Best Barber Shops In Washington

“I got my hair toned here twice, and they did a lovely job both times! They saved my formula from my first visit in October of 2024, which made getting the right color very convenient. The staff are all very nice, and welcoming. I would definitely recommend!“

“One of the best barbershops in DC, if not THE best. The experience is unbeatable. I’ve been coming for years and Lesley always gets me right. I moved from the area & still continued to support. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a place with friendly, professional, and inclusive service. Or if you (like me) were tired of places with bad vibes. Black woman owned & operated is the way to gooo.“

“I don’t usually leave reviews on here but this place has earned every star. They are incredibly nice, professional, and skilled for a solid price. Will be returning again soon.“

“Calvin fit me in last minute off a walk-in to fix a cut that another shop did. First time client at Kindred. Only took a few minutes but he didn’t even charge for the fix. Will be back.“

“I got a temp fade from Mark and he did an excellent job. What really stood out though was the atmosphere, it took me back to being a kid when my father would take me to the barbershop. The conversations, the laughs, the sports talk… it felt genuine. That kind of environment is rare now. Great experience all around.“

“Best haircut I’ve ever gotten. Amazing customer service, amazing value, and amazing people. I’ve had Tina & Minh cut my hair so far and they’ve done an excellent job“

“Peter is fantastic. Great haircut, great goatee trim, and very reasonable prices. He’s friendly, conversational, and takes real pride in his work. I always leave looking sharp and feeling better than when I walked in. Highly recommend. You will not be disappointed.“

“First time in Washington DC, and I was looking for a good barber. May was so nice and gave me the best haircut I have ever had. No machine, old-school scissors! I recommend this place and especially May to everyone who is looking for a nice haircut.“

“Dr lee is not just a barber he’s a surgeon, i went in looking like donald glover and came out as damson idris. Feel like i just had a whole surgery.“

“First Class services right from the time you enter the door. It is the perfect place to get top notch services and skin care.“

“Youssef saved me! I needed to have a haircut fixed, and he did a great job cleaning it up in no time. I felt well taken care of and relieved. I'll definitely be back.“

“Greg is my go-to barber in DC. He does great work and plays good music while you're in the chair.“

“I walked in for a haircut at Cuts and Blends by Hugo and was lucky enough to get a cut by the man himself, Hugo. His barbershop was very clean, calm music was playing in the background, and it was a very convenient location. I got a high skin fade and a light trim on the top, and Hugo gave me one of the best haircuts I’ve ever had. He is very friendly, professional, and generous. I will be sure to come back when I visit DC in the future!“

“After years of trying to explain my desired hairstyle to stylists across the river in Alexandria, Michael gave me the cut I've been searching to find! Great cut, great guy, and I'll be back to get styled by him for as long as I live in this area. Thanks!“

“Where should I begin….like from the upstairs “check in exclusivity” to the hostess down the winding stairs greeting our party with the most infectious smile, I knew we were in for a culture treat. From the ambiance to the award winning hip-hop playlist this place did not disappoint. I ordered the guava mimosa 4x which was yummy and the short rib burger was beyond delicious! My homegirl ordered the truffle chicken sandwich that had remnants of a Michelin star chef, with the seasoned potato wedges being a crowd pleaser for everyone at the table (it was four of us)! All in all, this place will now be on our brunch rotation for experiences meant to leave you feeling good and well fed.“

“My Hero! Traveling from out of town for a big work meeting and took a chunk out of my mustache the night before, was panicking all day. Got me sorted with 2 minutes of steady hands. I’ll be back for a proper cut next time i come to town.“

“Batsheba is amazing!! We were visiting from Miami and wanted a haircut for my kids. We were so fortunate to find Batsheba. My kids were so happy that they want to come back for their next hair cut (Haha). Thank you Batsheba. They are finally ready for school with a great hair cut.“

“Candace is the best. I’ve followed her from shop to shop for around 10 years, and will continue to do so!“

“I’ve been going to Watergate since 2013 for a reason. All the guys are great and my barber Lucas always gets me right every time.“

“KD Cuts never disappoints. Came back to my hometown for a few weeks and had to let my DC barber hook me up. Easy booking, professional and know surprise fees. Everything is stated on the website. My haircut and beard was fire🔥a master barber. Highly recommend KD Cuts!!!!!“

“Brailyn did a great job! Fastest haircut I ever got. I asked for layers and got exactly that. And lots of it! I love the way he styled my hair too. It looks really good. Very elegant somehow. Smoothest haircut experience. Reasonably priced

Requested style: U or v shape with layers and face framing, side parted

Hair type: Slightly wavy hair, thick

Stylist: Brailyn did a fantastic job“

“I have met one of the most professional barber, in my life. Called him concerning a Veteran in need. He changed his schedule to come to the Hospital and help out strangers. Patient Veteran was made a new man with his cutting skills.“

“Awesome experience! I hadn’t had my haircut in over a year. My hair was down past my waist and in bad need of a good trim. Carlos (Los) took care of me and did a great job at a very reasonable price. He even offered to help me correct my bad at home coloring job that makes me look kind of like a giraffe, so I’ll be going back for that. The shop has the best vibe. Don’t get stuck in the idea that barber shops are just for men.“

“Excellent hair stylist and I have been coming to this place almost 22 years….😇“

“PJ’s is a One Stop Shop! If you need a barber, ask for “Free.” He will hook you up with whatever cut you want. If you don’t know what you want, he will help you figure it out. If you want your hair permed, colored, braided, twisted and more, ask for Ms. Pat (the owner). Bring the whole family. You will be VERY PLEASED with the service!“
