William’s Barber Shop

Came back here and went to a different barber, Sergio, and this dude can cut hair. I asked for my usual 2 top 1 side fade and I got one of the cleanest cuts. Good guy to talk to, real friendly, and he knows his stuff when it comes to cutting hair. He’s a wiz with the old fashioned single blade for cleaning/​lining up. The process took awhile from I signing-​in to getting sat down but the wait was worth it.

They do good haircuts, but the wait time is ridiculous. Put my name down at 8:00am for a certain barber and did not get seen till about 10:30am. Wish they knew when that barber would come in and just be honest about his arrival time. Whats crazy is that this was not during busy hrs. Also feels like there’s some favoritism with some customers. For example, some can use the restroom and some can’t. Kinda flip floppy.
I just wish all the barbers took the job seriously and focused on getting clients in and out. That’s not to say they all don’t. There are a couple that really do, and I understand there’s break and lunches that they must take. It shouldn’t be a kick back though. I’ve never had a bad haircut here like some others have. For me it’s just the service and output that needs major over haul. I shouldn’t have to spend my whole morning on my day off to get a haircut. After its all set and done I don’t leave till about 11:00am. That’s 3hrs!
Could have done a ton of errands, chores, hell thats like watching one Lord of the Rings movie!

I sure hope this rash goes away

Love it, Karen your the best, Im here right now waiting lol
Cant go wrong over here @ williams best place in the county!

My nephew sat there for 3 ½ hours to get a hair cur, he had been a faithful customer since way before they were at this location. This is no way to treat a loyal customer and when we arrived to find out what the wait would be, we were told there were 4 people ahead of him, so this means that they were averaging over an hour a person. Finally we just decided to leave, sorry to say they lost a loyal customer and their response was pretty much Oh well. I would never recommend this place to anyone

Randomly walked into Williams for a cut based solely on Unilocal.Overall I had a great experience and will be back for sure in a few weeks. Ask for Juan, he’s great at his craft and also very personable.
I’d recommend calling ahead and booking an appointment time especially during the weekend. My walk in took about 2hrs… which I really didn’t mind since there’s a great Vietnamese restaurant next door. I can’t remember the name but will post a review next time I get a cut and lunch!
Check them out!

It’s literally been about 15 years since my last trip to the barber shop or any haircut place at that. Mostly due to bad experiences and overpriced locations. Recently decided to get a trim before a wedding and found this barber shop right around the corner from my house, I came here based on the great reviews for Karen. She is absolutely great, very friendly and knows what she’s doing. I should her a photo of what I’m hoping to eventually achieve with my hair and she knew exactly what needed to be done.
I showed up without an appointment about 15 minutes after they opened and there was already a wait for her, so I recommend making an appointment if you don’t have the time to wait.
It was also great to hear that they have people who specialize with beards, who can help trim and shape and achieve what you’re looking to do, really nice because as mine gets longer it’s something that I’m going to be needing some expert help with. Not many people have the skill to not mess up a beard.
Lastly, the prices are amazingly cheap, I figured a shop like this would be kind of expensive but they were probably the most inexpensive hair shop I’ve ever been too! Will definitely be back!

I have a busy schedule and its hard for me to show up when my favorite barber Juan is working, but Juan always makes time to clean me up by showing up a before his shift actually starts. He now takes appointments on the weekends, which make it easier for me. I also cut cleaned up a couple times from Karen, who also does a great job. All the barbers here @Williams really know how to take care of people.

I came in based off the reviews and got a haircut by Tammy. I asked for a combover and she butchered the hair. I even showed her a picture of how I wanted it and she shaved off my hair like crazy. It was not a recoverable combover so I decided to go with a fohawk and she couldn’t even cut that. Juan was nice enough do damage control. I’m pretty unhappy. Try another person at the store besides Tammy. I only gave another star bc Juan was nice enough to save my hair.

Hands down probably the best place I’ve been to in my area. Love getting cuts here. I’ve been cut by a few of the people here and I highly recommend Sergio and/​or Nai.
The people are great. Location is conveniently placed. Overall area isn’t too bad. What’s best is the quality in their cuts and for a good price compared to the generic shops. They aim to please and are dedicated.
Keep it up!

Just came back from a cut by Karen (Williams Daughter)
Wonderful Work. She gave me a hard-​part combover with a lineup and I left the door smiling.
Karen takes appointments only I believe. So call for her first!!. I called at 9am and got an apt at 10:15am.
Cuts are fairly cheap. My total was $ 12. Tipped $ 12 so = $ 24 for the cut which is still a great price!

