Dylan | Associate Barber | Berkeley, CA
Dylan is a dedicated member of the Mark-Jason Solofa Men’s Grooming team, bringing a unique blend of Southern hospitality and technical precision to Berkeley. Originally from Kentucky, Dylan moved to the Bay Area with a singular mission: to master the art of traditional barbering and become a premier licensed professional in Northern California.
Expertly Trained in San Francisco & The East Bay
Dylan’s journey into professional grooming is rooted in elite education and hands-on experience. Before joining our Castro Valley location, he honed his skills in the vibrant San Francisco barbering scene, where he attended the prestigious Cinta Aveda Institute.
Currently completing his California State Barbering & Cosmetology Apprenticeship Program, Dylan combines high-level theory with the "Old World" craftsmanship that defines the MJ Solofa brand.
Signature Services & Southern Hospitality
Dylan attributes his success to his Southern roots, believing that genuine hospitality and relationship-building are just as important as the haircut itself. He specializes in:
Precision Men’s Haircuts: Tailored styles from classic tapers to modern fades.
Signature Grooming: Meticulous attention to detail for the discerning gentleman.
Beard Design & Maintenance: Expert shaping and line-ups.
Traditional Shaves: A relaxing, premium service rooted in barbering heritage.
Life Beyond the Chair
When he isn’t refining his craft at the shop, Dylan is an avid outdoorsman and a dedicated animal lover. He finds inspiration in the natural beauty of the East Bay, bringing that same calm and grounded energy to every client who sits in his chair.
