How would you describe your shop’s vibe?

Eclectic, but rooted in the ‘old world’ with a hint of Bay Rum.

What’s the most popular cut in the shop at the moment?

High n’ tight with a side part, or an occasional center part mixed in.

Tell us something we don’t know about Uppercut Deluxe products?

We’re just just barbers’ man… Seriously though, Uppercut’s sincerity as a brand. As a small business on a shoe string budget, we appreciate everything UCD has done for us, as well as the trade.

Who is the favourite artist to spin in the shop?

In the Winter, Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker. In the Summer, Cal Tjader

What product do you use the most of?

Ha! Recently, Barbercide and hand sanitizer. But seriously, the styling powder works for just about everyone.

What’s the best tip for someone visiting the area?

Grab a Mai Tai, a stogie and dip your toes into the great Pacific Ocean.

What's the best advice for clients before walking in?

Call the shop (949) 496 – 4644, or text your barber for an appointment.

Who is the shop’s biggest barbering influence?

Master Barber Jim Rogers from Solana Beach, Sand Diego.

What is your favourite shop (other than your own)?

Five years ago we had a fire at Kings Club that put us out for about six months. We are forever grateful to the beauty parlor, Salon Revelation, that had a couple of stations available for us. We love our trade, and have a ton of respect for all the barbershops that are carrying on the art and craftsmanship of a proper traditional haircut.
