Cut & Shave Barbershop

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
