Cutting hair in North Park since 1978, Raymond's Barbershop at 3065 University Ave has operated continuously through three generations of the founding family. The shop's roster of women's and children's styling overlaps with the broader beauty menu at Efectos Beauty Salon on University Ave for families splitting grooming across providers. Every haircut finishes with a hot-lather straight-razor cleanup on the sideburns and neckline, and the barbers execute freehand flat tops, classic '50s pompadours, and modern skin fades. Multi-generational families who book regular appointments also rely on the salon and spa services at Bellisima Salon & Spa for members who need services beyond the barber chair. The most technical service is a freehand flat top executed entirely with clipper-over-comb technique, requiring precise angle control and continuous leveling to achieve a squared profile.
