Before seeing a friend's haircut I loved, I was spending time and money to go to a stylist in Georgetown. I hadn't been to a barber for decades. I liked my friend's hair so much that I thought I would try Jalal --that was over 3 years ago! I have not been back to my Georgetown stylist since. Jalal gives amazing haircuts, is professional and one of the few I will trust with my hair. He also does threading, something my stylist could not do. read more

Jalal needs a partner! He's fast, but not fast enough to keep up with the Saturday morning rush. Cash only. Guess you can park in the Aldi lot..? No parking onsite that I saw. read more

The Quality and the service is superb. great service, and friendly staff. Always professional and on time.

This place is a no frills establishment. No website and very few decorations. Jalal cut my hair very efficiently and I am satisfied with the result. He did what I asked and made sure I was happy at the end (I even got a jolly rancher). I was in and out llpretty quickly even with 2 people in front of me. He didn't force small talk on me which I appreciate but he was bantering with the many locals who came after me. Also, the final price (before tip) was $28!!! Everywhere else in the area is triple these days it seems. No credit cards, cash only. Luckily I had cash on me... read more

Jalal Barbering & Hairstyling - Hours - Barbers Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

I have no doubt the man is an excellent barber. But when I walked in for my first time I was standing face-to-face with a barber wearing his mask beneath his chin, which I believe violates current MoCo health regulations. So there you'd be, in a very small space, with a barber functionally maskless breathing on you. None of us know when this pandemic will end, and vaccination rates in MoCo are really good, but the health regulations are there for a reason and it was very disappointing to see them flouted so openly. I turned around and walked out and don't anticipate returning. read more

Best of the best. Superior quality of service. You cannot find any better stylist than Jalal. Very professional. read more

Verbatim review from my five-year old son: "Mr. Jalal is a famous hair cutter. He is nice because he makes me have special haircuts I want, like a zigzag in my hair. My twin brother likes to have some designs in his hair and sometimes just regular haircuts. Mr. Jalal, you do a good job because you give everyone a good haircut. I like to walk to Mr. Jalal's because I get some fresh air. Mr. Jalal is also good because he gives me a lollipop when I am done my haircut." The lad sums it up well- Jalal is warm and professional, performs his work with sincerity and care, and we are so happy to have found his barbershop. Five stars easily! read more

A great cut and shave and Jalal, the owner is a genuinely nice guy! Will be back for sure!

Jalal is a rare gem! The outside and inner space are old school and I like it. I'm a women who doesn't like fancy, over-priced salons. I prefer using my own products and washing/conditioning myself. I am loving my trim! I've drove past Jalal's and never ventured in until I needed a trim yesterday. After watching him give cuts I knew he was a very skilled, kind professional. I found my new barber! Ladies, if you are considering Jalal's go for it. You'll be glad you did. read more

Hello, I give Jalal one star because He cuts her regular customers well and cuts new customers as He wants. It ruined my hair.

There's a reason Jalal has 5 stars and lots of reviews. The man is fantastic. Works fast and precisely. He's personable and always makes you feel welcome. Really great barber! -Ian A read more

Best haircut in town! No appointments, often a short wait, only about 20 minutes per person. Been going here for a few years after trying a few other places that weren't so great. read more

Another great haircut from Jalal. It wasn't til the next day that I realized what a difference it made.

Jalal is AMAZING with my autistic son. He has a hard time w haircuts so we used to drive all the way to a place in Fairfax that was autism friendly. But Jalal is even better, he has a calm demeanor that really works for people w sensory issues. Cannot recommend highly enough. read more

Jalal is on the corner near Aldi's market. The shop itself is a little old and could use extra hands. Jalal is a great barber! I had probably one of the best straight razor shaves I've ever had in my life here. Great hair cut as well, he pays a lot of attention to detail. read more

Fantastic haircut by a wonderful human. Jalal is a joy to be around and does his job outstandingly well. He is kind, thoughtful, and remarkably efficient. He provides the best adult and kid haircuts in Silver Spring, hands down. He always puts the TV onto cartoons when my young son and I come in, which is a small but meaningful touch that endears him to us. Full disclosure, his shop can fill up quickly so getting there right when the shop opens (or a little before) is a sure way to beat the crowds. We love Jalal! Check him out! read more

This guy is the bomb. You generally know when someone is going to give you a great haircut based on the flow and ease of the haircut you are getting from the barber/ stylist. This was my experience with Jalal. He cut and styled my hair so fast. It was awesome to go to a pro. He frequently checked in with me so I saw the amazing progress he was making. He asked if I wanted the old school razor or buzz clippers, when finishing the back of my head, which I appreciated. Will definitely go back soon. Based on the other reviews, it seems he can work with a variety of hair types. Let me say he can definitely do Asian hair. By the way, Jalal just purchased this place about this time last year. So go support local businesses and help celebrate the one year anniversary. PS Yelp, please note, he accepts credit cards. read more

I just brought my 3 y/o son to see Mr. Jalal for a haircut and we had a great experience! He had cartoons ready to make it easy for the little guy to sit still. My little dude looks awesome. Jalal also cleaned up my undercut and threaded my eyebrows. (I've never had that done and it looks amazing - much better than any salon wax job I've gotten in the past!) The prices are very fair and Jalal is so friendly. We will definitely come back and recommend this place highly! read more

My son and I have been coming to Jalal for years. He's just awesome! Can't say enough about his skill and service. Great all around guy.

