Been here a few times before or after a movie. The inside is just a normal barber shop- nothing fancy and most of the time everyone's working. The haircut is very good but then again I am not asking to do something elaborate- usually just razor and some cuts on top. One ding is they only take cash or check which is a bummer. The cash price, to be fair, is less than surrounding places so I guess they are passing the savings to customers I guess. read more

I had come here in the past and disliked the quality, but decided to give them another try. This was a huge mistake. The male barber talked to a coworker nonstop throughout the entire cut, not paying attention to my hair. I instructed him clearly before hand to not cut certain parts of my hair that I was growing out which he ignored. When I questioned him after, he denied it, and could only fully confirm when I got home. These is what makes people lose trust in barbers. read more

The location is perfect. I stay at the Marriott hotel next door, and frequently get my hair cut on business trips through this area. Alex does a great job, and he is efficient, with no wasted time, and great results. The place is bright and clean, and the price is too good to be true. I also appreciate that he takes walk in customers, and the wait is never too long. read more

See all

Great walk-in barber. Never waited more than 5 mins and haven't had a bad cut yet. CASH or check only

absolute botch job. literally every side of my hair/head is uneven and different lengths. we agreed on cutting one inch- just to end up with one inch of hair left. she was ripping the hair out of my head with her comb (which i wouldn't mind if my haircut wasn't fucked up). there was absolutely no professionalism, and used an electric razor to cut my hair after i told her "that's enough, i'm ok" she continued and would not stop. i felt humiliated. read more

Regardless of who I've had my hair cut, or my needier teenage son, we have both had awesome experiences from this shop. I'm in my 30's working in the DOD/gov't market, and I have been given precision cuts each time. My son who is much more style forward for his age is very satisfied with his more complicated modern male cuts.. read more

I took my son to get his haircut and Alex did a fantastic job! He is the first chair on the left as you walk in. He was very understanding and easy to communicate with the haircut I wanted. He was gentle and patient with a young boy who doesn't sit still and shakes his head. He took his time and asked for feedback. He was very skilled at cutting hair, especially my young boy. I would recommend Alex. The ultimate test was my wife's approval. Thanks Alex! read more

I'm very particular with my haircuts as I get a fade and still have long hair on top. I just moved to to the area and this is the 3rd place I found and this is the place I'll continue to go to!! Not sure why there are other poor reviews as this place knows how to cut hair! Price is $19 and could easily charge more. Great spot! read more

I got my haircut here around 6pm today, there were three Barbers and all were busy when I arrived. But no one was ahead of me waiting so I only had to wait 5 minutes. The haircut I received was great but the real reason I'm giving four stars is the level to which the barber engaged with me to ask questions about how I wanted certain things cut/styled. I'm certainly not someone who tells the barber in detail what I want -- typically just the number along the sides and inches along the top with a fade; it's not a terribly difficult haircut to give. Nevertheless the barber asked me about styling and how I wanted sideburns and the back of the haircut handled. Additionally, he used a hot shave and spent a good 5 to 10 minutes making at the end making small adjustments to ensure it was up to his standards. The entire experience felt very thorough and professional. read more

Great place. Seen the location was close to my hotel. I am impressed. The barber brought me in, asked how I needed my hair and went straight to work. I was impressed at how he wanted to ensure no hair was out of place. Cost is a little above average and wait is maybe 15 minutes. read more

I have tried this barber several times and every time I have regretted using the place. The prices are on par for the area but the cut is not great. My son and I never seem to get the cut we ask for. I have tried several different barbers in the establishment and get the same result. read more

Two months ago I walked in and was seated. I went last week and waited 20 minutes. Every minute was worth it. Old school barbershop where a lot of local professionals go after work. If you're like them, expect a respectable 15 minute wait post-work on weekdays. They cycle through quickly with 4 barbers though. I've had four separate barbers each time I went, and every time the haircut was better than expected. You can't go wrong. One of those places you don't want to post a review for because you know it'll get slammed. read more

I tried this place once because it's closer to me then my normal barber. One of the younger guys here cut my hair and did an awful job. He cut it a style I didn't want and nothing like what I had told him. He was constantly stopping and texting on his phone the whole time. He also kept walking away to call someone. I definitely don't recommend this place! read more

I come here every month to get my haircuts and get my haircuts done by Andy. He takes very good care of me, and always takes his time, no matter how busy it is. And trust me, this place can get busy. It's even worse when a bunch of the other guys before you are also waiting on your preferred barber (if you have one). But that's because most of these guys do not rush when doing your hair, and pay close attention to details. There were times where I've waited 1.5 hours. But hey, a bunch of us like Andy! All the barbers are friendly. I think this place is best for those who are looking for more simple cuts. I don't get anything fancy, usually just a comb over with a fade. Sometimes I'll want to try something a little different, and Andy is always willing to try it out. If you're looking for some really fancy schmancy haircut, then maybe it's best you go to some salon. Also keep in mind that this place only accepts cash. read more

First hair cut was pretty decent and but when I went second time with the same barber it's disaster.