Judging by my first visit, avoid the girl at the end Corel rushed my boys and did a horrible job I wanted to cry when I seen my sons hair, had another guy try to fix the mess she made

I have made one visit to William’s, and I can already see why they have accumulated rave reviews.
For an inexpensive barbershop, William’s boasts a very clean and inviting store, with an ample waiting area replete with all the reading material a magazine enthusiast could ask for. With little more than elbow room available on a Friday afternoon, and a lengthy waitlist, I took William’s popularity to be a good sign.
I requested that Karen cut my hair, given her extensive positive feedback in previous Unilocal reviews. As a walk-​in, I was informed that Karen cuts hair by appointment only. Got that? KAREN CUTS HAIR BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. That being said, I happened to luck out — she was kind enough to cut my hair after her scheduled customer didn’t show. I quickly learned why Karen is the most in-​demand barber at William’s. She is friendly, gracious and, most importantly, gave me a great haircut. I requested a cut I had never tried before, and couldn’t necessarily articulate what I wanted, but she figured it out and still gave me the cut I was looking for. After glancing over the waitlist, however, I can say that there are several other barbers here that seem to be just as popular.
I can say, without question, that William’s is my new barbershop, and I’ll be looking forward to paying them a visit once or twice a month for as long as I’m in the area.

I put my name on the list, waited for 2 hours. Then I realized they skipped me and was cutting others who were waiting for 15 min.
Terrible service.

There’s been a boom in men’s fashion and hairstyle: side parts, hard-​parts, pomps, undercuts, etc. And with this boom, these ‘hip’ barbershops have been sprouting around on almost every other block in the OC. What sets William’s Barber Shop apart is that in addition to offering quality, immaculate cuts (both trendy and classic), it has history as well as genuine character and personality. Every barber in the shop has down to earth personality and their great chemistry amongst each other is undeniable. AND, it has true barbershop prices: $ 12 per cut for men. William’s Barbershop has been around for longer than many of us have been alive. The shop has been relocated and passed down from the original owner to his daughter, and she has done a tremendous job in transforming the shop into what it is today.
Anyhow, thanks to Unilocal,I found this place and already received two cuts within three weeks. I asked for Karen, and I’m convinced that I’ve found a lifelong barber. For as long as Karen is a barber and for as long as I still have some hair on top of my head, I’ll be coming back here for haircuts. Well, I guess I could die before either of those things happen but let’s not get too real now.
I asked for my usual – a side part, medium fade (starting with a .5 clip on the bottom, fading up to a 2), and a little trim off the top. I even showed a couple pictures in my phone. Twenty-​something minutes and an enjoyable conversation later, my cut was spot-​on. See the picture of my recent haircut that I posted. One of the best fades I’ve ever had. the type of cut that made my friends say «damn son, where’d you get your cut?» Anyhow, give this place a try and ask for Karen. Tell her I sent you
Cliff Notes: My favorite barbershop in Cali. $ 12 haircuts for men.

Great spot with professional barbers!
all are experts at their craft with reasonable prices but your paying for what you get which is an awesome haircut! shout out to my boys Juan and the new guy Demarco
Juan has been taking care of me since i first went there! watch the flick of his wrist!
Demarco gave me a killer haircut with the minimum of equipment!
long story short any of the barbers in here will hook you up with a great cut thanks williams!

Well a few friends of mine told to me about this new barber in Garden Grove, in great location too. His name Juan @ Williams Barbershop. He’s been cutting hair for years I heard and recently received his barber license and started working here within the last year.
So I made an appointment and I can honestly say it was one of the best fades and cutt I’ve ever had. I have long hair on top and blends it very well. He’s very professional, clean and pretty funny guy too. Let’s just say we hit it off and I’ve been going to him ever since. He’s always there when you need him, he’s even worked around my schedule since I’m a very busy professional and work a lot.
So if you’re looking for a great barber I highly recommend Juan. He’s not only become my new barber the last few months but a friend. So check him out, you will not be disappointed.

I’ve been here a couple of times now and each time I go I ask for Vinay or Sergio. I haven’t been disappointed. They are both really awesome barbers and I go to them when I get my haircut here.
Everyone else knows how to cut too but those guys are just my personal preference. The people there are all really nice and they greet you as you walk in.
Make sure you write your name down when you walk in. If you have a preference for a specific barber make sure you write their name down as well. They do get busy on the weekends so if you don’t want to wait then come on the weekdays.
They are also extremely affordable. They are priced to fit anyone’s budget. If you can’t afford a cut from here then I feel bad for you lol.

oh man, where do I even start.
We visited this place last Thursday (04÷02÷15). My bf was in dire need of a haircut and this place was the most convenient, so we thought. For over an hour, he had to sit there and endure the crap service or lack there of ANY service whatsoever. He had his name on the next page and people were just coming in putting their name and going off for however long to who the hell knows where and coming back directly to a haircut! When my bf questioned the staff, they just shrugged him off and said ‘these people had their names on before you’ (LIKE HOURS AND HOURS AGO!?). What the hell kind of policy is this. Not only that, but kids were coming in putting their name in the little space between the last name of the previous page and the bottom of the paper where there are no lines even and getting seated before HIM! That’s just ridiculous and the staff did nothing about it even though my bf was waiting for almost 1hr. 30 min. We left this crappy barber and will never be coming back.
Tip: Change up your policy and have some respect for new customers.

Living in Las Vegas & working in Burbank, I’ve tried a bunch of different barbershops in my time. I grew up in Anaheim & always went to the old William’s location growing up.
Out of all the places I’ve been to for my weekly cut I never found something comparable.
Juan cuts my hair weekly, love the cut so much I now fly in every week not only for my job but for a fresh cut. Try it out. Great vibe at the next location.
