    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

    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.

    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!!!!!!

    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!!!

    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!!!

    Here is how this barber is handling giving haircuts during Corona season. They also take your temperature when you enter the building.

    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.

Such was my day, In Newport the other day. I visited a friend at his office with a view of the Pacific Ocean and the bay. Both views were peekaboo's however, delightful, and fun. Then I cruised into my favorite fish shop - the Crab Cooker - and got a small slab of albacore with some tartar sauce. Lunch handled! Then I looked at Yelp for barbershops in Newport Beach. Sure enough - Byrd's Nest came up. I read the reviews and all were quite good earning them right near five stars! I cruised in myself to find out more and sure enough, the stylish young gentleman Barber named Josh Ochoa was available and ready to go. I used their app (Vargaro) to check his availability before cruising in. Josh took great care of me, even a slight discount for paying cash, I was cleaned up and ready to go in a matter of 50 minutes. I had a beautiful day in Newport. I would definitely see Josh again for a haircut and a delightful conversation. Fly on into the Byrd's nest and enjoy it.
