I just got back from my first haircut at Mentor’s and created my Unilocal account to write my first review.
Monday afternoon so the service was quick, and neat but pricey at 18 for a buzzer haircut on my 52 year old head and 5 more got the goatee trim. 23 total for what cost me 13 in Buena Park a few weeks ago.

(Insert profane word here)!!! I am extremely disappointed! I have been growing my beard for months and was needing a trim. I called this place to ask if they do beard trims and the guy said sure walk in. I’m there and I tell the dude to trim it because I’m trying to grow it but it’s needing a trim. Where the hell does that mean shave my (profane word) face? I ended up asking the guy if he spoke Spanish to see if I can maybe understand his rationale and he said he did so then we talked and he said he thought I said get rid of it. He didn’t charge me but I still paid him, I’m in disbelief and utter disappointment here. SMH

Steve Blaine Strong — the owner of Mentor — recently passed away, leaving behind a loving wife, children, and family. He was born in Louisville, Kentucky, and was truly a good, amiable barber who knew his craft and how to give a great, old-​fashioned haircut. We stumbled upon Mentor when our family first moved here four years ago, and my husband and three sons always loved getting their hair cut with Steve. He will be truly missed by us.
I encourage his customers to leave your remembrances on the
page in his name, so that his family and friends can know how he was much admired in the community.
I believe that his assistant Reuben, who wears the baseball cap, just reopened the shop.

I’m bald so I could basically get a haircut anywhere and it shouldn’t be a problem. But Steve (the owner) is cool person and I been coming here for a few years. It’s quick 17 bucks for regular cuts and he even massages your head for 5 buck. Why not lol. I thought that was pretty cool. Beside that I don’t know how he is on regular hair cuts but If your bald and you need your 3 millimeter hair buzzed off, he is quick and cheap.

This seemed like a great place. All old fashioned and basic. And the barber was nice. I asked him to use a scissors because my hair frizzed. But he used an electric razor.
Guess I got the cheap cut.

Steve is THE MAN!
I recently moved and had to find a new barber closer to where I live and I think I’ve found it! Steve has been cutting hair for longer than I’ve been alive and it shows. His attention to details and ability to work off very little is astounding. I showed him a picture and give him a brief description of what I wanted and it was executed to perfection.
Not only that, but Steve is a really interesting cat. Get him talking and you’ll learn a lot about him, as well as some cool facts about the shop. He also seems to be a bit of a local celebrity because every person that walked by the door of his shop said hello.
This place is a full service barber, so whatever you want, they’ve got it. Eucalyptus scalp rub, beard trimming, shampoo, shave etc. I just stuck with the haircut and it was perfect.
Last thing, the price is right. If you’re looking for quality and service at a price that is extremely reasonable, this is your place.
CASH ONLY!

One quick change to my review. I just went in for a shave and a haircut. Haircut was awesome as always but the shave was absolutely useless — electric razor only, still a good amount of stubble left behind… And an extra 16 dollars. Phew.
Keep going here for haircuts. Don’t get a shave.

I was very impressed with this barber shop. Steve really took his time and was thorough. He is very precise. After most haircuts, I usually find a few imperfections. This was not the case here. Perfect.
I will definitely be back.
FYI You do not have to pay to park in the lot north of the shop. I found this out after I paid.

I was out Christmas shopping and needed a haircut. Looked up barber shops and this one came up on Unilocal.Found it easy enough, there wasn’t any street parking, but the parking lot just north if the shop offers free parking to patrons. Steve was a very nice guy, and gave me a quick cut. I plan on going back and trying out the scalp massage and hot shave.

Friendly staff, very convenient hours, but I was there a couple weeks ago and got a very unsatisfactory haircut. Was charged a dollar over the posted minimum when I hadn’t asked for anything extra (no shaving, shampoo, or other specials).

I took my 15 year old son here for a hair cut, and we were pleasantly surprised. The genltman asked my son exactly how he wanted his hair cut and the end result was great. The two of them talked sports the entire time, and my son and I left very happy. $ 16 well spent.

Steve gave me a great haircut. I’ll be back and am tempted to try the eucalyptus scalp rub next time.

The Old man running the shop was terrible. I had shaved my head before and so, I just wanted him to even it out. Well… He still charged me the full price. I forgot to bring cash and so I only had 10 bucks on my wallet. He made me leave my Driver’s license while I went and got the extra 4 bucks! What a cheap C*nt
