I have fairly wavy and thick hair. Melissa and Harper have both killed it. They're definitely pros when it comes to men's hair in all regards.

I have been a loyal customer of Sue, the stylist at Kempt Men's Hair, for over two years. She is absolutely amazing! She never disappoints. I am satisfied with the results every time.
Sue's expertise shines through in her work. She has an incredible eye for detail and always understands exactly what I'm looking for when it comes to my hair. Sue consistently delivers exceptional results. I have received many compliments and my wife, whose opinion matters the most, loves what Sue has done.
Not only is Sue, talented in what she does, she is also warm and friendly. She always greets me with a smile and makes me feel comfortable. Sue's friendly demeanor and genuine interest creates a relaxing and enjoyable experience.
It's also worth mentioning that Kempt is a clean and inviting space, with a modern and trendy vibe. Everyone is friendly and professional.
If you're searching for an incredible stylist who consistently delivers amazing results and provides a pleasant experience, then look no further than Sue at Kempt. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a stylish men's haircut!Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 2Oh no 0Business owner information

I HIGHLY recommend to get an appointment with Devan!!
Been a long time client of Devan and she is the best stylist ever! She always gives thoughtful suggestions if you're not exactly sure of what kind of style you're going for, but if you already know the kind you want, she is very detailed and will ask if you like the cut so far in case you want adjustments.
She is very experienced and the best stylist I've worked with - also super kind!
You will NOT be disappointed!Helpful 2Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

Get Ken.
If you want a top-notch haircut that is informed by thoughtful consultation and attention to detail, get Ken.
If you want a spa experience that includes a soothing scalp and shoulder massage to loosen you up before the haircut, get Ken.
If you want a quiet, no-small-talk R&R in his chair, get Ken.Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

I recently got a cut at KEMPT and only went due to a reschedule from my usual barber (and I needed a haircut quick!). They were able to see me on short notice and let me say, I am so glad I made the trip. The experience I had while there was worth every penny spent. It may be slightly more expensive than what you MAY be used to - but trust me, we are luxy now and this is worth it.
First, you can change out of your shirt into a shirt they provide - wow I didn't realize how much of a difference this made - I didn't have to worry about hair falling on my own shirt.
Second, they offer you different beverages as a complimentary service. Heck yes!
Third, (and I HIGHLY recommend doing this), they offer a 5 minute relaxation service where they push on your shoulder and trap muscles while waving some lavender scents around. I wasn't sure what to expect at first and I am glad I said "yes". I didn't know how much I needed that.
Then, onto a quick wash, cut, wash, product, etc.
On checkout, I saw they had a 3 cut deal for a smaller price so you bet I capitalized on that! I recommend you do too if you enjoy your experience as much as I did.
PS - I left this place feeling like a whole new man, ready for the holiday craziness.Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

Hi there Jonathon,
Thank you so much for your kind words and detailed description of your service with us! We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed it. We look forward to seeing you again for your next cut! :) - David F.Mission Viejo, CA421214Jan 28, 2024
Great spot with friendly, experienced staff. Devan always does a good job on my hair - either with a tried and true style or by making suggestions when I want to mix things up a little.
The amenities like drinks and a moment of relaxation are just icing on the cake.Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

Went there today to get my hair styled, and wanted to leave a glowing review.
All of the people there have been great but I always schedule my hair styling with Whitney as she has a serious amount of experience with my type of hair and is super pleasant to deal with. I can be picky and finicky, but she always manages to help me look my best!
The vibe there is amazing... The music is always en pointe! I have been going there for years and will continue to do so due to the amazing service I always get from Whitney.Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

I have been going to KEMPT since 2017 and I highly recommend it for men's styling. My stylist, Sue, is excellent. She's careful, friendly, smart, and most importantly does a great job cutting my hair. KEMPT is always very clean (they offer you a t-shirt to change into and a drink if you'd like one), and the atmosphere is very professional. I've had to change my appointment last minute a few times over the years and it's always easy to work with them.
Finding a stylist you trust is really important -- I was just talking to Sue about that today -- so I'm really happy I found KEMPT. I highly recommend Sue and I am very satisfied with my experience at KEMPT over the years.Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

I've been a regular at KEMPT since 2020 and I wholeheartedly endorse it for men's styling. My stylist, Devan, is amazing. She is meticulous, amiable, and intelligent and, most importantly, consistently delivers exceptional haircuts.
In general, KEMPT maintains a high level of cleanliness, and the ambiance exudes professionalism. I highly recommend Devan, and my experiences at KEMPT throughout the years have left me thoroughly satisfied.Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

Ken is an amazing stylist and I have been going to him for the past 1.5 years. He's a true professional and knows a lot about hair and style. Very experienced.
After my first appointment, I noticed how evenly my hair grew out and maintained good shape even after 4 weeks. Ken pays attention to head shape and how your hair naturally flows. As someone with stubborn hair follicles, I have been to several barbers that don't evenly cut hair, which ends up growing out poorly after a week. I would highly recommend Ken for a cut!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information
