I was looking to get a haircut before heading out to a wedding in LA and found Lightheaded Studio while researching some places. I usually go to Asian hair salons for a quick and easy cut but I wanted to find someone that could do an actual fade this time around. Set up an appointment online and came in.

I have been coming here for the past year getting multiple different hair cuts and I can report that Emerson is a very high quality barber.

I have been coming to Lightheaded since I moved to the Richmond a couple years back and it has always been a great experience! The barbershop itself is very spacious and accommodating, with a comfy couch if you come early. The appointment booking process is online and relatively painless. I have curly hair (2C/3A) and have been burned before by barbers who don’t know how to deal with the cowlicks etc, but Emerson has never let me down. He has good suggestions for when I want to try out something new, and his fades and tapers are hella clean. And best of all, he has very reasonable prices…can’t recommend this place enough!
