Another quality haircut, easily booked online. In and out in 45 minutes. $25+ tip for a skin fade. Owners John and Aaron are great dudes. Smart and skilled. My barber, Avery, is world class. Tough shoes to fill when my former go to, Fernando, relocated to the West Coast (miss you dude!)...but crushing the cut and convo. read more

Do not recommend going! First time client and I asked for a medium fade and a little off the top...I ended up with a high and tight interpretation of a fade! I also noticed that the barbers turn you away from the mirror as to not see their work until the very end, I hope the shop starts to disclose to customers that certain cuts are outside of certain barber's professional scope. read more

Avery does some great beard work, still a great place to come and get some off the top...or in my case the bottom! Sat today for a head shave/beard trim. They were friendly as always and will be back in a month or so for another trim. read more

First time client. Moved to the area two years ago and have always been in search of a solid local small business Barber Shop. Was Super stoked to find out about Lionshead. The website was pretty straight forward and easy to navigate and schedule an appoint. I drove about 40-45 minutes from Yorktown to Lionshead. The Barber Shop itself is pretty dope with good vibes and its own personal touch and style with the interior. When scheduling the same day appointment I selected the "first available option" and was slotted for an appointment with Amanda. I'm not sure if she was having a bad day or if it was something I did, but my initial interaction with her was substandard. Amanda's attitude and communication skills were absolutely substandard and a poor reflection of the rest of the barbers and the business itself. The Vibe I got from Amanda was as if this scheduled appointment was an inconvenience to her or a punishment. When asking me what / how I wanted my hair cut she was very short and consistently cutting me off. Answers and responses to her questions were met by Amanda treating / acting like I was a retard, too the point where once the haircut began I had no motivation or desire to attempt to communicate or hold any type of conversation with her. Overall the haircut was adequate at best, something a customer could find at a standard chain shop like sports cut, but probably without the attitude and negative interaction. Upon completing my haircut I paid the $30 standard fee and provided a $10 tip (my average tip to any barber) by no means do I believe Amanda deserves any type of additional financial accolades for showcasing her negative attitude and sub standard communication skills. As I sat in my car in the parking lot, I observed Amanda rush out to her car and drive off. I am really hoping she was just having a bad day because I find it hard to believe that the overall customer retention rate would be as high as it is if all barbers at Lionshead consistently conducted business in a similar fashion as Amanda. As much as I love supporting small local business, I will not be returning to this particular barber shop, nor will I be recommending their services to friends / associates. However, this business is clearly doing something right based on the overall amount of customers it has, and an assumed positive retention rate for returning clients. Unfortunately my experience with Amanda had the exact opposite results that any business owner would strive for. read more

Amanda did an amazing job with my bald fade. I will be going to see her again this week.

I finally found my forever shop. Great atmosphere, great vibe. These people put their all into their craft and it shows. Took my grandson there for a cut that every other shop we've tried had completely screwed up. They did his beloved fade up faux hawk and he made it clear that Lionshead is his favorite shop. I've recommended them to every person that has commented on his hair. We are that impressed. Thanks so much Avery, 2 you rocked it!! read more

Chris did a great job with my mid taper, the atmosphere/vibe of the shop is similar to a tattoo shop so I liked it a lot. The staff is welcoming and friendly. Chris was also explaining what he was doing to my hair before he did it which was very appreciated! Would come again. read more

I cant say enough about this place. The staff is friendly, cool and do a killer job. This is not you dads barber shop. It's also not some yuppie salon with cucumber water and incense, NOPE. It has a cool laid back kind of vibe, you know that kind of vibe you find at you local bar or favorite hang outs, were you feel at home. Music always hip and cool , sure some times it's not my taste but it not elevator music or some crap you hear at Walmart, it's always cool.. My barber is Andy and he kicks a$$. He keeps my beard shaped up and giving straight up no shit advice on what works and what when I ask questions and about beard maintenance. I am bald so hair is not on the menu. read more

Got my 2 year old sons hair cut here. GREAT place. Nice people, excellent service. Lisa took great care of him!

