Rosslyn Barbershop

This barbershop is OK, and I have been coming here for a while. Most of the barbers are Vietnamese and all very friendly. The manager and assistant manager are by far the best at what they do, but they are busy which makes your wait time longer if you request them.
The barbers do spend more time than normal to make sure your haircut is perfect. Another note is that they don’t really understand the numbers on the clips. At Supercuts, they know what 3 ¾ means, but here when I asked they weren’t really sure and may not even have that length. Eventually I just ask for a 3, but the metal clip they end of using says 3 ½ which is why I believe they are somewhat confused .
They did mess up my haircut once though. I had a guy who seemed to know what he was doing and spent a long time cutting my hair, which btw is not difficult at all (usually other places take 10 minutes to cut), but basically didn’t shave/​cut both sides evenly. I had to come back in and Tina fixed it as much as she could.
Overall for the price and the distance from my apartment, it’s a decent barbershop that gets the job done.

Came back today for a quick trim with Serenity on my way to work. I was very picky about what I wanted. Serenity listened and adjusted my haircut like a true professional. She not only did exactly what I was looking for, but she was a pleasure to talk to. I highly recommend her!

I have been going to Rosslyn Barbershop for close to ten years now! For a single guy, this place was great! The barbershop is very conveniently located right off of the metro. When I worked in DC, I used to stop in on the way home (I live a few blocks away). There was little to no wait then! I now go on Saturday mornings. It can get crowded on Saturday mornings now that word has gotten out, and with the construction of new apartment buildings near by.
For the most part they are extremely consistent with their haircuts. That is if you get one of the barbers that has been there for several years. They used to allow appointments, but I think they did away with them at one point, but you can still wait for a specific barber if you so choose. They make everyone take a number when you walk in, so its first come first served. If you get a newer barber, there is a chance that they may not know how to do certain things, like trim a cowlick. I was the bad end of this a few months back where one of the new guys literally took the razor and cut the cowlick out. I was left with a semi bald spot. There is a sign up stating that they will fix haircuts within 24 hours, but seriously, how the heck do you fix a bald spot? I just combed over it and let it grow out. I seriously considering not coming back after this as my fiancée was extremely unhappy. With that said, if you are coming here for a haircut before a special event, if you do not get one of the regulars, dont bother, its not worth the risk in getting a cut that is weird.
I also have to second the reviewer that mentioned issues with facial hair. You have to be explicit and tell them to connect the beard. Ive been on that receiving end of this as well, but learned pretty quickly that you have to tell them up front to the point where you have to make eye contact and tell them to not touch the beard, at all. They seem to have acknowledged this and actually asked me the last time and Tina made sure that the new barber next to her knew to ask before cutting.
I will still come here in the future, as long as I am still living close by.

This is a good place for a standard make haircut. Do not expect anything fancy or custom for your face shape or hair texture. I asked for a faux hawk and the lady cutting my hair said «it’s very easy». This to me is a red flag. If you aren’t going to put effort into cutting my hair, I am likely going to end up with something poorly done. Another thing that pissed me off was that the lady buzzed my side burns without asking me, just like another reviewer mentioned.
Go here if you want something basic like a slope. Go elsewhere if you want an actual hair stylist. I’m still looking for a good one in this area so if you have any suggestions, PM me.

Tina cut my hair today. She’s very nice, efficient, and the service was excellent. My haircut was great. Would definitely go back.

Found my new barber shop. Great haircut with a straight razor shave of neck and edges. Tina was very nice as were the other barbers. I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a no-​frills cut. Tina won’t disappoint!

I’m a student at Georgetown and this place is wayy better priced than any of the pretentious places nearby. Also, it’s just BETTER. I saw Tina, who was super fast and efficient, and even when I asked her to make everything a little shorter when she was almost done, she gladly did it. Go to here. Do it. Just go.

I highly recommend this barber shop. The staff there are very friendly. Tina, who is the assistant manager did a really excellent job with my haircut. I asked for a skin fade with a #2 clip on the top and she knew exactly what I wanted. If you are new in town, like I am, this barber shop is the place to go. The price is very reasonable!

Tina usually cuts my hair. I had the same style haircut for years but she helped me come up with a new style that was professional and clean. Very professional and clean. Linda occasionally cuts my hair and is fantastic.
Tina actually remembers my name and my haircut so I just walk in and she works her magic. Great service!

