Old World Barber Shop

This place has gotten so busy (3 – 4 people waiting at a time) that I have to wait 30 – 60 minutes every visit. They only normally have 2 barbers and for me just getting a buzz cut its not worth it. Drive to el toro

Decided to take my 4-​year old to a barber shop because our last experience at a themed kids cut place wasn’t very pleasant. Decided to visit Old World Barbershop because of the positive feedback here on Unilocal.Upon entry, the shop looked great with a very modern and rustic feel. There were two barbers working and we ended up with Mo, who is the Head Barber. He did a great job with making Lucas feel comfortable, which is critical! Mo was very patient with Lucas throughout the cut working with the utmost care and precision. The end result was better than I could have even imagined and we’ll definitely be returning! Thanks Mo!

Great place for a quick cut. Barber was really good with sides and fades! However, after showering the hair on top was very uneven, some really long and some really short which made for an overall subpar cut. I have tough hair to cut to begin with but more attention to detail would have been nice.

I’ve been coming to Old World for about 6 months. I’ve only got my haircut by Alex and he’s always very consistent with his cuts. All the barbers really know what they’re doing and are extremely professional.

Probably the best place to get a haircut. The guys here certainly know what their doing. l’ve never had to wait more than 10 – 15 mins to get my haircut. I recommend this place to everyone and anyone thats looking for an above average haircut.

Found this place on Unilocal and I am very happy that I went here! Previously I would get my fades done all the way in Costa Mesa because I would never seem to find good barbershops here in mission viejo! They’re right down the street from me and are fairly fast and aren’t too busy! $ 20 bucks got me a fade and line up! And I will be coming back again! Very friendly and a nice clean shop!

This place is great, there is a definite need for affordable and stylish haircuts in the area. I was born and raised in the area so the dreaded days of going to a supercuts type place for a haircut are long gone. The staff and owner are easy to get along with and they take pride in their work.

Went today got a cut by Alex. Did an awesome job I showed him a pic of how my hair is normally cut (from out of town) and he did it exactly very pleased was quick in and out. Place was very clean and guys all friendly highly recommend will be coming back

Old World more like out of this world!
I came in here all pissed left with a smile from ear to ear! Mo was able to do the impossible! I left a barbershop in lake forest and drove my ass to mission after getting one of the worst haircuts of my life! Look no further this is the spot to get a cut! Thank you Mo!

SO FREAKIN STOKED!!!
I have been here 2x now. First for a beard trim by Alex. He did a great job and payed close attention to making it even!
I just went back today and got my haircut by Mo. Holy crap! I’ve never been more pumped on a haircut! He totally transformed my hair and I left feeling confident. I’ve been getting compliments all day… I’ll be back.

Good clean shop! I don’t really care how much it cost… I just want a good hair cut and these guys not only do a great Job but they are also very affordable!!! The first time I went I made an appointment for me and my 8 year old son. They had us ready to go in no time. The second time I walked in and there was a few people before me but before I knew it, I had a good fresh cut and beard trim. ITS an Honest good clean shop.

I was looking to try a new place and based on the other reviews, Old World seemed like a sure thing. I asked for a «Combo» (Shave and Hair Cut). The price was great, but the haircut was mediocre and the shave was terrible. It took way too long and I had to go home and finish the shave myself. For what it is worth, I don’t think the owner «Mo» was there at the time so if I did ever go back I would make sure to ask for him.

Took my two boys last month and they and I finally agree on a barber. With my son’s semi-​long hair, many past barbers felt the need to cut too much off the side bangs to make him look more like a preppy clone. But theses guys listened for a nice change. My son’s cut is the look he wants, and it has lasted a whole month which makes mom happy too. Coming back today.

In my search for a real barber close to our new home I found this place. The struggle between good and evil continues into this review. The good in me wants to give these 5 stars and tell everyone how awesome these guys are. A great, down to earth barber shop with skilled dudes clipping.
The evil wants to skip the review and not tell anyone about this gem so I can keep it all to myself.
Luckily I’m mostly good. :-)
Looks like I found my new spot!

this place is fucking amazing !
shouout @therealbarberal aka alex for the great cut!

First visit:
Had a decent cut… a little patchy on the fade but I’ve had worse.
The razor work on the neck irritated my skin, so be aware of that.
Second visit:
Service is lacking. Called ahead to check wait time. Was told no wait and I will be seated right away. I Gave the employee a 10 – 15 minute window that I anticipated to arrive. Upon arrival, it was a 30 minute wait.
I cannot tolerate this incompetence. The proper dialogue should have been:
«It’s not busy now, but we can place you on the list. We strongly encourage you to get here quickly so you don’t have to wait»
Don’t over promise and under deliver.
Sadly, the owner was there and he did nothing to stop myself or another person from walking out.
To the owner:
You need to speak up here and communicate better with customers. Hire a seasoned GM. It will help your business tremendously.
Good luck I hope it turns around. I will revisit in a month or two to see if improvements have been made.

Hands down best barber shop in town. Been coming here for months and walk out every time extremely happy with the outcome. Very clean and they get you in and out in no time. Stoked I found this place

I’m active duty military and I have to move around every 2 – 3 years… on top of that I’m always in need of a good haircut. I’ve had at least 45plus haircuts a year and over a dozen barbers. Alex is now my latest and has done a PHENOMENAL job during every visit. His talent is very noticeable and the environment at this shop is very welcoming and feels like home. I highly encourage you to stop by and I doubt you will want to find another. I got lucky finding this place.

I had my second haircut at Old world Barber shop today. I left there very satsified, Alex the cool dude that cut my hair did a great job. The owners very nice also, there was a nice mix of ages there getting there dews done. They do the cool and happening cuts and the old guy cuts equally as well! LOL
So if your looking for a good cut check Old world Barber shop out. Happy to have them in my neighborhood!

This place is awesome! They take time and care to make sure your hair is 100% sharpe and on point. My personally go to Alex, and have been going to him for almost a year now back when he worked at a different location, and I come to him here. Super friendly dude, cares for his clients, and makes sure they’re taken care of. Free line up after a week which is worth it to keep the neck and sides trimmed nice and perfect, and if you’re a student it’s $ 20 instead of $ 25. 5 star for this place and always my first recommendation to others.
