    Haircut was one week ago and it still looks FRESH.

    Absolutely AMAZING! Roby is super professional and very friendly! Love his vibes and his haircut recommendations have ALWAYS been on point!!!

    I have so many things to say about my experience here at the Lions den! Let's talk about it! So my original Barber canceled on me... and it is usually hard to get an appointment day of so I was happy to find that the Lions den was able to take walk-ins. I called and the gentleman on the phone asked me what type of specific hairstyle I wanted. After disclosing to him the haircut, he recommended me to Robby. I arrived within the next 10 minutes and Robby happily received me. I showed him a preferred hairstyle that I am comfortable with, and he proceeded with the cut. Robby didn't just nail it, he cut my hair correct on the first go! Impressive! He also took his own spin to it, which I appreciate. The level of care, the conversations we had, and the way he took his time shows me that he is passionate about the job. I highly recommend him. Posting pictures of the final result . This place is affordable, reliable, and atmosphere is just right! They had great music and the decoration of the shop makes you feel like you're in a luxurious environment with added water fountain sounds to make it that much more relaxing. Great job Lion Den! I will be coming back

    Everything went well! I went back to Alex and he hooked me up! It was super easy and he really took his time to ask the questions needed, he started with a 2 on the sides and then asked if I wanted to go shorter and he was happy to go shorter so we settled on a 1. Checking in and out was great and efficient. They had the game on so it was great to watch the game as I was getting my haircut. Everyone was laughing and it seemed like there were a few new people that just joined not too long ago as they were still being trained but I love how everyone was helping train them.

    I had a really unfortunate and disappointing experience here. After a few friends had posted their toddles getting cut here, and seeing that the Lions Den promotes elegance and top tier service... I booked with the owner, for a kids cut, which was all available through the booking site. Upon arrival, I waited almost 20min. The owner finally came out, less than friendly and after my son asked to use the bathroom I was told someone else ( not the person I booked with) would cut my sons hair. The reason was "because this barber was better with kids"... I was immediately thrown off but proceeded. However, seemed like the barber was forced to do the cut and stacked us on a previous appointment he had. My son sat through the entire cut, calmly. at the end I noticed awful patches and misaligned cuts . i asked barber to fix a couple of things which he did, however I gave up about the patches because I could notice the next appointment getting anxious walking by the shop as he was cutting my sons hair. The cut total with tip was almost 60 dollars. I dont think that every barber should have an option of a Kids Cut if they dont all enjoy, like to or are good at these cuts. Nevertheless if they dont like cutting kids hair maybe they shouldn't even promote it. I was mostly disappointed because I wanted to support a local San Mateo business owner but left saddened by the way it was all handled. Do not recommend for kids cut unless specifically asking for Santos, apparently he is the only one good with kids, legitimately. After hearing barber talk I also realized I was assigned to "the newer barber" by the owner, it all felt very dismissive and disingenuous.

    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.

    Haircut cut % of the time…read more My guy Fateh is a ‍ with those For the first time in my life, I actually liked my haircut right after he was done. I'm used to just waiting for it to grow back a little bit so that I can stop looking terrible, but not with this guy and not at this place. After that, I haven't stopped coming back. Sure it's not as cheap as great clips, but I suppose you just have to ask yourself if your appearance is really something you want to skimp out on. Don't get me wrong, I get it, money is tight, especially now. But you're going to try and tell me there isn't somewhere else you can save money? It's so obvious now we're literally like $20 more than a super cuts haircut, you can be happy every time you look into a mirror. I get it I get it. I get it looks on everything of course they're not but forget doing it for everyone else. Do it for you! I mean... Unless you don't deserve it. Did you have a super easy week in which nothing went wrong? Were you lazy unproductive dismissive of friends and family a jerk to strangers in a particular menace to old ladies struggling with their groceries? In that case, you're right, you don't deserve to have a haircut that makes you feel good. If you've had a great clips week and been a Supercuts, kind of person by all means than this place is not for you. But if you've worked your tail off, checked in with mom and dad, been "emotionally available" at 2 AM despite being dead ass tired, and if you helped all those old ladies with their groceries, this is the haircut you want, it's the haircut you need, dammit it's the haircut you deserve

    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.

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.
