BEST BARBER SHOP

THE KINGS CLUB BARBERSHOP

34085 La Plaza, 949.496.4644

Since buying the shop four years ago, owner Mike Swenson,

along with head barber Scott Young, have carried on the

tradition local clients have been enjoying at this location since

1963. “We are not trying to reinvent the wheel here, but instead

deliver a classic American barbershop experience including

razor-sharp haircuts and hot towel shaves,” said Swenson. —AS

Winter Festival and Kings Club Holiday Party 2010

This winter has us wrapping up 2010 with a lot of holiday cheer at the Kings Club Barber Shop. We kicked off our Canned Food Drive with our Annual Holiday Party last Saturday. It was quite a hoot. We welcomed back our favorite barbershop quartet The Harmony Partners and Scotty relinquished beverage duties to our favorite bartender "Taxidermy Craig". While the Embassy Room was serving up the holiday cheer, Boston was recruiting votes for his run for City Council and I hear there was a Gary Larson sighting. Speaking of City Counsil the Mayor of Dana Point dropped in on his way to flipping the switch for the Tree Lighting Ceremony and all was well.

To those that stopped by and brought gifts for the Canned Food Drive and for the Barber Shop, Thank you. It has been an unbelievable year and we appreciate your support... mtb

JK vs. The Kings Club

June three years ago I took over the barber shop. Family and friends showed up for my first weekend at the helm. It was a one man show for two years until Scotty made a home for himself in the second chair... mtb

The Barber Pole

What is often misunderstood as a candy striper has a history rooted in the tonsorial arts. The Barber Shop at one time was the triage for the hospital and would routinely do procedures such as blood letting, teeth pulling and various medical procedures. The stripes on the pole represent this history... mtb

The barber chairs in the shop are Theo A. Koch's and were built in 1956. I purchased them from an antique barn in Nebraska. They are completely original and I can only imagine the fish tales they have heard over the years... mtb
