The barbers are like big brothers or that cool fun uncle when giving the younger males advise on life and situations; which is needed more now than ever in this day and time.

Good rooted business over all!

I initially took my three year old son for a haircut and he absolutely loves it. They have a Spider-Man car for kids and my son loves it. The barber always does a great job of moving w/ my son to get his haircut the way we asked and even in spite of his movement and excitement of being in the car. And of course a lollipop at the end makes things even better. Until this week, I'd never gone in myself but glad I did. I had a short wait and they do offer complimentary water and coffee. They cut my hair exactly as requested using both clippers and scissors and worth the $25. Payment can be made with cash or card but tips are only accepted in cash so plan ahead. The space itself is bright and clean, cleaner than most barbershops. I'd continue to go for both me and my sons.

I also tipped on top of that. Super upset. Wondering if this happened last time too and I just didn't notice... I paid via Apple Pay so I didn't see the total or sign a physical receipt as I would have with a normal card. Needless to say, I won't be going back.

Old Town Barber Shop at 222 N Lee St # 2, Alexandria, VA 22314…read more I've lived in Old Town Alexandria for close to fifteen years. In all that time I've looked to a number of barbers but hadn't really found one that worked well for me. Two months ago I was exploring Lee Street, just east of King Street, and discovered the Old Town Barber Shop. It's tucked in between Jack's Place (for breakfast and lunch) and Diya Indian Cuisine - and about three blocks from the Torpedo Factory. The free Alexandria DASH circulator bus service stops about a block from the shop, so it's easy to get to from either King Street or Braddock Road Metro Stations I was in the area visiting the new pub, the Commodore, which opened earlier this year next to the barbershop. When I saw there was no waiting at the barbershop and knowing I was due for a haircut, I took a chance on Old Town Barber Shop - and it turned out very well. The shop was clean, well-lit, and I met two barbers, Annie and Helen. Annie did an excellent job listening to my concerns. She made sure she knew what kind of cut I was looking for and then set about her work. She had no trouble achieving the results I was looking for, and I thanked her, paying $30 plus a $5 tip, a price that I've found to be well within reason for the area. The truth about a haircut shows up not as you walk out of the shop but how the hair looks a week later. Annie's work definitely passed that test, and for the next four weeks my hair looked like I wanted it to look. When I returned the following month, Annie once again met and exceeded my expectations.

Cut and Shave Barbershop - Old Town North Alexandria…read moreOver the past 14 years I've had only intermittent success in finding a barbershop that I could rely upon. I'm not a purist - mostly I'm just looking for a standard haircut at a reasonable price. I found what I was looking for when I visited the Old Town North Cut and Shave Barbershop. This shop is one of three Cut and Shave locations and is in that part of Old Town that features a great Sheraton Suites hotel, Trader Joe's, Hank's Oyster Bar, and Harris Teater. (The other Alexandria shops are at the Braddock Road Metro station and on Eisenhower Avenue). For my first visit I had an appointment, but during the time I was waiting I saw walk-in customers, so I think both walk-ins and appointments are accommodated. Note that there's a check-in tablet near the cash register, and it's important to sign in upon arrival. I think that way walk-ins and reservation customers all can be accommodated. My barber, Queen, did a great job of listening to my concerns, and getting feedback while she worked. Queen clearly knew what she was doing, and did a fine job cutting my hair. This was a Men's Scissors Cut ($35 plus tip), and Queen matched the style I was looking for. For me, it takes a while to trust a barber. As this was my first visit, there's no final judgment here, just an endorsement based on a good initial impression. The plus here is if I do get to where I can fully trust Queen, I'll be able to get my beard trimmed as well as my hair cut. The shop in fact has a wide range of services, better than most shops that I've been to. Thus far, in the 14 years I've lived in Old Town, I have yet to find a barber who can trim my beard, so it would be great if that could happen at Cut and Shave.

Yelp to the rescue. I found Cut and Shave Old Town to be a very competent barbershop. Read some reviews, made an appointment, and off to get a haircut. Easy to make an online appointment. haircuts for men are $28. Seems reasonable. Always on time with scheduled appointments. Had my hair cut by Kevin and Amy on different occasions. My style is a one or a two on the sides and back. Half an inch from the top and comb it back. Done. Easy. I try to observe the other barbers with their clients. They all seem happy. Never scened a disgruntled customer. Cut and Shave has a couple of locations. Fair pricing. You get what you pay for and I always get a good-looking haircut. My wife's comments are "It's too short".
