    I just started rocking my natural short hair. I've gone twice before and received amazing service. Today my husband joined me. We are both happy that we can both get our hair cuts at a barber shop that is professional, respectful, and has a talented staff. We recommend A Cut Above and will definitely come again.

    I arrived at A Cut Above at 2:30pm and was in and out quickly. I requested Howard based on the reviews and he did a great job giving me the cut I wanted. He talked to me about haircare and offered solutions to grow healthy hair which was appreciated. He was very fast and I liked not having to wait. The barbershop is extremely clean. Almost pristine. The location is convenient it's located in Laurel right across from the Marlo's Furniture store. The GPS may get tricky for you so look for Marlo's as the central point. Overall I was happy and would consider returning for a fresh cut.

    Chose A Cut Above because it was close to home AND I'm new to the neighborhood. So the location was perfect. I called ahead requested Howard Hancock based on the other Yelp reviews. Glad I did! I asked him for a clean cut and told him to use his discretion. It was exactly what I wanted and more importantly, the wifey loved my haircut! I will definitely be back.

    Transformation of the day...

    The same level of quality and service has been extended by the other barbers too when I couldn't get Howard.

It's not bad, I just wanted, No, needed something better. Walking into DC Homme, I realized it would be like no other barbershop experience. Keyword: Experience. The grooming lounge (2 floors) is extraordinary with the historic memorabilia and art hanging on rich, dark brown - mahogany wood walls, you'd expect in a stately law firm. There are grooming samples at the front door, a men's clothing shop, and other services all under one roof (Brian gave me a tour). The mood, music, comfy couch/chairs, and wall mounted flat screen TVs made you feel like you were stepping into a major city salon with all the comforts of home. I was Brian's guest (not customer) and it felt like it. Brian focuses his attention on your grooming, conversation, and nothing else. His approach is methodical without being mechanical. You can tell he thought out every detail of your cut, asks the right questions, and engages you in light, meaningful conversation that helps you connect, which is important between a man and his stylist. Your hair cut looks great, after the highly anticipated flourish to every haircut with an essential oil (can't tell all the details - you have to try it for yourself - it's amazing). You leave feeling like someone took the time to provide you more than a hair cut - DC Homme gives you an experience, which is worth the $35 - $40. Yes, I could go back to paying $27 for a hair cut, but I have more appreciation for finer things in life such as the high degree of professionalism, atmosphere, conversation, and genuine care Brian and his colleagues put into their guest's experience that's definitely worth the $8 - 15 difference (Exceptional Experience Fee). Why would I go anywhere else? And, if you are man - neither should you.

    Best haircut of my life. Great experience. Walked in feeling like $1. Walked out feeling like a…read moremillion more.

    I went here for a beard trim a few weeks ago on a Sunday. I didn't have an appointment, but there…read morewas no wait. I was assigned to Jesus's chair and he proceeded to do a great job. I'm not very good at communicating what I'm looking for, but he both understood and did some additional things that were a big improvement. He asked if I wanted my beard lined up in a way that was easier for me to manage between trims and used a paper template to ensure he got both sides evenly. He wasn't super talkative, and I'm not either, so that was a good match! Or maybe he's chatty with clients who are chatty and just follows their lead, but either way, it was comfortable for me. The lighting is bright enough that I kept my eyes closed for a portion of the experience, and the music was a little loud for me, but it was a solid playlist. The chair was comfortable and things were impressively clean. I was there kind of early on that Sunday and so I didn't see a ton of other customers, but the few I saw seemed happy with their experience. It is good to find a shop that does a good job with beards that isn't also trying to be a whisky bar, a gentlemen's lounge, a sports bar, or a spa. Should have taken a few before and after photos to share--maybe next time! I waited a few weeks to write this to see how my beard would grow in and now, about 15 days later, it looks great and not in need of immediate maintenance. I'll definitely be back

    This place looked very cool from the pictures on Yelp but the place is even cooler in person!…read more You are greeted by a friendly receptionist who will give you a tour if it is your first time here. You're going to want the tour because there is so much happening at this venue. There is the lounge you see pictures of on Yelp and the next room behind it is the barber shop. But that only starts the experience. There is an esthetician room, a massage room and relaxation area upstairs. There is also a cigar room in the back of the second floor and they have plans to build out a deck off the cigar room with a covered and an uncovered area. I think I missed a few things on the tour. There was so much that it was hard to keep up. Definitely stop by for pretty much any salon/barber/spa procedure you want and see this place for yourself! I was here for a haircut and all 3 gentlemen working were master barbers. Best way I can summarize my experience: clean, professional, and impressive attention to detail. I got a cut with a hard part and Brian finished it off with a straight razor on the hard part, not just clippers. It is rare that I can't find the words to describe a place but you honestly have to come experience it for yourself. And the way these guys cut hair....only the way a master of his craft can do. You have to come see it for yourself to understand what I mean. I'll be back for another cut shortly. You all should do the same.
