Moral of the story make sure you see these barbers work before sitting in their chairs.

Capable of accepting patrons on a walk-in or by-appointment basis. Cash payments are preferred but…read morethere is a $5 charge if you opt to pay using your credit card. Not a lot of fanfare with decor and I found the lighting to be a bit dim but it didn't impair the braiders. There's a single television that loudly broadcasts religious content or African movies that I found to be easy to follow along with the plot. Thus far, two different ladies braided my hair. I complimented a lady in the grocery store and she gave me their business card. Their prices are lower than some other braid salons I've gone to and there aren't a lot of people waiting around. It appears that they have shampoo bowls if you want them to wash your hair before braid services. However, for many protective styles, I recommend you wash your hair thoroughly, deep condition to avoid damage. A braiding gel is applied but speak up if you feel like too much is being added making your hair feel bogged down by product. Many have issues with the parting of the hair, again, speak up and ask to see what's going on so that you're happy with your style. The lady who braided my hair had one braid higher than the others and when I pointed it out to her, she accommodated me without debate. DO NOT wait until the very end to complain about your hair if you've been watching all along. It's unfair to the braider and it can be resolved by pointing out what you're unhappy about. I would come back here to get my hair braided again as I have been pleased thus far. Take a photo of the style to help with your braid vision.

My daughter made an appointment with this salon by phone. The conversation with the person who…read moreanswered was relatively detailed because my daughter wanted to know if the had ombré hair. I heard the conversation. Yet, when we arrived on Saturday morning at 9:00, the "owner" was rude and said "When did you call?" The "owner" had total disregard for a potential customer; in fact, what we received was close to eye rolling. She apparently had not documented the appointment or gave it to someone else. We received no apology or any attempt to give my daughter another appointment. I guess they don't need the business. They surely won't ever get ours.

I was looking around for a place where I could walk in on a Wednesday morning to get locs maintenance and styled (I think I saw in the website that Locs N Cutz take walk-ins). It was so refreshing to go through the doors and be greeted with a smile. I told the stylist at the front what I wanted done and she pointed me to Ms. Kim. Ms. Kim was working on someone else, but also greeted me warmly. She said that she could see me when she was done with the gentleman. In addition to how the stylists/barbers welcomed me, the shop was bright and clean (I saw them wiping down everything when they were finished with one person), and they were positive and engaging. Now, I did have a small hiccup. I had ideas of how I wanted my locs styled, but I wasn't completely sure. Also, I haven't had my hair retwisted and styled professionally since starting them four years ago (I just do it myself, but I wanted something nicer than what I do for an approaching engagement), so being in a shop is pretty new to me. There was some miscommunication between Ms. Kim and me about how to style it, so I only had the maintenance. I was disappointed when I left the shop, but I still tipped because I had a good experience and my hair looked nice. Surprisingly, I got compliments throughout the day, every day for the first week after Ms. Kim did my hair. This made me less upset and later on, I tried playing around with different styles. I'd go back to see her, but just be more certain about a style if I want one.

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.

Kariem remembered the style I told him I was looking for and when I showed him a picture, he was able to follow it expertly. He checked the length for me before he made adjustments and when I asked him to take the sides a "breath" lower, he did just that. His shaping and edge work is wonderful. Easy to locate, easy to book an appointment (also takes walk-ins), good parking availability, clean, masks required, friendly (child & woman/femme friendly!), patient service to all ages but cuts done quickly and well, very reasonably priced. Cash or cards welcome. I will be back--and will be recommending Kariem and his barbers to others!

You could call, I found the online booking very easy to use. Lastly, there's a salon next door for the ladies who need a different type of styling.
