Negative experience: I went twice, and they cut my hair inches shorter than I wanted or asked. I even had a picture to show them, and they let me down.

Michael Lorino Published on Google 2 months ago

Fantastic experience: Have been going here for years. One of the best barber shops in the area. Excellent service, clean, and always a great cut. No appointment required.

Negative experience: Bad spot. They ignore instructions. I should have read the reviews first, seems to be a theme.

Clark Kent Published on Google 2 months ago

Negative experience: Horrible. Ignored my instructions. My hair is now in a state that will not cooperate at a when combing, 100% because “just a trim please” was not understood and she cut my hair way short, and way high. It will take a couple months to get it manageable again. Based on the other reviews, looks like this is a pattern. Someone should probably inspect their licensing. They have a habit on reviews of claiming because they can’t find the name or email that the customer must “be confused with a different shop”. Most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen. We know exactly what shop this is.

Pete Delaney Published on Google 3 months ago

Negative experience: Won’t be back. Was on business trip staying at a hotel nearby and thought I’d go ahead and get a haircut. I was a walk-in and believe the gentleman’s name was David who cut my hair. Very nice man but has no business cutting hair. I have simple hair style that requires nothing but a #3 and #2 clipper. Put it this way…..my wife laughed when I got back to Atlanta later the next day and said “babe… you gonna need to go get that fixed.” I think I’ve said enough.

Aldo Raine Published on Google 3 months ago

Negative experience: Do NOT recommend. I came in with medium length hair. I showed a photograph for reference and said “only a trim please”. She said “to the skin?”I said “no, not to the skin”. Within minutes I had a legitimate high and tight, to the skin, and short hair. Absolutely furious. The guy sitting next to me told his barber the guard number, and wanted a fade. The barber ignored him and started shaving. He was also not happy that his simple directions were ignored. When the most basic of style communication can’t be met, or understood…unsure which is the issue…for two different customers in the span of minutes, there is a problem.

Javier Alvarado Published on Google 3 months ago

Fantastic experience: There's a reason why this is known as the best barber shop in Alexandria. They are customer-focused, ensuring you don't feel rushed from the barber chair and you walk out with a great haircut. The staff here are very friendly. They always do a great job maintaining the place. Parking is easy out front, just pay with the ParkMobile app. Life happens, so don't forget to send an email if you need to cancel. Most of all, tip generously!The prices here are much better than other barbers, and the quality of the cut is much better!

Eduardo Marquez Published on Google 3 months ago

Negative experience: Overall, low quality, poor hygiene, and bad value. I do not recommend this shop to anyone and will not be going back. One star. This was one of the worst barber experiences I have had. More concerning, the clippers appeared dirty and unsanitary. Shortly after this visit, I developed seborrheic dermatitis on my scalp, which I did not have before. That alone is enough to ensure I will never return. The haircut took far too long, and the results were poor. The fade was uneven, the beard trim was sloppy and rushed, and the overall quality was unacceptable. For what they charge, this was nowhere near professional. The shop is cash only, which would be fine if the service justified the price. It does not. It is significantly overpriced for subpar work.

Sam Schwartz Published on Google 4 months ago

Fantastic experience: Had another great cut and color from Simone at the St. Asaph St. location in N. Alexandria. She was really helpful in choosing a flattering color and a style for my cut. She’s friendly, and does a great job.

Fantastic experience: I always get great short haircuts here from several barbers

Toby Friesen Published on Google 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: I was exceptionally pleased with the haircut I just received from Tony here. The amount of detail he put into getting the fade correct was impressive. I also really appreciate a barber who still uses hot shaving cream. Very nice cut. I’m not always in this neighborhood, but when I am I’ll be getting my hair cut here.

Fantastic experience: Suanne is the only person I go to and always does an amazing job with my fade!

Gary Covington Published on Google 9 months ago

Negative experience: Walk ins not accepted, ignore the signs that say they are. I walked in asked if they accepted credit cards they did not told me to walk a block to ATM. I came back then asked if I had appointment I referred to the sign saying walk ins are welcome, he said sorry not today. Then I said I wish you told me when I first walked in.

