The Good Stuff
Detailed shaving
Shaving is praised for close attention, focus and careful execution rather than a rushed finish.
Clean atmosphere
Customers regularly mention a neat salon, clean equipment and a comfortable, relaxing atmosphere.
Grooming packages
The combined haircut, beard, manicure and pedicure package is a useful one-stop option for a fuller visit.
Keratin service
Keratin is one of the treatments customers add to a haircut, with one first-time visitor planning to return after trying it.
Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm hours. Call before setting out, especially later in the evening, because a visitor was turned away earlier than the listed closing time.
Confirm booking. If you make an appointment, reconfirm it and your arrival time; one customer said their slot was given to a walk-in.
Clarify style. Discuss the cut in detail before work begins and bring a reference photo if useful, as communication was a problem for some visitors.
Check foot spa. Ask whether the foot spa is working before booking a package that includes it; the hot-water heater had a long-running fault.
Check manicure. Before starting a manicure, confirm the equipment is available and that the full treatment will be completed.

The Bottom Line
Mastery Salon is a men’s barber shop in International City where you can book a haircut, beard trimming or shave, then add treatments such as keratin or a manicure-pedicure package. The strongest reviews describe precise cuts, careful shaving and barbers who listen closely to the requested result. The salon’s setting is a clear plus.
Customers describe it as neat, clean, comfortable and relaxing, and several mention polite, welcoming staff. A full grooming package combining haircut, beard, manicure and pedicure was described as worthwhile, while another visitor added keratin after arriving for a haircut. There are a few practical cautions.
Appointment reliability has been questioned, with one customer saying a booked slot was given to a walk-in. Another found the published closing time inaccurate and was told at 8:30pm that the salon would close at 9pm. Communication about style has also been inconsistent: some customers left pleased with suggestions, but others said their reference or instructions were ignored.
If you want a later visit, confirm the hours first. For foot-spa or manicure services, check that the equipment is working and clarify exactly what the treatment includes before you begin.