If you're the type of person who once finds a barbershop you never go to another. This is that type of barbershop. I love the patience and them taking their time to make sure you look correct. Not rushed, nice and even. Highly recommend especially if you love a good up to date look. I'm definitely not going to another barbershop. read more

Lionshead Barbershop - Before cut on the bottom. After cut on top. - Barbers Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

Im flabbergasted at how this place has so many haircuts appointments. It was my first time here and will definitely be my last. I was a walk in so I had to wait for hours just to get a haircut. While waiting I saw just about every one of their barbers do at least one haircut. Only one was semi-decent. None of them did a good fade which is surprising considering they take like 45 mins per customer. Worst haircut of my life. Barber got me lookin like Bert from Sesame Street read more

Rude, unprofessional, and ridiculously long wait times. If you don't care about customer service and want to feel like your inconveniencing someone as soon as you walk in the door then this is the place for you. Otherwise best to avoid this barbershop and take your business elsewhere. read more

Please read whole review** I love this place for a great haircut. Awesome atmosphere! I usually do a walk in haircut because my work schedule doesn't always allow me to keep appointments....... avoid the new girl unless you want a Navy Exchange haircut. As in "yeah I want a low skin fade" but end up with a high and tight. Everyone else that has cut my hair has been nothing but perfection. I haven't been back in a month because I'm still trying to grow my hair back out from the new girl (skinny chick chair straight in front of the door by the back) read more

Big John and Aaron, the main co-owners are hands down masters of their craft. If you book them with enough notice you're going to leave with an amazing haircut. But to get an appointment with Big John you need to book him at least 2 weeks in advance if you want a particular time. The rest of the staff are all great and talented barbers, and are always readywalk-ins as long as your willing to wait. Andy is also a skilled barber that's available to book in advance as well. But for the best fades book Big John Coming to this shop is always an amazing experience. I can't suggest this shop enough. Some of the coolest offerings they provide are undercuts, designs, and most popular is their fades. read more

I was able to schedule an appointment for a mustache trim the same day! Everyone was very friendly and helpful, and I was fortunate to have John as my barber. Because he was able to trim my stache in only a few minutes, he didn't charge me anything! I was very pleased with my experience here, and will definitely be coming back! I am very fortunate that my appointment at Jake's Place was not kept, as Lionshead is leaps and bounds ahead of the game! I would highly recommend this place! read more

Perfect cut! The back of the neck shave was simply awesome. Will definitely go there again. The feel or the vibe of the barbershop was definitely chill and relaxing. read more

Do not sleep on this place. If you need a haircut in Hampton Roads come here. You might wait alittle longer here than at Great Clips of Knockouts but the haircut is worth the wait. Also, the prices are more than fair for the attention to detail put into every clients cut. Finally, if you have facial hair and want it trimmed, go here. These folks can handle a beard trim with the best of them and I've never heard a horror story on how they've messed up someone's beard. They know their stuff and the final product is evident of that. read more

Avery ALWAYS does an amazing job and takes the time to make sure you are truly happy with your haircut. I have only visited her twice, but she remembered my requests from our last haircut and even provided tips for when I style it at home. She has phenomenal attention to edges and detail. She also has a great attitude and enjoys dinner doughnuts. And you can't go wrong with a doughnut, not matter what time of day it is. Thanks Avery!!! read more

Was in and out in only 30 minutes and got the exact haircut I asked for. Also, cool artwork on the walls.

Stayed near the barbershop while on vacation. Able to book online and get a great cut! Also chatted about places I should see while in the area. Highly recommend. read more

Aje did an amazing job. I booked her for an appointment. I highly recommend making one because you have priority over walk ins. Staff was very friendly. Overall great experience! read more

A good barbershop is hard to come by. However when you find THE ONE. It becomes a second place. For four years I've made the switch over from going to a stylist to a barber. In that time I've tried out several barbers. First spot, was great, but one, all walk-ins only and cash only too. Great barbers, sadly it was way too far for me to go. Second spot was a walk down from work, appointments and cash only. An old guy that learned to cut my hair. Unfortunately, he made one mistake and I couldn't go back there. Finding a good barber is all about networking. Word of mouth is key and social media is a friend. I was suggested Lionshead Barbershop from a work acquaintance. I checked them out and they seem legit. What's humbling is I checked out their work on their Instagram, followed their barbers and some followed back immediately. Pretty shocking b/c I've never met them before. I was simply appreciating their craft. What convinced me to make an appointment was their location and their barbers. The appointments are a plus b/c you can cut your waiting time and know when you're getting cut. The atmosphere is pretty chill and welcoming. Waiting area has seating and the music is great! I've only been there twice (morning and near closing time) and both times were not that busy. What makes a barbershop great is when the barbers enjoy what they do and have fun. Conversations can carry throughout the whole shop! They have drinks (Red Bull) and product for sale, takes cash and card and lots of reading material (if you don't have your phone to galavant). I dig the culture they have there and I suggest anyone to try it out. Walk-ins are welcome but appointments get seen quicker. If you're hungry there's Jessey's Taqueria and amazing place for Mexican food. If you're feeling lucky check out the new Tattoo shop next door, Port 13 Tattoo. Lionshead definitely has my vote for them. read more

