All these reviews pushed me to try it out. Whoever this Tina lady is she wasnt there which was good. Kelly cut my hair. Did a good job. Apparently Sam isnt there right now after knee surgery so i was unable to guage if she is as good as everyone says. Kelly was friendly and always asked before doing anything. Used a photo of myself a few months ago to show her what i wanted. She gave me exactly that. Personally as a Marine vet from NC i think the price is a little steep. So used to $5 haircuts but $16 wasnt terrible.

I am picky about my hair and having recently relocated, was dreading finding a new barber. The cut I received at Best was truly the best on I have had in many years. The ladies who work there are Korean and they are very nice and friendly. I was impressed with how my stylist listened to my request and then checked with me to make sure she was getting the length the way I wanted it. She was very meticulous and my hair looks great. Ill definitely be back.

I had three cuts by three different Korean ladies. All of them spoke English although I would say two are better. I moved into the area about six months ago and have had the opportunity to compare them to a number of their competition. Price-wise, theyre the cheapest I have tried. Skill-wise, my wife has given three thumbs up. The shop itself isnt typical of the ones Ive encountered and seems relatively clean and well-kept.

All I can say is that I.am overall impressed with my haircut. I have to be honest for a min I am an african american man and when I first walked in and seen that they were all females.and they were another race I.became.very skeptical to say the least and I was a nervous wreck but in the end Nancy did a very good job on my head overall despite they my shape up is a little.crooked but I would recommend this.shop hands down.

Excellent place. Reasonable prices, barbers are competent, efficient, and careful. I gave very basic instructions and she knew exactly what to do with them to make my hair look nice. I went early in the morning when they opened and walked right in with no wait. Im moving in a few days but Im going back one more time before I leave, I recommend the place to any guy.

In my life, I never seen a barber like this place. They dont know nothing about hair cutting. The one who cut my hair is she doesnt know how to use even the machine. I dont know who wrote those reviews, maybe their families and friends. And finally when you trying to pay they dont accept credit card. OMG the worst ever . Dont even try! !!!

I had the same, positive experience here. However, if youre a first-timer, bring cash because they dont take credit cards but have an ATM on site. Also, remember the suite number (#25) because the place itself is set back a bit from the street and is one of 2 or 3 barbers/salons in the shopping center at that address.

Do not let Tina cut your hair. If you sit in a chair and see her name on the mirror, get up and leave. She did the exact opposite of what I asked her and it got worse when she tried to correct her mistakes. I ended up with a basic training high-and-tight haircut. It will take me about two months to grow my hair back.

This place is usually fairly good, just make sure you do NOT get Tina. Everyone else there is great, but Tina is unprofessional and annoying. Its definitely worth making an appointment so you can avoid her. Be warned, if you just walk in, shes often the first one available because the rest have appointments.

Does not accept debt/credit card, lost my business (businesses fail when they attempt to resist change). These days everyone uses card to pay, why to risk losing costumers and force them to use your atm, just to make an extra buck? Get ride of the atm, put a credit card reader, and pay your taxes.

Great haircuts at a great price for the whole family. My husband, 2 kids, and I ALL get haircuts for under $100 total in less than a half hour. Jin is a great womens hairstylist nd Ive gotten rave reviews on her haircuts. Sam, Nancy, Tina, Grace, and Jin are all excellent. Nice people too.

Kelly at Best Barber Shop does a fantastic job. Both my wife and I have her cut our hair and we are regularly impressed with her attention to detail and thoroughness. Well soon be moving to California and we hope that we are able to find a barber as talented as she is.

I went here for the first time and had Sam cut my hair. She went over my hair thoroughly to make sure I didnt have any long stray hairs or bad spots and definitely made sure that the haircut was great. Great haircut and great price compared to many other places!

Ive been going here for about a year and have only had good experiences with the ladies who run shop. They are not bothersome like some other barber shops, and are easy to understand style preferences. Only good experiences here with 4-5 haircuts overall.

Unparalleled quality, this place is seriously $30-$40 quality cuts for a fraction. I usually pay $20 just because otherwise it feels like Im robbing them. I came here first because it was open and close, now I drive accross town because its worth it.

My go to barber for a year and a half and counting. Sam (the owner) is great, and Jenny (my barber) is too! All the ladies are friendly and give good haircuts!

I owned a unisex hair salon for 10 years. These ladies know what they are doing. I always like Miss Sam. If the lady you want is busy you can always wait.

This place was great... brand new to D.C., and I usually cut my own hair. I may, however, have to come see Sam once in a while... she is fantastic!

Friendly service, little or no wait, good quality and clean shop with reasonable prices. The only negative is that they accept cash only.

They are great! Real barber-women! Right around the corner! The difference between barbers and cosmetologists is like night and day.

Great barber shop for military fades! $16 for a razor fade is choice!