Wadud Safa Published on Google 9 months ago

Positive experience: Tony is my barber here and he knows his stuff. As he himself says, Tony makes you handsome. Make sure it is Tony who cuts your hair. I went to someone else coz Tony was busy and she scratched and cut the back of my head multiple times. It was hurting all day. Also the top of my head wasn't cut with equal lengths.

Ian Johnson Published on Google 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: Tony Tony Tony Tony that’s all you need to know. I’ve never seen Tony in a bad mood. He loves what he does and I love how meticulous he is. Customer since 2016. Get the Tony special and you won’t be disappointed.

Cory Pham Published on Google 9 months ago

Negative experience: I am so done giving this place a chance. I have gotten over 10 haircuts here and for some reason, each haircut gets worse and worse. I show each barber here the same picture of me( the first good haircut I get here and liked). I describe exactly what I want and for some reason they completely butcher it. I don't know if its the lack of communication or the lack of skill but I am done with it. Here is the last disaster they gave me when I asked for a high fade, hard part, and to trim enough off the top for a faux top. Thank god my hair grows back fast because I look like a god dam clown. They might have one or two good barbers but their staff as a whole do not know how to cut hair. Avoid this place. David was the last person to give me this disaster but he is not the only one that does an awful job there.

Jack Reynolds Published on Google 10 months ago

Negative experience: Expensive, slow, and bad. I just spent $28 to sit in a chair for 45 minutes and walk out with the worst haircut I’ve ever had. It’s clear he didn’t listen to a word I said because I had to stop him from pretty much shaving my head. Guess I’ll be wearing hats for the next few weeks. Needless to say, I will not be going back.

jackson m Published on Google 11 months ago

Negative experience: Although the place has good reviews, I had a bad experience. The barber Jimmy had no sense of curtesy, he was cutting my hair, in lack of better words, as if I was an animal. Very aggressive with his handling, hit my face with a decently hot wet towel, pulled my hair to ask questions, not to speak of a low quality, and uneven mid fade, he was very close to get in altercation. Will not go back again.

Phillip Fulp Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I have to say when I set the bar for hair cuts, Jasmine is the best. I fly around the world a lot and sometimes have to get cuts elsewhere. None can compare to the perfect cut she does every time. She is perfect every time. All the staff there do a great job. Very professional and very reasonable prices. Well done and thank you!!!!

Brandon Benjamin Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Online booking is super easy. Kim and SueAnn are both excellent - high quality, efficient, consistent. It gets busy so I highly recommend making an appointment, but they do work hard to accommodate walk-ins.

JMD24 Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Leo has been my go to barber since moving to the area 3 years ago! Jimmy also gives a great haircut when Leo was booked up!

Sean Zein Published on Google 1 year ago

Negative experience: I asked for a short haircut, even showed the picture, but the barber guy did everything like he wanted to. Also the hairline in not straight. He left some long hair on my head. Very disappointed in the lack of communication for a simple military haircut.

Alec Soran Published on Google 1 year ago

Negative experience: I asked for a medium and immediately cut into my hair very high. I commented on how high it was and my barber took it as that I wanted a high fade instead and proceeded to give me that. Very disappointed in the lack of communication for a simple military haircut.

Jeremy Griffith Published on Google 1 year ago

Negative experience: The service here has gone downhill over the years. They’ve continually raised prices and the quality of cuts has diminished. To make matters worse, they say they take walk-ins and then tell you to come back 3 hrs later. After they’ve already ripped you off with their overpriced ATM (since they’re the only place around that only takes cash).

Matt Jason Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Truly the best place to get a haircut around Alexandria. Great service and great people. They care. SueAnn is fantastic.

Creighton Wright Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I have been coming here for over a year and have always had an excellent cut for a great price.

Spencer Edwards Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I have had my hair cut by several different barbers at this location- each has been friendly and each cut has been great!