Thank you Aje for our little mans fresh new cut he looks so handsome. Coming back for sure read more

I've tried a handful of barbershops in the area this past year in search of the perfect one. I always left those butchers very unsatisfied; looking like I lost a match to "Brutus the Barber Beefcake." Well, some were ok but I wasn't happy enough to become a repeat customer. Then I discovered Lion's Head Barbershop and boy was I glad I did. I first went in as a walk-in client to have my haircut corrected from a butcher I had seen the previous day. I was tended to immediately. While sitting in the chair I could tell that the staff there knew what they were doing and they cut hair well. There wasn't much the barber could do with the mess on my head but he did what he could. He even said that he wouldn't charge me for the cut but I generously tipped him anyways. I told myself that when my hair gets long enough for another cut, I'll know where to go. When that time came for a haircut I went there hoping to get a cut from Aaron or Big John. I liked what I saw from them the last time I was there and from browsing the Lion's Head IG page. But I didn't make an appointment and their waiting list was like 2 weeks out so I took the next available barber. I'm kinda glad it worked out that way because I found the my barber. Amanda is very attentive to what you're looking for and takes her time to make sure you're happy. Not only do you get a good cut, you get great conversation as well. I've seen her 3 times so far and was very satisfied each time. I now consider her my personal barber. On my drive home from Lion's Head I find myself looking in my rear view mirror because I'm so happy with my new cut. I'm sure everyone who leaves there does the same thing. Lion's Head Barbershop is a place I highly recommend if you're in need of a good cut. The staff there are well experienced, very friendly, and the place has a good atmosphere. I've sent a few of my friends there and they are repeat customers as well. read more

So I was referred by a friend to check this place out..in particular the barber Andrew Kelly, I spot a Mohawk and I had let it go longer then I should have so it was rather bushwhacked and over grown....much to long on the top for my taste; so I decided to give Lion's Head a try. Let me tell you! It was well worth the 20 min drive out to see Andrew! I was in and out of his chair quick, my Mohawk is better the I have seen it in a very long time! He gave it razor sharp clean edges from front to back, the top is now even and spike ready for putting into the full on Mohawk style! I will continue to go back to Lion's Head barbershop to see Andrew for my hair care needs. He's one bad A$$ barber!! read more

Best barber shop around. Hands down. Unintentional rhyme though. On a serious note, this place top to bottom has the competition beat. The customer service, friendly atmosphere, great place to shoot the breeze with the guys, are just the little perks about the place. The true talent that Big John and Aaron the Barber have are second to none. If you want a traditional hair cut from a true barber, then this is without a doubt the place for you to go. End of story. read more

Lions head is fantastic. I appreciate a place I can sit down and not have to really tell someone what it is I want. They know what I need. If I wanted....an 83 Danzig, they'd know exactly what I was talking about. All jokes aside, great crew, great place. Always friendly and a place you really wanna hang out. I couldn't recommend this place more. read more

Great haircut! These guys are the real deal. Big John is my my barber, but the entire crew is awesome.

Lionshead is the premiere place to get your cut for a great price and awesome shop vibe. You can't go wrong with anyone but Andy is my go to any day of the week. Highest rated barbershop in the area for a reason read more

What an experience the wait the price everything was worth it!! These guys/gals working here take there hair cutting like art with perfection! I will be going by there every time I'm down here! Sadly I'm about 5 hrs from here! read more

Great place to get a haircut. All the barbers are "super cool". They take their time and make sure to do a perfect job. Awesome atmosphere and music. (Helps having Jessy's Tacos just a few doors down too). The Uppercut pomade they sell smells great. I am getting some. I do recommend that you make an appointment. I will be coming here on the regs. read more

I've been going to John for haircuts for over four years. By far the best barber shop in Hampton Roads. This is especially so if you're in the military and you've been only exposed to the "barbers" on base. read more

Legitimate quality fades, consistently, in a savage gentlemen type environment. Friendly and talented staff. Highly recommend!

Been there on three separate occasions, even tried switching up the barber...doesn't matter. Brought in photograph to show what was wanted. The fade is barely there and it's super high, I asked for a low fade. Asked for the razor on the back of neck the last times and never got it. Sucks because it is close to where I live, but at this point it's not worth it. read more
