Howell Avenue Barber

Jul 2025

I have been getting my hair cut by Cindy for about 40 years or whenever they opened. Cindy and her Husband Jim(retired) have been and are great barbers. I am an old gezzer now and have hair growing everywhere above my shoulders. Cindy trims every thing turning this sow's ear into a silk purse. She takes her time and graciously listens to my jokes, even the off color ones. She tells some great jokes too, once she gets to know you.

The Best barbershop in O. C. This is the place to go for a high quality haircut. This is not a high speed clipper job performed by a preoccupied, text obsessed 19 year old. The service at Howell Avenue Barbers is outstanding. Cindy delivers an excellent hand crafted hair cut with attention to every detail and plenty of TLC. Great customer service is alive and well at an good old fashioned barbershop.

These folks are the best. First tried them on the basis of other good online reviews. Try them; your image will thank you. They give your hair the time it needs to get a good look. Think a good local restaurant where the food is made to order from good-quality ingredients by experienced and caring chefs. Conveniently located on Howell Ave. near Woodman's. Get your hair cut and get dinner fixins, ya! I've paid less at discount chain barbers, but the crappy haircuts are not worth saving a few $. And the chains don't accept appointments either. They have to rush to meet the schedule imposed by the chain owner. Think fast food made in corporate factories by distracted teens.
