Barberia

When Antonia gives me a precision haircut it always looks perfect. And if she's not available, Terry (the owner) does a marvelous job. I travel over 20 miles to get to Barberia and it's worth it! more

i HEART this place so much. terry cuts my hair and courtney colors it. i usually let them have fun with my hair and trusting them almost always guarantees a fun new 'do with plenty of compliments to follow. strangers walk up to me all the time asking about my color and cut. Pros: great hours, great service, great hair Cons: none! more

After going to about 12 people trying to explain what blonde was, I was referred to Barberia. Jackie is absolutely the best colorist. And Terry makes sure all employees are educated on everything new. Also the best in hair cuts & styles!!! I will never go to anyone else. Pros: Stay up-to-date on all things hair. Jackie is the best!!! Cons: NONE! more

This salon motivated me to try things that I had not done before like the Brazilian blowdry, I loved it! The price is right and I like that everyone in the salon can do everything even though you usually get your own personal stylist. My hair is so much better than it was before I started going here. Wish I had started coming here when I first moved here 10 years ago! Jackie takes great care of my daughter and I. Pros: Family feeling, but cutting edge and professional/clean! Cons: No drawbacks more

This friendly, professional salon offers personal advice and guidance to enhance your hair and gives you a confident glow after they have treated you with their products and knowledge. I enjoy an appointment once a month and look forward to seeing their staff and renewing my color and cut. The very best treatment I have found on the entire peninsula. Pros: Best hairstylists on the peninsula Cons: No drawbacks more

Barberia and their outstanding team of professionals are the most talented and educated, up to date hair designers in town. Terry DeMarco and his son T.J. are excellent business owners as well as stylist. I've been going there since the 80's. Now that's a committed client. Pros: Very high industry standards Cons: none more

Great Salon and great experience! Pros: They are well skilled Cutting edge and on time more

Excellent stylists and service. I drive 1oo miles to have my color and cut. Best salon in No Calif. more

First, let me state that everyone is wonderful there. I especially adore all the Receptionist, especially Melissa. I have been going to Barberia for twenty years. Pros: BE TREATED LIKE A QUEEN OR KING FOR A DAY Cons: sometimes difficult to find parking during lunch hour more

Barberia has a system that works! Their timing is perfect. They've got girls washing hair (and giving amazing scalp massages) while your stylist is working with other clients and then transferring you back to your stylist seamlessly without waiting in between. Pros: Best Hair Color, Brazilian Blowout/Straightening, & Haircut! more

the girls who wash hair are awsome!!!!! and was happy with the results! Pros: awsome junior stylist/apprentices/ great hair cuts! Cons: none more

I have been a customer at Barberia for many years and have always received excellent cuts, color and service. My most recent appointment was last minute - I asked to be fit in just before the holidays. Although Jackie squeezed me in, she did not rush through my hair color. This was my first time with Jackie, and she was great! My hair is wavy and she suggested the Brazilian Blowout to try straight hair for a while. Pros: Easy parking! more

I visit Barberia regulary and am always amazed at the cleanliness, professionalism and quality I receive every visit! I see Ling for color and any of the other stylists for cuts. I try to rotate cuts, I can't seem to choose one sylist, they are all awesome! Pros: Friendly staff, clean more

Where do I begin? My first time with Liza was amazing! I have had so many bad experiences with mediocre hairstylists. I am so picky with my cut and color. I absolutely HATE it when my hair is screwed up. That's why I highly recommend Liza. She gives you exactly what you want, but better! I have always had one hairstyle in my mind, went to about 3 different stylists (3 different places mind you) and not ONE could make my image a reality. Except Liza. She made my dream hairstyle come true. The cut was great. Tempting yet fun and manageable. My hair color was funky, vibrant and HOT! All my friends love it. I must say I will have THE NICEST hair walking around town. Thanks to Liza, I love touching my hair and playing with it. And so does my boyfriend. If you are looking for an out of this world (master) stylist, go to Liza! She even has a cool Russian accent! I will definitely be seeing her again! Pros: coloring and haircuts! (by Liza!) Cons: none more

