Headlines Barber Shop

Okay, new to la Habra and was looking to find a new place. I came in sat down and waited. Someone said hello to me and then 40 minutes later as I waited for my turn. I was next then, the barber finished and left. So I waited still, then other barber went in back, 2 others still working.
I got up and left.
Busy, too busy I guess for me.
Sorry, not a great first impression. Won’t try it again, they had my one chance.

Oh no… this is not good…
First of all, this shop has the best barbers in North OC. I usually book a time slot with Jerry, who has a photographic memory and will execute your fade with machine like precision, every f!#$ing time. I just sit down and he does the rest.
So, this is what this shop had going for them; barbers who know their craft at competitive prices + they would give out water/​soda etc since business was good and the lines long. Well, in the past year the owner took away 2 of the 3 things.
They still have great barbers, but now the higher price ($ 17 to $ 20 before tip or reservation fee) makes me hesitant about tipping generously… I still do, but now I gotta think twice about going to this shop, whereas before it was a no brainer… I’ve been a loyal customer and am willing to withstand the long lines for great barbers, but don’t know how I feel about the overall experience and the price increase…
The extra star is for Jerry, an excellent barber.

Best Barbers in La Habra. Never been iffy about any of them. All are clean. Recently raised the prices but still worth it.

Really the best Barber Shop in the area. I’ve been across Whittier and La Habra and have kept coming back to Headlines. Truly a GOOD haircut. They even finish it off with a straight edge razor. You leave feeling clean and well groomed.
The posted closing time is 7pm, BUT they take their last walk-​in at 6. Just remember to arrive before 6pm and you’ll experience a great cut/​shave that is well worth the $$!!

These guys do a great job, are always welcoming and they understand beard culture. I trust their insights when talking about grooming and enjoy chatting with them both in and out of the chair. They have a great barbershop atmosphere and really pay attention to details. Great for men and boys, I always come here when I don’t want to do my own trim. I use them if I have a special occasion coming up or if I want to treat myself.

I got a haircut by Jerry and honestly believe he’s the best barber I have been too. I have gone to about 10 different barbers in Southern California and the Boston area (where I go to school) and he is truly a professional when it comes to hair. He was telling a customer about his thought process when it comes to cutting hair and how he envisions what type of haircut the customer wants in his head before he continues as well as how you must consider for how everybody’s head and scalp are different so you must consider how they would affect the haircut. The one thing I appreciated about Jerry was when he said «you have to be honest with the customer.» That’s what a professional is about. Will definitely be coming back when I’m back home.

So it was my first time at Headlines and I will say I will be back. I was a walk in so I did wait about a hour to get into the chair but once I got in there it was great. Cindy asked me lots of questions about what I wanted and was extremely accurate during the process. I also got a Stright Razor shave Cindy was awesome at tbat as well messaged my face with th e hot towel and made me feel really relaxed a hour later I done and very happy.
like I said I will be back Again.
THANKS CINDY

Best shop I’ve been to in Orange County. Jeri hooked it up! Clean, fast, best customer service! And awesome conversation…‼ definitely found my new babrber

Brought both of my sons to get their hair cuts, Cindy did an excellent job, she was very professional and attentive to what they wanted. My sons love their hair cuts we will definitely be returning.

Awesome place! I have never been to a more consistent barber shop than headlines, I’m always walking out loving my haircut. All of the barbers are great. Recently I got my cut by Cindy, she was very nice and did an awesome job. She even threw in a few recommendations that I liked. Great customer service great vibes.

First time customer, took my son to have his haircut my son has an afro. So I have a really hard time finding someone who knows how to cut his hair good. Other then some inappropriate conversations in the back ground, I really liked how my sons hair turned out. The place is really good and the service was amazing…

Good place for a clean cut!
The shop itself is very clean and designed well. The wait is a bit long, but it is worth it.

