Terrible experience. I showed "Mark" clear photos of the haircut I wanted for my 7 year old son, and he nodded that he understood. Instead, he butchered my sons hair, taking random chunks and then had the nerve to blame me for it (because I asked for 1/2 an inch of the top?). When I politely asked him to please try to fix the mistakes he was combative and rude, all while angrily muttering under his breath in a different language. I had to plead with him just to clean up the fade and put some product in to make it look slightly better. Completely unprofessional and careless -- avoid this place at all costs. read more

I have been getting my haircut here from Mr. Mark for several times now after trying lots of barber shops in the area. As mentioned by others, He is very detail oriented and produce professional looking cuts. A great vibe too. (Private and Quiet, for barbers). For me, the online booking system is awesome because they text you reminders and i could always reschedule from the phone. read more

Barber Lounge - Hours - Barbers Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

Hands down the best haircut and beard trim that I have ever received in D.C. area. I have experienced many, and this is the first time I have been motivated to writr an onlind review. I was fortunate to discover Sarah, a master barber in every respect, a barber with a refined blend of old school craft and modern style, superbly skillful at her craft, who consults with her client at multiple stages of the cut/trim to ensure an optimal product and peak satisfaction. + Online Appointment page was easiest to use with no signups required. read more

Sarah and Mark are both wonderful. They've both worked on me and I've been pleased every time. My go-to is Sarah and she has helped me navigate both men's short hair styles and long styles. She also makes sure I'm super comfortable every time and uses a warm towel which is nice. I love going here! read more

Recently got a haircut, wash and shave here. Pretty straightforward, nothing special requested. Give me a trim and a fade on the sides. What I needed up getting, for $65, was a haircut that's uneven and shave where they missed several spots. My hair is significantly longer in the middle, or top as it is upfront so styling is a headache, and my face is broken out due to what I presume is not clean equipment. I regularly shave at home and have zero bumps, or breakouts. I'm super, SUPER, disappointed by this place. A, the quality was just bad, for something so basic, and B, the price is completely unjustified. Now, sort of on me for not checking beforehand but still, I can go to a premium salon and spend less for a men's styled cut and wash. I feel like a total dummy for leaving a $10 tip. read more

Know Mark and Sarah for more than 10 years. Service always been excellent. I even don't have to say how i like my hair cut ,Mark knows exactly what i want. Thank you for your great service read more

Very bad service and staff , super expensive, not professional I don't recommend Don't go there you'll end up paying 40$ for regular hear cut read more

My 14 yo son used this salon several times over the last two years. It was a shock today when he was told, after having been seated in the barber chair, to go to a woman's salon rather than sit there for the cut we had scheduled and then cancelled the appointment. Very unprofessional. read more

Great barber shop. I bounced around from one place to another until I found Mark and the Barber Lounge. He does a great job every time for a great price. Easy booking online generally gets me in same day with a guaranteed time. No need to worry about walking in. I'm actually sitting in the plush recliner in the waiting area now waiting for him to cut my hair. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Looking for a go to barber? This is the place to go! read more

I was a walk in with no appointment on a busy Saturday. The staff was more than accommodating and happy to help a first time customer. My barber, Sarah, was polite and very knowledgeable about the style I wanted (fade on sides w/ scissors on top). She finished the haircut quickly and certainly met my expectations. I will definitely be a returning customer. My second trip was another walk in and the Manager of the shop cut my hair. The attention to detail was impeccable. Highly reccomend. read more

THE WORST SERVICE I HAVE EVER SEEN!!! They cost you 25$ for hair-cut which is very expensive for their service. Their service is not even worth of quarter of the total. The stylist( i guess his name is MARK) is not able to listen to the customer at all and in return he said that he is a professional and asked me not to worry. But how can I stay calm when he is trying to spoil my hair with his over confidence. I would never visit this place again. I would have given 0 star if there is an option. read more

This place is awesome. Super nice and clean setup. Disposable masks provided and all the tools seemed heavily sanitized for each clients. Very safe environment for all. read more

Terrible place. Guy cutting my hair couldn't speak English and when I told him to stop cutting, he said "it's ok, it's ok" and kept on cutting it. Now I just lost an inch of hair that I spent months growing. Not worth it. EDIT: Just when I thought this place couldn't get worse, the owner comes out and essentially calls me a liar. Not sure what my incentive would be to make something up about my experience here but either way, I will definitely be avoiding this joint in the future. read more

