Puglisi Hair Cuts is a reliable and affordable spot for a great haircut. The skilled barbers, with decades of experience, deliver high-quality cuts that meet customers' expectations. Prices are reasonable, with haircuts starting at $35 cash only. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming, with TVs playing in the background. Although there are stairs to access the front door, the barber shop is a great option for those in the NW quadrant looking for a professional and consistent haircut.
Best barbers in DC. For the price, the quality and attention to detail is unbeatable. I have been going here for a decade now, and am still surprised when people don't know about Puglisi.
I have a favorite barber, but have gotten haircuts from practically all of them, and they've all been excellent.
Even if you have a favorite spot in DC, I would recommend making an effort to go to Puglisi. It's cash only and there are ATMs nearby.

This is the best place. The barbers are incredibly skilled and personable. Amazingly, they haven't raised their prices since I was at GW, and a cut is still only $40. Thrilled that they have maintained their quality.

So glad I found this place. It reminds me of a NYC barbershop, where there used to be one in every neighborhood. I believe Alex was my barber and I got a great scissor cut. They can handle all styles expertly. Remember to bring cash; no credit cards taken.
