality cut like this for the price. If you want to book with Antom you may need to schedule an appointment but otherwise walk ins are totally fine read more

This review is long overdue. I've been taking my boys here for the last 3 years. My boys are very precise and detailed about their haircuts and in the past have complained of every barber I've taken them to. Finally, I found this small barber and it turns out it's a hidden gem! Now my boys won't let me take them anywhere else, even after we moved further away. It's worth the drive and you can't beat their prices! Most affordable haircuts in ALL of OC. Minh (mom) and Mindy (daughter) are my boys go to. They never disappoint. Cozy environment. Plenty of parking. What's not to love about this place? Oh and did I mention my 3 boys and I are in and out of here within 30 min! read more

Located near the 55 S Freeway and ever so crowded area of Costa Mesa, this gem of a barber shop always delivers consistently awesome haircuts and customer service by a great Vietnamese owned family and friends. The two older ladies at the front are always friendly and welcoming but I always go to my buddy Antom. He's been cutting my hair since forever and I can always rely on him to fit me in and always expect a great haircut and fade from him afterwards. Budget-friendlier than most places now, give them a try because you won't be disappointed. read more