Barber Lounge is an upscale barber shop mainly targeted at men. I usually go to the Barber Shop in Herndon, and have found them to be mostly reliable. This place, however, is just a notch above the Barber Shop and the other places focused on men. They have a "master barber" on site. I've honestly not heard that term before, but it must mean something good. The other 3 barbers are apparently not masters yet, but the guy I got my basic cut from did a good job and paid attention to detail. He even used a straight razor on my neck. Very classy. I should also mention he gave me a halfway decent neck massage afterwards. I haven't gotten that from anyone state-side ever. Pricing-wise, they are competitive. $18 for a basic cut, $23 for anything fancy. They use a Square-type service for payment, so you don't have to have cash, even for your tip. Their other services include hot towel service and shave. They have a modern decor that anyone can appreciate. Nice place. I'm glad they're around. Will definitely return. read more

I love the Barber Lounge! The guy in chair #6 cuts my hair, my son's hair and my father's hair. Three generations looking good when we step out of the shop! read more

I was searching for a new barber as my old one left unannounced and the other barbers there were below satisfactory, sometimes leaving cut hair on my face and head. I found Barber Lounge using Yelp! and all the reviews are spot on. This place is great! Sarah cut my hair and I was most impressed by not only the time she took to brush cut hair off my head, face and neck while she was cutting my hair, but also took the time to ensure the back of my high fade was done properly. time and time again, when trying new barbers, they always leave the top back of my head uneven. After my cut, I spoke more w the owners and they were really proud of the fact they don't reuse combs or razors and everything is sanitized. I never really thought about the importance of that before today, but can totally get behind sanitation! They are a little more for a haircut than I normally pay, but I will happily pay more for the full service they provide. I have found my new barber. read more

Great haircut. Great price. And an incredible ambiance. I used to go to Bubble's in Reston, but after the 4th different person in 12 months and a bad haircut I had to find a new place. These guys are top notch, nice little TV at each station and minimal talking, which I appreciate. Above all just a really good haircut, even for a guy who normal thinks that "Barber Shop" stylists aren't very good - this was very, very good. Highly recommend. - Jason read more

Hi Mark, You just cut my hair like 20mins ago. to be honest i was okay with the horrible hair cut. but when you walked to me the register and showed me that my $24 hair cut is now $42 shit Mark. you charged me an extra $18 for a beard trim and there was no trimming done it still looks the same, you didnt even give me FADE or a shape-up like i asked. oh you should change the name to HAIR Cuttery becuase you are far farrrrrr away from ever being a barber shop. thanks again for the worst expensive hair cut ever. just another Asian sweat shop! read more

Very clean, good music, and simple appointment system (always on time for my appointment so no wasted time). Been coming here for some months now and I am very pleased with the services so far. read more

There are quite a few places in the Reston- Herndon Fairfax area for a haircut and there are also many places that offer a high end experience with a precision haircut and quality products. The Barber Lounge does it all and it does it at a reasonable price. I have had several haircuts with this location and they al have been very good. This past weekend I opted for their grooming package which includes a haircut as well as a straight razor shave. I am very, very glad I decided to pony up the additional $$- it was worth every penny. Ask for Sarah but if she isn't available - everyone has done well by me. read more

Just moved to the Reston area and experienced the anxiety of choosing a new barber. This is the first time visiting and I will certainly continue. The barber, Jason, immediately understood my desired hairstyle and was absolutely meticulous in ensuring my haircut and overall experience was excellent. Would recommend to friends and other residents to the Reston Herndon area. read more

I was in town for a few days due to work and needed to get in a haircut before the big meetings. First off, the online reservation website was easy to navigate and I found plenty of convenient times to reserve on a Sunday. When I got to the Barber Lounge the next day, I was immediately greeted and my appointment was quickly confirmed, resulting in the barber seating me within a minute. He was an older Asian American man with glasses. After a quick question or two about my haircut preference, he got right to work with a very methodical and precise manner of cutting, trimming, checking, and brushing. The straight blade shave and hot towel treatment was very nice! When it was all said and done, I had been in the chair for nearly 30 minutes, but it felt like 10-15 minutes. Quick disclaimer: my barber was not very chatty. In fact, he hardly said a word during the entire haircut except to check my thoughts on how it looked near the end. But, that was okay with me since it enabled me to focus on the TV screen which had an international soccer game on (TVs are at every barber's station). I was very pleased with the haircut and will definitely return when I'm in the area again! read more

A very nice and clean environment. Barbers do not listen (even when shown pictures) when provided instructions for a specific style. I won't be returning. read more

I have been coming here for over a year. Great clean barber shop for the entire family. Nancy is the best but everyone cuts well here as well. I even brought my son in for his first haircut and they turned cartoons on the tv for him. Usually they gave sports on which is great also! The prices are very decent and the get the beck area with a fresh blade for a clean cut. read more

