Victorious Barber Studio

This was my first time there, and my first time on Unilocal.Good luck if your on a time schedule, and good luck if your not a usual customer. Further, good luck if your an introvert, and you want to be noticed as next in line waiting in the lobby. Lastly, good luck if you want a fair price. I am all in support of local business, but Victorious Barber Studio only takes care of their usual costumers and is not welcoming to new ones. I waited for two hours, and watched three people walk in off the street, and go ahead of me, and granted; this was on a slow business day, with four barbers working. When I finally got a seat, the barber was nice, but the haircut was not great. I even noticed that the person that got a haircut ahead of me, get the same cut from the same barber, and paid a less than I did! I know this because I saw that same customer pull out a 20 dollar bill (that was including the tip) when it was time to pay, and when I did the same thing on my turn to pay (prices not listed), the barber told be it would more… Very disappointing. It was like «insult to injury». Please save your disappointment and go somewhere else. There are two other welcoming shops in close proximity.

I took my brother here to get a cut, and he loved the way Vickie cut his hair. Would highly recommend this place.

Went to this barber shop for the first time today. Cool shop, however, the idiot that cut my hair is totally incompetent! He seems to be a nice guy, but easily detracted and WILL mess you up. I don’t know his name but he is the shortest guy in the shop, he is in the second seat next to the barber with the dreads. The other barbers were professional and seemed to do good work. Caution! Stay away from the shor f light brown skin guy!!! Will not do business there again.

Wait is always long for a walk-​in. Being from out of town I was inspired and impressed with the old man on the other side of the shop in the back. Not only does he dish out a fine cut, but also has some life encouraging words for men. You have to pay them a visit. Small shop but it kepted up fairly well.

Angelo has cut my hair here, about 7 times now. He always does an excellent job – very meticulous and detailed. A no frills barber shop where you can go to get a great cut at an extremely fair price. I highly recommend.

Great haircut. Had to wait really long but it was worth the worth it. Next time, I’ll make an appointment. If you go, ask for Angelo. He did a really good job.

The guy that cut my hair absolutely destroyed my hair cut. He kept saying how he’d been cutting for a long time but i had patches when i left & he never tapered it like i told him. I watched the other guys cut hair & their clients left looking great. I totally regret going to him. Im sure they’re good but if u go DO NOT let the heavy set man with red eyes (like he has pink eye in both eyes) & a grayish film over one eye cut ur hair. Becuz he OBVIOUSLY cannot see what his is doing. Oh & he also cut me several times. That is all.. .carry on

After driving down to catch a cruise, I was in bad need of a haircut. Fernando hooked me up (and even facilitated a coin flip with my wife to trim the goatee)…nice old school barbershop feel, great service, all you can ask for in a barber. Will definitely come back again…

My drop-​of-​stars is based on the amount of times (each & every) that I was cut by Angelo. Several cuts took several days to heal.
The shop isn’t the cleanest of barber shops, I cringe thinking just how stained the straight-​razor was — surely as it’s either too sharp or too dull.
It’s unfortunate as he does cut hair well.
No apologies or considerations were shared after the weekly bleeds — my friends teased saying my barber must be Sweeney Todd.

To be honest, a barbershop is one of those types of businesses that you have to rate for the UNIVERSAL aspects. With that said, every haircut is different because each barber is different.
I’ve been here several times, along with another barbershop near. I’ve had several of their barbers here cut my hair … needless to say, I now have my preferences!
Here’s the rundown:
*$ 20 haircuts across the board
*Not a lot of seating. In fact, it can feel pretty snug inside if there are 5 people waiting inside.
*Plenty of parking outside, albeit with parking meters
*A couple of TVs running so you can catch the game
It’s a pretty typical, no frills barbershop. I think the real experience all boils down to your barber and the price. If you are ok with paying $ 20 and your barber is good … and has a likeable personality, you should be satisfied.
Tip: Sometimes, there is someone there on Sundays.

