The best place to get my son hair cut
So far so good. Havent yet encountered discrimination (bear in mind the discriminated reviewers were 3 years ago), and can actually cut my hair.
I used to go everytime here when I lived in Fresno. Since 1999! I had a few haircuts from the OG Mario before he retired. Eddie and Donna are the best. Theres always a long line for Eddie, but never underestimate Donna. She knows exactly whats she doing. Always gave me the best fade and used a straight edge razor for my neck hair. I miss this place. The topics people talked about while waiting were always interesting. Some funny, some sad, some informative. I think this barber shop my be the last kind of OG barbershop left in Fresno. Not to mention, they dont charge an arm and a leg for a cut. Hands down the best! Miss you guys.
DONNA IS AWSOME
Number one. Very good with the people.
I’ve known Eddie and his family since high school. In fact, They have been cutting my hair since the early 2000’s. I love there barber shop. It is the last bastion of hope in a country where masculinity and male pride are considered toxic. It’s pretty much the only place in Fresno where you can get a great shave with a straight edge razor. And everyone there is a skilled barber in the ways of traditional barbering. No gimmicks. No fancy bs or fake themes and decorations. And not once have I ever heard anyone there discriminate against anyone due to religion, race or sexual orientation. In fact, I’ve seen and talked and met people there form all walks of life. Which is what a barber shop should be. A beacon for community and a meeting pot of different individuals conversing and connecting with one another. And as far as the kids that are there with the employees, I love the fact that they are preset. What better example of a family owned business! This shop is not for the person seeking a place sorrounded by a bunch of flat screen televisions with all the sports games on. If your looking for that, go to a sports bar. But if your looking for a great old fashioned hair cut and a great conversation with down to earth hard working people that actually care about ur hair and about asking you how ur day is going, that have walked in your shoes and know what it’s like to struggle and make an honest living, go to Mario’s. But if your looking to get a haircut at some place where they charge you and arm and a leg to pay there rent and pay for there fancy expensive gimmicks, then go to river park or the mall and get ur hair cut there. Also, Donna is awesome! She’s awesome with kids! And if you don’t want to wait in line call ahead. That’s what I do.
Fresh fades no matter what chair you sit in! They make you feel right at home!
Been getting my haircut here for the last 15+ years... my boy Eddie always takes care of me and does a more than perfect job... great family ran business
Great job
Best service ive gotten specially for the price!! Shaved my side burns with machine and plus haircut at no extra cost....how hard is that.... thank you Maria!!! Taking my 3 year old next for sure.
Ive been coming here since I was a little kid, pretty much all my life, many many years. I used to get my haircut by Mario before he retired. The haircuts have always been great! I cant find anywhere else that gives them better, especially by Eddie, the man at the back of the shop. Been coming to him for years now. But in the past 2 years, the experience there has REALLY declined. Despite the NO FOUL LANGUAGE signs, it doesnt stop the employees from using foul language. Many times, loud verbal fights break out among the employees (who are mostly family), which makes it very awkward and uncomfortable for all the customers silently watching on. And professionalism has become an issue: employees not showing up on time, not being there, old buddies coming in just to hang out and drink beer, etc. And one more thing.. I know they have kids and have to take care of them, I get it, and I dont expect them to drop their kids because of their jobs. But there ARE solutions to this. The kids have become a huge distraction for the employees, not enabling them to work properly, and from time to time, even having to discipline them in front of everyone.So, I write this, not because Im spiteful or mad (I love the people who work there and have known them for many years), but because I want them to know what their business looks like through the eyes of a customer, so they can find solutions to these issues, and become even better than they are.I say try them out at least once. Their hair cutting skills are the best. But the atmosphere is not one I want to be around. As for me, I think Ill find somewhere else to go from now on.
Homophobic business. Bigotry and homophobia should never tolerated. These people refuse to allow lesbians in their establishment. Discriminating against a person for being LGBT is no different than discriminating against a person for being Latino or for being a woman. Most of their clients are Latino men. Youd think that because they serve a group that has been historically discriminated agains they would have compassion for others. But they dont. Such heartless people dont deserve my familys business. They homophobes bring Fresno down and make us look like backwards fools. SHAME!
I have been going to Marios for many years for my hair cut.I always get a great cut and at a very good price.Friendly employees.I would recommend Marios to anyone without hesitation.You will be very satisfied with both the quality and the price.Ted
Too bad the owner is homophobic. Asking 2 university honor students that are home on spring break to leave her shop because they are gay and holding hands? She said its her shop she can do what she wants, although it may be true, there are discrimination laws in the state of California. You cannot deny service to someone simply based on their gender, race or sexuality. You cannot ask someone to leave because they are gay. Horrible horrible horrible and extremely hurtful way to run a business. This barbershop is too raggedy to think you can discriminate against people and still have customers. This is not OK
Very family oriented affordable and very good barber
Does anyone know eddies number?
Family Friendly Barbershop and can cut any style of hair.
Just looking for the new number
Good cut good people family friendly goto my man in the back if your going out this week.

Always a great place to get my haircut at a great price.
Great people
Closed but says open
Best shop in Fresno- Donna is a hair artist.The cleanest fades& edge ups u have ever seen....
Called in and was told to come at 1230. Came on time, still waited a hour and a half just to be told to leave for holding hands with my girlfriend. Reason being was because we are lesbians, holding hands should be left at home and there was kids around. Never again will i be coming here. Highly unprofressional.
Been goin here since i was in my teens im44 now
Been coming here since I moved to Fresno in 2001. Inexpensive, fast and Clean fades and razor work.

Came for a haircut at this barber shop but the older woman there made a comment about me and my partner (she was leaning her head on me) of being too close. Will not come again.