I have used Barber Lounge twice for both haircuts and beard shape-up and both times I can honestly say they provided the best haircuts I've ever had. This is far and away superior to anything other discount styling places might offer. The highlight for me is the real shave of my neck after the haircut is finished. Many places inly use clippers to trim the neck, but here you get warm shave cream and a straight razor to help you look your best. After the beard trim, they apply beard oils to leave your face smelling and feeling wonderful. The prices are very competitive and only a few dollars more than what you would expect to pay at one of those discount places that just give a quick buzz with clippers. The staff is very friendly and make you feel welcomed. The shop is kept orderly and clean, and you'll leave there looking and feeling like a million bucks: men's grooming the way it was meant to be. read more

First time customer. I'm so glad I found the Barber Lounge, probably one of the best Barber experience I've had. Mark is awesome, listened to what I wanted and delivered amazing results- I'm defintietly coming back as a full time customer Other positive attributes: (1) I actually like the fact you can book an appt. online very easily vs. going to the typical barber shop and waiting (2) Clean razor for each customer; should be a standard at other place but it is not...here it is (3) Design of the the shop is really nice (4) Prices are good read more

My barber was Sarah and she messed up my beard even after showing a picture in the beginning. Ended up having to pretty much shave it off.

I was looking up places for my fiancé to get his hair cut and kept coming back to this place - he's already been back twice specifically to get his hair cut here. Really efficient online appointment service - love this feature! When we went, it was rather empty so you can still come early to get treated earlier, too. As this is a men's barber shop, it's efficient, no frills, while still coming off as slightly luxurious for a good price - there's personal tvs in every booth, as well as specific options for how you'd like your hair done (plus single use razors!) Service is also great to those waiting - I was asked about refreshments and if I needed anything else. I know my fiancé has quips about getting his hair done in hair salons that are primarily catered towards women (his haircuts are usually hit or miss), but they've always been consistent here and he always makes a point to visit when we're in the area. read more

I've been coming here for last couple of years and it's great. Mark and his wife are extremely nice and accommodating. The online appointment scheduling is easy to use. Mark is very detailed and skilled. Would recommend this place to anyone! read more

I've been getting haircuts by Mark for several years now, and he always does a great job. I like having appointments, which means no waiting. My hair is curly and many barbers struggle with cutting it evenly, but I never have to worry about the outcome at Barber Lounge. read more

I've been to dozens of salons in major metropolitan areas around the country, and I have to say this is the best haircut I have ever received. Mark is meticulous, covering every square centimeter of hair in detail. I have never seen a technique like his, and it has to be exhausting. They have a really efficient scheduling system. He undercharges, to be honest. read more

My dad and I each got Father's Day shaves this morning- Sarah did a great job. Its absolutely not a fast process (and you would not want it to be with a straight edge on your neck). Very relaxing. She took her time and was very detailed. She made she she knew what we wanted first. They must apply 10 different rubs, lotions and tonics. The place is nice- I would not go without an appointment- that was the first thing they asked for- but you can make it online easily. Its a little pricey- but for a once in a while treat, it was great and we'll absolutely be back. read more

Excellent haircut. Also quick service with attention to detail. Best barber in Herndon!

Pathetic Service. Mark, the director is a rude guy. Charged me 25 $ but not even worth for 10$. Will never recommend this place to anyone. read more

Not happy with the haircut I received. I don't think he understood what I asked him to do, because he sure didn't do it. Spent $45 on a haircut that I can't wait to grow out of. I will not return. read more

I am pretty particular about my hair, and Mark has been doing a great job. I know exactly what I want and the correct terminology, and he is able to execute. I also like that they take appointments. read more

I went to this barber for the first time looking at the overall review was pretty good. However not what u expect, the cost is way overpriced and the service is rushed. Cost $30 + tip for decent haircut... read more

I come here all the time. Today I had an appointment for 4:30. Been sitting here since 4:05. Took a guy in front of me without an appointment and another who was 20 min late for his. Now I'm the guy who has the wait- the one who made an appointment and showed up in plenty of time for it. Unimpressed read more

I visited the Barber Lounge a few days ago to get a haircut from Mark. Because of the Pandemic, I delayed getting a haircut for nearly 5 months and I was reluctant to venture out. I checked out the reviews and how the Barber Lounge was handling customer and employee safety and I was satisfied with what was being done. I couldn't be more pleased with my experience with the Barber Lounge. Mark cut my hair perfectly and I was very pleased with the cleanliness and extra steps he took to ensure safety, from coverings, sanitizing between customers, face masks, eye shields, chair coverings, and other steps. Because of Covid-19, it is important for consumers to be safe and the Barber Lounge is taking steps above and beyond to ensure customer safety. Mark is a true professional master barber and their facility is comfortable, clean, safe and inviting. I highly recommend Barber Lounge. read more

I'm very impressed with the service at this place almost upto perfection.Really impressed. Hair cutting is also done precision and detailing and with respect to the art of hair styling Very Impressive read more
