I wouldn't go anywhere else. A great barber cut/clipper cut and scissors for longer areas. Always consistent, and even. I won't go to a business conference without making sure I stop in to CBS for a fresh cut or trim. read more

Quiet little spot in Clarendon, no wait at all. The barber is friendly and efficient, and also does a very clean job. Should be noted it's cash only which was fine since there's an ATM across the street. Thought the price for a men's haircut was fine and it was nice to get a hot towel at the end. read more

Nice straightforward haircut by nice woman who owns the shop. A nice quiet barbershop

Bad haircut. Cannot do Men's skins fades even though they said they can. Told them halfway through it was a bad haircut they kept cutting and made it worse. Really bad haircut. Do not recommend. read more

Took me and my kid as walk-ins on a Sunday. I was pretty happy with that. She cut my hair fast, she definitely didn't waste any time, and it came out satisfactory. No issues with the hair or the beard. The only down side is it's cash only. Have your bills ready. read more

After I moved I went to a barber shop close by for a while and recently started making the drive back to Serena. She is the best. Readily understands what you want and very consistent. And a very pleasant and kind lady. read more

Not sure what happened with getting a haircut here, but I got the exact opposite of what I wanted. Maybe the cutter got my instruction backwards somehow, or doesn't understand English, but It's the last time I'll ever go there...... read more

Small business run by the owner, $25 for standard haircut, cash only, all walk-in. This is a good deal and nice barbershop - recommend if you need something quick and simple. Go up the stairs to get to the barbershop; only hope she doesn't retire soon. read more

I've been getting my hair cut here for at least a year. As a man with longer than average hair, Serena does a great job. It takes no time at all and the prices are very affordable. 5/5 stars. read more

Just went there and I will definitely not be going back. The first red flag is that while every other barber shop is booked for the night, this is the only place that is completely empty. The woman went too fast to a point where she was sloppy and aggressive. If the haircut was good, I wouldn't have cared but this is one of the worst cuts I have gotten in years. She was also rude, which again, I wouldn't have cared if she did a good job. I will not be going back there because the quality of her work is awful but on top of that, she rushed through the cut and was rude. I do not recommend anybody going to this place. read more

The haters can pound salt, I will ride for Serena. If you live in the city, chances are you've had at last one interaction in your life with someone that's not a native English speaker. If you have an ounce of mental acumen, you'll figure it out. And if you want a great men's haircut for a fraction of the price of local competitors, this is your spot. Seriously. $20 guys. I know you felt that pandemic, too. read more

20$ for a good haircut; no frills. If you don't have sophisticated needs with your hair and you don't like to spend 60 bucks for a chat with a barber, thank that's your place. She is fast, but without compromising the quality of the haircut; I go there every month and never I left there with a poor haircut. I love the fact that I am in and out in 10 minutes! I had some fun reading some of the negative reviews. Not sure what those folks expected that delivers good haircuts at half prices or less, in the middle of courthouse. So don't go there if you expect to have a 30' chat / therapy session. read more

After getting tired of waiting in the queue at my former go to barbershop in Court House, I finally checked this place out on a whim earlier this year. I'm so glad I took a chance on the little shop above the Java Shack! First off, the place is always open no matter when I decide to get some hair chopped, and there's a never a huge line! That's even crazier when it seems to only be Serena working every time I go. She's always friendly, pays attention to all the small details, and offers a fair price. It's a double-edged sword that it's always quiet in there, but I hope she stays in business for years to come! read more

My girl Serena hooked it up. She did a great job in maybe 15 minutes. Neck shave, hot towel, all that jazz. She didn't talk too much, just a little, but I don't see how people would mark that as a knock against her. The shop was small, above a coffee shop and a pet shop next door so if you need coffee or some dog treats its a one stop area. Cheaper than willys in Ballston by a few bucks, highly recommended. read more

This is a wonderful new Barber Shop that just recently opened up in Courthouse. it's just above the coffee shop and Wylie Wags Pet Store. Serene is the hame of the owner/barber, and she is great. Good military haircuts. She charges approx $15 and discounts the first cut. read more

Courthouse Barber Shop - Barbers Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Great spot. Quiet, relaxed, professional. Serena was good at asking exactly what was necessary and listened to what I wanted. Inexpensive but not a cheap cut! Grab a coffee afterwards. read more

There is nothing more I could have asked for from this barbershop. Open early even on Sunday and quick. I get a number 2 all the way around and you would be surprised how long that takes at some barbershops or the stragglers other people miss. Courthouse Barber Shop did a great job and got it done fast. I think I was in and out in under 7 minutes. Thank you, I'm glad I found this barbershop and I will definitely keep coming back. read more

I have been taking my young son here when she first opened her shop because she is in my neighborhood. Yesterday I took my son,who is now 4.5 yo and she was not nice to him. She was rude and manhandled his head to point it down. My son was in a little bit of a mood but still I expect courteous service especially since we have been going here since she opened. And for her to talk to him nicely and try to get him to calm down a bit. I was there as well and talking to my son. I was taken aback by her comments and her man handling my son's head. She said don't come back. But I was already deciding not to come back after I saw her display. I will not be taking my son here again. I hope others read this and also decide not to support her shop. read more

