The Kings Club Barbershop

This was a great experience wire to wire. The staff was friendly and efficient, I found Tanner to be exceptional, he did a great job on my haircut and was friendly through the process.
Make no mistake, this is a «guy» place, not a salon with non of the «froo froo (spelling) associated with a salon that happens to cut hair. The shop offered a unique barbershop experience to its patrons. The entire feel was old meets new and the surroundings matched the service.
BE WARNED though, like all good businesses an APPOINTMENT IS REQUIRED. If you don’t make one they don’t do many (If any) walk ins.

Great spot, great cuts. Great for the refined and unrefined gentleman. I saw what Kenny C. wrote… Nice one, Matt.

Pretty rad little barber shop. My friends have gone here forever so I decided to check it out. You know it’s a good shop when you’ve gotta make an appointment for at least a week in advance. Matt cleaned me up good. I’ll definitely be back.

The Kings Club is a great shop for a cut. Mat does a great job and the environment is very laid back. Make sure you schedule an appointment ahead and you are golden. If you want a quality cut for a good price, this is the spot!

Finally a barbershop for the working class! I just got my haircut by Scott yesterday, which was surely the best cut and barbershop experience I’ve had.
The shop environment is low-​key, no pressure, good conversation and professional non-​rushed service. Scott took the time to make sure I was completely satisfied with my haircut, which ended up being my favorite haircut yet!
I really like that they are by appointment only and also take credit card. There are other local barbershops that take walk-​ins if you don’t mind unpredictably of how much time you’ll have to wait, or if you’ll even get seated at all.
The shop has a antique vibe with old photos of barbers and safari hunters. The classic but not 50’s style has more of a gentlemen’s appeal, so kind of between your grandfathers and punk-​rock kids barbershop.
If you value your time and want a great cut, this is the place!

No matter where I move to I always end up driving here because there’s no where else like it. I enter the man cave to a nice draft beer, a cigar, a hot towel, massage & of course a super clean cut. The Prohibition vibe they have going on is very nostalgic & provides great atmosphere & all the barbers are excellent at what they do & are super friendly. I’m greeted by name every time I stop in. Plus it’s the best cut I’ve ever received. Been coming for 3 years & don’t think I’ll ever leave. Thanks guys!

Took my BF in for a haircut as we recently moved to Dana Point and found the only place you need to go. We were treated like king and queen by Scott who proceeded to demonstrate the true skills of a lost art, that of a real man’s barber shop. My BF left there feeling like a million bucks for the small price of just $ 25 and a well deserved tip. If you are a man looking for a great cut, nice atmosphere at a fair price… Kings Club Barbershop is the place and Scott is the Man!

I’ve been going here now for the last 9-​months and its been great! They only take appointments and you need to call in at least a few days ahead of time, but its definitely worth the wait.

The guys at Kings club are the BEST! Mike, Matt, and Scott are some of the most talented hair cutters I have ever seen. They are very good at what they do. The barbershop is a safe haven for men. My son loves it!!! They always look professional, and their barbershop is a perfect man cave, just the right amount of man stuff… Beer if over 21. Nice old school head massage, hot towel, straight razor shave. Just awesome. If you want the best go to the Kings club barbershop in The heart of Dana Point!

I take my four and five year old boys here for a good old fashion hair cut. While they are getting a cut, I enjoy a cold beer and great conversation. Our barber of choice is Matthew, though Scott and Mike are also quite gifted.
This business has class and character. I’ll continue to support these guys. Great group!

I recently moved to Dana Point. This barbershop has a cool mans man vibe, great cut, and I’m looking forward to having my new local barbershop! Thanks Mike, see you in a couple of weeks.

The guys at Kings go way beyond just haircuts. I see a lot of reviews complaining about them not taking walk ins– but when you do a great job like these guys, you are destined to be busy all the time. You should be worried if your barber does take walk ins.

The best haircut ever I’ve been going there for 6 years now on a regular basis all the guys there are awesome Scott’s my barber and always does a great job but mike and Matt do a killer job to. They do exactly what you ask for and the atmosphere is sick! Won’t get my haircut at any place else except for kings club.

I have been getting my hair cut by Scott for years now and it is the best place to get a cut. Cheep cuts for men at 25 $ make it easy on the wallet and the guys that work their are funny and welcoming. Holds true to an authentic barbershop in vibe as well as style.

The best shave I’ve gotten since I’ve move to California. Well done guys! Scott gave me a great cut, and topped it off with a very close, well done shave! My head feels like a Million $ right now!
The attention to detail and the right amount of time scheduled made for an excellent experience. See you soon guys!

Been going to this barbershop for over 10 years. It has changed hands twice since my first visit. First guy was a bit… crusty, shall we say. Ex-​Military, very set in his ways, and I’m not even sure he was there to make money. Certainly never went out of his way to be friendly.
Second guy– really nice, good haircut, but not a good fit. Seemed way more LA (which makes me sound like a douche, but it’s apropos in this case, I SWEAR).
Enter Mike and The King’s Club. First visit, I knew I was going to be stoked. Mike wanted to do the old-​timey barbershop thing up right. Shook my hand, offered me a beverage (ahem, I mean water) and made good conversation. The haircut was professional, precise without leaving a «I had my hair cut today» feel and very patient. Straight razor trim to neaten everything up around the neck and ears gives a guy the ‘pampered’ feeling women get at their spas without sacrificing the masculinity and puffy-​chestiness that guys are slaves to. Great scalp massage, perfect for that day I went in far too hungover.
Good old jazz music and they’ve remodeled the place to be very old-​school (douche again!). It’s like stepping back in time without having to listen to old guys sit around bitching about the good old days.
Here’s what you need to know (for those who read the bad reviews or are looking to find a regular barber) — 30 minutes per appointment, shave or haircut. GET AN APPOINTMENT. It’s not Supercuts, so no shampoo (and it’s not 15 bucks). Guys only (boys of all ages included).
Also, there is a distinct difference in style between Mike and Scott (Matt is still the new guy, haven’t tried him). Scott gives a tighter, cleaner cut. Mike’s cut is much more natural, like you just re-​wound time a few weeks. I like both, so I try to alternate, because I’m a whore like that.

It’s nice to find a mens barbershop that stays true to the basics; a consistently excellent cut every time and a solid atmosphere. It’s a tribute to the 20’s barbershop with a tiki vibe to go with it.
Note: always call to make an appointment. All 3 barbers are solid. I stick with Scott.

The most excellent authentic throw-​back barbershop in SoCal! Mike, Scotty, & Matt will clip and shave you up good — so get cleaned up for the weekend!

I’ve been going here for a couple of years now and have never been disappointed. I used to go to high end Newport Beach «Salons» and I Switched places every haircut. I love that it’s a throw back to the 1920s. No hair dyes or chemicals in the air… just haircuts and a shave $ 25 each.
Be sure to ask for Mike!

Stopped in today for a haircut and found what many other Barbershop’s only try to do.
Old school barbering at its finest. Cuts, Shaves etc…
Good music, good people.
I’ll definitely be getting a shave next time. I paid $ 20 plus tip for the cut and well worth it! Cut, shave the neck and head and neck massage.