Cameron Cheape Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Had my haircut twice here from Kim and they were 2 best cuts that I can remember. You can tell she really cares and isn’t just trying to get you out the door. 10/10 will be back!

Diego Lourenco Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: One of the best haircuts I ever had. My wife even confirmed it. It’s a cash only place. Make an appointment before going in.

Kaifi Sajlee Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Some of these comments hating just to hate. Let me help you lost men out there who don’t understand. Find the right barber is like dating. You have to go to a place a few times and see which barber works for you. Once you think you’ve found the one, then it’s time to embark a relationship. This is where your barber gets to know you and your hair over time. From the look of some of the negative comments, some of yall have never built that bond and it shows in your profile pic. To the men complaining about wait time…it’s a barber shop, learn the etiquette. To the men complaining about price…good luck to ya. To the men complaining about having a bad time, learn to communicate what you want and don’t always expect your first time to be a good time. ✌️ As for my review; this is reliable place, good price, patient barbers. Been going for years. Hair looks better than ever.

Taylor Young Published on Google 1 year ago

Positive experience: Edit: Gave them another chance and Tony made it to the great experience for those used to, plus a fantastic haircut. Still don't plan on doing walk-ins but the times I can do an appointment I will. Previous review: Have been going here for years and have always done walk ins with no issues and rarely a wait longer than 15 minutes. I've been twice in the last few months and and have waited over an hour both times. The whole reason I liked this place is the schedule flexibility, and do t say walk ins welcome if you arent going to service them! Guess I'll schedule my next one but it'll be somewhere else.

Marcello Fischer Published on Google 1 year ago

Negative experience: I just walked out of this place, and it’s easily the worst haircut I’ve had in years. My barber, a man supposedly named Sue Ann? That’s who I made the reservation with online, anyway. I asked for a 0.5 fade, a skin fade in the back, and the top cut as short as possible while still allowing for a side part. What I got wasn’t even close. The top is still way too long, there’s barely any fade on the sides, and the back has no skin fade at all. When I politely pointed this out and asked the barber to fix it, he clearly got offended and just started hacking at my hair for five minutes straight. Now, I’m left with an absolute disaster. The sides, where the fade was supposed to be, are somehow longer than the uneven mess he left on top. I have a wedding to attend this weekend, and I’m furious that I have to waste time & money finding another barber to clean this up!

Tony Outsama Published on Google 1 year ago

Negative experience: This place is not what it used to be. They have been messing up my appointment with my regular technician and I ended up 2-3 times with another person. My haircuts were horrible and I ended up getting my hair cut way too short! The fade was completely messed up. I will never go back to this place and do not recommend this place to anyone else. They have been neglecting her appointment system and only one or two techs do a decent job nowadays… very disappointed with that place….

Mohammad Sakil Khan Published on Google 1 year ago

Negative experience: I’ve only cut my hair 3 time at this barber shop and usually get my hair cut by Lucy, who is always professional and friendly. However, during my last visit on feb, Lucy wasn’t available, so I had to go with another barber. Unfortunately, the experience was far from pleasant. The barber I had was extremely rude and made me feel uncomfortable with his behavior, which I perceived as racist. This was a huge disappointment, as I’ve always had great experiences here in the past. I’m sharing this in hopes that the shop will address this issue so that no other customer has to go through a similar experience.

Kamal Ouda Published on Google 1 year ago

Negative experience: Horrible place. Attitude filled guy who had no patience understanding of how my son wanted his hair. Charged us $28 for 5 mins worth of work. Left my son in tears. Never again. Be aware!

Negative experience: First time in here and it's a trash barbershop. I have to get another somewhere else because it's drastically cut unevenly. Some places on my left side is longer than my right side.

