Leisure World Barbers & Beauticians

First off all fuck this place. It sucks. Not worth your time or money. It’s customer over worker, and the boss didn’t seem to care what my hair, nas was supposed to do a touch up on my red hair because my natural roots were coming out, she did nothing walked in and out the same. And I kept asking her questions and she would just say «I Don’t know «word of advice hire people who speak English. 30 $ down the drain, when I could’ve gotten a 7 $ hair dye at any store. The funny part is they asked me to come back. You got to be out of your mind. I hope you guys loose customers, because this place sucks!

We just moved here a month ago and my husband went here for a hair cut. He asked for a trim, not too short. He came home with such a lousy hair cut! The barber not only shaved all around but left a strain behind the ear! And his head shows a ring around the ears! As for a 74 yrs old man, my husband has never had such a bad hair cut! All men out there, Please don’t go there for hair cut!

Price is cheaper for a haircut here. But if you get a bad haircut here expect to be hounded at the door the next time you go here by that person that gave you the bad haircut. «Do you want your hair cut?» I ran past and asked for Joe who is the owner. Luckily he was free. He gave me a decent haircut. Not the detail of a salon but decent enough. I wish barbers elsewhere are raising their rates to supercuts prices $ 16.

I discovered this shop tucked away back in the corner of a small shopping center in Laguna Hills. It’s amazing what $ 20.00 get me here. I like my head and face at zero length (with the exception of my goatee and that’s what I get. My «Goat» is well trimmed and after everything is cut and trimmed I get a hot towel rub as well as a great smelling aftershave with a scent that takes me back to when my grandpa used to live above a barber shop in Illinois.
What an awesome experience that I treat myself to regularly now.

Joe is the best Barber!!!
Great price for a simple classic haircut and good conversation without wasting my time. I’m not sure he ever leaves as he’s cut my hair at 6 am (by appointment) and 7 at night. Why pay more at some bubblegum stylist shop? I rather give Joe a bigger tip for the great service!

READ !!! READ !!! DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE!!! I have not a fucking clue how any of these people have licenses. I worked with a guy by the name of Joe, and have no fucking clue how they gave this guy a pair of scissors… let alone can’t imagine he has a certificate. YOU MUST BE A SPECIAL KIND OF STUPID, IF YOU GO HEAR AFTER READING THE REVIEWS.
This place has no clue, what the hell they are doing.
I gave simple, simple instructions… with in 5 seconds of these instructions, the guys already messing everything up. I said go with a #4, he’s already buzzing my head. Literally stopped this guy more than 3 times, and he was still fucking it up. You pay for what you get, and you certainly do get a $ 10 haircut. I had to correct more than 4 items with my hair, and after considered shaving off all of my hair. Who ever owns this salon, or what ever kind of thrifty shop it is, better get it together. These reviews are accurate, and can not be taken down by Unilocal.
I wouldn’t even bring a mouse to this place to get a hair cut…
I saw mostly elderly people at this place, as they probably can’t tell how bad they’re hair is being messed with. I feel horrible for these people.
The owner probably could give 2 shits about this reviews. DO NOT GO HERE! GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. GO BUY SOME ALCOHOL OR DRUGS… YOU MIGHT AS WELL! BETTER THAN GOING TO THIS SHIT HOLE!

I would not recommend the barber that I got!!! He is the second or third chair on the right with a very high pitched voice for a man. I walked in, needed a shave badly (had not shaved in 2 weeks due to a broken arm) and a haircut. Explained I wanted a short business mans cut. He turns his chair so that I couldn’t see in the mirror. I got long at the top and very short on the sides. My shave was started with an electric clipper (which was very dull catching my skin in the blades) which totally ripped up my neck and finished off with a 10 cent disposable razor. I went home, my wife looked at me and asked me what happened. I took a shower (to wet my hair) thinking it would then look fine… returned the next day, talked with the owner, showed her my red neck from the shave and my haircut and got a full refund… choose your barber wisely!

Do not do go to this place! I have gotten a better $ 5 haircut from Santa Ana. I can’t get to Santa Ana before they close on a weekday. I read the review from a guy that said $ 10 so I went. The window said $ 14 so I thought ok I need a haircut I will do it this time (I’m not cheap I just like to be careful with money as I’m a single mom) 3 ladies argued as to who will do my cut so I just sat at one chair the other two got pissed. I wear a long pixie style because it’s easy in the mornings. After the «manager» cut my hair she charged me $ 20 I asked why? The window says $ 14 she said I FIXED YOUR HAIR! What??? I didn’t want to argue it’s my fault for not waiting for the weekend. I paid $ 20 plus $ 2 tip but I will never ever go back. I also have to mention that the «manager» said nobody but her could do my haircut because the ladies were old which I thought was a little insensitive but I thought maybe the language barrier. Do not go there !
Oh and it’s not a barber shop even though it’s called barber shop.

