Beto | Shop Manager & Mentor Barber | Berkeley & Castro Valley, CA

Beto is an East Bay native and a cornerstone of the Berkeley men’s grooming community. As the Shop Manager and Mentor Barber at Mark-Jason Solofa Men’s Grooming, Beto brings a wealth of elite experience curated at some of Northern California’s most prominent traditional barber shops.

Barbering is in Beto’s blood—literally. As a third-generation craftsman, his journey began with his grandfather, a lifelong barber in Mexico. Today, Beto honors that heritage by blending Old World craftsmanship with modern precision.

Specialist in Traditional & Classic Men's Styles

While many know Beto as a premier Pompadour specialist, his technical mastery extends to a full range of premium grooming services, including:

  • Traditional Haircuts: Expertly executed tapers, fades, and classic silhouettes.

  • Beard Design & Sculpting: Tailored shaping for the modern gentleman.

  • Luxury Straight Razor Shaves: The ultimate grooming experience featuring hot towels and precision blade work.

  • Style Mentorship: As a Mentor Barber, Beto not only cuts hair but also shapes the next generation of East Bay talent

The Experience: Meticulous Detail & Aloha Spirit

Beto is defined by his meticulous attention to detail and a friendly, welcoming disposition. Whether you are a regular or a first-time guest, his passion for the craft is evident from the moment you sit in his chair. He believes that a haircut is more than a service—it’s an opportunity for fellowship and community.
