I called last minute hoping to get a haircut, and Sam graciously gave me his lunch break to accommodate me! (Which I didn't know until I was there) I walked in and was very warmly greeted and immediately felt comfortable. Sam was a great conversationalist with zero awkwardness. ( we've all had that awkward "how's the weather" haircuts ) To top it off, his skills matched his vibe! I got an excellent skin fade and trim. I was in and out in under 20 mins. AND I was shocked when the cost was only $35! 10/10 highly recommend! read more

Top-tier service. Clean shop, skilled barbers, and a great team atmosphere! I've been going to Sam for years but the whole team is very good, friendly, and make you feel at home. Great vibes and even better service. Highly recommend! read more

Avoid this place at all costs! They have a written policy that if you are late, they go to the next person. I had made two appointments for my children (consecutively, not simultaneously). We ran late and I expected the first appointment to be cancelled. Upon arrival, we apologized for being late and wanted to get the haircut for the second kid. I assume the owner aggressively confronted us and said that since we did not call him, he has canceled both appointments and if we want a haircut, we have to pay for two. I understand a written policy, but the rest of his demands (paying for two rather than the one remaining cut), his nakedly aggressive behavior, and disrespectful tone are not OK at all. At least stick to your own rules and don't change them on a whim. Note that the place was almost empty and the barber that we requested was on his phone and not busy. In summary, horrible attitude, unreasonable demands, and abysmally bad customer service. read more

Way too expensive for a shave cut. Half way through the cut, he got on his phone. Very rough and still didn't get it right. Cut my neck with the foil shaver. Couldn't get my goatee cut right. Still uneven and flat bottom. Definite language barrier. I even showed him the difference in the length on my chin and he continued to cut the short side shorter. Guess it's to be expected from a walk in. I have to somewhere else to get it fixed or shave the entire goatee off now before the Gala tonight. I just keep finding things. Missed cutting behind my ear as well. read more

Elite Barber has certainly earned its name. I take my young son there regularly to get a haircut by Sam, and the quality and service is great! I also like how easy it is to schedule an appointment online. Elite Barber is pretty good at sticking to starting schedule appointments on time. I'd love to find the equivalent to Elite Barber for women's haircuts. read more

My husband called for a haircut and they were able to see him the same day. He got his cut from Vinny and he did an excellent job! Very nice guy and the cut was super clean and he listened to exactly what my husband wanted (low skin fade). He was very quick too! Overall, my husband was very satisfied and is planning to come back for regular visits! read more

So my kid needs some style that's not supplied by the military base barber shop or Hair Cuttery - no offense to either. I'm not taking him to my stylist cause she costs a trillion dollars, so I did research on local places and chose Elite for his first "fancy cut". Kiddo has been growing out his hair forever. I do like his hair long, but now he's got bangs in his eyes and curlies past his ear. He needs a hair cut! We walked in with an appointment with Sam. This place did 2 nice things for us: The door was open for air flow and someone started smoking a cig outside. Jay noticed I was covering my nose with my jacket, and shut the door for me. I'm super pregs so this was really nice and when we come back, we'll make an appt with Jay or Sam. Second thing: my kid had a full on temper tantrum when it was time to actually get the cut. He took a breath outside with dad. Then Sam greeted me and I said I'd get kiddo from outside. He still came in with tears. It was def team work with Sam. He kept calm. I kept calm. Kiddo eventually sat and got the haircut. He looks super handsome! When we all got back in the car, I asked if he felt okay and you know how kids just forget ALL THE DRAMA. So he just joyfully answers "Yeah!" We paid a full adult price, but if you're looking for a professional to give your kid some super style, I totally rec Sam. The sign in the shop basically says he's the only one that doesn't follow the same pricing structure as the others. I'm assuming he's the owner or a master stylist, but I don't know! read more

Came in after finding them on Yelp. The place was clean and looked like a typical barber shop. As soon as I entered, the owner Sam came to cash someone out. He looked over with an annoyed face saying if you don't have appointment we can't help you. Luckily, there was another barber walking by that was willing to squeeze me in. I thought the worst was over and was debating whether to stay and get my haircut. I look up to see Sam yelling at an elderly Spanish man. He's telling the man I don't understand you and shooing him away. I stand up and tell him that he's just asking where the bathroom is. There is no need to treat people like that. As I'm ready to leave, the barber tells me he's ready to cut my hair. I stayed in the hopes of making sure the elderly man isn't treated badly again. Once in the barber seat things got better. The barber apologized for Sams attitude. He complained that this was costing them new customers but since he's the owner they're limited on how much they can change things. Additionally, the booking system keeps them busy. Each barber is limited to 30 minutes since the booking system has a new appointment every 30 minutes. It didn't seem like they were taking time like at other barbershops because of the time limit. Overall, the cut was good but the ownership is downright nasty. read more