Be careful if you get your hair cut short and you have a beard. I went here once before Thanksgiving and received a good haircut. I just returned because it had been 9 weeks and I was well overdue for a follow up. I got my hair cut short again, and the haircut itself was fine.
My issue is the barber that cut my hair (I don’t remember her name, but it began with K and I was in seat 6) trimmed my sideburns close to the skin, all the way down to my jaw. She didn’t ask, she just did it. Now I have really short sideburns that abruptly meet longer beard hair. It does not look good under any circumstances, least of all for someone who has to look somewhat professional.
The last thing I want to do is trim the rest of the beard down to match the sideburn length I didn’t ask for and then wait another 6 weeks for my beard to fill back in. Seriously, that’s how short she trimmed it. I’ve had a beard for well over a year and I shouldn’t have to get rid of it just because someone made a decision without asking a simple question.
Regardless, now I have to trim the beard to lessen the how badly the lengths don’t match to try and fix the mistake, then wait at least another 3 weeks for my hair to grow before it can look like it’s close to the same length.
When she started trimming my beard, I made it known I didn’t want her to. I shouldn’t have to say that up front. She said it would still be connected. Yea, it’s still connected, but it looks terrible.
When I looked in the mirror after the haircut, I was focusing about halfway down my ear to see how abrupt the length difference was. Had I looked further down, I would have noticed how she completely messed up and wouldn’t have overtipped like I did.
Unacceptable.

Best Hair Cut place around because so conveniently located in Rosslyn metro stop. I get my haircut here every time (every month or so) after cutting at many different barbershops in the DMV and not being satisfied, despite higher prices. Tina cuts my hair, but they are all very good, kind, and professional! You will not be disappointed because they GUARANTEE you will like it with an amazing 3 day policy, but I’m always satisfied the first time around! 5 Stars for sure! I refer all my classmates and friends as well!

Slightly on the expensive side, but worth it because of the quality of the haircut and convenience of the location.

I’ve been coming to this barbershop since I moved to the area over a year ago. I would give this place 5 stars, however, it gets 4 because a few of the haircutters are not great. I would say most of the barbers there give consistently sharp haircuts. For example, you can’t go wrong with the older women in the front or the barbers in the stations to the left of the entrance. I continue to come back because this place offers high overall quality, $ 18 haircuts, and minimal wait times.

Tina is the bomb… She is very friendly and gives a great haircut in about 15 minutes. She actually remembered my name the second and third time I came back.
It is also almost unheard of to get a good haircut for the traditional barbershop price of $ 18.
You get five star

You don’t appreciate a good haircut until you’ve had a bad one.
After more than few bad haircuts, I find this barbershop nestled above the Rosslyn Metro Station, which provides the best, most consistent haircuts in DC. Although I have access to barbershops closer to where I live/​work, I always choose instead to make the trek to Rosslyn to get my hair cut here. You can’t go wrong with any of the barbers (who are always upbeat and professional), and they can give you a clean, professional cut for around $ 18. No appointments — it’s walk-​in only, but I’ve never waited longer than ten minutes, and most of the time there isn’t any wait at all.
Gentleman, do yourself a favor and come here for your professional adult cuts. No more bad haircuts from Hair Cuttery/​Supercuts.

No.
$ 10 shape up. But no. Absolutely not.
They mean well. But so do I and I don’t attempt to shape you up.
They’re really nice but I wouldn’t let them touch my hair again if it could save my life.

My husband and my 5 year old have been coming here for almost three years. They are always nice and do a great job cutting mens hair. It’s a hot spot because its always busy especially on Saturdays and lunch time. However, we’ve never had to wait a long time because they have about ⁶⁄₇ barbers/​stylists working at the same time. The good thing is that they all are great… so it doesn’t matter who you get!

I have been coming to this Barbershop for almost 7 years now. I even recommended it to my military/​civilian friends and we are satisfy with the service. The barbershop is clean and the staff is friendly. They are super busy from 4pm to closing so I suggest coming a bit early. I am not surprise that some people like me will wait for 30 minutes. The price and quality of haircut you get is worth waiting. I told the owner of the barbershop, if my agency moves me, I will move the entire barber shop with me.

It is the worst form of male vanity for a guy to spend $ 100 on a haircut. Given that an average male haircut takes about 20 minutes and happens about once a month, it just doesn’t make economic sense.
In scouring the city for practical haircuts, I stumbled upon this place while working in Rosslyn. It’s convenient location (on the top floor of the horrible mall right above the Rosslyn metro station) contributes to the appeal. But the service is what I return for. Everyone is extremely friendly and helpful. Even when the shop is full of people I never have to wait very long. But most of all, everyone is skillful and detailed. There are some places where one barber makes you look like a million bucks and another barber makes you look like a bird of paradise landed on your head and died. This is not that place.
Since I like to get my haircut twice a month, this $ 17 cut really ends up saving me a ton of money, which I can in turn waste elsewhere. Yay! I’m a fan.

This place gets the job done, and was my go-​to for a while. The barbers are very detail oriented, but sometimes they take way too much time to make things look good; I’m all for perfectionism, but does it really take 20 minutes (literally) to do the back of my neck? It seems like they have military folks rolling through there a lot, so that’s probably why they are so painstaking in every detail.
The reason this place only gets 3 stars from me is that I found if I went in the afternoon/​evening, they were more prone to make mistakes with my hair (leaving patches longer than they should be, etc). These people work hard, so it’s understandable that they slow down at the end of the day, but after it happened twice I had to find somewhere else. You should give them a fair try, though… go in the morning or early afternoon to get a good haircut.
