A great place! Jon was very helpful and the cut was everything I ask for. Highly recommend and will be coming back. Also had cold brew on tap. read more

Long waits to schedule an overpriced haircut. Perhaps for the guy with difficult hair with extra cash in his pocket - otherwise you can do just as well at less cost elsewhere. read more

My son got the worst haircut here we've ever had of any place in town. I'm not sure what happened but we won't be back. He was also upset. Overly expensive as well for a kids haircut. read more

I got a haircut, and Justin did a great job. Everyone is extremely nice, and the shop is always clean.

Significantly overpriced. Mediocre hair cut. Not any better than a Supercuts with ridiculous "we're cooler than you" vibe. Trying far too hard. read more

I do not want to let the secret out because his book fills up fast... Shhhh keep it on the down low because I always book multiple cuts in advance and have been going to this barber for about 8 years now. SPUD IS THE MAN!!! Great cuts every time, and keeps me looking fresh! read more

A great spot with a nice atmosphere. A can of they're own branded lager doesn't hurt. Spud took care of me with a very nice cut, great attention to detail. With these places it comes down to who you get, as all the free beer and shampoos in the world won't win your business. And it's tough to ask for someone else once you've gone there once, but given the quality of the place, hard to go wrong. read more

I waited for my second cut and beard trim to see if the service was consistent and I must say it's the best beard and hair cut and service that I've ever had and I'm in my mid 40's. Amir is a top notch professional who takes pride in what he does. I always leave feeling refreshed and looking great! Every detail and request is spot on. Thanks!!! read more

Great haircuts! The appts could be booked better. My haircut is simple so doesn't take much time. So waiting over 15 minutes with an appt is unacceptable at this price point. I have only been three times and had to wait twice. With the price going up I doubt I will return. read more

The worst beard trim I've ever had. i had long, full, beard. What I ended up with was an uneven, straightened mess. When Sammy handed me the mirror to see the results I basically went into shock. I did not recognize the person in the mirror. That guy just was not me. It was so bad that I woke up in the middle of the night and basically shaved off my beard. I wish I hadn't tipped him. I was just so overwhelmed with disappointment and regret I didn't quite know what to do. I will definitely not go there again. But if you do, make sure you specify not only what you want, but what you do not want, or your beard might look like a hatchet job once they're done with you. As for you, Sammy, put down the clippers and go back to barber school. read more

This was new territory for me as my barber of 30+ years is retiring. The process for making a reservation electronically worked well. When I entered, I was greeted politely, informed who my barber would be (I had not selected a preference) and given a choice of drinks (including a small cold brew coffee). Justin was my barber. He inquired about my preference, went to work and we chatted along the way. I appreciated the shave on the back of my neck and the hot towel at the end. I was happy with the result and will return. read more

Great barber shop and great staff. Good people and awesome staff it's a beautiful place.

An extra special to Ken for turning my husband into someone that I could fully love again. After four months without a haircut he was starting to resemble an Asian Albert Einstein but one appointment with Ken completely remedied this hairy situation. My husband is immunocompromised so getting a haircut was something we discussed long and hard before making an appointment. Luckily Bearded GOAT took all the precautions to make us feel comfortable with the experience. Everyone was masked up and they only have a certain amount of stylists / customers working at a time in order to limit the amount of people in the shop. My husband has followed Ken from PR at Partners, Floyds Barbershop to here and I've always been impressed with the results. My husband was never one to fork over the $$$ for a professional haircut before but Ken has shown him the other side -- and he always looks great! You can currently make appointments via their website and they text you reminders for your appointment. read more

Totally overpriced. I had a haircut after years of shaving my head. The barber just buzzed it...no attempt to style it into a decent cut. If I just wanted a buzz, I would have gone to a strip mall shop. They seem to cater and give attention to a younger crowd - I will not go back. A friend who is a barber in Fairfax said the hair was left so uneven and botched that $4 would have been too much for the results I received. read more

Just had a cut here with Brenden or Brandon, I wrote both names just cause I don't want to screw up the guy's name. It was such a great experience. Yes, I said experience because Coming here is not just haircut, it really is a great experience. He spent actual time trying to understand what I wanted to do with my hair, had great conversation. The cut was clean and exactly what I wanted. The whole vibe of this place is great, a lot of people to talk to and everyone just seems passionate about cutting and styling hair. One thing to note though, it is definitely expensive, I think it's worth it but if you're looking for a quick and simple barber shop, this is not the place UPDATE: wanted to throw a shoutout to Alyssa. Brendens schedule was limited so I was told that they had a barbers apprentice who could take me. I've gone to her twice now and love my haircut. She is learning to cut hair but I wouldn't have known that she's still learning. You should call and ask to see her. read more

Bearded Goat Barber - It's super busy - Barbers Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

