I went to the Upper Room because of the Yelp reviews. I arrived on a Thursday morning around 11:30…read more There were 11 guys in line in front of me. I came back around 3 p.m. and there were 9. The long wait speaks volumes. I left with one of the best haircuts ever. Five stars to all three barbers. When you wait for over two hours, you get to see everyone's finished product. They all looked great. If it were possible, I would commute to Blacksburg for future haircuts.

I still charged it to the game like I might've misspoke but there's multiple other ppl who say the same thing n have left mad recently so Here we are SAD!!

Highly recommend and would return in a heartbeat for next cut!! Thank you so very much.read more

Angel is very unwelcoming, extremely rude and talks to you like you're beneath him. I could tell…read morefrom the very first interaction that there was something more to his demeanor, as if his treatment of me was influenced by something other than just business. I was new to the area and arrived a several minutes late to my first ever appt due to trouble navigating the area, only to be met with his stank attitude and him berating me. There was not a single person in the shop so I was not holding anyone up. Instead of handling the situation like a professional, he starts talking to me with attitude like I'm 12 years old. I'm a grown man (I did 10 years in the US Army). There is never an excuse to treat a potential paying customer with such disrespect. You don't talk down to people, no matter the situation especially as a business owner. I'm honestly shocked that a barber would engage in this kind of behavior. Many reviews of the shop were good. Absolutely avoid this establishment as there are so many other barbers you could go to. Why take a chance on someone who has an attitude?

I've been going here now for about 5 years and it's by far the best cut in the NRV I have had. Lamont, Darius, and Josh all three are top notch barbers who have vast experience with all kinds of different hair styles. Josh is generally my go-to, but if he's not there I have no hesitation to sit back with Lamont or Darius. Now here's the best thing about this place. This is an old school barbershop. There's teasing, trash talk, but there's love. These guys and gals make coming to the shop not a chore, but something I look forward to every 2 weeks even if there's a wait. And that's what having a barbershop to call yours is all about. These guys are all locals and grew up in the area, it's a family business as well. This is definitely more than a place to get a hair cut.

This is not a review for the skill of the barbers. I have been going to this establishment and have…read morealways received a great haircut. This review is simply a reflection of the owner (or I am guessing the owner's son based on other comments). At my last visit to the establishment this gentleman engaged in a discussion on immigration, where he no uncertain terms made it clear that immigrants have made no contributions to this country, should not be allowed enter United States, and that immigrant deaths in US custody are either fake news or do not matter because US should not spend his tax dollars on immigrants. I have toned down the tenor of his comments for the purpose of this review. Unfortunately, the actual conversation was hostile and full of dogwhistles. Personally I will no longer bring my business to this place.
