Hi everyone, this is Josh’s wife Sel. I wanted to share an update, as many of you may not know, Josh was in a serious motorcycle accident on Friday. He is stable and home now, but it’s been a lot to navigate. He’s dealing with multiple injuries and taking things day by day.
We’re incredibly grateful he’s okay, but it will take some time before he’s ready to be back behind the chair. He’s eager to return, and we’ll share updates as we have more clarity.
We have moved into the new location:
1520 N. El Camino Real #5 at The Terramour, San Clemente
We’ll continue to take things one step at a time and keep you posted.
We’ve felt so supported by this community through messages, help, and generosity. I can’t overstate how much it’s meant to us. Thank you.
Some people have asked how to support, and a dear friend set this up for us, so sharing it here:

But truly, your prayers, encouragement, and patience mean everything right now.

Haven’t posted a fresh cut in a while. This is to quell the rumors that I don’t do kids cuts! I do, but only if they’re fresh little fools like this guy! Now get out there and slay! “Gotta get it together, and see what’s happening!” @ Northern Monkey Barber
This guy’s been fighting on the frontlines for all of us small business owners in South Orange County. He came by today for a haircut and to see how I was doing with the reopening. So happy for the help that he’s given us!