Matthew Sobbe Published on Google 1 year ago

Negative experience: Disaster. After years of growing out a full beard I went in for a trim. They basically gave me a fade and cut my almost my whole beard off. I am absolutely devastated and honestly sad. My beard was my trade mark and I spent years grooming and growing it. Now I have to start over. I was clear on what I wanted but feel that there might have been a language barrier. Could not be more unsatisfied. They even left the bottom long giving me some odd long goatee. Now I have to find a barber to correct the mistake and pay more, to have it cut shorter so it will be proportional. Would not recommend.

Danielle Arandia Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: My son has been getting his haircut with SueAnn for over a year now, since he got his first haircut with her when he was 9 months old. He’s always had a full head of hair that grows fast so we go often. She is so patient with him and always does so well! We’ve seen a couple others when SueAnn isn’t available, and they were okay but not as patient and understanding of cutting hair on a baby/toddler. Highly recommend SueAnn for your little one :) I’ve seen other comments complaining about walk in wait times, but just make an appointment online. It’s easy and I can almost always make a weekend appt a couple days out.

Kyle Dilley Published on Google 1 year ago

Negative experience: Wanted a high and tight, simple haircut. I wanted my one side cut higher due to how my hair grows and how I style it, the barber told me he couldnt do it that way. He continued to argue with me with how I wanted my hair done. Terrible customer service.

J Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Great haircuts from all the different barbers. They will take good care of you. Cash only, but ATM on site with a minimal fee.

Daniel Sommers Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: You want to get your hair cut here. Make an appointment. I moved to Alexandria a few months ago and have been to a couple of different barbers with pretty good experiences. My wife made an appointment for me with Kim to get a haircut and beard trim. The experience was incredible. She did an amazing job. I appreciated the care she took and her attention to detail. Needless to say I have found my permanent barber. If there is any question in your mind where you should get your haircut, go here. Ask for Kim. You won’t regret it. Make an appointment. If you don’t have the foresight to do that, don’t be upset if you have to wait as a walk-in.

David Boglarsky Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: The fade here is great - make sure to register for an appointment through their site. This place is cash only but offers an ATM in the lobby.

Sol Sh Published on Google 1 year ago

Negative experience: It took me days to get this service and on the top of that , right after the service , I was able to see still white ones which means that she spent more time on the surface as opposed to the root. Additionally she asked me to pay over 60 just for dyeing my beard and she was talking about something like cream that I didn't ask for . I still paid 80 with the tip though. I don't recommend this spot specially, if you are thinking of dyeing. Poor poor service .

Ryker Low Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: A very high quality hair cut for a great price. Hannah was excellent, I truly felt like she took her time and wanted everything to look and feel great. I would highly recommend it. Note: cash only, and I would advise an appointment.

kool sang Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended whose looking for men's hair cut with reasonable prices($28) ,fast and good service Recommended to call reservations so you can check in when you arrive at store

Brandon Standley Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Kim is the go-to barber here! She always takes wonderful care of my hair, is speedy, polite and very accommodating. It’s also so refreshing that after only about 2 cuts that she remembered how I liked my hair cut and could immediately launch in. She’s such a delight and this place is a gem.

Vladyslav Kaminskiy Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I read bad reviews that this place got, almost everyone has 3 problems: 1. Main problem — wait line, so please make appointment and stop complaining! 2. Only cash place, so please bring your cash and stop complaining! 3. 28$ for good haircut too expensive, I would say it still cheap for best quality. Again to expensive find better place but stop complaining! I Love this place, don’t let your emotions make them loose money, if you do everything smart you’ll get best haircut experience around DC ! Jasmine and Leo are the best !!! Never got me disappointed on my haircuts!

Anon Ymous Published on Google 2 years ago

Positive experience: +$$$$ -- VERY Sharp increase in prices for a haircut over the last year or so. What is going on?? --- I've been going to this place for nearly 6 years now. Service is good. 30 minute allotments per haircut. Appointments are usually on time, sometimes not though. They only take cash there. ATM is available, but, of course, there are fees... The prices have gone WAAY up recently in the past few months. I'm looking to find a new place soon, since they've been hiking up the price every few months it seems

NB Published on Google 2 years ago

Positive experience: tony's haircuts are great. but what's going on with the price increase? $20 to $25 to $28 in 6 months that's a 40% increase in price for the SAME service ridiculous!!

