I walked in, no "Hi, Hello, How are you, etc" it was "Can I help you?" like I was in the wrong place. I politely told the lady that I'd like to get a hair cut, as if there is any other reason to visit a barber shop. She said "Sorry, I work by appointment only, it's even on the door". Who really reads the door text? I mean, okay. Appointment only is fine, but zero customer service. She wasn't rude, but didn't even ask me if I'd like to make an appointment. It was just a really awkward refusal of service. There are better shops literally right down the road. The guys say all say Hi, they had someone to take me right away, and unlike Edgewater, this other shop is bigger than my coat closet. I really don't think she is looking for new business, and if you aren't already one of her clients, I would not waste your time. read more

I can't say enough nice things about this place. I don't know how long it has been here but, I just found it a few months ago and I am so glad that I did. First and foremost, THIS IS NOT A SALON, it is a proper mens barber shop. The barber pole outside the door isn't some neo-classic decorative atrocity being improperly displayed simply because the establishment has something to do with hair. Walk past the large window, through the front door and you will find 2 barber's chairs, Paidar circa 1963, proudly perched on the linoleum tile floor. Tuesday through Saturday, you can find Billy standing behind that first chair, with an arsenal of sharp objects, both mechanical and manual, to masterfully tame your mane. You can find Tammy at chair 2, Tuesday through Friday. There are a row of simple brown chairs facing the 'cutting floor' with the day's newspaper available for reading and a full bookshelf of magazines at the end of the row. If you have never been to a real barbershop, or haven't been in a while, this next item of note may take you by surprise. The men in the chairs around the room are actually talking to each other. Yes, that's right, actual communal conversation amongst the whole crowd. No, you won't find a tobacco-chewing, Boss Hogg-type old fart in a white suit completing a horrid backwoods southern cliche. Just a room full of men, many of them strangers to each other, casually discussing any myriad of topics, from the unusually cold winter we've had to muscle cars to the latest political turmoil in (insert country here). A men's haircut will cost you $11, cash only and includes a true clipper cut. Not just the initial bush-wacking with a set of beauty outlet buzzers and a sopping wet head you've been suffering through and the local hair-dying boutique that you've emasculating yourself with, these folks specialize in cutting MEN'S hair and just men's hair. I had tried damn near every salon, boutique, and chain joint in the Annapolis area over the last 11 years and it wasn't until I curiously stumbled through the doors of this little hidden gem that I finally got a GREAT haircut by someone who understood and focused on working with men's hair specifically, not just as a sidebar between highlights and curl-sets. If you like (I do), they will clean up your neckline with hot lather and a straight razor (sadly you cannot get a full facial straight razor shave,a s the insurance costs are exorbitant) and finished off with a big brush full of talc around your neck and ears to keep your skin cool and itch-free. Billy is now the only person that cuts my hair and recently my 10yr old son's hair as well. He knows what size guard I like on the sides and has it locked and loaded by the time my butt hits the beautifully aged leather chair. I just can't recommend this place highly enough. If you are looking for a slightly old-school place that knows how to make mens and boys hair look it's best, you owe it to yourself to stop by and give the Edgewater Barber Shop a try. Just tell 'em Josh with the new 5.0 Mustang sent ya, Billy will know just who ya mean.... read more

Edgewater Barber Shop - Barbers Near Me - Edgewater, Maryland

Love taking my boys here. Everyone is so friendly, prices are great and they do a great job. Cash only and there is usually a line.

Yes, it is retro. Yes, there is good ol' dialog. Whatever, about the chairs... No, the cuts aren't spectacular and if the instructions are given to Billy by a 12 y.o. they will be ignored during the course of said conversation. My son was getting a decent cut on the sides and back, I look away for a moment and then his bangs were being chopped. I am not talking Dutch-boy bowl cut, I mean CHOPPED. He asked for "short and a little longer in front" and got 2.75" above his eyebrows. He is mortified and has taken to wearing a hat until it grows. I just can't wait until his mother sees it; I'll likely be charged with child abuse. read more

I've been coming here since they opened up something like 18 years ago and what is amazing is that through all this time the prices have only changed by $3. Just a sign of Rose and Joe (owners) offering great services at a great price. My father even started going to this place after hearing me talk about them and how nice the owners are. I feel like a part of the family when I walk in. Great place highly recommend. read more
