Main Street Barber Shop

Average very over priced. The place has a very trendy trying to be a hipster vibe.
So many better local options don’t waste your time or money.

Mike has been my barber for two years… Always a five star cut and I get treated like a superstar. I’m not sure about the one star reviews but those people should go to supercuts if they need someone to make them feel secure

Strolled in a little over a year ago for a clean up and 2 things keep me coming back:
The environment. It’s a classic barber shop where everyone is at home sitting back with a cold beverage while shooting the breeze.
Attention to detail. Mike and his barbers provide an impeccable grooming experience because their knowledge and recommendations are tailored to each individual customer. Unlike big chain haircutting businesses where you are just another transaction.

Just found this place through great Unilocal reviews. High quality hair cuts and amazing straight razor shaves. Highly recommended this place if you are looking for more than just a barber. This guy is an amazing friend and makes you feel comfortable in. his shop. Has my business for life now

Nice cozy barber shop — sports on TV — offer you a cold beer when you arrive — $ 20 haircut — old fashioned shop with top-​notch service. Offers straight razor shaves. I’ll definitely be back.

The best barber shop around! Always consistent with service and hospitality. Mike manages to keep the classic style of a barber shop with its look and atmosphere. Never have I found a shop quite as unique as this one. I’ve been a customer for about 4 years now and have always received a perfect cut, mostly because Mike and his assistant are very personable in that they know and remember exactly how I like my hair. I’ve always had a phobia of receiving a hair cut prior to Main St. Barber because no one could ever get it right. Thanks to Mike and Main St. Barber, that phobia is in the past. Thank you Mike for all your great cuts and I can’t wait to come back!

This place is small and quaint. I was offered a drink while I waited. Mike gave me a great haircut. I’ll be back!

I’ve been a customer for over 3 years now and was very happy until my last cut. Mike has been my «Go too» guy when I need my cut. I asked for my usual «clean up the sides and take the bulk out of the top». I’m not sure what happened, he said he didn’t remember how he did it in the past. He asked what shear length we used and I did not remember (why would I). Since I could not remember the details of the shear lengths, I ended up with a ¼″ buzz cut. I was very disappointed and felt that Mike had let me down. He was aware of my concerns and dissatisfaction but he still charged me full price for a two minute haircut. I will not return.

Still my jam! I walked out of the shop today feeling clean. You just can’t beat Mike’s cut and winning personality. You can try and find better but why waste your time? It doesn’t exist. If you can’t snag a parking spot out front, theres a metered lot down by the stop sign. Pop in a quarter and go treat yourself!

Writing this for my husband:
«Hadn’t found a good barber since living in Oakland but, walked into this place and the owner cut my hair, right away I knew I had found my new barber. It is small but, décor is awesome, and you are offered beer, which really gives you the feel of an old school barber shop.
Every time I’ve been there, both, employees and customers are engaged in barber-​shop-​conversation which to me, is kind of important as I find it awfully awkward just sitting in a chair staring at yourself with no kind of rapport between oneself and the other person. Also, military-​friendly»

Terrible Experience! I came here because my barber, Luis, who works at another shop now, couldn’t see me but I needed a cut fast for an event. When I came back I told Mike that Luis couldn’t see me and when I asked if he could fit me in he goes off on me for coming to him because I couldn’t see Luis. I then left and said I can go somewhere else. To this, Mike replied «I don’t give a f**k» and I said as I left «goodbye». Mike then storms out of the store and berated me saying «What did you say? What did you say?» as I was leaving. I remembered why I was so excited to see Luis at his new shop because Mike makes clients uncomfortable.
EDIT: after the harassment I recieved online from Mike I’m downgrading my review to one star.

Great atmosphere, great crew, great haircuts!
Growing up in Seal Beach, it’s great to see the classic barbershop continue its legacy, while being updated & improved in the process. You’ll love this place!

Excellent cut! Friendly staff and cool atmosphere. Straight razor for the back of the neck and courteous staff that wanted to get the cut perfect! I’ll go back the next time I am in town!

You get what you pay for, $ 20.00 and a quality cut by good people. I found my new local place for haircuts.

Amanda is kind and hospitable. She said she is relatively new to this shop but not new to cutting hair cause she gave me a great cut even though I was admittedly pretty vague about what I wanted. She also hooked it up with a redbull cause it was like 9am and I wasn’t feeling a beer just yet. Are free drinks the norm at barber shops? I don’t think so but from reading other reviews it may be the norm here. Nothing but good things to say about this place for my first experience. Love the ambiance, service and attention to detail.

Stopped by for a quick cut and couldn’t have asked for anything better. Mike was super nice and cut my hair exactly how I wanted it. They have beer on tap and I’m definitely gonna have one next time I come in!

Great haircut! A lady did mine – her name is currently slipping my mind. It was her first day when I got my cut. She did a very nice, clean cut. My cut was $ 20 – worth every penny. I would go back here.

Best haircut I’ve ever received! I have not idea what Anthony and Roc are talking about. And why would you complain about a good haircut at a barber shop and give a one star on top of that? That’s not very fair now is it? From the time I stepped foot into the shop, I was treated with the utmost respect and courtesy! The owner showed great professionalism and attention to detail. He gave me invaluable information in how to take care of my beard and how to manage my thick mop hair. Thanks so much! Wish I could bring you to Seattle with me! People, if you want a great haircut, Main Street Barber in Seal Beach, CA is the place to go! Don’t let these idiotic one-​star reviews sway your decision. If a place has five stars, that’s the caliber of service you’re going to receive. You can’t make everyone happy, I guess.

Came here with my girlfriend today, didn’t really know what to expect but from the look of the people coming out of the shop you could tell they knew what they were doing. Mike cut my hair and he’s been a barber for many years so his technique really shows, my girlfriend said I looked like a new man and I had to agree the hair cut was super fresh. Picked up some pomade and grooming spray for reshaping because my hair grows REALLY fast.
If you’re looking for a great haircut in the Seal Beach area this place is practically a must for you. Affordable prices, accepts walk-​ins, not a long wait time and a legit haircut puts this place at 5 out of 5 stars.
On a side note this place has quite a bit of history and heritage and inside and out you can really tell that it’s an authentic old school barbershop with genuine style and décor.

Agree with all the other 5 star reviews!
went there for the first time and Mike does a great job and is pretty entertaining… makes the haircut a lot more enjoyable.
if its busy, grab a magazine and just hang out. i’m looking forward to trying out a shave
