Service was quick and fast and will come back for another haircut they got about 5 barbers couple of them for walk ins The got plenty of TVs with sports on for the waiting game It was my first time and I'll come back Vibe was chill with plenty of sitting Great for kids and adults read more

I'm from the Bay Area theses here at Gametime got it together. Walked in and was greeted with a smile and Had a wait no big deal. When my cut was done,was very pleased been looking for a place like this for a while since I'm new to the area. Highly recommend this shop . See you guys again ! read more

They don't disinfect there clippers between cuts. Keep your Hep C clippers. Doesn't take much to use that full can of disinfectant. Pure lazy/Unsanitary. Every barber here needs there license taken from them, they all are guilty of this. One dude didn't even use alcohol after the cut or sweep the hair from the chair before I sat. (Right chair closest to window) All of these reviews can rave about this place, but none of them smart enough to realize they got cut by dirty ass clippers. read more

Nope. They were unprofessional and the place was dirty. There is a busted couch against the wall which is whatever, but under it you can see a TON of hair and trash. They don't sanitize their stuff either. My kid's hair looked good though, so I mean they have skill, but the lack of general cleanliness is why I won't go back. I'm not a neat freak this place is just gross. read more

Always a great cut at this shop. Rj is one of the best but they are all very meticulous. If you don't call ahead there might. There might be a wait but well worth it. Very professional and prices are the best. Haircut , fades, beard trims the Are 1st class. Sometimes the best is worth the wait Enjoy read more

I'm so irritated. I had my son and my man go to this place since it was one of the highest rated and brand new. I've been reluctant because even though the reviews are high, all my son's friends who go there don't look so sharp when they come out. I was praying that since my man was going (andl adult, whom I clearly told 'make sure the barber does everything right, don't let my son out of that chair unless they cleaned him up'). When they got home I was highly disappointed First off, i felt like my man didn't checkout my son's hair before it was finalized and then I look at his and start laughing and thinking, WTF, How could they let either of them leaving liking like today. It was terribly horrible I took a picture to show my man the back of his head so he knew what they let him go out the door looking like. To bad b1g1free don't know how to speak up for himself... if it was me is drive right back and demand the owner or a professional to fix the mistake. Instead, I was left to try to fix both of the disasters myself. My biggest pet peeve about barbers is they don't clean up the back of the hair around the edges of the hair line or have longer prices of hair where it was supposed to be shaved/ lined. This place ain't that cheap either. Worst experience ever, huge disappointment. It was so bad my mother seen my son a few days later and took him somewhere else to fix it. read more

Gametime Barbershop - Seriously...wtf? Wish I'D taken a better picture. THEY styled it that way, half his hair in the back was like a flap of stuff hair - Barbers Near Me - Manteca, California

Gametime Barbershop - Barbers Near Me - Manteca, California

AMAZING! After I had a very horrible experience with a previous barber shop.. I called and made an appointment with Mitch, and he was super nice over the phone and when I got there I was greeted very nicely and he took my son very quickly. He was very detailed with his hair cut and was very good with my wiggly toddler! As a mother of a little boy, I've been to many barbershops who treat me very poorly, don't get greeted, make me wait for ever. But not GAMETIME! They were all super friendly & im glad I finally found a place that I can take my son too regularly! read more

Best shop in the 209! Everybody is friendly and know how to cut hair! If you don't go here for your cuts you must not like looking fresh!

Zack is one of the best barbers in there! Great with kids, razor fades, line ups & straight razor shaves! Text him to book an appointment 209-204-4228 read more

Finally a place that can hook up a fade consistently ! Barbers here are legit Old fashioned straight razor line ups and sports on big screens They're open 7 days a week I'm not sure I could ask for more ? Maybe a stamp card? Oh wait they have that too read more

Definitely worth a try. Tim hooked me up without an appointment and lined me up right. Loved the clean shave too. Definitely recommend.

I was searching for a place I felt comfortable getting my hair cut for this first time in 12 years. I went to a barber shop in lathrop and the people were rude so I left. A few days later I found Gametime on yelp and decided to check it out. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by the barbers. One of the barbers named Tim was available. I noticed he had long hair in a ponytail like I did. When I told him I wanted to cut my hair after 12 years he told me he knew exactly how I was feeling and that he would hook me up with something nice. That really put me at ease. He did a great job! I was very pleased with the professionalism and quality of work that I saw while I was there. I would definitely recommend this barbershop to anyone and will continue to go back for haircuts. read more

My 12 year old Allen Velez Jr. will only get his hair cut here!! Been going here since he was 5 yrs old and refuses to go anywhere else!!