Marjorie Greenberg Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: All three of my kids have gotten excellent haircuts for several years from here. Several strong stylists. Appointments start on time and are an excellent value.

Stephanie Plankey Published on Google 2 years ago

Santiago Fernandez Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: First time at Cut and Shave and definitely going back. I looked at reviews and saw Tony’s name mentioned a bunch. He did not disappoint. He took his time and did an amazing job with my haircut.

Ryan Koesterer Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Stop reading reviews, stop searching. You've done it. You found the promise land. They can do it all and each barber is competent. I come by weekly for my military cut and it's the best deal around. Now pat yourself on the back and book that appointment

Ty Stines Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Cut & Shave is the best location in Alexandria for a cut! Make sure to book online in advance as they do get busy. They have fantastic service and excellent quality cuts. Whole staff is very welcoming. Tony provides the utmost service and care with a haircut and is incredibly friendly and fun to talk to. My highest recommendation for a barber in the area.

George Graveson Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: A great haircut with a professional who knows how to make my hairstyle perfectly. I was able to select my appointment in advance. They are the best in this area

James Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been going here for over a year now and they always do a great job. Very friendly. I strongly recommend making an appointment online as it can take a very long time as a walk in.

Amir Goudarzi Published on Google 2 years ago

Negative experience: TlL;DR loyal customer of 4 years for expensive, mediocre haircuts here. Made an appointment, got stuck in extremely terrible weather, subsequently late 8 minutes, told to wait in an extremely long queue So I have been a loyal customer to this shop for almost 4 years now and I never thought I would write a review like this, but here we are. First off I came to this shop because the prices were fair and it was at an easy location. Haircuts were alright, nothing at all to brag about. I continued going for all the reasons stated above. However, it's been hard to justify expensive, mediocre haircuts, but I was a pretty loyal customer. I get inflation has raised prices for all, but an almost 30% increase? On top of that, it's a cash only place with an ATM that tears you apart on fees. You know what kind of places accept only cash? Today was the straw the boke the camels back. I had made an appointment for today at 5 and while on my way walking to the shop, a severe thunderstorm with 60mph wind gusts led me to seek shelter until the Strom subsided. The storm didn't stop, but wanted to be respectful of the barbers time, I dredged on in the heavy rains and wind. I arrive 8 minutes late completely soaked and miserable. I was told I missed my appointment (duh) and I needed to wait in the long walk in line. To add insult to injury, I have definitely seen appointments show up extremely late 15+ minutes as well suffered because of other people's late appointments. Needless to say, customer loyalty is not their strongest suite. I will not be continue to be a patron of pricey, sub par haircuts at this location any longer

Andrew Wright Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Had a great haircut today. Service is prompt if you have an appointment. Tony my barber showed and excellent attention to detail, and I’m very satisfied with the quality. Price is very reasonable for a men’s haircut.

Carlone Langlade Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Only barbershop in Virginia ill go to. Everyone there is talented and Ms. Kim does a great job! If it's your first time, ask for Ms. Kim.

Edan Calderon Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: This was my first time there after about living through barber trial and error in Alexandria. I loved the cut and I barely waited 20 mins even though I was a walk-in on Friday. I loved the attention to detail from Tony and can’t recommend him enough. He took his time and was courteous. I’ll definitely be going back, and making appointments from now on.

Matthew Baca Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been coming for 6 plus years and always go to Lucy. She is the best. I travel from Maryland now to come get my haircut. Professionals and a truly kind with everything.

