It literally took 5 min to cut my hair, very careless. No head wash and it's $24. I wouldn't have leaved a review if at least she did it the way I requested. I asked for a low fade she did a high fade. Don't recommend this place at all. There are many good hair shops in the same area. read more

My husband came home and his hair looks like the bowl cut from Dumb & Dumber. Terrible. $30 plus tip for what will e a redo somewhere else in 3 days. I may need to try to fix this myself before he heads to work Monday. read more

Super affordable and high quality service and hair cut. I've been trying out different barbershops around the area and this place is a perfect balance of cost and quality. Similar high quality haircuts around the area and they usually charged 40-50 dollars. Was very surprised they only charged 50% less. read more

Great place to get your hair cut. I was used to spending too much money on stylists. I was looking for someone who could give me a mullet, a modern mullet, and was honestly having a hard time finding a stylist who was trained to do this type of cut. I walked in to 153 Barber Shop and showed the lady what I wanted, asked if she could cut it and very confidently said yes. Walked out with a great styled cut, she was quick and thorough, and the price was definitely a relief. I highly recommend for men, women, and kids. read more

Have been seeing Cindy @153 Barber Shop for many years. She always does an excellent job that makes me feel (and look) better than I did when I walked in. Thanks 153!! read more

Short summary: Worst haircut I've ever had anywhere. Barber was very rushed and imprecise, and frankly callous. I was left with a bowl cut and I'm left to recover until a more skilled barber can restore it. Note: I've only tried one barber here (a male) and this review applies to him only. Have you ever had a barber so rough and imprecise that he basically hits you with the shavers? Have you ever felt your scalp sting due to small cuts left by the barber stabbing your head with the tools? If not go ahead and get a cut with one of the male barbers here. Not only that, but he left me with a bowl cut and uneven sides. He was not skilled with the tools and was very rushed. If you have very short and simple hair it would be ok but this barber definitely does not have the skills or understanding to cut anything beyond a buzz cut. I cannot recommend this place even for the low price. read more

terrible and just terrible!! no interest in what the customer wants, clippers kept pulling my hair out, no neck shave. read more

Unfortunately I've had to reevaluate my experience here. I've been going here for a number of years, getting outstanding haircuts... ...until the past few months. The weren't terrible, but not great; not the same fine attention to detail. This last time, I asked for a little more to be taken off... the lady did (more than I wanted) but only after applying gel to my hair and THEN cutting more off. I'm not sure if she was having an off day or what, but when I got home I noticed it was cut shorter, and much higher than normal and looks uneven... thankfully my hair grows pretty quickly so it can grow out and be fixed, but in the meantime I'm stuck trying to make it work with gel and some creative comb work. I'm going to have drive further, but am going to try out a different barbershop. read more

Worst hair cut in 34 years. She spent a whopping 6 min on my head. Had me looking at mirror on opposite side of the wall to ask if it was ok. When I got home I realized why. Asked for a fade, and got nothing close. Nothing was trimmed correctly. Hair was laying a full inch on the side of my head and I look ridiculous. Hair around the ears, fade was anything but that, and nothing trimmed to include bangs. I'll have to get it done again. Never recommend anyone that doesnt take the time to ensure it's done right. Worst part was I was their ONLY customer! read more

We used to live right across the street so my husband used to get his haircut here frequently. Our dog had to get surgery which is right next door so after we dropped her off, we came in so my husband can get his haircut. They were open right on the dot at 0900! The place looked very clean and they had plenty of chairs but there was only on lady working the floor. He was the first one there and the lady was able to get to him right away. I was waiting in their lobby while he was getting his haircut watching a Ryan and Kelly show. Their waiting area was nice. They had a few couches and a large tv mounted on the wall. There were a few nicely stacked magazines if you want to read. I typically read stuff on my phone but I decided to watch some TV while I waited. while two other gentlemen came in for their cut. They really know how to cut men's hair! My husband got 3 on the top and 2 on the sides. His haircut came out really nice and they are so affordable, we also ended up getting $2 off for being an early bird which we gave as an extra tip to the hairdresser. Will definitely come again and we highly recommend! read more