Yelped an open barber this morning and Gametime showed up. I feel like I've been thinning or loosing too much up top, so I went in for a bald fade and Mitch was there to help me figure out what would look best. He took his time and the result was better than I've ever experienced anywhere else. This was my 1st time here but not my last. TODAY I HAVE A NEW BARBER!!! Thanks Mitch you've definitely earned my business. (Bonus people, he's got multiple big screens so I was able to catch some ESPN on one of them). See you next time Mitch!!!! read more

Pretty decent spot. Tim's cut was spot on. A little busy but considering they were one of the few shops open on New Year's Eve it was expected. Decent conversation. I'll definitely be back! read more

Even though they say open at 9am on Sundays everywhere (including the front door) don't go because I wasted my time and gas just to find out nobody was there. Even waited 20 minutes in case somebody was running late. I would fix that. read more

Great place with excellent experienced barbers and always pay attention to details and perfection. Friendly service...but it is important to make an appointment.... read more

Called and told me come in an hour. Got there told me 30 mins. Left an hour and 15 mins after waiting whilw 2 guys were in the back... Wish i could have gave 0 read more

We went here for the first time today. The shop is very very clean, the service was great, and my son loved his haircut. We will definitely be returning. Just a heads up--make sure you bring cash they do not accept cards! read more

Make appt! Walked in as soon as we did they let us know they are not taking walking. Although there was 3 guys sitting around and one cutting hair. Nobody else in the building. I guess they really don't like cutting hair. read more

It's 10:25 place still ain't open , sign says 9am. Great business etiquette lost another one

Mitch is the only barber in town my son will let touch his hair! We've been all over and he will only come here!

Right as we were walking up they flipped the sign to 'Closed' and the guy inside disappeared - 20 minutes before the listed closing time.

This is my new spot! Had to find a new barber because my old one wouldn't respect appointment times and whenever I happened to be late it was a problem. Doesn't seem like that's a problem here but aside from that the work that Mitch does is amazing, he pays attention to detail and takes his time to make sure the client leaves happy and fresh AF lol. I've been here twice, but it only took my first visit to pick this as my new spot and I live in Tracy. Mitch has been my guy both times but the other barbers seem to do a great job as well. read more

Freshest barbers in the 209.. If you don't make an appointment expect to wait, and that's a good thing because if there wasn't a wait where you're at, you're probably getting cut by an armature. No one outside of Gametime touches my hair. The owner and all barbers take pride in their work. read more

@HonestA you really want people to take your reviews seriously? Your grammar is bad, no offense. Proof your reviews before leaving then. This place is great, good cuts, good people, and great price. read more

Mitch took care of my boy! I was nervous because it was my son's first cut in 10 years but he he was able to handle it. read more

Best line up and service that I have ever received. Nothing but great vibes and good convos. The shop owner is down to earth and is doing great things with this business. Ask for RJ when you go here, best barber to ever cut me up. I've been to many barber shops from Cali to Boston and nothing comes close to this shop. read more

Got a haircut for the first time at this place from Mitch, made an appointment and he got me in within an hour. Got a nice fade and will go back again. They have plenty of tvs, sports to watch, plenty of seats and a fridge with drinks for sale. read more

Definitely one of the better Barbershop we like to go to. Mitch always does a great job on my son.

Clean barbershop, rj always my hair but everyone does a great job, and really good prices.

