    This location of GHQ Grooming is one of the two barbershops I frequent whenever I need a trim; the other being the Jake's Place in the neighborhood of Ghent. Once you arrive and check-in with the front desk, cold beverages like beer and water are available. You can go chill in the waiting area by the pool table in the back. There's almost always some sports channels on in most of the tv's inside. I really enjoy coming here to get my haircut because of the chill, relaxed vibes, the service is friendly and professional and the hair stylists and barbers seem to know what they're doing and are good at their craft. Some people who come regularly tend to stick with one hair stylist they prefer, but I don't have a favorite one here yet. And I almost always opt for the package which includes the shampoo and extra scalp massage which costs a few extra dollars but it is totally worth it! GHQ is definitely a solid choice if you're looking for a good hair cut experience. There's two locations, but I prefer the one located off of Independence Blvd. They do take walk-ins, but I definitely suggest calling and making a reservation a few days in advance! **Bonus, I LOVE it when some of the hair stylists bring their dogs to work. You'll be sitting there, while the hair stylist works on your hair and a soft furry body would brush up against your feet...LOL**

    I went here for years and this visit was the worst Ive ever had. I probably won't be able to come back after this. The stylist could not follow a reference photo. The whole time she shoved the clippers across my scalp so fast like she's shearing sheep. The fade is way too high in the front, and way too low in the back. I'd be impressed if she could execute a fade that quickly but I can see unblended lines so it isn't a good fade at all. The person missed a patch of hair at my right temple which I had to fix myself at home because she refused to come back and look after what happens next. When it was time to shave the back of my neck, Toria kept hurting me. I was calm at first, letting her know she was hurting me. After Toria continued scraping, I informed her again. Without pause, she continued scraping even faster. Eventually, I had to raise my voice and demand that Toria stop and put the razor down because she kept scraping my neck with it, even when I asked her to take it easy TWICE. (Toria then put the hot towel on my neck after the neck shave, but uuuh hot towel is supposed to go on your neck before the shave). From there she was just mad and wanted me out of her chair. Toria yanked the hairdresser cape up over my shoulder to make the hair clippings rain down all over me. She washed and dried my hair in under a minute. "The Professional" is supposed to include a hot towel on your face and be more of a "premium" haircut, shave, and shampoo package. No styling after. Toria just got up and stood by the register. I saw the issues and waited for her to come back, but she wouldn't even look at me to come back and fix it. All that attitude because I complained that she was hurting me during the shave. Toria is totally awful. They charged me 39 dollars for this cut performed by Toria. ABSURD. DOESNT MATCH REFERENCE. Trashy lady.

    I've been coming to Ghq on Independence blvd for three years and continue to be a big fan. The quality of service has never dipped and the prices have remained stable and reasonable all through Covid. They are friendly professionals who make you want to come back again and again. Definitely the best of Virginia Beach!

    Over the course of the past 7 days prior to posting this, I made MULTIPLE appoints. Confirmed by email. Then I'm called 15 mins to a couple hours after and I'm told they need to reschedule. Which isn't convenient for me. I arrived today at 6:30 PM. The lady locked the door. As I was pulling up. Saw me try to open the door, and she waived a finger telling me 1 minute. She went to the back and never returned. I have the email, shown before, confirming 6:30 PM. I took a picture with my watch confirming the time I was there and what time I waited until. I've been using Ghq since 2014... From having ruined haircuts to rescheduled appointments, this place has gone down hill fast. I Courtney is the only one in there who's given me a decent experience. This is sad. I came across town and I'm locked out like an animal after having an appointment confirmation. Below is a response by the establishment who's perpetuating a lie. I never confirmed for 6:15. She asked me if I could make 6:15. I explained no I could not. It would be another time where my appointment was rescheduled by the establishment after I would schedule an appointment on line, receive a confirmed email, and still would get called asking for a change. I confirmed over the phone I could not be there until 6:30. If they couldn't do the appointment, why do I have an email with a confirmed appointment for 6:30. Furthermore, the establishment closes at 7:00. Why we're the doors closed early. The cameras of the establishment will confirm the lady waived to me saying she'd be right back and never returned to the door. This establishment is lying and I've proven it. Do not go to GHQ. It's gone down hill.

    Quality has really gone down hill with this place. Past few times have been mediocre cuts and not worth the premium price that they charge.

