Came here for the first time a few days ago and really had a great haircut experience. Scott was great and conversational! He really likes his clients involved in their haircut which is why I came out of his shop with a great haircut! There was some great background music as well. Scott sadly let me know that he will be retiring within the next couple months. If you want to catch him for a great cut before his well-deserved retirement, stop on in soon! read more

Affordable, quality men's haircuts. I visited Scott's Barber Shop at 9:30 on a Friday morning, and there were two other customers on the premises. Scott's Barber Shop doesn't allow appointments, and the haircuts are provided on a walk-in basis only. Classic pop music played over the speakers while I visited. It appears that Scott is a one-man operation, but he performs haircuts so efficiently that you don't have long to wait. I only waited about 15 minutes to be seated, and my haircut was equally fast. Scott trimmed my hair precisely to my specifications. I would highly recommend Scott's Barber Shop for men's haircuts. read more

Excellent barber, and I had just walked in, visiting the area for a few days. We rely on Yelp for most anything service related when on the road. Alas, he's soon to retire after 30 years, 26 of them in this place. I think that his many "regulars" will miss Scott. Certainly I would! Hope he enjoys his hard-earned time in retirement! read more

i've been going to Scott's barbershop for over 18 months. He is the best barber in Charlottesville for ex veterans. He will cut your hair to specifications you want. Scott is an honorary retired veteran and gives us veterans the cheapest haircuts possible. And all other citizens wanting a cheap and excellent haircut. Thank you, Scott. Great job. read more

Great and friendly service. Scott did a great job on what I needed for a fresh cut. Happy to have my first experience here at a barber shop. very fair prices although Scott insisted that this cut was on the house. I'll be back! read more

Scott is quick and polite. He knows what he's doing and the prices are totally reasonable. I'll definitely be coming back for as long as he's doing business here! read more

Was not wearing mask correctly, called this "so called pandemic". I walked out. No need for this risk or the ranting.

Good haircut, nice manager, very fair price. Definitely would recommend Scott's barber shop!

Used to go here as a kid some and actually got my first buzz cut from Scott. Then through the years I just went to other places usually just because of convenience to home, work or school whatever the situation was each time I needed a hair cut. I got my first hair cut from Scott back in the early summer a few weeks after barber shops and salons reopened. My hair was getting to the point where I get it cut and my usual more expensive place I go had limited hours and it was hard to fit it into my schedule. So I went to Scott. Nobody ahead of me so he saw me right away. What he charges is probably all the hair cut I always get should cost but I prefer the person I usually go to. I wouldn't rule out coming back since he did a great job and the price was very reasonable. Just beware, you might not share the same opinions on covid-19 so if you have a conversation with him don't bring that up. read more

Scott is a top notch barber. No BS, just a good haircut. I've been going to him for over a year now. I highly recommend.

Kind, friendly, easy to communicate. Excellent hair cut. Will be returning. Glad I found this place.

What a nice experience my son and I had at Scott's! We were on a visit from Atlanta, Georgia, and my son wanted a haircut. Scott was so friendly, took us in 20 minutes before closing time and gave my 15 y/o son one of the best cuts he's ever had! He was so nice to chat with, too. I highly recommend him and his barbering skills! read more

Great haircuts today for two young boys! Scott is a very patient and meticulous barber. Highly recommend!

Unprofessional is best way to describe my experience at this barber shop. I would recommend going anywhere else, unless you enjoy a side of derision with your hopefully completed haircut. Based on the good reviews my partner and I went to this barber shop for a haircut. We got there, the shop was completely empty and the music had been turned off, but it was the middle of a workday so I figured it might be a slow time. As mentioned in other reviews the prices were inexpensive, with a $14 cash price for a haircut and a $16 charge price. The problems started almost as soon as my partner sat down, and he couldn't immediately remember how short he usually got his bangs cut to, or what setting the clippers should be at. the guy (who I presume is the owner) started berating him for "not knowing how you get your hair cut". Not that he didn't know what style (short on the sides and back, longer in the top due to cowlick) but because he didn't know the exact length he wanted right from the start. It hadn't occurred to either of us to ask his normal stylist what setting he uses on the clippers before we moved. That would have been bad enough, but my partner has anxiety and as most people know, if someone with anxiety is having trouble explaining something, and then they get mocked for that difficulty, it just makes the situation worse. Then my partner asks me to pull up a picture of what his haircut normally looks like, and the barber immediately states "I don't do pictures, you need to tell me what you want done, how do you not know how you want your hair cut". So then my partner asked if the barber could clip it to what my partner thought was the right length, and then just take more off if that was too long. The barber's response was "well if I have to keep clipping and clipping it takes longer and I need to charge more", at which point he starts constantly deriding my partner for not knowing the settings on the clippers. Now, I can understand being frustrated when a client doesn't know exactly what they want, but mocking someone for it is incredibly unprofessional. I could also understand rushing someone if they had been there a while, or if people had been waiting. However the shop was still completely empty at this point, and my partner had been in the barber's chair for less than 10 minutes. So the barber was constantly mocking someone for not remember the exact measurements of something while refusing to look at a picture of it. At the same time he was talking about how low his haircuts were while simultaneously saying he'd have to charge more if he had to cut more than once. At that point I was really fed up with his derogatory attitude and was texting my partner to check if I could just tell the guy we'd go elsewhere and pay him for the partial haircut he did, when the guy declares he won't charge us for the haircut but we're going to have to go somewhere else. At which point I said thank you to whatever deity got us out of there before I called him out on being incredibly insulting and rude while he still had my partner in the chair. We ended up going to a Hair Cuttery (chain) where they had no problem using a picture as a reference and working with my partner to salvage his haircut. In all fairness, the barber didn't force us to pay for the half-done haircut when he told us to leave. That said, I highly, highly recommend going there or really anywhere else; I'd rather pay more for a finished product than pay a few bucks less for something left unfinished. TLDR: The barber was really insulting when my partner didn't remember the clipper settings or bang length, refused to look at pictures for reference, tell you he will have to charge you more if he needs to clip or cut more than once. He may also kick you out if you don't know exactly what you want or take more than 10 minutes, even if the establishment is completely empty. He does have low prices though, so if you know exactly what you want and you're willing to risk that he does it right the first time, this place might be a good deal for you. read more