Unlike most of the other reviews, I've tragically despised my parking experience at the Barberia. However, this does not reflect upon the spectacular services rendered at the salon. Approximately every three - four months I make the 2.5 hour drive to Foster City to undergo my long overdue haircut. In the past few years, I've bounced around to several salons in Sacramento only giving them one chance to do a fabulous job on my fine wispy hair. more

Where do I begin, I am not hair friendly at all and upon the discovery of Terry DeMarco's Barberia a dream truly came true. It is close enough to where I work to go at lunch and who doesn't want to be pampered at lunch. I have had several hair stylist work on my hair, Emilia, Ling to name a couple and each and every one was a delight and I left them each feeling beautiful and renewed. There is nothing like a good shampoo during a hard day to put the spirit back in you and this is the place to get it! You are treated as if you were truly someone special by everyone because they think we are and they are not fighting like the old days for customers, where the stylist had to pay for the chair. Terry DeMarco knows how to treat his employees and we the customer truly benefit from just that. From the top of your head to the tip of your toes, you are in good hands at Terry DeMarco's Barberia. Thanks to everyone! Pros: atmosphere, refreshments, parking, customer service, it is a whole package of good stuff Cons: none I can think of more

what can i say? liza is by far a genious of hair color, cut and style. she is a great listener and has the coolest russian accent i have ever heard. she is very straight forward, and does not sugar coat her opinion. she will tell you how it is. if she thinks something will not look good, she will not be afraid to tell you. this type of honesty saved my hair style and color. i took her advice to try something new after always having the same style and color, and i have never felt more beautiful. Pros: happy staff, lots of parking, easy to get to, great service, high quality of work Cons: sometimes noisy, everything else is allllllll good more

I have frequented Terry DeMarco's Barberia for over 20 years! In two decades, my hair style and tastes have changed...OFTEN. Countless people have asked me who does my hair. I have referred numerous people to the Barberia and specifically to Irene. Irene has done my color for 20 years! She has humored my various tastes as a redhead, dirty blonde and brunette. I've had subtle highlights, chunky highlights and a single blonde streak around my face. ALWAYS people want to know ...'Who does your color?' 'Irene at the Barberia in Foster City.' She is professional and patient. She always keeps me informed of the latest products available. Irene is warm and friendly. She has the ability to make you feel that you are her most important client. Irene is more than my colorist. She is a friend. I would recommend her to my closest friends! Donna Kenison more

My last week's appointment was a total disaster. I came in for color and cut with Irene. I had to wait for about 20 mins while Irene was finishing with the customer who came before me. Finally, after I got my color and it was time to wash it off Irene already had another customer waiting, so she asked another girl to wash my hair. After washing my hair that person made me sit in the washing area for 20 mins while Irene was cutting hair of the customer that came in. When I finally went back to Irene?s station I had to wait another 15 mins while Irene was finishing blow-drying that customer?s hair. Finally, it was my turn. But after making me wait for so long, Irene did not even have decency to spend time on my hair-cut. She super-quickly cut and styled my hair since in the middle of working with me she was told she had another customer waiting. more

When I moved back home from college four years ago I went to several different places on the peninsula and in san francisco. I have medium to dark brown hair naturally but blonde compliments me more, so you can imagine the horror that I was put through with other salons. I would have orange in my hair... a ring of brass around my scalp... chunks of weird colors. It was a nightmare! I had heard good things about barberia and went in there expecting to get what i had gotten for the past year and a half. I met with Antonia who sized up the color and damage of my hair. Not only did she fix the mistakes the other salons had made, but she nursed my hair back to health (without me purchasing any of their in store products!)! I go to her often and even if I don 't like the end result she will fix it immediately. Everywhere I go I receive compliments on my color!! I have referred three friends and two family members there. Everyone there has been so kind and courteous. I have received a few haircuts from there as well and they have been great. I recommend this place for their knowledgeable stylists, great customer service, and relaxing atmosphere. Pros: competitive prices, knowledgeable staff, wonderful end result. Cons: There are none! more