    Located minutes away from the Virginia Beach Town Center is a family owned Barbershop. I've been…read morecoming here for a couple of years, and I came here on a whim because I wanted a traditional barbershop with an in and out experience with solid service. And I found exactly what I was looking for. Pon and her staff are excellent, professional, kind and most important of all great at their job, making people look better than when they walked in :) Today I was greeted by Pon, Dianne, and Brandon. They were extra welcoming and super nice. This is why they have a loyal clientele regardless of what others may say. Before I wrote my review I went through other reviews too and here are my comments. - The interior can use a little upgrade but it didnt bother me because I trust them and the good job they always do. - Dianne is fresh out of school & she is continuously learning new things here and there. Is she perfect? No. So for everyone that had complaints, cut her some slack please. - Pon is super nice and always smiling. I love her attention to detail and her recommendations she gives. She makes sure the cut you get from her suits you and is shaped for your facial structure. She's concerned. - I would call ahead of time for an appointment. Because theyre so in demand walking in is a hit or miss. - I saw someone say that they make take a while per cut. Based on my observation, not everyone's hair is the same. There's no standard way of cutting. But like I mentioned they are very detailed and precise in the way the cuts look & customer satisfaction. But yeah above all else I say Give them a try, I did and I haven't been disappointed since. ;)

    Finding a hair stylist that you trust with your hair is HARD, but finding Keely was the best thing…read morethat ever happened to my hair!! I seriously cannot say enough amazing things about Keely, I recommend her to everyone I know!! Keely has been my stylist for the last 4 years, and as someone who is super picky about my blonde, she absolutely nails it every single time. Even after all this time, she still takes the time to do a full consultation (plus the best mini therapy session). Not only does she listen to me yapp about my life while we drink insanely good coffee and casually drop first & last names in the chair, but she also gives me the best hair advise and truly listens to exactly what I want. Somehow my hair looks even better after every single appointment. My blonde has never looked so bright, healthy, and blended perfectly. When I first went to Keely my hair was holding on by a thread, (not even kidding, could barley get a brush through her) now it's the healthiest it's ever been even with bleaching every appointment! Keely will give you your dream color while keeping the integrity of your hair! Not only is she incredibly talented, but she also makes every appointment so fun and comfortable. The entire salon has such a welcoming vibe, and the amazing team at AOC constantly hypes you up and compliments your hair throughout the whole process. I always leave feeling confident, happy, and completely pampered. If you're looking for someone you can truly trust with your hair (and your secrets haha) Keely is your girl!! 1000/10 recommend!!‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

They prefer appointments, but will take walk-ins (be mindful that priority will always go to appointment clients) I wanted to do a walk in, but ended up setting a same day appointment, only 2 hours after I made the call, so it a doable wait time. I ate lunch and had a nap before coming in, so it was already leading up to a nice chill day. My stylist was an older lady, and she was very pleasant, quick nimble with the scissors and mostly styled my hair with just her hands (I have natural waves) and used very little product. And my hair turned out better than I expected. I basically got a wolf cut with soft layers. As we talked, I found out she's had a collective of over 30 years experience cutting hair both abroad and here In the states. I can really appreciate the service she gave along with her pleasant demeanor during the whole experience I had. My husband ended up going there to get his hair cut a few days later...and I was happy with what they did to his hair as well. Very clean and styled in a way that suits his face and head shape. Not just a cookie cutter hairstyle that looks the same on everyone. This one really flattered his specific look and personality. The only downside is parking on a busy day, the lot is small and right up near a busy street. So I understand why they encourage appointments, to keep the parking lot from being crowded. So it seems like they already put some consideration into setting up a good experience for their clientele. I look forward to visiting them again in the future for a color job I want to try. All I wanted this time around was a wash, cut and style and it was decently priced and professionally done in a relatively short amount of time. Always tip your stylist, especially if you can't stop smiling at what a great job they did. thanks for the amazing service!

Several years ago, I patronized this establishment when the owner was working there, so I knew that he would only hire barbers with a broad repertoire of skills. I called today and asked if anyone there did flattops. The barber who answered the phone said that while they don't get a chance to do many of them, they are all adept at cutting them. Having gone more than three weeks without a maintenance trim, I set up an appointment with Nacho (aka Chris) and was ready to take my chances with what could happen. Surprise! Surprise! He did an outstanding job with the cut. He gave me exactly what I asked for - a high and tight flattop with shaved sides and a nice crisp deck. If I had known he was going to be so good, I'd have let him do a nice military flattop (aka horseshoe flattop). Well, there's always next time. I was impressed by Chris's cordial nature, calm demeanor, and attention to details with the cut. The ambience is the shop is calm and soothing. The TV isn't blaring. The barbers and clients aren't having to talk over loud music either. Anyone who has had a flattop knows that not every barber can do them and make them look good. Thankfully, Chris can!