Bharath Nagesh Published on Google 2 years ago

Negative experience: I am new to the area, so I was looking for barbershops nearby. They mentioned that they accept walk-ins and there were quite a good number of reviews of them over here. So, I visited them hoping for a good haircut. I went in at 2:40PM. The place wasn't too crowded, but it was fine. There were a respectable number of stylists, so I thought I could have a haircut within the hour. But that couldn't have been further from the reality. Some of their stylists were just relaxing and waiting for customers who had taken an appointment, which is fair. But on many instances, they would sit around for 30 minutes, time which could have been utilized for attending to a walk-in customer. At 3:36PM, I got frustrated at this behavior and when I stood up, I was told to wait for 30 minutes because another customer with an appointment showed up. So, I just walked out. I'll never visit them again. As great as they may all be, making a walk-in wait for over an hour isn't efficient or nice. Oh, and I also want to mention they don't accept card, google pay or apple pay, it's all cash. It's not a major thing, but just something you might want to keep in mind.

Andy Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: A very reasonable price and they always do a good job. I have received more compliments on my hair after going here than any other shop. They also do a great job with the warm towels, eyebrow shave and razor blade cleanup in back. All the staff are nice so definitely recommended.

Bill Shaw Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Ivisited for a shave and then added afacial. The straight razor shave was fantastic and I highly recommend Mimi. She was great. Professional, funn, and knows how to give a great shave. This was my first time to get a facial so I have nothing to compare it to but it was great and relaxing. I would do it again. Overall the place was very clean, very busy and the staff was great. I will return. Thank you Mimi!

Austin Hoyle Published on Google 2 years ago

Negative experience: They say the accept walkins BUT DO NOT GO THERE WITHOUT AN APPOINTMENT. I sat there for 45 minutes while every next available barber took a scheduled appointment instead. Which is fine and totally acceptable but DONT TELL CUSTOMERS YOU ACCEPT WALKINS AND THEN MAKE THEM WAIT. Also they do not accept cash and that was not clear enough in their business. I realized after waiting to get my hair cut for 45 minutes they only accept cash and their jank atm wouldn’t let me use my credit card for a cash advance. I just walked out. I doubt anyone noticed anyway. I will literally never go here again

Edward Prejula Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Mimi has been my go-to barber, and she provides very good haircuts, detail attentive, and very considerate of her customers' needs. If you swing by, definitely ask for Mimi!

Matt Irby Published on Google 2 years ago

Negative experience: Loyal customer until today. Signed in at 10:14 and waited until 10:54 then lost my patience. It was not the longest I have waited here but after so many occurrences it does get frustrating. The haircuts have always been mediocre depending on who you get, but until recently it seemed like a convenient option. I really don't understand the business' benefit of taking appointments that show up late or not at all, only to lose other customers. I have dealt with this a few times but Im done. There are many other shops in the area that wont make you wait 45min+ without having an appointment. In my opinion a shop this busy should be first come first serve. Also almost every time I went the price increased but they still only accept cash. Needless to say I did not get the haircut.

Kyle Wood Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great Haircut! I made an appointment from hearing about reviews from walk-ins waiting too long. I'd definitely go back again and make an appointment during the week again. I'd avoid weekends or busy days if possible, from hearing about the reviews. I got a fade and beard trim.

Dean Frank Published on Google 3 years ago

Negative experience: I used to get my hair cut here all the time but the customer service is terrible now. I've made an appointments and walked in and waited over two hours in both instances while other people went before me. This last time I brought my son and watched 3 employees just sit the back for 45 minutes. One came out and sat in her chair filing her nails for at least 20 minutes. She certainly could have taken on of us in that time Then took a customer, when she was done she went and sat in the back. My wife tried to flag down one of the workers to ask if they were taking walk ins and she was just ignored. My son and I walked out, so they lost two customers today and we're never coming back.

Fantastic experience: Good haircuts, neck shave, reasonably priced. Wait times can be rather long if you don't have an appointment.

Fantastic experience: MIMI did an amazing job on my hair and trimming my beard. She is the first person to get my hair the way I actually like and it looks really good. I will definitely be coming back to get a haircut with her again.