I love this barber shop. I don't spend a lot on myself, so this haircut is my monthly treat. And buddy, do they deliver. Appointments always start on time. Chill atmosphere with cool decor, the Beastie Boys hardcover book (!!!!) and cold brew coffee to drink. All the barbers I've had cuts from are real Pros and have such incredible attention to detail and customer service. I've had cuts with Eric, Jon, and Ken, and they're all slightly different but all really good and I'll be quick to recommend them. I've followed Eric from his past two barber shops and the guy is awesome. When he shampoos my hair at the end, he is ever so gentle, it reminds me of when i was a small child and my mother shampooed my hair almost as tenderly as Eric does. Then he shaves your neck with a straight razor. Good stuff! Book your appointments ahead of time. read more

Same top neighborhood barbers, new awesome barbershop! Jon is an exceptional barber. I have been getting my hair cut by him for the last several years. His cuts are immaculate: he'll make sure your hairstyle gets proper texture and volume. I followed him along when he left one barbershop and temporarily worked in various barbershops until he and his partners opened the Bearded Goat Barber. Bearded Goat Barber is a very modern, brightly lit barbershop just one block from Ballston metro station. There's always complimentary cold brew coffee and bottled water in the. It's very clean and spacious. They're recruiting some of the best barbers in the area. The entire team is exceptionally hospitable and welcoming. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for good barbers/hairstylists. read more

Haircut was perfect, the space was clean, and they had nitro cold brew on tap which was a nice touch!

I just moved to the area and had been very unsuccessful finding a quality barbershop before I found BGB. French was amazing, very knowledgeable and did a great job communicating and making what I was envisioning happen. The vibe I got was that every other stylist there was on that same level. Well worth it read more

The vibe of this barbershop was very nice. There were sports games on and the person cutting my hair was great. I asked for a haircut that was just a little bit shorter than I already had but he ended up cutting it like it was a grown out buzz cut. It grew on me a little bit, and he definitely was aiming for it to grow out to look like that, I just got it today so I don't know how it's gonna grow out but just beware if you're gonna ask for a haircut, it's gonna be shorter than what you wanted. read more

I walked in to what was clearly an empty barbershop. There were three employees and no customers at the time. I asked for a simple haircut. The fellow behind the register immediately responded that "we are completely booked for the day" and that the earliest appointment they could book me for was Tuesday. Wow, pretty ridiculous when your barbershop is empty on a Sunday afternoon. To top it off, one of the employees was literally sitting in a chair with a smirk on his face looking at me. What rudeness! If you want to book an appointment for an extremely overpriced haircut given by smug hipsters, this is the place for you... Incidentally, within a 5-10 block radius, one can easily find many competing barbershops for half the price and much friendlier service read more

I am always hesitant going to a new barber because I only have a few good hair years left but this place was great! Riz did a great job and made the experience overall great. I would absolutely recommend Bearded Goat and will be going back for my next cut! read more

My son got a great haircut there, but the barber wasn't wearing a mask. When I asked one of the employees if everyone there was vaccinated, she said "if they aren't vaccinated, they have to wear a mask." I looked around and saw that 3/4 of the barbers were wearing masks. Please do better. Require your employees to all get vaccinated and wear masks. Our family won't be back until we are sure we will be safe there. read more

Been coming here for about 6 months. Great hair cuts from Erik each time. Really friendly and has great music! I think the people that work here enjoy being there. Usually lots of cross talk and jokes. Only thing I would recommend is to book haircuts way in advance. It's really hard to schedule something on short notice because it's so popular. read more

Can't say enough good things about Jon and his crew at Bearded Goat. This is an elevated experience and the price is worth the service. They always make me feel welcome when I arrive. And yes the quality of the cut is on point. Book online first. They are busy. read more

Perhaps the worst haircut i've ever had. I went to Brendan and showed a reference image of a haircut I received a few months ago. What I got was significantly shorter and very very uneven. The fade work was also terrible... The worst part is I paid $60 for this haircut. I don't mind paying a higher price if the cut was good, but again, this is the worst cut i've ever received. read more

It's crazy to say but Eric has been cutting my hair for over a decade. We've talked about opening his own shop for a longgg time so I'm super glad that he finally made it happen. The shop looks awesome - reminds me of a trendy store. Yes, you can get haircuts for less money at other places but the quality here is outstanding. The shop is conveniently located in brand new Ballston Quarter and the online appointment system is great. Schedule a cut with Eric if you want to look and feel fresh to death. read more

I've been getting my haircut by Eric and Jon for a couple of years starting at Hendrick's then at Neighborhood before they opened their own shop here. They are both very good at their craft and it shows in their work and the new space. You should get your hair cut here. read more

Let me start by saying I hate having to change barbers! When I find a good barber I stick with them. When I heard Jon was opening near me I went in and tried it out as my last good barber moved so I have been looking for one. There are so few good barbers and the good ones have limited hours so it just sucks. Alas, I was hooked and now I am on a regular schedule here! First, the cut was amazing! Jon took care to listen to what I wanted and did an awesome job. The wash after the cut is really helpful to get out all of the pesky hair that gets itchy and they style you up so you are ready to go when you walk out. No need to rush home to clean up. Secondly, the atmosphere is really nice with the retro color patterns and the modern lines. It is clean, the coffee is awesome, all of the branded products are really cool and they have hair and beard stuff that guys actually use... not the outdated crap from most barbers. Lastly, the price is a little higher than the fly-by-night barbershops in the strip malls but the value is amazing. From the moment you walk in to the moment you leave you are treated like family. read more

