Hawleywood’s Barber Shop & Shaving Parlor

The Story

Remember waaaay back when in the good ol’ days when you could go down to the local barber shop, get a straight razor shave, a nice tight haircut and enjoy the relaxed and comfortable atmosphere of a real men’s sanctuary? Well guess what? It’s back and it’s called Donnie Hawleywood’s Traditional Barber shop!

Located in an antique of a building in Costa Mesa, Calif., Hawleywood’s feels like stepping into a time warp back to ’40’s Chicago. From the 0L’ style two- tone brown floor to the sand colored walls heavily decorated with photos of friends and clients with names like James Intveld, Eddie Nichols of Royal Crown Revue, Big Sandy and Lee Rocker to name a few. Let’s not forget motorcycle hero Chopper Dave!

Upon entering this old fashioned barbershop, you’ll see customers relaxing in vintage waiting chairs all the while cruisin’ through another great issue of The Horse BackStreet Choppers and listening to some great music on the Hi-Fi.

Donnie has been mastering this vanishing trade for more than twenty years, but has been cutting hair for friends and relatives forever. Open since Feb. 6, 1999, Hawleywood’s Barber Shop attracts people from all walks of life from tattooed greasers to businessmen and everyone in between. No quick haircuts here brother, each cut lasts at least 45 minutes and you get all the bells and whistles.

After the hot face towel and a precise straight razor shave of your neck and face you’ll get the most perfect taper you’ve ever seen, and Donnie will style you up with his own brand of pomade called “Layrite.” This is the best water soluble pomade ever, it holds like wax and washes out like gel! Amazing! Next comes the old style barbershop neck massage machine that will knock your socks off! Be sure and pick up Donnie’s after-shave called Hawleywood’s #9. Smell like you just left the barber’s chair whenever you want.

Cuts

Nobody provides a cleaner cut, because no one is more thorough. No matter what your style is—classic businessman, high taper, flat-top, low and clean, psychobilly quiff or classic Mohawk—we’ll get it perfectly right, like we have for discerning gentlemen since 1999.

All haircuts are finished with a hot towel, straight-razor shave around the neckline and ears; and a scalp and neck massage. You’ll walk out the door with your choice of styling—and lookin’ sharp!

Shaves

Give us an hour, and we’ll change your whole outlook on life (it’s true—hot towels and an expertly wielded straight-razor will do that to a man).

Our classic hot towel, straight-razor shave is a multi-step process that’s luxuriously invigorating. You’ll experience multiple hot towel applications, slick and soothing soaps, moisturizers and oils that will prepare your face for an impossibly close, silky-smooth shave. Just sit back, and enjoy. It’s the refined way for gentlemen to relax.

We finish all shaves with a splash of our own #9 Bay Rum, for a clean, masculine scent that drives the ladies wild.  Take a bottle home with you and smell like you just left the barber shop, every day!.

Shines

Hop on up – Hawleywood’s classic shoe shine service will make you feel (and look) like a king, with results so stunning you’ll pass inspection from a five-star general! Get your shine on while you’re in the shop, or take advantage of our dropoff service—you leave ’em, we’ll shine ’em!
