“I have been going to Ray at Star Image for my haircuts and beard trims. Ray is not just a barber; he is a skilled craftsman who knows how to work wonders with hair and beards. Every time I visit Ray, I walk out feeling like a million bucks. He pays attention to detail, listens to what I want, and always delivers fantastic results. Ray is very welcoming and professional. I highly recommend Ray to anyone looking for top-notch grooming services. You won't be disappointed! Just remember to carry cash as Ray is old fashioned and doesn't accept credit cards.“

“Just moved to San Mateo and was looking for a solid barber. Stumbled upon Full Circle Barbershop through Yelp. Booked an appointment and was linked with Nate. Great guy, professional and polite. He mentioned that he just got his License but he’s been mastering his craft for years. And his work shows! His work is of a seasoned vet. I’m so glad I found a great Barber and Shop near me!“

“Absolutely ?? The barber killed it. Super clean fade, great attention to detail, and chill vibes all around. He really listens to what you want and makes it happen. Spot was clean, service was on point. 100% coming back.“

“Jenny is an amazing hair stylist! The haircut prices are very reasonable, and she does an awesome job. I got a haircut, beard and moustache trim, and a shampoo and condition for my hair after my cut, and all that cost me far less than any other places I've been to for those services all together. Plus, parking is never an issue at this location, so getting in and out is super convenient!

Update: had yet another visit to Jenny today, and am excited for her to open up another location in San Mateo that I can go to! She also used an excellent leave-in conditioner (Pravana), a bottle of which I then purchased from her as well! Yet another great visit!“

“Easy-going friendly service guys are easy to talk to good environment. Love the place.“