I took my 2 year old for a cut today since he's having his birthday party this weekend and he was long overdue for a cut. I called ahead to make sure they took toddlers and made an appointment for the next hour. We got there and Roberto was ready for us and had my son choose what he wanted to watch on his phone. He picked Cars (of course) and Roberto was so patient with him and was playful and sweet with my son. He sat on my lap for the cut. My son didn't cry once. My son has had two other cuts prior to this, one at cartoon cuts (it was awful) and another at another barbor where it cost full price for a cut. This is by far my favorite! We will definitely be coming back! Thank you Roberto for your patience and making this an enjoyable experience for my son! read more

If you're looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and detailed hair artist, go see Jay. I've been a loyal customer of his for many years, and I can confidently say that he is one of the best barbers I've ever had the pleasure of working with. When I book an appointment with Jay, I know I can count on him to be there and to give me the same high-quality service he always does. He's not the kind of barber who will rush through a cut just to get it over with. Instead, he takes his time and pays attention to every detail, ensuring that I leave his chair feeling happy with my new look. All in all, I can't recommend Jay enough. If you're looking for a barber who is reliable, thoughtful, and truly talented, you won't find anyone better than him. I feel lucky to have him as my go-to barber. read more

The hair cut is great by zakir But the owner Jay is worst person ever Seen in the life in customer service he made 10 minutes late like the world is ending still i was finished under 30 minutes rest of the staff is great and respectful but this person freaking out of mind I don't know what he Thinks Other side I think he behaves bad with all Indians and Asian because his review tells Please jay improve your behavior read more

For years, I've been looking for a good barber in Fairfax whenever I visit home. I've never found one until now. Making a reservation online was easy, and I got a cut from Shakir, who was very detailed and meticulous, yet fast, with my cut. He gave me a nice fade on the side and shaped the top just the way I wanted it without much direction from me. For only $25 (plus tip), it is not a bad deal at all considering barbers in big cities charge much more, and other barbers in the area charge almost as much for much worse results. The place did look busy so making a reservation would be advisable. read more

I just moved to Fairfax and needed a place to get my hair cut. I saw the good reviews and thought I would check it out. It's like a authentic barber, as in you may have to wait a few mins (15-20) after your appointment. I had Manny cut my hair and the fade was on point and a week later it's growing out very nicely. Worth trying out. I know I'll be back! read more

Hussein did a awesome job today with my hair, I never have reviewed on yelp, but he did such a good job that I had too. Elite Barber is the best! read more

Great people, prices, and product. Jay is awesome and will take care of you. You wont regret it.

Elite Barbershop is one of, if not the best shops in this area. All the barbers are professional and do really great work. My favorite is Frank though, he pays great attention to detail and always does exactly what I've asked. I had him thread my eyebrows after having bad experiences elsewhere and once again he did not disappoint. Hands down the best barber I've ever had! The prices are very reasonable for the quality of work you get. It is also very convenient to book appointments through their website. Just be aware it has been difficult in my experience to get a same day appointment so book ahead. They stay busy here. Definitely recommend this shop! read more

Absolute professionals. My regular barber Fred has 30 year experience, using his scissors like an art form. It is always packed and hard to get hair cut as walk in. Making inline reservation kn they webpage is probably the best way to ensure you get hair cut. I can't imagine going any other place as long as ai live in Northern Virginia and this place is operational. read more

Came to elite barber due to good reviews. Says walk ins welcome. I came in and nobody at host stand, i Sat down for about 20 minutes. Nobody even acknowledged me , several barbers where on their phones going in and out of the store not cutting anyone. I left won't be back. Also only 1 person out of 8 or so were wearing a mask if that is of any help read more

Been going here for a while now always been consistent good haircuts. Jay knows what he's doing, have also gotten my haircut by other barbers if he's not available and they have done great as well. Great service read more

Sam has been my barber for about 10 years when he first started at Barber of Seville in Fair Oaks Mall. I've had him as my barber since and can attest that he's great at what he does. He takes pride in his career and treats everybody with respect. His prices are very reasonable considering how nice and clean this location is. Come Check him out and Elite Barber read more

I have been coming here for the past four years to get my hair cut and I have never been disappointed. All my friends and family like the style on me. Just know that you have to make an appointment before coming in. I was late to my appointment today but they were able to accommodate me. Everyone here seems to be an expert in their craft. read more

