Here’s the homie Brandon who runs San Mateo Zoo showing some true island pride. If you’re in the San Mateo area stop by. They have got 6 barber chairs, throwback hip hop vinyl, spray tips, streakers, mixtapes, krink, consignment  and FITTED CAPS. Not your average one stop hip hop shop. Get on MAGIC!

Shane is a San Mateo graf legend and business man. Starting in the early 90’s he held it down as

San Mateo’s premier hip hop record store Below The Surface, which when times changed he flipped into a successful online business So Far West. He’s got a nose for successful new hustles like a fox smells water in the desert. He does it all. But lately you can find him at one of his two barbershops, San Mateo Zoo or Headshots holding it down with a straight edge razor and liners, with an all hitter cast of 10 barbers working his shop’s chairs ceaselessly 6 days a week. Appointments are a necessity.

With an acute business mind he’s always got two or three new projects in the works. Next on deck is the

expansion of his San Mateo Zoo location to incorporate a full fitted hat shop along with blue print plans for out of state projects that shall remain low key for now. Nothing is out of grasp for this humble dude who’s only comment on his success is “Anyone can do it”. Humility has gone a long long way for this yung entrepreneur. Oh and did we mention the  homie is BLASSTED! GET UP ON MAGIC!