I was recommended by a friend to go to this barber. I am very particular about who cuts my hair because most people just can't get it right. I'll give most people a few tries to get used to my head and hair, but Ken is right on the money every single time. I've gotten my hair cut by a couple of the other barbers in his shop and they did a good job, as well. Everyone is very, very friendly and is truly accommodating and appreciative of their customer's patronage. The shop is very clean and looks brand new, unlike a lot of the other local barber shops in the area. I used to pay $25 or more for a cut so I have no problem leaving $20 for a $12 haircut that is better than anywhere else I have been. I'm moving to Falls Church in a couple months, but I'll have to find a way to keep getting my cuts from here. read more

Have been a customer of this place for several years now. And Andy is my go to guy for any type of haircut. I have recommended this place to lot of my friends and co-workers. Worth waiting especially on weekends as they tend to get busy. They are open every day of the week and only accept cash and cheque. read more

Worldgate Barber - Barbers Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

I have been here twice and I am sold on these guys. I have had bad experiences with a handful of barbershops in the area but this place makes up for it. I usually don't get anything terribly hard to do. I get a medium fade, not too high (point where I want it to start), rounded sides not square, and a trim on top. I have short hair so I go with a three or two on top. Everywhere I have been it has been crooked, patches left uncut, square like a flat top, or ridiculously high on a medium fade! The search has been for almost two years for the right barber shop and the search has ended with Worldgate Barbers!!! I have tried two different guys at this place just to see what they would do and get a feel of who is good. Usually there is one or two guys that are really good and the rest you don't want them to touch your hair ever. This not the case here. These guys are patient and good at what they do. My haircut is now a side part fade/bald cut fade and they have nailed it both times. You guys have a new customer indeed. read more

Ken the barber is AWESOME! He is the only one that gets what I want for my haircut. he takes his time and never rushes. Place is clean and everyone is friendly. read more

I went in for a bread trim and the guy told me to come back in 15 mins and I did then he said another 15 mins. Finally he sat me down for a dry bread trim and cut my face with the razor. I recommend not getting any bread trim in this place unless you want your face sliced :/ read more

I stopped by today for a lunchtime hair cut, they did a good job keeping to what I asked for in my haircut. They are a cash/check only place, so be sure to be ready for that (pretty standard around this area). Only complaint would be that they need to do some heavy vacuuming in there, there's hair pushed into corners that could easily be cleaned up. Otherwise, beyond that cosmetic problem, I'd recommend stopping by if you need a trimming. read more

Good haircuts and price. Take their time no matter what the cut, for me a buzz. Takes cash only. read more

From out of town, found this place by accident. Lucky break for me! Top notch service and detail with affordable pricing. Personable staff and very clean. Should I ever need a haircut when Im back around this way, Im coming straight here read more

seriously, wtf did you do to my husband's hair? twice, he's gotten cuts that are so incredibly bad i have to ask myself if the barber is that inept or that drunk. there's no consistency in length except where clippers were used. seriously pissed. read more

Quick, nice, sweet experience I have with a hair cut! The price is great! But remember, cash only! Will come back in the future!

Twice I have had bad haircuts, with different barbers. The second time I had to find another barber, who confirmed the previous haircut was terrible. No more chances read more

Kent cut my hair way back when he was at a previous barber shop. As his previous client, he told me he was opening up a shop at Worldgate. I've been going to this place ever since it opened and haven't had a bad cut from anyone there. read more

I like the location, the people there, and the haircut that I received. The reason for the two stars is for cleanliness. Every good barber I've ever been to will sweep up after every cut, this didn't happen at worldgate. I had to wade through multiple haircuts worth of hair to get to the chair, not fun when you are in sandals. There was also a good bit of hair under every work station and all over every clipper, brush, and comb in the shop. There was a lot of hair to start with on the floor, but I also watched at least 6 people walk out after their cut without a broom coming out. The chairs are also very close together. The barber cutting next to me was using a blow dryer to get the hair off his customer, since he wasn't careful when he did this I caught the air from the blow dryer along with some of the hair from my neighbor. I'm not comfortable sitting in a pool of other people's hair, I'll have to find another barber. read more

Great haircut, friendly staff and great price. Lots of people coming in for haircuts and the staff seemed to do a great job focusing on good haircuts and customers feel it's worth the wait. read more

Probably the only time I've really been satisfied with my haircut was when I came here. My friend used to go here so he told me about it before so I decided to give it a try. I forgot my barbers name but he also had a comb over so he finessed mine! Gave me tips on how to take care of it and had some small talk really cool dude. 15$ plus tip which is worth it I'll definitely be back here when ever I need the scissors again. read more

I get my haircut here every two weeks and although I go to the same guy, every single person in here tries to give you the best haircut each and every time. They take their time, are never rushed, and are passionate about what they do. On top of that, it's only $15! Be sure to bring cash and give a good tip. They won't disappoint. read more

Awesome spot! All the barbers are Vietnamese and have amazing attention to detail for the price. Make sure you bring cash for their $14 flat rate, because they do not accept credit cards. I get a pretty basic cut, but they still habitually spend a ton of time making sure everything is symmetrical, tight, and in order. I've spent primo bucks at PR Partners and also gone to the typical spots like Hair Cuttery, but this place has been the most impressive in regards to value and consistency. read more

This is the only place to go. Great haircuts and a friendly comfortable atmosphere.

These folks are Great!!! I've got nothing but stellar service here and will continue to go back... Thank you for making a difference... -Brian read more

This is the worst barber i ever been to, asian barbers arent capable of cutting hair but on othe asian. All i asked is for a little trim and the cut like a chunk of hair. They cant even do a decent hair cut. read more

I told him how I wanted my haircut and he did a great job!! Bringing in my sons there also for their next haircut..

I heard this was a good place to get your hair cut having just moved to Herndon from Dallas. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed by the experience. I had a guy named Ken who was nice enough but didn't cut the way I wanted. I told him three times not too short on sides as my hair is thinning. I don't know if language was an issue. Final straw was they would not take a credit card "because it costs them too much on one cut." Sort of rude I thought. I pay everything with my debit card to track my expenses. I will need to find another option in Herndon. read more

Great haircut every time - and every time for me is every week. Excellent service and love the sports options on the TV's while you wait. Really happy I found this place and have recommended to others. Awesome price and feels good to support a local small business. read more
