I have had several hair units done by Wade. He knows what he is doing but absolutely has no respect for his client's time. He requires you to be one time and forfeit your deposit if you are late; however, Wade will routinely keep you waiting and has even left out the shop knowing he has a appointment and you are left waiting for him to return. Not good business and respect for his clients read more

So I was on the hunt a DMV barber. One who was versatile and had extreme skills not only with men's cuts, but with the ladies as well. Anyone who's been on the same hunt as I was on knows that this isn't always an easy task!!! I decided to go to Instagram to look for my new barber and I came across Wade. I went to the website and was able to make an appointment for his newest location (in Hyattsville) in a matter of minutes. Parking was easy as there was ample street parking right in front of the shop (Meter parking that is, so make sure you've got cash that jingles!). The shop, although small, was very trendy. I loved the exposed brick and decor. There looked to be about 4 stations for barber/stylists, which I also loved because I hate being in overly crowded (overly loud) shops. It was a perfect fit. Wade was prompt and didn't have a long line of people waiting to get in his chair. Once he finished the guy who he was currently in his chair, he was ready for me. This is EXTREMELY important for me, because as someone who truly values their time, I hate to have to wait long periods of time when I already have an appointment. And time is not something that all barbers/stylists value of their customers. Once I sat in Wade's chair, I told him (kinda, sorta) the look I was going for. Even though I wasn't 100% able to describe it, he nailed it. I was completely satisfied with my cut there. I'll definitely be back again. If you're looking for a DC area barber, you should definitely give Wade a call! read more

See all

Absolutely love Terry! Good Barber! Kids are always pleased with their cuts. He takes his time even on children! He truthfully should charge more for the quality of work. Nice, polite, and overall great customer service! Not sure why the ratings are so low. Remember you can pick your own barber. Go to their website. First barber shop that I've been to that was so advanced with technology. Pretty Cool! read more

Great service experience was excellent love my hair cut . Macy is a true professional who loves her clients listens to them and works with their life style read more

I came to DC from the best barber in VA. The trip was killing me so I needed to find a high quality barber with similar range and skill. I found that in Joe. Anyone who's complaining is frugal and doesn't value self care highly enough. If you value self care and the environment in which that takes place, this is the right shop for you. read more

This barbershop is deplorable and shouldn't be in our neighborhood. I've been living in the Arts District for over 5 years and every time I just want a simple cut these uppity barbers send me through hoops. It's not like I'm asking for a hair unit. These guys are obviously too busy to serve the needs of the neighborhood. I hope this business closes or moves from our community REAL FAST. read more

I booked an appointment for July 2019 with Wade for the custom 3-4 month unit. As a student I was really nervous about doing it, as our peers can be super critical and notice stuff easily. After much research on ig I thought this shop would be best to try out this procedure. He was booked through september when I reached out to his assistant, but she offered me a "fit-in" day where he takes clients on an off day. I accepted, paid the deposit through paypal and booked my trip from the midwest. note: the "fit-in" appointment came at a premium of $200, total $700 for the style. I arrive a few days early to take in the harbor and restaurants, then the morning of my appointment I started getting texts from Wade saying he needs to move my appointment up because he has a flight, his assistant mixed up the itinerary etc. by the time I woke up it was 2hours before my original appt. I was skeptical about this because he agreed to the appt and had weeks to make adjustments. There was an unprofessional (imo) exchange of how he's doing neva favor by doing the "fit-in" appt. anyway, but it's not a favor when it's a service you're paid for and charge an additional $200 cost for, and agreed to!! #thegheeeeetto I arrive earlier than my booked time. The energy was weird and I felt awkward because he held the upper hand, me being there to get this service from out of state and me needing it done before going back to school for fall19, I felt anxious expressing my feelings. When I did he made passive aggressive jokes about getting heated at me questioning the error and him being rushed to do my procedure. Then more than 75% of the time i'm there he's taking personal calls, receiving clothing and shoe deliveries while my top is peeled back.. In my opinion male pattern baldness for younger men, men in general can be a self esteem struggle and I thought this process had more privacy to it. Granted the small room was in the back once you walk pass the other barbers, but if you're talking to everyone and ppl are just pullin up on my appointment does anyone think of how that might make the customer feel?? sheesh.. Further, they have you send photos, and include a photo from their site so they can visualize what they're doing. I went into detail of my texture of hair, when I got there and he did the procedure, he made a comment about trying to match my hair. Then the hair he put on my head didn't match mine, so I had to leave my actual hair in the tapered cut frizzy and bed head-ish for it to match the coarser texture he put on. My head/forehead and hairline was not any worse than those on his website he'd previously done that turned out great, however, I ended up with something else. It was a dub for me, the front wasn't "melted" like my friend calls it to look natural, so up close it looked like some curly hairs just laid on my hairline in front not a line up. It was just not good tbh. After a month and I wasn't outside a lot to be sweating due to a surgery, it seemed to be snatching back and my five head(lol) was showing. I can't recommend this service, I have heard bad stories about black salons and the unprofessional nature of some barbershops; ig. having appointments but still waiting pass your time before being serviced etc. but this is on another level, this is a specialized service that comes at a premium and nothing about it felt special or premium. read more

I've been going to Terry for a year now, and he's the only barber I trust to give me the cut I want. I'm able to schedule appointments online, he's on time, and very precise. Highly recommend him! read more

One of the hardest thing about relocation is finding a barber you trust. I've been coming to Terry a little under a year now and he's become one of the best barbers I've ever had. Very communicative and tries to make sure he's always available for you. Highly recommend! read more

Terrible service!! I feel cheated. Wade the so called barber, did a TERRIBLE JOB!! Unit came off the same day, not professional at all, wasn't blended in well at all. I'm disgusted and will never ever ever use this company again!!!!!!!! Please don't go there! He put glue on my head and slapped pubic hair on my head and cut that shit!! That's disgusting!!!!!! Please DON'T GO TO WADE THE BARBER!!!!!!! read more

Place is super pretentious.... went in to get a beard shape up... would've literally taken 10 min TOPS... I was willing to wait my turn obviously, but I was told they are appointment only. I get it.. appointment only... but for something as small as I was getting done, most places would've made accommodations to me... the customer. The place wasn't exactly bustling with customers when I went either... I was actually kind of confused. Like one of the previous reviewers stated, I'll just go to one of the other 1000 barbers in the area lol... read more

I made an appointment and didn't write it down or put on my calendar. My fault - i totally admit. So, I missed the appointment (which was for a Saturday), and on the following Monday I got a nasty sounding email stating that I OWED them the price of the hair service, and that cost was going to be added on to my bill should I book and receive service from them in the future. REALLY?!?! Ok, so how about you be a little more forgiving and until then,i'll just go to one of the other 1000 or so barbershops in the DMV area. SMH read more

I've been going to Terry at W Hair Loft Hyattsville for about 14 months now. Excellent barber. Always great conversation. I always appreciate Terry taking his time, giving me superb service, and accommodating me when I'm in need. When you have enough confidence in your barber that you don't have to check your hair in the mirror after your haircut, that's always a good feeling. Though I've recently moved, I still make the 40 minute drive every week to get my haircut by Terry. read more

Got a cut from Wade, the shop owner, and it was probably the best cut I have had in my life. It's an appointment only location and they provide a higher quality cut than most barbers in the area. If you have a special event like a wedding or graduation this is the place to go. It is very hard to book an appointment on their website the software is not very good and you should plan to book it as far in advance as possible as appointment times are difficult to get - but it's worth it read more