I came in as a walk-in hoping they would take me and was greeted with, "No problem!". I was promptly assisted by a fantastic barber whose name escapes me. I told him I recently received a bad haircut and showed him my problem area. He basically redid the entire cut for me and squeezed in time to fix my beard lines. The price they charged me made me feel like I was stealing from them, it was insanely inexpensive for the quality of the service and end result. These guys are truly elite and I will recommend them to all of my family and friends. read more

We just started going here a few weeks ago after they opened and we were seen by Henri. This place is clean and definitely worth all the stars! Henri is great with kids and takes his time and attention to detail. Definitely one of the best barber/ stylist in NoVA! read more

First impressions last. This one was excellent. Clean, organized, professional. Shout out to Henri (hecho en Cuba) for a top rate Ivy League. Recommend booking an appointment ahead of time, but they were able to fit me in thanks to a no show. read more

Booked with Frank. Very friendly, skilled, and efficient. Would recommend to anyone in the area, great service!

Skilled barbers who always deliver a perfect haircut custom to your needs, at a great price. I've been coming here for nearly two years and I wouldn't think of going anywhere else. Jay's team of barbers are all highly-trained, professional and friendly. No matter who you choose, you'll get a great haircut. Henri is my barber of choice, but they're all awesome, and you can't go wrong. A much better price point than the competitors, and right on brand -- an *elite* haircut. The shop is always extremely clean as well, and I always feel safe and healthy every time I'm in there. Would recommend to everyone of all ages. read more

I love this establishment. However, Henri, my barber is no longer with Elite. I have been seeing Henri for 3 years now and I have to say every time I came to Elite I felt welcomed by everyone, and left feeling even better. I will be that loyal customer that all barbers need and will be traveling to his new location. I wanted to write a final thank you to the staff of Elite for your hospitality and kindness throughout the past 3 years. Thank you, and good luck with your business! read more

The reviews are accurate- this is the best place to get a haircut in Fairfax. I originally came here after having several bad haircuts at my neighborhood barber. These guys didn't disappoint. I've been here several times and they do an amazing job. My two sons have both been clear with me - THIS is where they will be getting their haircuts from now on. The barbers are skilled, friendly and professional and their online appointment system works well. Some barbers even send a follow up email to solicit feedback (do you know another barber who does that? Me neither!). Bottom line: get your haircut here. read more

One of my friend recommended this place so I came here for a beard trim. I took an appointment with frank and he asked me which style I prefer and I showed him a picture of mine with a good cut , he then did it very perfectly better than my past one . Make sure that you book an appointment and then go because it's always almost full . I recommend frank highly . read more

Just left Elite Barber and every single one of these men are amazing. They were so kind to my little boys, one of which typically hates haircuts and many places are unable to even cut his hair. Frank cut my 4 year old's hair and his hair looks so handsome. Jay cut my 1 year olds hair and he was FANTASTIC with him. I will definitely be back! Flawless! read more

I spent most of the last two years bouncing between mediocre barbers, which left me unhappy (to say the least). After a glowing referral from my friend, I decided to give Elite Barber a try. Sam gave me the best haircut I've ever had. He is efficient, polite, and masterfully skilled. Since then, I've been going regularly. Sam is a very respectful and respectable business owner, and frankly, the best barber in Northern VA. His fellow barbers are just as skilled, so it's definitely worth going. I now recommend Elite Barber to anyone within commuting distance! read more

Jay does an awesome fade! Very thorough and he is sure to cite it the way you want it. Price is good for what you get - I would suggesting calling ahead to make an appointment vs. walking in; sometimes it's pretty busy. read more

It's extremely hard to find a great barber for kids' cuts. No matter how many barber shops I've taken my boys to (even high-end), many barbers are just not very good when it comes to cutting kids' hair, even if they're sitting completely still. Most of the time, the fade is never blended, and hen my husband ends up trying to fix their haircuts at home. After forgetting that my eldest son had picture day this week, I made a last-minute appointment with Frank at this barber shop, since we happened to be in the area, and Frank had an opening to see both boys. To my surprise, his talent with clippers and scissors, and his speed and precision, were better than the usual barber I take my kids too (and less expensive to boot!). Looks like he's got a couple new regulars! read more

Extremely rude to first time customer. I went there because none of them were open in at the time. I was greeted rudely and was given very cold treatment during the cut. This was just one of the chubbiest Guy among them, so I don't want to completely rule out the place for others. But know that there are many better places around and people greet you when you walk in and they understand 'english'. read more
