Floyd’s 99 Barbershop

I came back here again almost a year and a half later after coming here the first time. I was in need of a quick haircut and I saw they were open late. My second take on the place is that I think they look really hip, but the haircuts are fairly mediocre. I’ll say that with a caveat — because obviously it depends on who cuts your hair here and what type of cut you want. My haircut was very simple, and it’s okay, but I don’t love it or hate it. Nonetheless, I usually don’t like my hair until it grows out a bit — and then it is perfect a week or two later. I have a wedding to go to soon, so I’m hoping my hair will grow a little quicker. If I love my hair in two weeks, I’ll be back with an update! ;-)

Clean, fun atmosphere, but way over priced. Brought my daughters here (ages 13 and 10) for a trim– not even a complete hair cut, just a trim. They tried to charge me $ 35 each! I refused to pay that, so the manager finally let me pay the child price for them which was $ 17 each. When we got home, I realized their hair was not evenly cut and looked like a complete hack job. Never going back again.

I brought my 5 year olds here & I have to say I was pretty impressed. Everyone was really professional very friendly as well. They had one male barber & one female. I noticed the female barber (I don’t know their names) was a little more friendly and playful but they both tried to make my boys feel comfortable. Can’t wait to come back!

I almost think this review is useless. If you take one look at the environment, the stylists and the hair styles that come out of here it speaks for itself. I had been long overdue for a cut and color. I wanted something different and much lighter in color than what I had naturally. I saw Allison S. and she totally duplicated what I wanted! The cut is PERFECT and so is the color. My bangs looked a little funny at first, but I knew that was only because I blow dry them differently. Once I got to wash my hair, dry and style it, I loved the way she cut my bangs! This takes 1^st place on my top favorite cuts and colors I have ever had.

Monica P is great. She has a good attention to detail. Since I get my head shaved with a 1 attention to detail is really all I get from a haircut .
The barbershop itself is a modern take on the classic barber. Music playlist is cool. Of course it’s a couple bucks more than a classic barber not as much as a salon.
Been going here for about six months. I’m going to stick with Floyd’s and Monica.

My first visit and I wanted a new look for my new life. Had no idea what I wanted. Shawn was amazing and friendly. He suggested a wide variety of styles that would look good and did an amazing job.
Extremely happy with my new hair style and will definitely be coming back. Shawn is a great asset to this establishment and from what I can see, everyone working there is very friendly and it shows by the amount of customers there.

Wow, what is it with Floyds? Have no luck with these guys. Had the exact same experience at the Irvine location. I am sitting here at the Tustin location typing this out. 35 mts and counting for a 5 30 appointment. Last time visiting any Floyds location. Never again.
EDIT: waited 45 mts in the end, then thought to myself, why would I give these guys my money? Then, bailed. Absolutely never again.

I love the hours of this barbershop. And I love the fact that the wait is usually always under 30 sometimes 45 minutes.
I can definitely do without the overpriced and I hate to say this but bougie hairstylist that work here.
Overall I do go hear from time to time as a try that my phone will get a decent haircut, not an amazing haircut, but definitely better than the Asian ladies.

Been months since my previous haircut. Been letting it grow out to get a fresh start.
I called last minute and they had no problem fitting me in. Keely was my stylist, and she was great. I just told her simply it’s too long, and needed it all cleaned up. She did her thing and made it look better than it should have :-) along with scalp massage, neck shave and massage, service is phenomenal. Definitely a new client.

I was a scared to leave my hairdresser of 20+ years but it became hard to make appointments and just seemed sameo-​sameo. My wife took the kids to Floyd’s an they looked great!
I gave it a try and really enjoyed the complete service that I have never received from the old place. New hair style, new appreciation for hair cuts, new place to continue going.
Thank you Matt! see you in a month or so.

Amie rocks! I went in before I had to fly out of town and she hooked me up with a great fade and a shave. I highly recommend her.

