“Around the Edge gave me one of the best haircut experiences I’ve had. The shop has a relaxed, comfortable vibe, and the staff made me feel welcome right away. It didn’t feel rushed at all—they really took their time to get everything right.

The barber was detail-oriented and made sure the cut was clean and matched exactly what I asked for. I appreciated how precise they were, especially with the finishing touches. It’s clear they care about doing quality work.

I left feeling really good about the cut and the overall experience. Definitely a place I’d recommend if you want a sharp look and a professional, friendly atmosphere.“

“Hitters Barber Shop is easily one of the best spots I’ve been to for a haircut. The environment is clean, laid-back, and welcoming, which made the whole visit really enjoyable. The staff is professional but still friendly, so it never feels rushed or uncomfortable.

My barber did a great job listening to what I wanted and added their own touch to make it look even better. The end result was sharp, clean, and exactly the style I was hoping for. You can tell they take pride in their work and want every customer to leave satisfied.

I’ll definitely be going back and would recommend Hitters Barber Shop to anyone looking for a consistent, high-quality cut and great service.“

“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!“

“There are some very talented people working here. Sammy listened to what I wanted and took his time giving me the best cut I have had in years. Will definitely be coming back!“
