We Are Building Something. Are You?


Mark-Jason Solofa Men's Grooming is not a place where barbers come to take appointments. It is a place where craftspeople come to develop their standard, build a clientele, and be part of something that has been nationally recognized for over a decade.

We have been featured in The Daily Beast, AskMen, and the Milady's Standard Professional Barbering Textbook. We have held the title of #1 Barbershop in the World. We are building something in Berkeley and Castro Valley that is bigger than any individual — and we are selective about who joins us.

If you are a licensed California barber with at least one year of shop experience, a commitment to service that exceeds your commitment to technique, and an understanding that a client relationship is built over years — not appointments — we want to hear from you.

What We Value

Service before ego.

Hospitality before transactions.

Growth before comfort.

Team before self.

Character before talent.

We can teach techniques. We cannot teach values.

We are not looking for a barber. We are looking for the right barber.
