Finding a barber you genuinely trust isn't easy, but once you do, you stick with them. That's…read moreexactly how I feel about Armando at Lion's Den Shave Parlor. I've been coming here every 2-3 weeks for almost six months, and not once have I left disappointed. The consistency is what really stands out. Whether it's a regular trim or a fresh fade, Armando always takes his time, pays attention to the little details, and makes sure everything looks perfect before you leave the chair. The shop has a relaxed, welcoming vibe, and everyone is friendly from the moment you walk in. You never feel rushed, even when they're busy, and it's clear that customer experience is something they truly care about. One of the best feelings is walking out after a haircut, looking in the mirror, and thinking, "Yep, that's exactly what I wanted." Every visit I leave feeling fresh, clean, confident, and in a better mood than when I walked in. If you're looking for a barber who delivers consistently great cuts and genuinely cares about his work, I highly recommend booking an appointment with Armando. I'll definitely keep coming back every few weeks.

So I recently moved from the Houston area to SFO for work and it's been a grueling process with…read morehaving to find a new barber. I met Jorge as a bartender at a local spot called Jack's and since I frequented Jack's a bit when I first got to this area, he gave me his info and told me that his full time gig was as a barber. I had a 2 day work conference I needed to go so I decided to him him a shot instead of going to a Supercuts or some type of corporate haircut place, which I've had bad experiences in the past. Since I wanted Jorge cut my hair, I needed to confirm a time when he would be able to cut my hair. They also do walk ins but since I wasn't familiar with the other barbers, I thought it would be best to just have him block out a time for me. Anyway we set a time for 12pm and since I wasn't familiar with the area where this shop was, I came a bit early to make sure I was there on time. The good thing about making an appointment was that because I came early and called ahead he said he was able to take me earlier. This place wasn't hard to find but since it was raining that day and I was new to the area, I had to find street parking (seems like all street parking or garage parking comes at a cost in the Bay Area). But I found metered parking close to the shop and with me being there a bit early I ended up eating at a pizza joint a few doors down from the barber shop. He was able to cut my hair and was good at the cut. He even rinsed out my hair after requesting to do so, since I was going straight into work right after. He was pretty concise with my cut, showing me as he went along and giving me a play by play with what he was doing. He was consistent with this process as he did the same for the client before me. I was satisfied with the cut and left content. Since I still haven't found a place to live, this will determine if I would return since I would preferably like to find a new barber relatively close to whenever I decide to live. But the service was good, it was just much pricier than what I'm used to in Houston and now living in the Bay Area. But Jorge was good. Super communicative and patient with how you tell him to cut your hair. I noticed that this location also won a few awards that they displayed on the wall. The ambience of the establishment was nice with the black and gold contrast as well as a wall of greenery (not sure if it was live plants or fake) and 2 waster fountain features on both ends of the store front window. It was definitely a high end vibe feeling. But if you're looking to try a new barber out, check out Jorge at Lions Den Shaveparlor!! Tell him Sebastian sent you!!

The first time I went in for a cut, he was able to perfectly achieve the look I was going for. And for every subsequent visit since then, he's remembered the way I like my hair with no additional guidance needed. He is friendly, patient, and thorough - I can always depend on him making me look my best. The shop has a laid back, casual atmosphere. It's always nice seeing regulars coming in and hearing the friendly banter between the barbers and customers. Thanks for all the fresh cuts, Moe! I'll be coming back to Eddy's for my haircuts as long as I'm in Burlingame.
