    After meeting Christian
    Stevie C.

    My husband's beard was unruly and way out of control. We are both very pleased with Christian's attention to detail, and friendly manor. He did an incredible job on his beard and hair. An amazing experience and as long as we're in the bay area, he'll never go anywhere else.

    Joel is by far the best barber around. Set appointment ahead of time you will not regret it!

    I missed having Joel near by in Redwood City; he opened his own shop in San Mateo and his reputation follows him! He is by far one of the best barbers I go to! He takes pride on his cutz! Do set an appoitnment ahead of time -- he is BUSY all the time and I will not recommend doing a walk in on him or any of his other barbers! Love him but do miss having him near by!

    Waiting for our lil guy to wrap up in the chair ...

    I used to get cut up at Philgood Cuts in SSF but my barber Tom moved to this Barber Shop which was closer to his home.

    I'll begin by saying that my teenager is pretty sensitive about his haircuts. He doesn't style it,…read morebut he's particular regardless; he also has some sensory sensitivities. I came across Full Circle from both Instagram and the San Mateo Daily. The barbers looked young and cool while also doing great cuts and lending expertise and advice, so we gave them a shot. They did not disappoint! My son's appointment was with Codie, one of the co-founders. He was so personable, joyful, and engaging that I immediately knew that my son would love it here as long as he liked his haircut. Codie was extremely attentive - asking my son both personal/conversational questions and questions about preferences of the cut. Needless to say, my son loved his cut almost as much as he loves his new kuya, Codie. The vibe is very barbershop - everyone's family, loud, and warm. If it's your vibe and you become a regular, I wouldn't expect to drop in and out. It's a laid-back environment - everyone who walks through the door is greeted warmly, and these guys really know what they're doing. Just from that one visit, I saw their clientele spanned the age spectrum, and everyone seemed genuinely happy. I think we found my son's new barber. The price point is pretty steep - $70 for my son's cut. He was coming in with a mop on his head, so there was a lot of work to be done. Codie spent a lot of time working on my son, too. He was me-ti-cu-lous! If my husband had hair, this would probably be his new spot, too.

    awful experience .Barbershop disrespect my time. made an appointment at 6am yesterday then they…read moremoved it to 7am but I was already on my way. thanks a lot you stole 1hr from my important day! It is not the way I am doing business, will not recommend this hair saloon. 1/5 stars.

    I asked for a fade with a line along the top to separate the longer hair from the shorter hair. I…read moretold him to start from skin at the bottom and blend the fade in. Instead, he gave me a flat, bald cut with a super high fade, no line, cut the top of my head very short, and left the sides long. I look like Lloyd from Dumb and Dumber after his haircut. The barber's name is Jose. At first, he completely missed cutting one side of my hair, so I had to go back to get it fixed. When I returned, some guy--who probably didn't know I could understand Spanish--was talking trash and badmouthing me for coming back. Then Jose took even more off the top without me asking, which made the haircut even worse. Normally, I don't care if a haircut turns out a little off, but I've never had people actually tell me it looked bad--until today. I've gotten comments all day that made me go back and take a closer look. Now that I see it, I can tell how ridiculous it looks. And it's not all on him, either. They had the music blasting so loud I couldn't even hear myself think. How about stop treating the barbershop like a dance club and start treating it like a barbershop? I'm sure he missed some of my directions just from the noise. He also seemed more focused on not having to redo any work--which he actually told me--than on making sure the client was happy. Totally unprofessional and just a bad experience, especially for a $50.00 haircut. The pictures are me doing my best to make it look halfway decent. And mind you, I've gotten this haircut from three other barbers at different places, and not one of them messed it up this badly.

    I had an appointment for a haircut. They told me to come at 6:30 because a stylist would be ready…read more I show up at 6:05. 6:33 rolls around and nobody says a word to me. No update, no acknowledgment, no "hey we're running a few minutes behind." Just me sitting there like I have nothing better to do. I'm not an unreasonable person. Things happen. Stylists run late. I get it. But the bare minimum in any service business is communication. Just talk to me. Tell me what's going on. Treat me like my time has value. Nobody did that. So I walked out. 4.5 stars and 70 reviews tells me this place can do better because clearly people love it here. But whoever was working the floor tonight dropped the ball completely. You don't book someone, push them to 6:30, and then go silent when they actually show up on time. People say time is money. I just want to be treated decently. Neither happened tonight. The vibe of the place was okay, clean. The experience left a bad taste and I'm not going to pretend otherwise.
