From Eric's legendary kids cuts to Kendra's 25-year loyal clients — this is the shop Oceanside families keep coming back to. Walk-ins welcome. Zero compromises.
Short Cuts isn't just a barbershop — it's a neighborhood institution. We work on everyone: husbands and kids, women with short cuts, first-time clients and 25-year regulars. We believe a great cut is part precision, part personality, and part patience. We take our time, get it right, and make sure you leave looking and feeling phenomenal. No rush, no shortcuts — well, maybe just the good kind.
A clean, precise cut tailored to your style — from razor fades to longer men's cuts. Works for all hair types, including women's short cuts.
Sharp lines, clean edges. We shape and refine your beard so every detail is dialed in and deliberate.
The full treatment — haircut and beard trim together for a complete, polished look from top to jaw. Our most popular combo.
At Short Cuts, the craft speaks for itself. The barbers here have built real relationships with their clients — some spanning decades, others started with a first-ever kid's cut. They work in every kind of hair, from razor fades to women's short styles, and they genuinely care about getting it right. It's not about speed; it's about the result.
Whether you're a first-timer or a regular who's been sitting in the same chair for 25 years, you'll be treated with the same attention and respect. That's what makes the shop what it is.
"The best shop in town with talented barbers! My husband has been coming to Kendra for 25 years and as soon as my boys were 6 months my boys have been getting their cuts here too! The ladies at the shop have always been phenomenal and my husband still goes to Kendra but Eric is a true gem for cool non military haircuts and INCREDIBLE for kids cuts! Best personality (my boys thinks he's hilarious) he takes his time and makes sure their haircuts look phenomenal!"
"Did a walk-in and Eric was available to cut my hair. It's hard to find a barber that will work in women's hair, I have a short cut but he was all about it! Eric did a great job! I will for sure be back and send my husband in to him as well! Thank you Eric!"
"Today was my second visit (first was March 31). Early in the week and in the afternoon seems to be the ideal time to get a cut as there was a minimal to no wait. I highly recommend Janet as she took care of me during both visits. She knows her way with the clippers and sheers. You can't go wrong with a razor fade and shampoo."