Hands down to Matt! My son always gets the best haircut. Matt takes his time and make sure its done right. He’s a perfectionist and we love coming to him :)

If you are looking for an affordable barbershop with a hip vibe and stylists who know what’s up, this is the place for you!
Floyd’s 99 Barbershop is located in a small strip mall in Tustin and shares space with a vinyl record store. The shop is unique in that each chair has its own sink so you don’t have to get up and move back and forth, you just get to sit in one place and relax. They have a full offering of hair products and you don’t have to make an appointment, they take walk ins!
My son, Trevor, has his hair expertly cared for by Taylor Hairnandez and we know that every time we leave his hair is gonna be looking gucci. (Ok, I dunno, but that’s the vernacular that my son uses and I’m gonna go with it.)

First off, I have to say 5 stars for Quality Service. The staff was extremely friendly, courteous, and helpful. I cannot say anything bad about them whatsoever. On the other hand, my haircut was just plain bad. I have to give my haircut 1 star.
In order to make my «natural part» more predominant… the girl (I forget her name) cut all of the hair around my «natural part» extremely short. Which, made the rest of my hair adjacent to it stand up completely out of place.
It was one of the worst haircuts I’ve ever had. I went home, and my wife just looked at me. She said: «What happened?» That was enough. I went back on Wednesday because I clearly remember the original girl who cut my hair said that day, was her day off.
I explained to the manager (whom was extremely helpful) and they offered to «fix» my haircut at no additional charge. I was happy. Even the new stylist could’t believe what the previous girl had done. She did her best… but her abilities too, was mediocre.
Unfortunately I cannot recommend them in good conscience to anyone else for a haircut. Maybe I was just unlucky… but at the end of the day… Floyd’s Babershop seems to consistently have bad reviews at most of their locations.

I needed a haircut and this was the only time I had during the next week to get one. Most shops are closed by the time I get off of work. Floyd’s is open until 9, so I decided to give it a try.
When I pulled up, I was worried. This place tries TOO hard. There is a vinyl store connected to the barbershop, band poster décor on the walls inside the shop, and wood floors. Definitely a rocker/​bro type of vibe going on there. This should have been my first warning to drive away and wait until I had more time. Personally, not my taste. The things I want in a barbershop: clean, affordable, and staffed with barbers who listen and know what they’re doing.
I walked to the front desk and they asked for my full name and phone number. I reluctantly gave them my full name, but I gave a fake number. I don’t need anyone calling me asking me when I want to come in for my next haircut. When I’m ready, I’ll do it myself. Besides, I had a feeling this would be my first and last time here based on the vibe alone. Anyway, they weren’t busy and I am immediately set up with Matt. I tell him what I want and he gets to work.
I asked for a low fade on the sides/​back and to leave the top alone. He went a little higher than I would have liked, even after showing him with my hands where I wanted the fade. Oh well, it still looked ok. He finished off with the razor shave on the neck. Done. Now, I did ask for him to leave the top alone, but during the course of the haircut it became a bit disheveled. He didn’t bother combing it back into place. I had to ask for a comb to get things looking decent again. It bothered me that he was going to let me walk out with hair flying around all over the place. Whatever, DIY.
The best part of this experience was walking up to the cashier to have her give me the total — $ 24. $ 24 for what? Ten minutes in a chair with a guy who breezed through to get me in and out? I have no problem paying $ 24 for a haircut. I have in the past and it was worth the money. This was not. It was the equivalent of going to Supercuts. I hate Supercuts.
So I paid, tipped the guy, and left. As soon as I got in the car, I go over the hair like a lawyer goes over the fine print in a contract. As I stated earlier, he went a little higher on the fade than I would have liked, and the shape around the ears was bad. For $ 24, that better be perfect. Back was meh.
So…what do I think of Floyd’s? OVERPRICED. You’re paying for the rocker ambiance, the wood floors, and all that merchandise they print that no one buys. In my opinion, a barbershop should focus on one thing — cutting hair and doing it at a decent price. Not an image, not selling vinyl (overpriced anyway), not clothing. If you’re going to charge that amount, make it worthwhile to the customer by doing a great job.
There are better barbershops in the area. Do your research and give them a try.