I use to go to the barbershop near Walmart just right down the road, but after visiting this place, I've become a regular. The only drawbacks are: - They're pretty quiet, but if you don't care it's pretty much a moot point - They tend to jam the fine electric razor if you're getting a skin-tight look read more

Will not be returning. I took my teenage son and we were both disappointed with the cut. Literally took him 5 min, was not what we asked for. This was our 2nd time. I trIed to give them a second chance. read more

Wonderful place to get a haircut! I started to use this barber for the first time last year and have been returning since! The barbers knows exactly what style you want and styles it to your liking, always asking for affirmation frequently. The cuts are stylish and clean! Would recommend this place to anyone. If you ask for the guy barber- he finishes every cut with a hot towel and a nape (back of neck) shave/wax. read more

153 Barber Shop - Short/messy top- - Barbers Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

To sum it up and shorten my previous review. I've found my new barber. I'll still look every now and then but they take their time and focus. They use proper techniques with cutting that most barbers just skip. They never rush which I love. When you combine dedication and price. This is the place read more

These ladies are so sweet! They gave my squirmy 3 year old a great haircut too. They had a couple baby toys to keep my younger one occupied. They also have lots of kids books and magazines for adults. Complimentary bottled water. This is our 2nd time their and we haven't had to wait. Love the early bird special $2 off from 9-11 am. read more

I got my haircut at 153 and I am a FAN!!! I wish I remembered the woman's name who cut my hair because she was fantastic! Worth the extra few dollars (men's haircut is $16) they give the head massage, hot lather and the works! Complementary water bottles too! FYI: You can use credit cards but tips must be cash!!! read more

Great barbershop! Cindy remembers what kind of haircut I want every time I walk in and knocks it out super fast. Clean, quick, and friendly. What else could you ask for? read more

Excellent service and great haircut! I am military and Cindy does a first-class job every time. I have watched them cut childrens' hair as well and they do a great job with the kids. Their facility is very clean and bright. They do a fantastic job handling all the social distancing, safety and personal hygiene protocols (face masks and shields, lots of hand sanitizer for them and you, single use pens for signing credit card charges, and so on...). I felt very comfortable and safe with their procedures. Reservations are required now. I highly recommend them! read more

I only trust this barber shop with my hair. I've never had a bad haircut from them and I've been going to this barber since they open. They friendly and just all around the best. Come here for the best haircut. read more

If you want to waste $19 go to 153 barber shop. I went there and there was one barber, Cindy. A ok hair cut, no trimming of the eyebrows. I thought I would try a different shop. I will go back to where I usually go. Some of the reviews like cindy and the shop. Why I dont know.So if you have $19 to throw away go to 153. read more

Hands down the best place to get a haircut in all of northern Virginia (trust me I've tried a lot of places). I have been coming here for almost two years and every single haircut has been excellent. Cindy gives very high attention to detail, and also remembers how you want it cut every time. They are very meticulous and skilled. I highly recommend this place! read more

I usually get an OK haircut here, maybe a 3-4 star rating, but today I had my hair cut by Sunny, and she butchered my head. She cut a straight back instead of the requested tapered/faded, and one side was not as even as the other; around one of my ears the hairline has notch in it; but the icing on the cake is that, without my permission or my request, she took it upon herself to surprise me and try to trim my beard and I now have a a good chunk of my beard missing. Problem is, their mirrors are so far away from your head that it's hard to see if they have done a good job. To say I'm furious with this latest service is an understatement - I will never be coming back here again. read more

Great place for a haircut. I've been coming here for about 7 months now. Have never been disappointed. I've tried different barber each time. They have always done exactly what I have asked for and what I'm looking for. Great for haircuts and for trimming the beard. There has never been a long wait. Barbers are also very professional. read more

Seriously. Best haircut of my entire life. My old California barber could learn from this place. I loved everything. I wish I could get my haircut here for the rest of my life. Great cut, shave, warm towel, shampoo, head massage. Get your haircut here you can't go wrong. read more

