My husband and I are new to the area and stopped in. The filthiest shop you’ve ever seen. He came out with uneven hair on his beard and hairline, and covered in other people’s hair. Please clean this gross place head to toe, and train your barbers.

Don’t really know what I expected when I went there for the first time last night but I did not think I’d leave with the worst haircut I could recall in my entire adult life. I said I wanted a fringe up, a bit fuller and pushed up in the front of my hair and lightly buzzed but NOT to the scalp. That my hair was just a mess in some parts and I needed it cleaned up. Tried making it sound as simple and nonchalant as possible. So let me know why I ended up with my hair cut the shortest it has ever been right up to my literal scalp? Did my guy only hear the words “buzz” and “scalp” and ignore everything else I said about a fringe up? It looks ridiculous. I’m too nice not to leave a tip and my barber was friendly and I can tell he just tried and poorly misinterpreted my directions, but this was a disaster and I’m only ashamed that I was too spineless and weak to not directly tell him that myself. This is an obvious hit or miss kind of barbershop and I unfortunately took a huge L last night.

Went for a haircut on a weekday afternoon, got immediately seated, with Cesar. Good haircut, trim on sides and clip at top. Three barbers then, so many options, good amount of parking. Did get a razor burn at back of neck, so docking a star Went for a shave also, but forgot in Usa, the shaving cream is rare and they do many rounds to achieve the shave, good end result though.

Worst place ever. Walked in with my 2 boys. Parked sat in the lot no one walked in b4 I did. Went in sat down I greeted em no one acknowledged. Sat there waited n waited several folks walked in and was attended to. Barbers appointed guess to other fellow barbers. Still I waited. A gentleman walked in stated that he called 10 mis prior n was attended too right away. Here I am over 30 minutes in seated with my kids awaiting my turn. Barbers just sitting around. I left after feeling disrespect, disgusted and humiliated. I could have simply be told that my kids are not welcome in the place of business.

Cool place unlike the other noisy ones that I have seen. Sophea was straight to the work and kept me comfortable talking while remaining focused on her work. The haircut was over in a jiffy! I didn't feel anything - no itching, no burns, no cuts - just shows how skilled she is in her job. If you are looking for a hair job in the College Park area, this is your place.

I grew up during a time when the ritual of going to the barbershop meant you were going to learn, talk with, debate with, and be around positive people (men). Being that I kept a clean shaven face and head for over 20 years. When I decided to let my hair grow, I needed to find a place that I'd feel comfortable going into. This place has more than met my expectations. The owner is a man that offers much in the way of conversation and opportunities for young men, looking to work, be around positive men, or a young man (student) that's trying to make a couple of dollars. I highly recommend this barbershop.

Rich did me right. Thanks for the great first professional haircut since February. Laid-back atmosphere and fast cut. Ill be back.

James is a very excellent barber with kindness and patience. He is very professional and will give you an awesome haircut. Please ask for James he is super. I am still getting compliments on my hair and it's been over 3 weeks.

This is an excellent barber shop. The gentleman cutting my hair, James, gave me a fade so sharp you would think I'm back in the Army! Definitely call ahead for an appointment though as they're very busy, probably due to how great they are!

Very disappointed! I went in looking to find a new barbershop to replace my old one who had fallen down and left me hanging. I was directed to a colorful young man with a mohawk and lots of jewelry. I asked for a modified mohawk and felt confident he would be able to deliver since he was also sporting the same style. My faith was misplaced. I was going to show him pictures of how I wanted my hair cut; but he didn't want to see them saying he knew how to cut it. He was lying or wrong... He was really rough with the clippers and kept hitting my ears. He was talking with everyone else in the shop; but said nothing to me as a new potential customer in his chair. I ended up with a basic fade and had to ask him to adjust it; then he killed the sculpted ridge on top by just flattening it out. I've never been more frustrated. When I left; I see two other guys (with Mohawks in other barber's chairs). Not sure why I got messed over but I won't encourage anyone else to check this place out.
