Came to Dot for a surgical cut. My line was extremely messed up due to an inexperienced barber. Dot to the rescue! They fixed my line and the whole experience was nothing but good. I was in a big dilemma cause I have a wedding but I was able to get it fixed ONLY because of Dot. I would highly recommend this place!

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.

I cannot endorse Dot enough. Since late 2022 I have been getting my hair styled from them. They provide the best service and options in Richmond. At this point, I wouldn't let anyone else touch my hair.

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