Negative experience: I had a spectacular haircut done by Tony a couple months ago. I was a walk in. Again being a walk in, I had the impression that I would have the same experience once before. However, instead of a good experience I had a bad and miserable experience. I being a flight attendant it's difficult to make hair appointments due to the unpredictableness of flight travel. So I had no choice but to be a walk in. When I first came in, I signed in and then found a seat to begin the waiting process. All the stylists acknowledged my presence but didn't tend to me at all. 45min to hour passes and a stylist at the front then finds me only to inform me to wait another 30 mins. I left. There was no one waiting for an appointment, I was the only walk in. There's no excuse to dismiss a paying customer, I was patient and gave the benefit of the doubt when no one came to help me initially. Who does that? Make someone wait for an hour and another 30mins. Awful customer service. Terrible staff. Horrible company.

Fantastic experience: I've been coming here for a few years now. Tony is Awesome! He's extremely skilled and is one of the most pleasant people you will ever meet. I'm thankful that I found him. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Honestly the best place to get around here. Recently PCS'd a year ago and had trouble finding a spot that provides a great cut while not being over the top. The shop is straight forward and literally provides cut and shave. The employees are hard working and for the quality of cut it's totally worth it with prices soaring all over the DMV. Had a high fade with scissors on top which is my usual and they are literal artists with no frills price. If someone has moved into northern Virginia I would look no further than these guys. Just remember to book an appointment as slots fill up quick and not really walk in availability.

Negative experience: 45 minutes waiting with my son, and not even an acknowledgment until I got up to leave, then was told I was "next" if I could wait another 15 minutes. The same person told customers on the phone they would only wait about 30 minutes as a walk-in. I've been loyally supporting this business for three years, and the perception of being a valued customer has slowly declined. Even while having an appointment, I would often wait 10-20 minutes, but employees used to approach you, apologize for the delay, and made an effort to at least give the perception of being appreciative of customers' business. Today, with only one person ahead of my son and I, I watched employees walk over to the list, look at us, hear them say our names, then walk away. I'd rather be told the wait would be about an hour instead of being ignored for 45 minutes. It was disappointing. We will not be returning.

Fantastic experience: I went to the Old Town North location, and can't say enough about Van. He's attentive, goes above and beyond a "standard cut," and really enjoyed the conversation with him. It was nice to be pampered with a quick head message and beard trimming (which is separate services according to their website). I would highly recommend scheduling with, but if appeared the other barbers were great too.

Fantastic experience: Very reasonably priced, cash only. They take walk in as well which is very convenient. If you go during opening hours there aren’t that many walk ins waiting an get busy throughout the day

John Mellusi Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: If you want a great haircut at a great price go here. Regardless of who cuts my hair, I always walk out happy and stylish

Negative experience: I have been going here since moving to the area in 2022. I will not return after my most recent visit. I scheduled an appointment online. I was 5 minutes late so I expected to have to wait a little before being seen. After waiting 45 minutes I finally got someone on staff at the front desk to ask what the wait was. 5 minutes later I was in a chair and told I would be helped shortly. After waiting another 10 minutes I walked out. It is completely unacceptable to have taken multiple walk-ins when I had an appointment and waited an hour.

Negative experience: The first time I got a cut here, it was a great experience. Got called very quickly and liked the cut. My most recent experience went much differently. I came in and signed my name on the sheet, but was never called. I waited for about an hour, thinking that maybe people had set appointments ahead of time, and that they'd get to me eventually. But after seeing the 4th and 5th people walk in and get service before me, I was done waiting and left. It may help to have a receptionist to ensure everyone gets taken care of.

Ivan Morales Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Really friendly staff and lots of barbers to pick and choose from. Now being able to make reservations, I just show up 5 minutes before my appointment.

Andrew Ivovich Published on Google 3 years ago

Negative experience: Went once without an appointment. Waited a while but got a decent cut. Went a second time with an appointment and I still had to wait until past the end of my appointment time before someone even acknowledged that they were behind and tried to figure it out. This place is a train wreck of unorganized mess.

