    I have been coming here for quite some time now, and Lisa always does a great job. Lisa runs the barbershop by herself and is super friendly. This place is cash only and has an ATM conveniently located inside. Suggest making appointments in advance. The hot towel neck massage is worth trying.

    I just took my daughter to get her hair cut here. It was fantastic. The stylist (who had great hair herself) gave my daughter the best haircut of her life. We have gotten her pixie cuts a few times and they havent been fantastic but this one was great. Even though it was an inexpensive cut ($20) for a five-year-old, the stylist gave my daughter tons of attention and used all the tools, products, hair dryer to make it look like a stylish and adult-worthy pixie cut. All covid precautions were taken as well. We will definitely be back with prices so good. Thanks so much!

    Lisa is great and a wonderful haircutter! I have been going to her for several months now and have had a fantastic experience every time. Very affordable men's haircut that comes out looking amazing. While I always call ahead to schedule an appointment, she welcomes walk-ins as well. I certainly plan to continue going to her and recommend you do as well!

    Haircut, short like I prefer.

    Great hair cuts with a hot towel. Easy to get to from the Dunn Loring metro. She always does a great job and has attention to detail. I highly recommend.

    I really enjoy getting my haircut at Metro Barber & Salon with Lisa! All COVID guidelines are followed and I always feel safe. She always listens to how I want my hair cut and makes sure to take her time. I am so lucky to have found a great stylist so close to my apartment and the metro.

    I have been coming to Lisa at Metro Barber for many years. Well before she opened her salon she was cutting hair at other places in Fairfax. Each time she moved, I moved with her. I now live in Houston TX but when I want a quality haircut at a fair price and am in VA I come to her.

    Definitely my go-to place since moving to the area. Lisa is very kind and cares about you as a client. I feel at home here (comfortable, non-pretentious, quiet environment) and get what I am looking for at a reasonable rate ($35 for haircut and detail-oriented beard trim). Make an appointment over the phone and being cash for optimal experience.

    I've been getting my hair cut at Metro Barber & Salon for a little over two years. Lisa has consistently given me a great cut and is always on schedule when I call ahead to make an appointment. She provides great recommendations on how to keep my style up to date and refine my look to best accentuate my natural features. Priced at around $18 for a cut, it's not only affordable but a great value. If you are new to the area, I highly recommend Lisa for you style needs.

    Clean low taper fade by Lisa!

    Lisa really knows her way around a good haircut! I had been struggling to find a good barber in the Merrifield/Arlington area of Nova for some time. But after moving close by, I found Metro Barber & Salon and have been returning ever since. Lisa is quick but meticulous with her cuts and is really great with fades, especially 'subtle' ones. If you're new or just have a broad idea with what you want, she will have a suggestion or two but won't at all pressure you into something you don't want. (I'd make the personal suggestion of getting a wash to go with the cut - sometimes the extra bit in self pampering is incredibly refreshing!) The price for a mens cut is about $20-22. And for the quality of cut you receive, the price point is pretty good IMO. The shop is cash only, however there is an ATM housed inside if you're in need of it. From what I've been able to tell, it really is a one person shop. So while Lisa does take walk-ins, you're better off (and it's a bit more considerate) if you call ahead - especially if you make the mistake of walking in during 'peak' hours after work. If you have the patience, she'll definitely do her best to fit you in if there are others ahead of you and if they've called ahead. Otherwise, she will be polite enough not to waste your time and ask if you could return at a later date and time. Parking here can be a little tricky if you're not familiar with the immediate area. Street parking in front of the shop is always the hardest as residents from the surrounding condos do happen to 'camp' in those spaces from what I've been able to tell. Fortunately, there is customer parking in the Halstead II condo parking garage off of Hallstead Lane (kind of across from the District Taco). If you're a bit hesitant to park here, don't fret! There are several actual dedicated spaces specifically for the barber/salon inside the garage, so don't worry too much about finding a space there. If you're looking for a nice, clean and family-friendly place that offers quality haircuts at competitive prices, then look no further than Metro Barber & Salon!

    I've been getting my hair cut from Lisa for 20+ years. Fewer hairs, but always looks good.