Recently I have not taken to writing Yelp reviews, but in this case I had to join in the praise for Serena's Courthouse Barber Shop. Seeing a string of 5 stars on Yelp these days is normally a bad sign, but I live walking distance and I was looking to make a change in barbers (I am (possibly now "was") a regular at Andy's Barbershop out in Vienna. However having to drive 30 minutes + traffic once a month for a haircut can become a grating experience, so hence, I went ahead and made the leap... or more accurately I walked a couple of blocks to the Courthouse Barbershop. Space: The barbershop itself is on the second floor of a converted townhouse with a small seating area. There was some quiet music in the background and I saw one barber chair which means she focuses on just one customer at a time. When I arrived at 1pm on a Wednesday (Lunch time) there was no line when I arrived. When I left I stopped by the coffee shop. It is a nice two in one stop. Service: Serena was reserved but very friendly. She even shared a few funny stories. She asked for my preferences for my hair cut and got everything set up, she then double checked the length I wanted and I asked for her to bounce a few suggestions / recommendations off of me and I took them. I have a great haircut, meaning she blended the differing lengths very well, no strays, and did it quite quickly. Lastly the price was just right and a few dollars less than the normal I've seen in the Arlington area. If you're looking for a barber in the Courthouse area that will probably give you more focus and value for your dollar, I'd definitely recommend stopping by her place of business for a haircut. read more

Kind remind: CASH only. Cheap, quick and does the job -- if this is what you are looking for. She is kind of quiet and won't gossip a lot, which is what I like. read more

Strictly military cut. So military that you will be drafted and deployed to Afghanistan immediately afterwards. Rude; she barely speaks English-- good luck explaining what you want. Worst cut in years, and probably in my life. Never again. read more

I've been going here for four years. She's great and always efficient. I've never had a bad cut. She is open with COVID going on, but wore gloves, a face mask, and a face shield. She also had hand sanitizing wipes and gel. Highly recommend. read more

Good haircut, hot towel and straight razor clean up at the end. In and out quick. Will definitely keep going here.

I used to always go to Willy's Barbershop in Ballston, but once I moved to Courthouse, I was looking for something that was in walking distance. After find this place, I was very pleased with the haircut I received. I showed her a picture and she got it perfect the first try on what I thought was a simple haircut that other barbers couldn't get right. If you are a guy looking for a place to get a good haircut for a reasonable price this is your place! Cheers, Jesse read more

Good haircut, fast, and affordable. Cash only

I found this barber through Yelp and she is amazing. Cheaper than other nearby options (I used to go to a barber in Courthouse mall, and very friendly. She is right above a coffee shop. Highly recommend! read more

Have now been here five times. Can't recommend Serena enough. Great hair cuts, no nonsense service, and all for a really good price. There were two folks waiting when I got my haircut today, so that's a good sign. Go here, you won't regret it. read more

My second haircut and I'm still extremely happy. It's sometimes hard to find a barber that actually listens to what you tell them and then does exactly what you say. Glad to finally find a great barber. read more

Great haircut, no line with easy parking nearby. The owner is very friendly and it was nice to be able to grab a coffee downstairs right after my haircut. read more

Where the hell do I start. I go in here because it's the only place around that opens before 10. I'm greeted by this Asian lady Serena who doesn't speak a lick of English and makes no apologies for it. I ask for a low fade. Without asking any questions or allowing me to go into detail she starts hacking away. She does it so quick you'd figure someone was waiting in the back to chop her hands off if she waited 3 seconds. She makes the first cut so high and so short it's too late. Unless you want to look like a hipster or that you're getting ready to go to boot camp. DONT GO HERE. If you're into that stuff come here, and since you are into that you can get yourself a caramel frappucino gluten free soy milk using non conflict sugar downstairs at some hipster coffee shop.

The cuts I get are always quick (10-15 minutes) and exactly what I asked for. I go with military-style haircuts exclusively. Serena is kind, but speaks little and only accepts cash. The shop is always clean. read more

Excellent Quality, fast and inexpensive. I've struggled in the past to figure out how to explain what I want to new haircutters, but the owner worked with me and gave me exactly what I wanted Cash only read more

Being new to Arlington (for work) I couldn't keep using my normal barber due to the commute. I found this place, half the price I am used to and she does an excellent job! I believe I have found my new place for a quick trim! read more

I decided to check this place out because of the great reviews. Unfortunately, my experience deserves a 3 star. I came in before 4:00pm and was the only customer there. My haircut seemed rushed and only lasted about 10 minutes. No complaints about the actual hair cut, it just seemed rushed as if she wanted to get me out of there. Also, there was no straight razor after cut which most barber shops in Arlington will do. read more

I requested she take an inch off the top. She takes an inch of hair between her fingers and asks me if that's what I want and I say yes. She cuts the inch of hair and begins the process of evening out the rest. 6 passes over the same spot and 3" later, she's finished and now I look like Peyton Manning. As others noted, there is minimal communication and the whole thing is over in 10 minutes. I'm beginning to wonder if she even understood what I requested. Also may indicate why the waiting room was empty. read more

I have been to this Barber shop 3 times now and have gotten a great haircut each time! She is very quiet like other reviewers said which is nice after a long day at work. She is quick and thorough, and the prices are cheap for the area. The other nice thing are the hours are very long which means you could feasibly head there before or after work during the week. The place can be a little difficult to find the first time though. read more