The shop was clean, the barber wore a mask and my husband felt comfortable the whole time. Hubby said it was the best cut - fade, that he's had in a long time. Scott listened to him and cut his hair exactly how he wanted him to. read more

Great cut and very friendly service! Walked right in and sat down. Very affordable and plenty of parking!

Scott is as good as it gets - he makes sure to understand exactly what you want and executes it to perfection, or in my case, better than I could have asked for. Thanks again! read more

Fast, even clipper cut, fade was flawless, priced right, used a straight blade and barber was nice.

Great barber, great prices, and quick cuts. I will definitely be back to visit him. Lots of parking in the back too.

Scott is an excellent barber and a really nice guy! Stopped in for my first haircut there recently. Park behind the building. Support him vs the chain places. Was met with a friendly greeting by Scott, who does all haircuts himself. Listened to what I wanted and did a great job! He did not go too short as "we can cut more off but can't put it back on." Many barbers cut too much off, not the case here! I offered a credit card to pay. Scott apologized and advised his cc machine was down today. I told him I would make an ATM run and come right back. Scott told me not to worry about it now, just asked me to swing back by another time when I was in the area. I had $10 cash and offered that for now and the balance later. Scott refused the $10 stating "oh no you take that and go get something to eat." I assured him I would be back to settle with him and definitely for another haircut! Thanks Scott!! read more

Good basic haircut at a fair price. Previous detractor Liz is a business owner's worst self important Yelper "Elite" nightmare and the post/essay contained TMI and was tedious and not useful...just another angry young person with issues and too much time on his/her hands. read more

Great barber who does what you want and doesn't charge you like a salon. I have been going to Scott for over 20 years and highly recommend.

This was my first time at Scott's; it won't be my last. He made sure he knew what haircut I wanted, and he gave me just that. Scott himself is friendly. We had a low-key and pleasant conversation during the haircut. The shop is small and cozy. Classic rock was playing. There was ample parking behind the shop. Good experience. read more

Great cut with good conversation, quick cut. Scott does a great job and was willing to see me with 10 minutes to go before he closed. I will definitely be back read more

I have been going to Scott's for over 22 years. So I might qualify as his oldest customer. Best barber, and nicest guy in town. Vince read more

Scott is a real barber. Good guy. Quick, effective, cheap, friendly, real. Like the good ol' days. has special deals--buy a bunch of haircuts for a set up front fee (like 50 bucks buys you 6, i think) and he keeps track of them in a handheld little spiral notebook.. read more

Fast, affordable and well done standard men's cut. I've found it hard in cville to get a haircut that isn't too short and where I feel like the barber is actually listening to what I want. Found that here. read more

I was in town for a wedding and wanted to get my hair cleaned up. Stopped by middle of the day on a Friday and was in and out in 15 minutes. Scott was friendly, gave a good haircut and straight razor shave all for $20. read more

Solid haircut, gd parking around back, seldom much of a wait, and the guy that cuts your hair owns the place. Reasonably priced. Better cut for a man than a salon at less than half the price. read more

I was staying in Charlottesville for a few weeks and needed a haircut. Walked into Scott's barber shop and noticed it was cash only. I only had credit card and told Scott I had no cash. He said "sit down and it's no problem". I was blown away. No one has ever offered me a free haircut. I thanked Scott and came back later to pay for the haircut which was great. Scott is a great guy and recommend this place for a haircut anytime you are in Charlottesville VA. Great!!! read more

Great experience, no waiting and straight forward with great prices! We'll be back! Scott listens to what you want and delivers!

I have been going to Scott's for several years. Scott is very good at what he does and I always enjoy talking with him. Although Scott has regular hours there have been times I needed him to stay a little later and he has always been accommodating. As others have mentioned, his prices are reasonable and he even offers senior rates for over 60! I would highly recommend Scott to anyone looking for a barber. read more

Very nice! He only takes cash...didn't have it on me and let me have my haircut with paying him the next time or afterwards. Stepping in his shop is the way things "used to be!" Great haircut..reasonable price!. read more
