I am bit older…read morenow and need more from my stylist visit than sitting on a human assembly line waiting for my name or nonchalant wave calling me for interrupted service, and less than calming environment after a long week at work. It's not bad, I just wanted, No, needed something better. Walking into DC Homme, I realized it would be like no other barbershop experience. Keyword: Experience. The grooming lounge (2 floors) is extraordinary with the historic memorabilia and art hanging on rich, dark brown - mahogany wood walls, you'd expect in a stately law firm. There are grooming samples at the front door, a men's clothing shop, and other services all under one roof (Brian gave me a tour). The mood, music, comfy couch/chairs, and wall mounted flat screen TVs made you feel like you were stepping into a major city salon with all the comforts of home. I was Brian's guest (not customer) and it felt like it. Brian focuses his attention on your grooming, conversation, and nothing else. His approach is methodical without being mechanical. You can tell he thought out every detail of your cut, asks the right questions, and engages you in light, meaningful conversation that helps you connect, which is important between a man and his stylist. Your hair cut looks great, after the highly anticipated flourish to every haircut with an essential oil (can't tell all the details - you have to try it for yourself - it's amazing). You leave feeling like someone took the time to provide you more than a hair cut - DC Homme gives you an experience, which is worth the $35 - $40. Yes, I could go back to paying $27 for a hair cut, but I have more appreciation for finer things in life such as the high degree of professionalism, atmosphere, conversation, and genuine care Brian and his colleagues put into their guest's experience that's definitely worth the $8 - 15 difference (Exceptional Experience Fee). Why would I go anywhere else? And, if you are man - neither should you.

I called…read moreThursday after reading reviews on yelp and google and was confident that someone would be able to give me a good if not great cut. Chad was that guy...or so I thought. I made a 9 am appointment asked for the price and explained that my sons football game was t 10 am and that I had to leave at 10 to make it to Silver spring and not miss much. Fast forward to Saturday. I arrived at 8:55 and asked for Chad. They said he wasn't there to take a seat and he would be here soon. 9:15 no Show, 9:30 no show, 9:45 now show, and finally at 9:55 he strolls in and doesn't come and get me from the waiting area. He put on his smock and stood around like he didn't show up almost an hour late. I walked up and said I'm your 9:00 appointment. He mumbles a quaint "my bad!" I show him what I want and he gets me out in 30 minutes. I missed the whole 1st half of my sons game and he was not a happy camper. The only reason I chose to stay is that I had my 20 year Hs reunion in NJ and my Christmas Photoshoot that afternoon. I was stuck between a rock and a hard place and that made me feel very uncomfortable and unappreciated as a new customer. I definitely paid for the reservation, but I wasn't willing to haggle. I was already livid and late. Next time you make an appointment be on time. The haircut was decent maybe a 7.5 out of 10, but time is money and the customer service was definitely lacking.

I have been cutting and shaving my beard for as long as I can remember but always wanted to get a professional cut. My barber's name is "Strong" and he was great. The shop was clean, he wore his mask the entire time and no one can wait in the sitting area as per the regulations. He used multiple trimmers and then finished with a straight blade as I use and it added that little extra touch to finish off the shape up. The entire process was smooth. I called a few days before to ask about coming in. They suggested I set an appointment and I made it for 9am. Strong was early and I entered the shop at 9:01am. If I decide to get my beard shaped up professionally again I would go back. The barber gave me his direct number so I can make an appointment with him easily.