Where do I begin?! So I’ve been coming here for about 8 months now, ever since I moved to the area, and I love it! I honestly have been to a bunch of barber shops only to leave unhappy. The guys are great and tonight Cindy cut my hair for the first time. She was such a sweet hart and did an amazing job!
The atmosphere is really relaxed and inviting. And the haircuts are amazing! I always leave extremely happy. The only downside is the wait time. Most of the times I’ve been, they were really busy and I had to wait a while. Granted I never make appointments and just walk in. But the fact that they are always busy goes to show how great their cuts are, and honestly it is worth the wait :) Lastly, the prices are great! haha.

My Boy’s Always Complain on How irritated
The Skin Gets after a Hair Cut But Not @ This Place. My Boyfriend Got His Beard Done @ This Location and Michael Did a Fantastic Job

Great local Barber Shop! I took my cousin in for his first full Barber experience and he absolutely loved it. Both the gentleman that were working today were both extremely professional and friendly, and Jerry who did my cousins hair, hooked it up! The wait was only a few minutes and the service result was done skillfully in a short amount of time, that was a major plus! Thank you guys for being so awesome, we’ll definitely be back!!!

Found my son’s new barber shop and its close to home. The shop is very sharp looking (vintage, dark wood) and the staff are courteous, professional and very soft spoken. Nothing like Jesse’s in Whittier… They are so ghetto and unprofessional there… Looking forward to coming back :-)

Very professional staff and clean shop! I definitely recommend this place to anyone and everyone!
I’ve been cutting my own hair since I was 13… And I also live in North East LA, so the chances of me coming to this barber shop was a one in a million chance, however I’m so glad that I was able to experience their service.
As soon as I walked in, 2 barbers greeted me immediately and one of the barbers got up, introduced himself as «Mike» and shook my hand. He then offered me a drink before asking what kind of haircut I wanted. I was very vague and said to «simply clean me up and make my existing hairstyle look good». He said «ok» and went to work.
When he was done, he had outdone himself. The haircut was very precise and my hair had never looked so good. He even went the extra step of straight razoring my sides and washing my hair. Customer satisfaction was his top objective and it showed!

This spot has great barbers that will hook you up with fresh cuts and fades. I’ve been faded by Jerry twice (he did an awesome job). And today, Manny whipped me up with a sharp combover look. It was the most dapper look I had in years.
Much respect to these guys that are really passionate about their craft. Though they get busy especially on Sundays and you can be in for a long wait. Nonetheless, they made a loyal customer in me.

I needed a haircut and I would definitely recommend Headline’s Barber. It’s a small little place near a self-​service washer and dryer, so don’t miss it. I entered in and at first, I did not have the best first impression because it kind of smelled like a bathroom, but I just assumed that there was something wrong with the plumbing. But besides that, it was the only con I find about the barbershop.
I was greeted by Michael, one of the barbers, and from start to finish he was very sincere, personable, and «real». I came in around 3:45 on a Sunday, and I guess I was lucky because it’s one of the hit or miss times, so luckily I hit it.
I was asked if I wanted a complimentary soda or water. He asked me what I wanted and I told him I wanted to try the comb over, so he gave me his suggestions and opinions, which I really appreciated. I was very tired and I’m kind of an awkward person when it comes to small talk, but regardless of my vibe, Michael remained very chill and personable and still did his best to keep the conversation going.
We found a common interest in UFC, shout out to you Carla, he has much respect for you if you’re reading this haha. Anyways, I still have to get used to the haircut, I went bold to try something new. Already got compliments, but for me personally, it just takes me some time to get used to haha.
But definitely would recommend this place. It is pricey for a barbershop, but if you want to be bold and courageous and try something different, then I would recommend going here because it seems like everyone knows what they’re talking about.
$ 17 for a haircut, so probably not the best place if you’re just getting a trim but if you’re wanting something fancy or different, then I would have to say this is the place to go!

Manny and jerry are the «man!!!» I highly recommend these two only.
they are extremely professional, gentle and courteous. Ive seen then work their magic on the kids and they all like him
As for pricing a buzz is a dub. $ 17 for the buzx and $ 3 tip is fair (15%). Ive seen folks drop $ 8 tip and a $ 23 for the impecable service and quality.
They offer other services too like straight razor shave and some things for nappy head hair i have no clue about.
Parking lot sucks but theres plenty street parking.