We brought our 3 year old who is terrified of haircuts. He loved the car chair and the crew was super friendly and wonderful. His haircut is perfect and he (and us) are so happy now! Highly recommend for toddlers. read more

Awesome service! If you need a military haircut this is the place. Both of my children also had haircuts with great results. Can't wait to go back for my next hair cut. read more

This is a fantastic barbershop. There is a lot of attention to detail and the prices are extremely reasonable. Staff is great and super friendly. read more

This was the best hair cut I've gotten in years. They had a clean professional atmosphere with mirrors to your front and back so you can see what's going on. They had TVs right in front of you to pass the time. And my barber was precise and paid special close attention to my hair needs. Then to top it off they give you a hot towel head and neck massage. Great Barber! I'm coming back and I look forward to it! read more

This place is a hidden gem in Twinbrooke Centre. I don't ever write Yelp reviews, but thought this place was great and deserves a shout out. I've been to a few barbers in the area and frequented Andy's Barber shop in Vienna for a few years and I must say this is probably one of the best haircuts I've received. The ladies there are very friendly and Jin did a wonderful job cutting my hair. Definitely will be going back here for every haircut now. =] read more

I had high hopes because my husband went here and got a very nice military cut. I took 2 of my sons here that didn't want a military cut and asked to have their hair left a little longer (like a teenage style) and both women cutting their hair said ok. Well, they walked out the door with very short, military-ish hair cuts. My boys were not happy. The place is clean, they do use proper techniques and if you want a short style I would recommend them. If you want them to listen to what you WANT, then better to avoid. read more

Took the 3 year old and he loved the car seat. He'll be getting his dome cropped here for the foreseeable future.

Decent cut, very good value. Unlike many other barbers in the area, Cindy actually listened to what I wanted and executed accordingly. I received a clean cut, razor, and hot towel and was very pleased with the final product. Will definitely return In the future. read more

I've had a lot of haircuts, at many different places and this is the first time I've truly hated a haircut I've received. I even showed 5 photos of exactly what I wanted. Too much hair was taken off and tried to be fixed, making it even worse and uneven on both sides. I was then told I must have never had a haircut like this before and I'm wrong. What?! I will never go here again. I've been here a couple times and the staff was different before. Not sure if they've changed or what. Extremely disappointed. read more

Look elsewhere, I received a very rushed haircut and straight-blade shave from Cindy. I left the store and minutes later realized that my neck was nicked in multiple places and I was still bleeding. I went back in asking for a refund, which I got, but not a single apology or acknowledgement of unprofessional service. Cindy's excuse was that my beard was too thick...as the professional, isn't it her duty to either refuse service or do a proper and SAFE job if she does do it? This was my first straight blade shave and thanks to her I am hesitant to ever get one again. read more

Had one haircut for my infant son, and boy did the barber have patience! Grateful for the service and quality of my son's haircut. I'll be back again for the real test of their ability, my toddler daughter. Thanks again. read more

Echo what Nicole said below. They are good at buzz cuts! But horrible with any type of length remaining or styling. And they don't understand English much. If you do decide to go there, only let the male barbers touch your hair. You will regret it if you don't heed the warning! The 6+ people in my household will NEVER give this place a chance again. I'd rather pay $40+ a cut then run the risk of them butchering any of my kids' hair again! read more

The barbers here are amazing. Every time I come here to get a haircut, I end up with my hair perfect. The barbers are so friendly and take their time which I love because it means that they are concentrating on making my hair perfect. I recommended the shop to some of my friends and they also love the shop. read more

This shop is a wonderful place to get your haircut. I've been going to this shop for awhile and the barbers cut my hair perfectly every time. On top of being skilled, the barbers are also very friendly and efficient. And every time I go in the shop is clean and tidy, as well as comfortable. Overall I really like this shop and have/will recommend it to others. read more

My dad just came back from a hair cut there and it's the best hair cut I have seen on him so far. I think they did a great job!

$16 haircut and worth every penny. They take their time and pay a lot of attention to detail. Just when you think they're done... they start tweaking something else. read more
