1927 Barbershop & Shave Parlor

I had been coming to this shop for about a year and have tried all the barbers in the shop. They’re all pretty nice and chill guys who know what they’re doing when it comes to cutting hair. My one complaint and it’s not really a complaint because the barbers can’t really help it, is that they seem to be super busy all the time and it gets a little awkward when it’s super full of people because the shop isn’t that big.

Absolutely awesome shop, only shop I’ve been to where the conversation flows between all barbers and the people getting haircuts, super chill vibe. I usually get my hair cut by Mike and he does an insane job with my half black half white hair. Great location on main.

My husband called on Sat. (¹⁄₃₀) to find out about hours of operation, and was told they were open till 6pm. He realized he couldn’t make it there on time, so planned to go on Sunday. He looked up their hours on the website, saw they were open till 5pm (I see here on Unilocal,it says 3pm Sundays)
He went in with our son, before 2pm, and was promptly told sorry, they were done for the day. So, they lost a customer, not just for the day, but will never return. If your website says 5pm, your door also states that, at least what he thought he saw, and your info. here says 3pm. And you state last appt. is 30 prior to closing, well, in our humble opinion there was NO reason to tell them, they were done for the day, when they arrived a bit more than a hour before 3pm, 2 hours before 5pm… depending on which hours for Sunday are correct.
Horrible customer service all around in that regard.

Awesome little place. My husband loved that they offer you a beer while you get your hair done. Go check out the bathroom if you dare. Lol.

Very happy with my son’s haircut. He is very picky. Needed a guy’s insight, not a chick from Sport Clips. Got exactly what we both wanted. Price was reasonable. Took walk-​ins, but there might be wait. Will definitely be back next time.

Great atmosphere. Staff were very polite. Prices aren’t that cheap but you do get what you pay for. Great service overall. Will definitely check them out again.

Busy shop… But worth the wait, that’s a good sign! Josh did an amazing job on my sons hair. That’s not easy seeing that I own a salon myself and have been the only one to cut his hair till today

I had an amazing experience with the guys at 1927. I was getting married in Oxnard and wanted to have my groomsmen looking clean for the ceremony. 1927 closed down the shop for the morning to accommodate all the haircuts and straight razor shaves my group would need. I was surprised how many customers they had to turn away for the morning, but it made things kind of special for us. I had my best straight razor shave and everyone came out looking quite dapper. Great option for a wedding party. I would make this my go to place if I didn’t live so far away.

Great haircuts and shaves! My son said he doesn’t want to go anywhere else. They did a great job on mine as well making my thinning hair somehow look… thicker. I can’t grow a beard so I can’t comment on the shaves but I assume they are equally as skillful.

I’ve been to many barber shops and chain places alike… 1927 is the best. You have knowledgable guys that really know what they are doing. They take everything into consideration; all the small details like pulling down the back of your shirt and getting those straggler hairs. Also, great vibe and atmosphere. AND you get a beer. Highly recommended.

This place is rad! The crew is all personable and welcoming. The shop is clean and the decore is badass! My son wanted a specific cut that was done perfectly. Thank you Mike!