So I went to Floyd’s last week for a haircut. Got right in, cool vibe, people seemed to be very nice, etc… the problem was my haircut wasn’t great. Still isn’t great. The chick that cut my hair was Keely, and she not only forgot to trim/​cut my sideburns and over my ear (I had to remind her), she also put my part in the wrong place AND made it uneven. YAAAYYY :-/​
Until it grows out, I’ve got a part that looks like the San Andreas Fault and a bunch of stray long hairs that don’t know WHICH side they’re on.
I had previously been going to a 60 year old Vietnamese woman for my $ 8.00 cuts and was ALWAYS happy with my cuts. I guess I made the mistake of being fooled by the bells and whistles, as well as Floyd’s in Tustin being much closer to me than Garden Grove.
Anyway, this was my experience. I guess it’s like getting a Nirvana shirt at Hot Topic… LOL
I gave 2 stars because my hair DID get cut and I didn’t die.

I used to take my kids to hair salons specifically for kids but, after one hair debacle too many, I never went back. I had a hard time finding a good hairstylist that would actually work with my 3 year old, until I found Floyd’s 99.
I’ve been taking my two boys here since they opened. Kelly is amazing! She’s not only a great stylist but also works really well with kids. The 3 year old had long hair that he wanted short — «like big brother» — and I was nervous about the process and how long it would take… because, you know, 3 year olds. However, Kelly handled the cut with no problem. My kid actually sat in the seat for 30 minutes while Kelly expertly cut and styled his hair. She has worked with my kids a number of times now and we always leave very happy.
We also love the ambiance. The people are friendly, the décor is fun, and the music is great. The products are also good quality and my kids like using their special styling cream every morning. They’re almost as high-​maintenance as me now. Almost.
No more kiddie hair salons for us! I only trust Kelly with my kids hair from now on.

W T F: (Asked for a dark brown coloring, and a high and tight — got BLACK dye (on my hair AND my forehead) and a boot camp special haircut. After I paid, I saw the stylist leave with a friend which suggests to me she was probably distracted/didn’t give a damn during my haircut and was thinking about going home.
When I got home, I had to bust out the clippers and fade the haircut myself. Luckily I half-​way know what I’m doing and it looks passable now, but there’s still dye all over me.
Paid $ 55 to look like crap today… would NOT recommend this place.

#100reviews2015 — review no. 1
5 stars all the way!
My hair’s growing backing after its departure from my scalp due to chemo a few months back, and while I’ve decided to keep it short, it desperately needed some shaping.
My roommate had gotten hers don recently through Floyd’s, so I knew the very-​close-​by barber shop was open to women’s hairstyles and I decided to give them a shot.
I’m really glad I did! I was assisted by Katy, who shaped and trimmed my hair to suit my face, and recommended both styling tips and a decent styling product to keep my hair looking adorable! I have never been a short hair kinda gal, but she really made it work for me, and I was thrilled with the results.
A cut, style, and shoulder massage (yep, a quick, very relaxing shoulder massage!) ran me $ 24 plus tip. Not bad at all, and the shop itself has a charming, welcoming vibe and a super knowledgeable and likeable staff.
Highly recommend!

Floyd’s is a place that is dying to be cool. There are rock images all over the wall, there is a vinyl record store connected to the shop, and they offer old school shaves, if you want. They also offer more standard basic salon services, like a Supercuts that you would actually want to go to.
For me, I am easy, 000 shave for the head, #2 and clean up for the beard. with more time (45 minutes plus wait), I might have opted for the straight razor save with hot towel and neck massage. It is probably worth it, especially if you make an appointment to skip the wait, but I didn’t have the time.
As it is, I got my dome cleaned up, I didn’t make a mess with clippers at home, I didn’t leave a strip of unsaved hair somewhere on the back of my head, and I was in and out pretty quick. When I let the hairs on my dome get too long that I can’t shave them quickly, I will be back for an easy trim.