Quick , inexpensive and friendly. Good haircut. No appointments but the wait is seldom more than 20 minutes

I had been a customer of Natale at this location for a few years, until he retired. When Jalal took over, I decided to give him a try, trusting that Natale would have found a suitable successor. I have not been disappointed! Excellent cut, low prices. I recently moved away, but I still get my hair cut here when I come to town. read more

Props to Jalal for some of the best haircuts in town. His new barber shop is conveniently located on Georgia Ave. Parking is available next door or diagonally in the Staples parking lot. Now I have two great barber shops to go to in Silver Spring. Jalal is a nice guy and will take care of your haircutting needs. Stop in for a haircut, wash or styling session. Go see him! read more

Natale is hands down the best haircut and shave in town. This is an old school barber shop meaning impeccable service and a shave with a straight razor. If you want to get in and get out quickly, you are at the wrong place. Natale is meticulous and takes his time. His haircuts are worth the wait. And at the end, you get a quick neck and back massage. As long as Natale is still cutting hair, I will never go anywhere else. PS - Natale is closed on weekends, but open till about 7pm on weekdays. Walk ins are welcome. read more

After multiple pandemic home haircut disasters, I finally took my haircut-hesitant son to Jalal who quickly fixed my mistakes and delivered the look my son requested in 10 min. And a lollipop at the end sealed the deal: no more home haircuts. We'll be back. read more

Mr Jalal is the real deal. He will eliminate your ear hair with fire and part your hair with a straight razor Nice ambiance there on Georgia Ave. Need to pay him a visit soon read more

A truly old fashioned barbershop! Jalal is a wonderful Barber. He does it old school with scissors going a mile a minute. As a female who gets a pixie cut every 6 weeks or so, I decided to go to a barber instead of a pricey salon! Best decision ever! Jalal was recommended to me by another woman whose hair I admired. I am very grateful to her as now my hair is always on point! His prices are reasonable, his chair side manner wonderful, always smiling and happy to see you! And Ladies! HE DOES EYEBROWS! The man can thread! Try the massage chair while you are waiting! Usually busy but always worth the short wait for Jalal to cut your hair! read more

My regular barber of 20-some years has been sick and in the hospital so I needed someone to take care of me before my son's wedding. After reading the reviews, I checked out Jalal. His shop is very small (2 chairs) but very convenient - on Georgia Ave just below the Beltway. The wait was not long and Jalal was friendly and professional. Most importantly, after asking what I wanted, he listened to what I said! His work was sharp and quick and gave me what I asked for. Oh, and he was really reasonable. I am sure regardless of my regular guy, I will return to Jalal again. read more

Kind of repetitive to everyone else here but Jalal is a great guy who gives a great cut. Call before going in to check on the wait as it can get busy. So happy to have him in our neighborhood and look forward to seeing his business grow. read more

I have known Jalal for years now, and enjoy getting my bread, and haircut done by him. He is great and I will be a customer for a very long time. Thank you Jalal. read more

Friendly local shop conveniently located on Georgia Ave. Quiet, professional, and straightforward.

Jalal is hands-down the best barber in the area. I used to go see him at his old place and I am very glad that he's struck out on his own, delivering an A+ haircut, shave, beard trim, and even threading! He knows the styles very well and I count on him to give me good advice and he's never let me down. Go see Jalal TODAY, and get a great style- you deserve it! read more

Jalal's closes at 7pm and we got in the door at 6:53. He took us and did a great job on my husband's hair in less than 15 minutes. This was our first time and I asked that he make my husband sexy. THANK YOU! We'll be back. read more

I had been going another barber for quite some time but my dad recommended Jalal to me and I decided to give him a shot. I am very particular with who touches my hair and hold haircuts to a very high standard. I have been to several barbers in the area and I can honestly say Jalal is the best barber I have been too. Everything about the experience was perfect. The barbershop is small and traditional which invites conversation between patrons. Jalal greets you warmly as you come in while remaining focused on the client in his chair creating an inviting atmosphere. I am not the best at describing what I want my hair to look like but I gave my description and Jalal understood even making a suggestion to try a higher fade which turned out to be an incredible decision as I have never been happier with my haircut. He worked expertly and it was clear he is a master at his craft. My haircut is perfect and I'll be coming back to Jalal for all of my haircuts. I highly recommend getting your next haircut with Jalal read more

Jalal has been cutting my hair since 2010. I met him soon after I moved to the area from Florida, and I was thrilled to find someone I liked enough to become my regular barber. I went to him for years at the barber shop where he worked previously, and am thrilled to be able to patronize his new shop where he is the proprietor. In addition to being a skilled barber, he's a genuinely nice guy. He cares about his customers and takes an interest in them. He knows how I like my hair cut, but he also provides advice if he thinks another style would look better. I cannot recommend him highly enough. read more

Jalal did a great job for a great price. Very nice guy in an old school barber shop environment. I've been bouncing around to different barbers and salons in Montgomery County, but was never thrilled with any of them. I'll definitely me coming back to Jalal. read more

Its not a fancy place, but he gives quality cuts for the price. He does a great job listening to what you want and then giving you it. He also always ask you at the end to makes sure that you get exactly what you want, if its a little off he adjust it to fit your preference. Lastly, one thing I really liked is that he plays classical music, which really relaxes me. Just a heads up you might have to wait 30-45min if you go in the evenings. read more

Great haircuts great guy. Very professional and cuts your hair just as you describe to him.

A true Sicilian barber. A full one man show. His fine scissor work, shampooing, styling, hot foam shave, and back massage cannot be beat. It's like sitting down with an uncle that's traveled the world. For men's grooming, Natale is classic. Plus, he always has on the current Serie A football (soccer) match. read more

That's my one and only DC barber. Old school meets needs of new style haircuts and this highly skilled hair master/barber delivers in every aspect of it. Pleasant shop where customers become friends between haircuts. Enjoyed every hair of it read more