I’m very displeased with the lack of patience of one of the barbers.
This person cut my hair about three times in the past and not once did I feel that the haircut was done properly. I came back to this barber because most barbers usually don’t cut my hair right the first time around, so I show up again for them to see what my calec’d out hair does when they chop off certain areas. I came to this particular barber three times because he seemed mad genuine about his work, and not once did it feel awkward.
It must have been the heat or something, but this guy had very little patience for me today (Sept. 20, ’15.) Upon arrival, the barber was half knocked out in his chair (but I didn’t mind because I called prior to arriving asking to make an appointment, which someone else mentioned it was cool for me to walk in.) Then as I began showing and explaining the type of haircut I wanted, this barber just stopped me and told me to sit so he can get started. It was a bit surprising, but I quickly shrugged it off.
Anyway, after he finished, the final cut simply didn’t feel right; so I told him about it and he did his thing to make it better. I don’t know what happened after that, but stuff started to go downhill after I got up off the chair. I pointed out yet again that there was a dark patch of hair right above both ears — and the dude just looked at me and told me that he didn’t want to cut my hair anymore, and that it was free — and mentioned that I should not come back to him anymore since I was ‘complaining ALL the time.’ I guess he realized he cut my hair way too short for me to pay him, because that’s the only reason I can think of why his attitude changed.
I realized early on that this guy was just tired and fed up. And he got even more fed up after misinterpreting what I was saying — Stuff like ‘complaining’ that he wasn’t doing his job right, or rather me telling him that he was doing his job ‘wrong.’ The funny thing is that I not once mentioned that what he was doing was wrong, nor anything of that nature — I was only pointing out that these problem areas exist, thus he should not simply chop it off, but rather follow the natural direction of the hair using scissors to avoid having hair stick up — EVEN IF i wanted my haircut short. (Correct me if I’m wrong, please)
Although this barber mentioned to have done haircuts for ‘GQ’ and ‘hundreds of other heads before me’ using clippers, the haircuts I got were rather common and done really fast, and poorly executed — just like someone a six-​dollar joint.
All n’ all, I would not recommend getting your haircut with the last barber — the one right besides the wooden bench. He’s cool, but he will not take your hair type into account when cutting your hair — because it happened to me four times in a row with no improvement whatsoever.

I am back visiting Ventura and a friend told me about this shop. When I go to a barber I want to enjoy my time while I am there and get the cut I want. This shop is very cool, good music, cool art, it’s clean and the staff is fun to hang with and the prices are fair. These guys are into classic cars and the cool styles that go with it. This culture defines Ventura and will always be cool.

This place is awesome. My 6 year old son got the best haircut ever here by Josh. Everyone was really nice and now he is ready for school! He also loves his new hair do. Thank you Josh!

The 1927’s crew were killing it yesterday at The Johnny Cash Roadshow Revival. Johnny would have been proud. Ryan did an amazing job on my cut. They were very friendly, and had one of the best booths at the event. They take professionalism and skill to a whole new level. It was really nice to finally find a place close to home. I’ll be hitting them up in a few weeks when I’m ready to get cleaned up again. The best Barbershop in Ventura!

Im sitting here at the best barber shop in town!
I asked? can you give me the Flock of seagulls cut they said even better, ill give you the Lumber sexual haircut… couldn’t be anymore happier :) I wish Unilocal can give out 10 stars… Thanks 1927 for the best service I can ask for. .
Sincerely,
Lumber jack FRO!

A couple of things, when Unilocal says open 10 – 5 and the door says 10 – 6 and you’re only open until 3:00pm on Sunday, you may want to cough up the buck ninety five to change the sign, my guess is you can update your hours on Unilocal for free. But I digress.
Went in with my two Sons to get their haircut based on the glowing Unilocal reviews. Walk in at 2:30, «how many of you want haircuts», «just the boys». «Ok». So we sit down, one barber is sitting in a barber chair socializing, the other two are barbering. Lets call them barber 1 (chilling), barber 2 (giving a flock of seagulls haircut) and barber 3 (giving a lumbersexual variant cut). Around 2:45 two other guys walk in, barber 2 «we actually close at 3:00», see above. So around 3:00 barber 3 is done and says «I’ve gotta go, he’ll be taking care of you (motions to barber 2). Barber 1 is still in chatty Kathy mode. We get up and leave. So I can’t really comment on the quality of their work, just their astonishing lack of customer service.
Why doesn’t Unilocal have zero stars?

GO GET YOURSELF CLEANED UP! 1927 Barber Shop & Shave Parlor is one of the best! Good vibes, Great cuts and excellent shaves (from what I’ve heard — I have a beard). They even trim up beards real nice.
It’s a small shop and everyone that goes in there is really friendly. Professionally trained and Skilled barbers. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

1927 is the best Barbershop in Ventura hands down!
Bob & Ryan always do a great job cutting my hair.

Place rocks, if you’re tired of the hip hop music and want a great haircut this is the place, I will be back.
Bobby and James run a great shop!