Awesome new place! Mitch does a great job! Followed him from his past employer because he is awesome. Shop is modern sport style and clean. All I do is tell Mitch to do what he wants and he doesn't disappoint! My son is special needs and Mitch works great with him. Cool new cut. Isaac can't wait to show his friends at School Just a quick side remember to bring cash only. Great prices too. read more

Gametime Barbershop - Awesome job on my special needs son! I just tell him to do whatever he wants and he never disappoints! Price is good too. - Barbers Near Me - Manteca, California

See all

Mitch gave my 2.5 year old his very first haircut. He was so patient and worked with us to keep my son nice and calm during a new experience for him. He also really made sure to ask me for a clear idea on what I wanted and if I had pictures to show him. He also helped me by warning me that the pictures I had would look different due to the difference in my sons hair thickness, and gave me alternative ideas. Thanks so much Mitch!! read more

Big shout out to Mitch Gray for taking the challenge of working with my 16 mo. old son. Mr Gray was very gentle and patient. He did an awesome job on his hair cut. Im definitely returning to Mitch Gray at Gametime Barbershop. Thank you Mr. Gray! read more

This is a true barber shop right here. Actually, the best I've ever been too. I had Tim cut my hair, and he did an outstanding job. He's a very cool guy too, easy to talk too. He spend a good 30-40 minutes cutting my hair. This place is all about quality than quantity. Personally, I care more about quality, and I don't care how long it takes just as long it's done right. I can be quite picky sometimes, but overall Tim did a very good job. Also, I can be a bit criticizing sometimes, but he can work a little bit more in getting rid of some of the excess hair that was on my forehead. Overall, Tim did a fantastic job cutting my hair. I highly recommend this place to everyone. read more

Went in to this shop for the first time today and I was impressed. There was a little wait as there were only two barbers when I got to the shop but it went quick. Mitch cut my hair and did a great job, I got exactly what I wanted. Mitch is very professional and definitely knows what he's doing. Overall, this a a good place for kids, teens, adults and those looking for a professional cut. I will definitely be headed here from now on when ever I need a haircut or quick line up. read more

Here's a nice long story you'd like to read before choosing to go to this shop. Side notes: this was the first and LAST time going to GameTime for my family and I (and we didn't even receive the "service" everybody seems to be raving about).. also, before I begin (for the employees that might read this.. SWEEP YOUR DAMN FLOORS! Okay let's begin. When we first walked in around 12:30 on a Saturday, they were a little busy, understandably so. Naturally, we were made aware of the wait time. But when they saw how many people we had (which included 4 adults and 3 children under 5years old) they seemed eager to take us. So one of them told us to come back in 45-50 minutes and assured us that we will "have a spot saved." That was not the case. When we came back within that allotted amount of time given, there were about 3 people in the waiting room (better than the 5-6 people waiting the first time we came). However, after waiting for about 20 minutes, we were still not acknowledged. Keep in mind, the same barbers that were there the first time and completely heard what the gentleman was telling us, did not say a word or acknowledge that they recognized us. Seeing as how the barber that spoke to us the first time and assured us we would have our spot when we came back within 45-50 minutes, was not there, we gave it more time and waited, hoping that he'd walk in soon and see that we were back and ready to have our haircuts. About another 15 minutes past and still no one said anything. I even stood at the front counter with my child in arms and stared at any and all of them with a slight smile, waiting for them to see that I was wanting to speak to one of them. I did not want to be rude and just walk into their work space- maybe I should have. Fast forward to another 20 minutes (waited 40 minutes total), and finally the gentleman we spoke to, the one we were waiting for and relying on, walked in and walked right past us with a fast food brown paper bag in hand. Before I got a word in, I checked to see if this was the same guy- I didn't want to say anything and it wasn't him. It was. At that point he was sitting on the couch in the back chomping down his food and began talking to someone. Another barber came to us and said "hey sorry it's lunch time right now so it's gonna be a few minutes". He knew I was about to say something so he quickly turned back around and started talking to his client. We were overly frustrated that one, the guys in there knew who we were (we aren't hard to miss as we are a party of 7) and knew exactly what was promised to us, yet no one said anything to acknowledge that we are next or even apologized that we can't have our "spot" right away. And two, the man who did promise us a spot when we came back, did not honor his word. On top of that the wait was INSANE. Coming back 50 minutes later then waiting 40 more minutes?!? No. That's unacceptable. There's a few lessons to be learned in all of this, and it is solely for the barbers at GameTime Barber Shop, and that is: honor your word and don't act stupid when you know what's up. Not sure why I can not give zero stars... seeing as how they give zero fcks about potential income. read more

The best barbers in town! I got a cut from Mitch before my sisters wedding and it was the best hair cut I've had. They take their time with haircuts which is shows how much they care and want to perfect their talents. I've been coming here since they opened and haven't had a bad experience. Support the locals always !!!! read more
