Mac’s Barber Shop

Really good place to go to. Decent price and good quality haircuts. $ 16 for a hair cut, not bad especially for the amount of time he puts in (1 hour).Only one barber that cuts here, Mac. He’s a great barber and is the type of barber to strike a good conversation with. Appointments only!

Hi this is Mac, thank you to all who have read the sign posted from, January 1, 2015 to January 5 2016 that Mac’s barbershop will be on appointment only basses

First time I came here I was a walk-​in. ( Unilocal says appointments not needed.) no issues, the haircut was great, price was great too. I’ve been here several times since, with and without appointments. Today I came back as a walk in, since I’m never able to get a hold of the guy on the phone, and was told he doesn’t do walk-​ins. So, cool. I’ve been driving 20 miles to come out here, but I guess I’ll look for someplace new.

Straight up best barber in the area. Always asks what type of cut as not all occasions are the same. Great value and the appointment system more than makes up for the drive across town. $ 50.00 cut for $ 20.00 including tip.

Wow. Kicked out for daring to ask for same hair cut he gave on first apt. Finding a different barber

Mac is a good dude. Had a good conversation with him throughout my whole haircut. He made sure he knew what I wanted in my side comb over with the part on the side. Only charges $ 15 bucks which is great compared to other barbers that charge $ 20-​$ 25. The shop has a real old school 50’s feel. I’d come back here again.

Awesome neighborhood barber! My wife thinks this is the best cut I’ve gotten in the 8 years we’ve been together

Gregg is quite meticulous and takes his time, and the results speak for themselves. A great cut at a fair price.

For Christmas I put about $ 30 in a pocket to leave a large tip when Greg was done cutting my hair. I accidentally handed him money from the wrong pocket which contained around $ 200 dollars. I handed it to him as usual, he did not count it in front of me as usual. I declined change as usual. He came running out to my car and said I gave him way way too much… the haircut was great but the Barber was greater. Fifteen years now… god bless Greggy Mac

Highly recommend.
I drive a little extra distance but it is well worth it. Prices are reasonable and the shop is clean. Gregg is very well respectful and appreciates his clients. Have not had a bad cut in over 8 visits.

I’m an infrequent Unilocaler and as much as I would like my review of Mac’s to be positive, it is far from it.
I was raised to show everyone equal respect. And to especially be respectful upon meeting strangers.
To sum it up, my experience was pretty bad. Mac is much more concerned with his precious floor than with welcoming new customers. Floors get walked on and will inevitably take on wear and tear. It’s a floor after all. Mac almost kicked me out because he thought I would scratch his floor with my cycling shoes. I told him at the time that I had put on covers that prevent slipping and scratching. He would not listen to reason. I got my haircut and left.
I went back about 5 weeks later to give it another shot. The first thing out of Mac’s mouth was, «you scratched my floor the last time you were here.»
Do I really need to argue here? Such incessant and ill placed vanity. Like I said, the covers on the bottoms of my cycling shoes are made of rubber and protect from slipping and scratching. This is simply an example of stubbornness and prejudice against what one doesn’t understand.
Grow up.
The only reason I gave 2 instead of 1 star is because my haircut was actually decent.
It’s a shame I’ll never return because of something so stupid as a floor.

Gregg is Gregg and his work is worth the wait.
Remember he has a dry sense of humor so don’t get offended
I have been coming in here for over 15 years now
It’s a no BS barber shop not a Solon

Have been going here for about the last 4 months. Great haircuts are what it’s all about. The casual atmosphere is much appreciated.

Great place for a cut.
Was in signal hill after dropping wife at a local salon. Decided to look for a local barber and found Mac’s.
Location — Not only was the location clean and a throwback of barbershops collectables.
The cut — Mac was great. Both quick and efficient. And you cannot beat the price at $ 10.

Great little barber shop. Nothing fancy… the kind of barber shop my dad took me to as a kid. Very professional barber who takes his time to deliver a great hair cut. Very well priced. Shop’s low volume music pays subtle homage to 80’s ska.

Hey PJ this is a barbershop not a beauty salon. Mac’s a barber not a hair stylist. Stick with Brenda bro.

I usually go to Brenda’s, which is about a half mile away. I thought I’d give this place a try since Brenda is on vacation this week, and I live just down the street. I have long hair with side burns. I wanted to get my sideburns trimmed and a shave. I was told he only does regular short haircuts. I asked if he could touch up my sideburns but he repeated once again that he only does regular short hair cuts. So if you’re looking for a regular short haircut, this may be the place to go. But if your hair is longer, and you want to touch up your sideburns and get a shave, then the other shop I mentioned above is a good alternative.
*update– hey Ryan, thanks for the tip. Didn’t realize that getting sideburns trimmed was too difficult for a barber shop. I’ll keep going to Brenda’s.

Mac’s Barber Shop is the best place in Southern California to get your hair cut. I’ve been going to Mac’s since 1999 and I drive from Buena Park… and it’s worth it!
Great things take time, and Greg takes his time with every cut. He is also a great conversationalist.
This shop has a fantastic old school atmosphere…
I recommend all my friends and family to Mac’s!

I’ve been going to Greg at Mac’s monthly for about 3 years. I like his no nonsense approach to barbering. Reminds me of the shops I went to when I was a kid. He specializes is regular men’s haircuts, of all types. If you want frou-​frou, or have long hair, go to a salon. He does’nt have a pool table, beer, do shaves, pamper you or kiss your butt like the new wave of trendy shops. Just a great hair cut, at a fair price. Good value for the money. And, pay attention to his signage. His hours (and lunch hour) are clearly posted. He takes his time and does it right. Please note that Greg’s business averages 4 star reviews. Just a few haters. Hey, haters gotta hate!
Drop in, grab a mag, cold soda, wait your turn and get a great hair cut!

Will never be back. Tried this place once and wasnt too happy. Gave him another shot and that was it. Dude was rude and said he wouldnt cut my hair because i had product in it. I had a very light gel and a light water splash takes care of it. Regardless, i had other co-​workers complain about his inability to return messages for appointments. He has no character and just isn’t someone i’d enjoy seeing on a regular basis. The Barber shop is pretty sterile but great if you love that 50’s greaser scene. Too many good Barber shops in Long Beach to stick with this one man band.
Move on…