Ed Weaver Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been going to the shop on Eisenhower for 7 years now. I've NEVER had a bad experience. I have my favorite stylists, which I will not name here, but I can say that I've had my hair cut by everyone who works there and can vouch for them all.

Negative experience: 35 years & never bled at a barber shop until today. What a terrible experience. If you like your ears avoid this place

Derek Zak Published on Google 3 years ago

Negative experience: Top worse haircuts i have ever gotten. The lady rushed the cut. Had to correct her before i left in worse condition but there was only so much that could be fixed. Unless you know who is cutting your hair and youve had good experiences, going in random is like playing Russia Roulette.

Patrick Templeton Published on Google 3 years ago

Negative experience: Asked the barber to just take a little off, I have longer hair on the top and sides. He starts by taking the majority of my hair off the sides. Then gives me, somehow, a off putting mullet that I never asked for. Hella long in the back, fade on the sides. For some reason. Stay away from this place if you care ab your hair.

Positive experience: Scheduling is great, ATM inside for cash only business, they move quickly and are well priced. Sometimes they don't cut exactly how you want but every cut is clean. Great job with kids as well

Raymond MacDonald Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I hesitated and went somewhere else first. My mistake. Jimmy did a great job and I will make reservations and return in a few weeks. Well done! Much appreciated!

Aaron P Published on Google 3 years ago

Positive experience: This is my go-to barber shop! Highly recommend, especially if you live in the area. Decent pricing for a quality haircut and post-haircut shave with a straight blade razor. Only downside is that you must pay with cash, which is a minor inconvenience if you don’t carry much cash on you. Otherwise, everything else about this place is great

Tyler Begeman Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been living in the area for a little over a year now. Cut and Shave was the first barber shop I went to and I haven’t been anywhere else since. Jasmine is my go to barber to the point where I’ll refuse to get a haircut on vacation and wait until I get home. The prices are great and the quality is outstanding! The staff is always so friendly and I look forward to going every month!

Ian Shepard Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great cut and shave as well as outstanding customer service. I highly recommend! Just remember to bring cash as it is cash only.

Mukesh Kondeti Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: A very good place to get a haircut. I loved their attention to details. Price is super cheap too. I definitely recommend going to this place for a haircut.

Negative experience: Hair cutt was horrible, rushed and didn’t even give me what i asked for. worst haircut ever received. i told him 3 times how i wanted my hair cutt and he still gave me a bad haircut do not recommend coming here at all. In conclusion this place is utterly horrible and a absolute waste of money. i’ve been to more worse located areas then this and at least they gave me a better haircut than a more openly located barber like this.

Negative experience: The haircuts are o-kay at this location but my main gripe is the pricing system. Who doesn't accept digital payments in 2022? You could use square for crying out loud. It's really annoying to have to withdraw money from the ATM for a cut, knowing that if you charge $20 I'm going to have to withdraw $40 from the ATM so I can tip. Please catch up to the times and use digital payment, it would increase your business and not feel so scummy.

Fantastic experience: They are always welcoming and know what they are doing. With the amount of business they get to know their regulars quick. I suggest making a reservation during weekends and lunch times. It’s a good sign to have a babershop with a wait

Olivier W. Garnowski Published on Google 4 years ago

Negative experience: I am costumer in this location for over 4 years now. I recently call at 10 am to find out if I can walk in and get a haircut as soon as possible and was informed YES you definitely can. I have to wait an hour and half to get service. Day before I walked in and ask for a specific person and then I was mislead with his schedule. Costumer service and information get really low. Is not that hard to figure it out flow when you have 7 people waiting for haircut plus, schedule appointments. Usually I am satisfied with Leo's service, but this time, he took time off, and I didn't have a good experience at all this time.

Peter Gandl Published on Google 4 years ago

Positive experience: Compared to the other store, this one has the charme of a dental hygienist. With all this sectioned off areas. The personal touch and warmth is missing. The receptionist doesn't seem to give you his full attention. My haircut with one of the guys was ok, he didn't check the cut as thoroughly as I get when going to Le from the other store.