    ### 1-Star Disaster at Barber Effects (more like Defects) - Avoid at All Costs!…read more I walked into this barbershop today hoping for a fresh look, showing the barber a clear reference photo of a curly mullet - you know, that trendy, layered style with volume on top and length in the back. What did I get? A buzzed-to-the-bone disaster that looks like it was done with a weed whacker. My curls? Gone. My mullet dreams? Obliterated into a generic, ultra-short crop that makes me look like I lost a bet. Shocked, I flagged down the owner/barber to complain. He took one look, agreed it was "very short" (understatement of the year), and offered to comp the service as an apology. Fair enough, right? But here's where it gets messy: the original barber (JC, as I later learned) didn't even bother lining up my hairline. It's crooked as hell around my temples and neck - like a toddler drew it with crayons. Total amateur hour. I politely asked for JC's name to reference in my feedback, and the owner/barber straight-up grilled me: "Why do you need his name?" I explained I was leaving a review to warn others. His response? "Please don't do that." When I stood my ground and said I absolutely would, he flipped the script - threatened to charge me (and did) for the haircut anyway, and topped it off by calling me "spoiled" as I walked out the door. Spoiled? For expecting a basic competence from a professional service? This place is a joke. Rude staff, zero accountability, and haircuts that ruin your day (and your self-esteem). Save your money and your sanity - go literally anywhere else. JC and the owner/barber should be ashamed. Never again.

While it was out of our way (it's not accessible by metro), we chose it due to the easy to use website, straightforward pricing, great reviews on google and customer images that were exactly the style we were looking for. And WOW... the commute was 100% worth the cost of an Uber ride. We booked with Frank and couldn't believe the magic hands this man has! hahaha. Frank is funny, kind and was super helpful bringing both his expertise and listening skills to the table. We showed up with a few samples of what we wanted and Frank worked his magic on my friend's hair and beard. I also was super annoying recording everything for TikTok (haha!) because, well, we wanted to make a funny video of the experience for our friends - and Frank was so fun to work with. He even jumped in some pictures with us at the end. Most important, my friend got so many compliments on his new look afterwards. I highly recommend Barber Effect and Frank!

I treated myself to the Premium Haircut with Lawrence and the Premium Pedicure with a talented young lady whose name I, unfortunately, forgot--but her skill and care were unforgettable. Lawrence delivered a top-tier grooming experience with the Premium Cut. Every detail was handled with precision--from the razor outline and warm foam to the aftershave massage and relaxing lavender-infused hot towel. I walked out looking and feeling my absolute best. The Premium Pedicure was equally indulgent. From the warm soak and peppermint sugar scrub to the massage and paraffin wrap, every step was designed for total relaxation and care. My feet have never felt better. I also enjoyed the Premium Manicure, which was the perfect finishing touch. The exfoliation, hydration, and attention to detail were exceptional. To top it all off, I was offered complimentary beers, which added to the upscale, laid-back vibe. Hammer & Nails isn't just a grooming spot--it's an experience. I left feeling refreshed, pampered, and appreciated. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to elevate their self-care routine. I even purchased my membership. On a side note: I would like to have one closer to me in Gaithersburg.

    When I first moved to the Fairfax area, I went around to a lot of the "best" shops looking for a…read morebarber I could trust. I saw varying levels of skill elsewhere--not necessarily bad work, just inconsistent--but Trieu is easily at the top of my list and has become my go-to. I barber as a hobby--not professionally, just for friends--so I look at haircuts a bit differently than the average client. I'm a pretty normal, low-maintenance guy regarding my own hair, but because I know the trade, it honestly kills me when I see professionals taking shortcuts or ignoring the fundamentals just to turn over the chair. I wanted someone who simply respects the craft, and that is Trieu. His technical approach is unique and demonstrates high-level skill: For medium length on top, he moves away from rote sectioning (holding hair between fingers). Instead, he combs along and against the grain to gauge the natural fall, cuts using a freehand sculpting technique, and thoroughly cross-checks. The Result: This method optimizes the cut for your specific head shape rather than just following a cookie-cutter pattern. It creates natural texture within the cut itself, saving time on point-cutting or texturizing later. Other details you will notice: * Sanitation: Hygiene is on point; he changes out his straight razor blades for every single client. * Detailing: He is efficient, but he doesn't rush the finish. He does multiple rounds of detailing with the trimmers to catch any strays and clean up the perimeter. * The Transition: His scissor work connects the top and sides smoothly for a solid blend. I wouldn't say the fades are 100% perfect, but they are a solid 98%. Given the volume he handles and his efficiency, the execution is exceptional. Like I said, I'm not vain about my hair, I just appreciate good work and quality care. I trust Trieu's skills completely.

But I'm saying you can get a quality cut for a the most reasonable price EVER ($23 + tip).
