I decided to try a new shop a couple of days ago, and as any man would confirm, this is always a nerve-racking feeling. Moving from one barber to another takes time, trust, and risk. I booked an appointment with Marlon at MGX Barbers, and the experience was seamless.
The shop is in a prime location with plenty of parking and is easy to find. There are several other businesses nearby (CVS, Safeway, etc.), which is extremely convenient if you need to run errands before or after your appointment.

Benjamin always elevates my son’s self esteem! Once my son came to his first haircut weary from awful experiences elsewhere, we have stayed with Benjamin. My son always asks him exact haircuts and Benjamin came through 100%! Today my son asked him for a haircut that Benjamin recommended for his birthday this weekend, my son since we got home and he showered has had a smile and a sense of security like no other. It is a blessing to teach our young boys self care and Benjamin is talented at what he does. Show Benjamin a picture or inspiration of what you want. He got you!