Thought it was a «Barbershop» but when I walked in it was more of a salon. No barbers, just stylist. My haircut can’t be messed up, buzz all around yet I went home, looked in the mirror and saw that I had patches. Very friendly ladies but definitely NOT a barbershop.

Barbershops are a lost art. So take advantage of time when people actually cared about hair. Now saloons are combined with spas or have a sports them with LCD TVs. If you are a guy like me, paying for 20 – 25 dollar haircut is craziness at a saloon! Here you can get a $ 10 haircut without the fancy unnecessary flowers and nails smells. Previously the price was only 8 dollars but it went up. This doesn’t bother me because I can still go here once a month and get a cool haircut instead of paying 25 bucks every 6 or more weeks.
The shop is small and can get crowded on saturdays. You can always make appointments or walking there a plenty of magazines or newpapers you can browse. The crowd is a little more mature and aged, but who goes to a barber for the atmosphere. Get a haircut not a spa membership. Just be clear about the style of your haircut and you will be fine.
I enjoy grabbing brunch at Polly’s Pie after a good haircut. I always enjoy my visits at Leisure World Barbers. It’s not for everyone but if you like a reasonable priced haircut you can’t go wrong.

My husband and I have been going to Leisure World barber for a couple of years now. Joe is the greatest! He is so friendly and he does a great job cutting my husband’s hair. Hubby has curly hair and most places just shave it short. Joe, does not and it looks great.
I go to Leann for my cut and color. She is awesome. Her prices are reasonable.
As a previous reviewer stated bring cash if you can as there is a small $ 1 fee to pay with a card.
Keep up the great work Leisure world barbers!

I have gone here a couple times to get a haircut and you can’t beat it! $ 8 haircut and you are in and out in about 15 – 20 minutes, if you don’t have to wait. Which I never have.
It is in the Leisure World area so the barbers and the clients are older, but that just adds to the ambience of the place. I get my haircut by Joe and he does a great job.
If you are looking to get a quick/​simple haircut then this is the place to go. I no longer have to go the salons that take an hour and charge $ 30+
Bring cash because they charge $ 1 for ATM cards.

Stopped by for a quick trim… left with the worst haircut I’ve had in years.
There was a good amount of traffic through the place, so maybe I just got a bad barber. He was definitely a nice guy, but did not listen to my request at all. I asked for a #3, and he decided to do a #2 instead because he thought a #3 was too long. I should have ended the transaction there, but for $ 8 I figured I would just take my life lesson and deal with it. Instead of «just even-​out the top a little bit» I guess he heard «cut it all off.»
My hair will grow back.

I love this barber shop even though I get hair color touch ups and my husband gets his hair cut here. Chrisitna does a very thorough job with my color, takes pride in her work both in applying and washing out the color.
I strongly reccomend trying this place and ask for Christina if you want color or a haircut.

This place is a classic old fashioned barber shop, not a beauty salon like Supercuts. This means that they can use a straight razor to clean up the perimeter of your hair, which makes the finished haircut look much neater.
The big band music and low key banter with the barbers make this a relaxing place to get a haircut. Plus, at a cost of $ 8, it’s hard to go wrong. I usually tip the difference between their price and the Supercuts price and always get treated like a king when I go there.

Totally going back in time here. It’s Old School with an obvious capital «O.»
FYI, I’m pushing 40 but I’m half the age of everybody else there. Unless you count my toddler son, who you can see in the photo. He actually got his first haircut here.
So the music is via satellite TV and it’s definitely Golden Oldies from the 40’s and 50’s. Men’s haircuts cost $ 8 and they take about 8 minutes. I dig the minimal commitment of time. Tell the man which number razor to use and that’s about it.
Last time I was there the guy next to me fell asleep while getting his haircut. Awesome!
There’s a woman who works there with a perma-​scowl on her face that rivals any grump I’ve ever met. Watch out for her.
There’s also great touches like the cardboard homemade sign with copy paper cutout letters spelling a really bad joke. I think it says, «I bought two thermometers, one for hot days and one for cold days.» Somebody spent time on this and obviously that same person must think it’s hysterical. It just adds to the character of the place.
I also like the photos of the barbers when they were younger that most have displayed in their area. But, it’s also sort of sad in a way.
So if you want a quick and inexpensive haircut in a place with an old-​time barbershop feel, this is it.