This spot is in a nice corner and has a lot of foot traffic. I like the fact that it has a lot of loyal customers. Just sitting here for 25 mins getting my hair cut i saw a lot of people come in and out and the barbers all knew the customers by name. And the ages were from teens to 40’s. The haircut that i got was ok. The front was great the back was a little off. But it was my first time there and my head needs to get used to cutting. So i will diff update review. Oh and the haircuts i saw going out of this place was sick. I mean some of these barbers know how to really get down. Im in the finance business so im a suit guy all the time so i cant be seen with some crazy looking cuts but i was impressed by what they can do.

Made a appointment to get me haircut at 1:00 with vicki, went to the shop and 1pm comes around and shes no where to be found. Call her twice and she doesn’t answer her phone, call 15 mins later and she answers only to find out shes not coming. Keep in mind you have to pay to park near the shop. so I talk to another barber there, shes with a customer and tells me it will take 45 mins. I go ahead and wait 50 mins and then she tells me its going to be an additional 30 mins. At this point I wasted 2 hours of my time, waiting for nothing. Wasted money parking near the shop and wasted my gas going to the shop
All in all I will not be returning here after they wasted 2 hours of my time

So a adult cut is 20 $ not bad for what you get. They have many talented Barbers and stylist. I do recommend a appointment. Vicky is the best ever. might not be able to get a same day appointment so call ahead, She is in high demand. You will know what a vicky cut is after that. Angelo is her son and the young man has skills i think its genetic. Fernando is a master on the clippers so if you like the clippers get in his chair. Shawn is all around awesome, Clippers, scissors her will also have you laughing. the shop has a all around good feel and vibe. that old barber shop charm you cant find any place else, so go! You will not regret it besides maybe a little wait. but worth every green back spent.

Victorious is the best barbershop in the Southland. I have been getting cuts from Vicki since 2004.
Vicki is in high demand so appointments are highly recommended.
Shawn and Ron C. hold the shop down with their street, hip, ‘Fresh to Def’ cutting style.
You seriously can’t go wrong having any of these 3 highly skilled barbers/​stylists cut your hair.
It’s definitely a family environment and the aforementioned stylists have a chemistry that is rare in barbershops.

Fernando did a killer number on my hair. Need a clean up… and i got the cleanest, tightest, buzz clipper cut ever! The man knows how to work the clippers for sure. Will be back!

I can count on one hand the number of barbers that I have had in my life, this is the best. Victorious is my last stop. It’s a one stop shop, I’m a father of three, two girls (11&5 and son (1yr) and we all are able to have our hair done. My daughters love going and interacting with everyone at the shop, my son is getting used to it. I have great memories of going to the barber shop with my father and believe that I’m creating the same wonderful memories with my children. It has that old school feel, professional, good conversation and a unique cast of characters/​barbers. The haircuts are great but the service is even better and well worth the drive from Irvine.

I’m new to the area and looked to Unilocal for pointers to find a new barber.
Shows you, to better look for businesses that have had more reviews than this butcher — oh, sorry — barber shop!
I have not had a less professional hair cut in my life! My barber (I neglected to get his name because I’m never going back there), I am sure, never has touched a pair of scissors in his professional career. I am using the terms «professional» and «career» loosely here.
If all you want is an extremely short buzz cut with no styling whatsoever by somebody who starts to clean and oil his equipment while his customer is already sitting in the chair and repeats that several times throughout the procedure, who chews candy loudly and coughs right down onto your head, who shaves your head with no regards to your instructions and then charges you $ 20 — then «Victorious» is your kind of place!
I am not very demanding when it comes to my head! My hair is so fine and thin — there’s little you can do in terms of styling. But over the years I have realized that there is a major difference in how your hair looks a couple of weeks after the last cut! That’s what I am paying a barber for! I can run a buzzer over my head, chop everything to the same length myself. And that’s all you get at this place.
I had a bad feeling a few minutes into it! But what can you do? It’s kinda too late once the first damage is done. The only comforting thought was: «Oh, you’ve shaved your head before — you can do it again.»

While on a Saturday morning walk, happen to stop in for a friendly chat among all the local customers. The consensus with the chairs filled and those waiting for a haircut this local Barber Studio is top knotch, friendly and the place to get a local haircut.
