First time getting a haircut here, and honestly had the best haircut experience of my life with…read moreTaylor. Surprised this place only has 20 reviews up to now, but really happy I ended up trying it out for a last minute haircut before leaving for vacation. I've been to other shops nearby that had over 100 reviews; most of the time I'd end up with a barber with an attitude and feel like they're rushing me out to get to their next customer. So I stopped going out for haircuts and was more satisfied cutting my own hair at home and saving the money. Taylor was the total opposite vibe. He asked questions throughout the haircut and explained what he was doing. I learned a ton from just one haircut about my own hair and head shape. And the things he recommended were spot on to fix things I've been struggling to get right at home and even with other barbers. I also thought my hair was just too thin on top to have anymore volume vs how it was in my 20's. But with a more balanced cut and a little styling, Taylor got my hair looking way more full than it's been in years. This review might sound like too much, but I'm just really happy with my haircut and my wife really likes it too, so I want to make sure to give Taylor full credit. Definitely recommend grabbing an appointment with Taylor if you're looking.

My friend was looking for a quick cut on a nearby barbershop yesterday. Their website says to make…read morean appointment but we walked-in and thankfully they were nice enough to accomodate us. Taylor was our barber and he really went above and beyond with the haircut. He constantly asked about the things you wanted for your cut and really got into the specifics. We opted for a low-taper cut with a messy mid-part and he got it on point. I truly appreciate that Taylor was always looking out in the middle of the session if my friend was ok with the cut. We brought a picture reference too. Their area is also clean and they used some Dyson products and he finished off the haircut with sea salt spray. There is ample parking in the front and some parking across the bowling area. The shop itself has a cool and cozy vibe to it. It wasn't very busy and the staff are really good people. Overall, my friend loved it and vows to come back for his next cut and become a regular here.

The shop supposedly closes at 9pm and it was only 7pm so I figured why not. I drive there and walk in and they tell me no one can cut my hair, despite the shop being open for "2 more hours".

I met Shy randomly while I was walking to a muffler shop near Hansol Barber Shop. I booked an…read moreappointment and am beyond happy. I brought my girlfriend with me who is a little disabled and right off the bat Shy sat my girlfriend down in a barber chair to get her comfortable and brought over a little desk so my girlfriend could sit her bag and water. She offered her tea. Shy then showed me to my hair and asked how I wanted my haircut. She took her time and went little by little to make sure I was happy with the length. She was very knowledgeable,friendly, and a master with the clippers and scissors as well as detailed as she shaved some longer eyebrows and checked the nose hairs. After the cut Shy walked me to the sink for shampoo and conditioning. The hot towel and face massage was so relaxing. I knew instantly that I found my new barber. The shop was clean and the customer service was far beyond words could describe. The extra steps even as small as they can see make such a huge difference. The way Shy even assisted my girlfriend speaks so much about her amazing personality and care for the customers. I will definitely be a regular at Hansol Barber Shop. Thank you Shy.

My husband has been going to James for over 10 years now and for good reason. James is a…read moreperfectionist when it comes to his craft and it is evident with every single cut. We moved across the Bay and my husband still drives to San Mateo for his scheduled haircuts. That speaks volumes to his workmanship and professionalism towards his clients.

Stay Growing!

We need more stars than 5 here! I've been sitting in Allen's chair for almost 9 years since he and…read morethe fellas were at the San Mateo Zoo on El Camino. Service includes haircut (appointment recommended) and optional line up and beard trim. Hair washing and hot towel service is also available. Allen's attention to detail and our heart to heart life discussions and prayers make this a time I look forward to. The other guys (James, Alex, Aaron, Martin) are also very experienced and exceptional in their craft. I would not hesitate to ask any of the other barbers for a cut if Allen was not available. You can book appointments online or in person and they can book ahead of time on a regular basis. Payment is cash and most of them (if not all) take Zelle and Venmo. Parking is easy and along the street. They also do children haircuts as well. Excellent shop!

So - this will sound like an odd review, but I was in town for a couple of days to attend a…read morefuneral. I use a straight razor with a safety razor and can't bring blades on the plane. Most of the time, it's not a difficult thing to find a drugstore or Grocery store that has replacement blades. This was not the case In Burlingame. As a result, I was facing having to go to the funeral without a clean shaven face. The last place I checked was Gameday, but I did not have much hopes. After all, who's going to sell me a razors when they could insist I get a cut? I didn't catch the name of the barber in the first chair, but he helped without hesitation. He was really nice and refused to take any money from me (it was just one razor, but I offered $5 for his troubles). I lived in the Bay Area for a long time and my wife was a long-time resident of Burlingame. Some of you may remember the city as it was 30 years ago. People just took care of each other. To whomever that individual was that night, thank you for helping out. Not just with the razor, but in helping bring back that small time feel. By the way - Dorco razors are now my hands-down favorite.

I recently moved over to the east bay from San Mateo and have not found anyone who can provide a haircut/styling as good as that provided by Alessandro. I now make a 30+ minute trip to get my hair styled by him. When I got to know he was providing service after the Covid lockdown I could not wait to get my hair professionally clipped and styled. The precautions and safety measures taken are very professional and I got an excellent service. If you need a cut , I highly recommend going to Alessandro during this COVID period or post it aswell.
