    I honestly think the clipper job I did on myself during the pandemic was far better. So disappointed.

    If I had left a review for pro barber before today, it would've been five stars. The gentleman who normally does a phenomenal job of cutting my hair wasn't there today though, and I received one of the weirdest haircuts I've ever had. I asked for clippers on back and sides with a fade, and blended into a scissor cut on top (I typically rock a combover). I asked specifically for Hana (not sure the spelling) to be careful with my receding hairline, which she was and I appreciate that. But good lord, the back of my head has never looked so bad. What in the world was she thinking? And how could it be SO much different and worse from my other experiences here? To the management, I recommend trying to find a way to improve consistency across the staff. I'm going to have to go to another barber to fix this, and I certainly won't be doing the 1.5 hour round trip from Rockville anymore. So disappointed. Edit: I just discovered that she absolutely butchered my left sideburn. Included a photo. Now I have to shave my beard, in the middle of winter. So so so disappointing.

    Haircut

    I walked in and was greeted by every single barber and barberess, it felt so friendly and welcoming from the first step in the door. Though i can't recall the gentlemen's name, i can recall that he has now given me two incredible haircuts and experiences back-to-back. I can't speak for his peers, but i'm confident that their talents are at least on par by the ear-to-ear grins from the guests leaving their chairs. A stellar experience and a modest price for their amazing work. I couldn't ask for a better set of hair professions.

    Lots of parking

    Awesome haircut. Probably the best outside of Japan. Ladies working there are hard working attentive pros! I was in town, having a big meeting next day but I had a big bush on my head, desperately needing haircut. and saw this barber right off highway. Pretty of parking space. I walked in and was greeted with friendly folks. Everyone said "hi". There were a few people waiting before me but I was served fast. Cut was excellent, very professional and with soft touch. I have rather sensitive scalp and I was well taken care. Nice scalp massage was a nice touch. Price was kit right and walked out feeling awesome. They cut hair for kids, adults, anyone and everyone, and felt very confident. This is a true gem.

    Great barbershop At the time I went with my 13 and 12 year old sons, there were three barbers. Very friendly! Don't expect to be in and out as they take their time to properly cut your hair. Gave the rating 4 of 5 due to limited of space and organization once the shop is full with customers as more customers arrive they depart believing is going to take a very long time. Happy with the haircut for all of us and will be returning. I recommend you give this place a shot.

    I'll be back.

    First time customer. Let me begin with the layout, they have nice new leather barber chairs, floors were clean and swept after every cut. There were a couple LCDs with CNN on in the background as white noise. The establishment is mostly asian women. Don't be scared; you're probably thinking, how the hell can they fade? Well, my barber was very firm with her hand, and was able to give me a 1/16" drop fade with square sideburns and an inch scissor cut off the top. The haircut felt like a 30 minute scalp massage. They give you a free hot towel, and razor with cream straight shave with the haircut. Will definitely be back next time I am in town

    The best barber cut I have ever received in the Springfield Alexandria area!! You cannot get a better cut value anywhere else. I went to 6 different shops and I finally found this location!

    My fav new barbershop in Springfield
    Rocky B.

    I like it. Friend recommended this place in Springfield and now I have new fav barber spot whenever I'm in Springfield. Asked for an undercut for hooked up plus they give a little head massage also. I'm pretty picky but have been open to new places and this place is a repeat.

    If I could give zero stars, I would. I deliberately waited several days before writing this review…read morebecause I wanted to cool down, get used to the haircut, and try styling it several different ways before deciding how I felt. Unfortunately, I am just as upset now as I was when I left. I had been growing my hair for FOUR YEARS, and I could not have been clearer with Jack about what I wanted. I showed him multiple photos, explained exactly what I liked about them, and repeatedly told him that preserving my length was extremely important to me. Looking back, the first red flag should have been that he barely looked at my reference photos for more than a couple of seconds before saying, essentially, "Yeah, yeah, I know what you want." Apparently, he did not. I asked for long layers and a few soft, face-framing pieces while keeping my length. Instead, Jack proceeded to cut and cut and cut. I repeatedly expressed concern about how much hair he was taking off, and each time he reassured me, "These are just layers. I'm not touching your length." Technically, I suppose he can claim that he "kept the length" because he left one thin, long section at the very bottom. But the overwhelming majority of my hair is now significantly shorter. From the back, the remaining length comes down into a thin V. From the front, instead of the subtle face-framing pieces I specifically requested, the bulk of my hair looks almost like a bob with a few long pieces hanging underneath it. That is not what I asked for. It is not remotely what the reference photos showed. What bothered me almost as much as the haircut itself was that he could clearly tell I was unhappy, yet instead of acknowledging that the cut was dramatically different from what I had requested, he kept reassuring me about how "healthy" and "sexy" it looked and insisting that he had kept my length. Whether he thought the haircut looked good was completely beside the point. It wasn't the haircut I asked for. I am extremely nonconfrontational, so unfortunately I didn't advocate for myself as strongly as I wish I had in the chair. I paid, even tipped him, went home, and cried. When my husband and friend saw my hair, their immediate reactions were essentially, "Oh my God, what did he do?" But perhaps the most unbelievable moment came near the end of the haircut, when Jack asked me whether I wear my hair straight very often. He then told me that the haircut he was giving me wouldn't look as good blown out and was better suited to wearing my hair naturally. Excuse me? That is a conversation you have with a client BEFORE you cut off years of hair growth, not when you're almost finished. If a haircut is going to limit how I can wear my hair, I should be told that beforehand so I can decide whether I want that haircut. To make matters worse, after this happened I spoke to a friend who told me she had gone to Jack last year and had a remarkably similar experience--she felt that he kept trying to take her hair much shorter than she wanted as well. A stylist can absolutely have professional opinions and make recommendations. But ultimately, it is the client's hair. If someone repeatedly tells you that keeping their length is their highest priority and brings photographs showing exactly what they want, you don't get to disregard that because you personally think another haircut would look better. I went in expecting a trim, long layers, and subtle face framing. I walked out having lost years of growth and with a haircut I specifically did not ask for. I genuinely think I would have been better off giving myself a trim with kitchen scissors. Now I get to spend the next several years growing my hair back to where it was. Needless to say, I will never return, and I absolutely would not recommend Jack--especially to anyone with long hair who is particular about preserving their length.

I'm asthmatic... and a quick 30 mins later I was sent on my way without being given a chance to view the cut in a mirror. There was no effort to remove all the spiky short hairs that covered my face, neck and clothes. I've felt like a dog with fleas all day.... And I'm mortified I have to leave home with this miserable attempt of a haircut. Honestly, how do hairdressers keep their licenses when they do work like this? I called the salon and expressed my tearful frustration, ask to have someone else to fix my hair or refund my money. Well, customer service isn't one of their long suits either. I'm a 74 year-old disabled woman who's just moved across country. The best that the salon could offer is for me to come in at 7:15 Saturday morning or wait until Monday, the day of my move. No, they can't refund the debit card I used to pay $100 ($75 haircut & $25 tip). If I want my money back, I have to drive back over to their salon and retrieve my refund. I have to pay a barber to fix my hair because salon no longer know how to cut hair. Instead, I will be filing a complaint with my bank.