"An amazing spot! I've been going to The Bearded Goat for the past two months now, and Francesca has given me the best haircut experience there. Her attention to detail, superb understanding of hair textures, and styling artistry are top-notch. Beyond her technical skills, her friendly demeanor and engaging conversation enriched the whole experience. Each visit to Francesca feels like a rejuvenating session rather than a routine haircut, the amount of time and care is truly unparalleled. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking an outstanding grooming service. read more

I've been in the Arlington area for about 3 years now. I've been searching for a barber and have been to a handful of places. The bearded goat, by far, is the best barber shop I've been to. My whole experience from walking in the door, to checking out at the end was easy, friendly, and smooth. Spud Willis gave me an awesome cut, and I highly recommend him. He took his time and really made sure I got what I want. Price doesn't matter for a good haircut, so don't listen to the negative reviews. Complimentary coffee, beer, and water are given to sip during your hair cut and I think that's the coolest idea. I'll be returning to this barber shop as long as I live in Arlington. read more

Had to give this place a try - or rather make the hubby give it a try! I went with because I wanted to check it out as well. First off it's smells amazing inside and it has such a masculine, clean, city vibe to it. That aside the staff is excellent and my very picky husband was thrilled with his clipper and straight razor cut. His biggest love though were the sinks. He says that is his least favorite part about getting a hair cut. He said it was the most comfortable he had ever been in one of those things. So, apparently that is huge! It's a great price for a full service barber which is saying something here in the city. Everything is expensive! Parking during the day is no big deal. There is street parking as well as a garage right around the corner. Give the Bearded Goat a try! read more

Quality cuts for a decent price. I've take my son here multiple times since he was 6.

I second all the great reviews here, BGB and Eric are the best around. I've followed Eric from 2 other shops and I'm always happy with the cut. I'll be sad when I move to have to find a new barber. read more

Ken, Ken is THE MAN!!! If I had my choice he would be the only person I take my kids to. Unfortunately daddy hates thier hair getting too long and takes them to random places and they co.e back all butchered. Ken always co esto the rescue. I follow him every where he goes and YOU should too!!! read more

The barber who cut my hair was maybe having an off day and did a pretty rough job on my haircut. When I went to have the haircut fixed, I was treated badly and charged again. I think the reason I was treated poorly was that the barber fixing my botched haircut kept finding problems to fix, from the previous haircut, and fixing them. Because of this the manager I guess assumed I was having the barber redo the entire haircut. I in fact didn't as for anything to be done accept fix one part and make it match the rest. Shortsighted on their part, I've been patronizing Bearded Goat for a while - not worth the headache. I paid, with tip, over $70 for the first one and now am out the cost of the second. Pretty lame. read more

I'm a healthcare worker at one of the hospitals in the area. On the first day off I had in 2 weeks, I called to see if there was any availability for a haircut and beard trim. I was told that nothing was available but would be put on a waiting list in case someone cancelled. This was completely understandable with such short notice. Not knowing when my next day off would be, I was able to find arrangements at another establishment for later in the day. I received a call just before noon letting me know that there was a spot open and I could be seen if someone cancelled. "Great," I thought. I bolted from home to the barber shop to get my hair cut and beard trim. En route, I called the other establishment to cancel my appointment. I also paid for parking. When I sat down in the chair, the barber asked me what I'd like and when I told him my hair and beard preferences, he quickly cut me off and said, "oh, I only have time for one or the other." I let him know that I been called and that I was told I could be seen-- no conditions on "one or the other". I told them that I paid for parking and had cancelled another appointment to take this one (which had been filled when I called them back). The barber did not appear concerned with the situation the establishment had created. I was extremely frustrated. I lost the appointment at the other establishment and was out for parking-- all because they communicated poorly. Prior to this, I had been ok with the service at the shop. I had been using them since I moved to the area about 8 months ago. However, I'm not willing to return to an establishment that isn't able to communicate and schedule properly. If you value your time, I'd recommend you think twice before choosing the Bearded Goat. "It takes months to find a customer...seconds to lose one." -- Vince Lombardi read more

Upon goin to another barber shop, he informed me that my hair up top was not even while he was cutting me so the 3 stars goes down to 2 stars. read more

Jon's been cutting my hair for about a year now, and I can't say enough good things about him. He's so professional, nice, and above all, talented. If you're looking for a great barbershop with a cool vibe and excellent service then you should definitely check this place out! read more

Hey-o, this shop is the real deal! First time in and had Spud tighten me up - he's a pro. I will be back and become a regular. Clean shop, nice people and great fade or blend - whichever you would like. Far drive for me (25 mins) but so worth it. read more
