    Refuge for Men offers a truly one-of-a-kind barbershop experience. The semi-private space makes the whole appointment feel personal and unrushed. Dot was incredibly professional and welcoming. I asked for advice on what to do with my haircut, and their recommendation turned out perfect.

    The space itself is stunning. Thoughtfully curated artwork, great music, and an overall vibe that made me feel comfortable and taken care of. I left not only happy with my haircut, but also with styling tips that actually work for me.

    Highly recommend if you’re looking for a more personalized, artistic, and affirming barber experience in Richmond.

    You want a fantastic hairstyle, and experience- go see Dot.
