Been going to the Greenbriar Barber shop for 40 years. Even with a change of owners and an occasional turnover of barbers, the shop is the place to go to get friendly, personal service. The rice is good as is the haircut! read more

My husband has been getting a haircut from Minh since 1997, and He is amazing. Our son has been coming since he was 5, and now he's 19. Great staff and great with kids! read more

I've been going to this Barbershop for many years and will continue for many more! Yes my long time Barbershop has retired but I now have another favorite! read more

Been going here for as long as I can remember- the staff is GREAT, all very talented! More specifically Minh, he is awesome. Super talented and very outgoing. Highly recommend Minh, and everyone in that barbershop! read more

Although I'm happy with the many haircuts I've received here, there seems to be a couple barbers here that make up their own prices. 2 occasions they charged me $1 more than the regular $20. Barber said the 1st time that it's for extra work which is impossible for just a trim. This last time he said the prices went up and just a few minutes earlier a different barber rung up a customer and said $20. What's going on here?! Next time I'll just take that "extra" charge out of their tip. read more

I would definitely have my cut again here. Got laid the very next day by some hottie I met at a coffee shop. She noticed my hair along with with the smiles and said nice hair. read more

Bunch of immigrants like me trying to make a honest living...having said that, I am at fool me thrice kind of situation. Very rude & definitely not worth bang for the buck for what only few of the employees provide. I will avoid till at all costs till the service improves. Staying away for now. read more

DO NOT GO HERE AT ALL, THEY LEAVE CUTS ON YOUR NECK. I went there for a fade and 8 on the top. The guys aren't gentle and they scrap your neck with clippers and the blade. Its ridiculous how they are and they blamed it on "new tools". Stupid excuses. read more

Greenbriar Barber Shop - THE BARBERS CUT MY NECK. - Barbers Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

Been coming here since I was in elementary school. I'm 27 now. Whenever I visit my parents in the area, I always stop by for a cut. I'm not great at asking for what I want when it comes to a haircut so I just ask for a trim and they somehow always get it perfect. Been to so many other places, never as good as here. Their English may not be great but they're super kind and definitely know how to cut hair. 10/10 read more

I've been in there twice never again the first time I got a lousy haircut and paid $22 my hair was only two inches long all I needed was a trim he scraped the hell out of my neck didn't put any foam on it didn't They shave it it and had an attitude Like another lady said they seem to make up the prices as they go far back as I can remember it said $20 when I go up there to pay I get bum rushed and I had three barbers hanging out looking at my wallet trying to cajole me into giving more money The second time I went in there I wanted a flat top and he said he couldn't use Clippers he had to use scissors which he don't give a flat top like that worst haircut I ever had And again got Bum rush read more

Ive never left a bad review anywhere. Please don't go here. I paid $50 to have to wear a hat for three months. They made me look 10x more bald than I should. I haven't been on a date in months because they messed it up that bad. I swear this one haircut changed the trajectory of my entire life. Then I paid $40 and said thank you.... They just cut hair. That's it. They don't care to try and make it look good.... Just cut.... He told me they do this style all the time.... read more

Took myself and two boys in for our first barber cut since covid as we'd been scrapping by with cutting it ourselves at home. The entire shop was friendly and super awesome. Did a great job on my cut and the barbers were awesome with my kids. We walked in Saturday morning no wait! read more

BUYER BEWARE. I took my 1 year old son here last week and the barber, Phong, did a great job on the cut itself. The reason I'm giving a 1 star review though is after the cut I realized Phong charged me for an adult haircut and not a kids haircut. As is the case with one of the reviewers below, I don't appreciate being taken advantage of and won't be returning again. As a side note, I will also say that I was put off by how dirty/dingy the place is. I didn't really like seeing the hair from the haircut before my son on the razor being dusted off in front of us and used on my son without any disinfectant. read more

This place is probably a hidden gem. I am fairly new to the NOVA area and was looking for a barber who can do a fade AND scissor work to my specifications. After reading reviews, I took my chance and could say that I am not disappointed at all. The service was exceptional, price very fair, staff friendly. Most importantly, my haircut came out perfect. Pretty sure I found a new place to go to from now on. read more

I took my son here today for a kids hair cut. It was our 4th time taking him here and we've always been pleased with the quick service and quality haircuts. I'm giving a two star review because my husband took my son the first three times and he was charged $12 each time for a kids cut. Today I took my son alone and I was charged $17. I don't appreciate being taken advantage of because I'm a woman. I will never take my family here again. Dishonesty has cost them the business of three customers in one family. read more

With some extra experience I think Phong is the best for us. Back left. Wednesday-Sunday.

Took my 3 year old here, Phong did an amazing job with the cut & styling. Been to so many barbers, and non have done as great of a job as this place here. Will definitely be back! read more

I was looking for a legitimate barber in the Virginia area. I called around and tried-out different places. I decided to try-out Greenbriar because of location, reviews, and pictures. When I arrived, the tall thin Asian gentleman greeted and sat me immediately. He was very pleasant. He asked me want I wanted, and he gave me exactly what I wanted. He took his time and used great technique with razors. I got a faded shape-up with a hard-part. The only things that could have been better would have been using a straight blade razor for the hard-part and edging, not blowing my hair all over and in my shoes, and using top products for skin and hair. Overall, great blended haircut! read more

Whenever I'm in the area visiting my family, I make a point to get my hair cut here. In fact, I'll plan a haircut around my visits, because getting a haircut in my hometown can be a real pain with parking and having to wait. I should point out that I keep my hair very low. But, what I like most, is the ability of the barbers in this shop to take time and make sure that your receive a quality cut. I notice that a lot of younger patrons in this shop receive a variety of rather complicated haircuts that the barbers are exceptionally capable of completing. At the time of this review, an adult hair cut is $17. I've been here about eight times over the last six months, and always receive a fast quality haircut. (Bobby and Minh have always hooked me up right). Sorry to see below that Luciana A was sponged on the price of her son. As far as the negative picture requests, I'd take that with a grain a salt, because looking like a picture isn't always possible. (When you're getting your hair cut, you should interact with your barber if you feel that you're not getting what you want, if getting what you want is actually feasible - as much as people can complain about barbers, they have valid complaints about patrons). read more

These guys are great! I always get the haircut I want and it's at a reasonable price. Minh and company are friendly and good at what they do. They talk to you're feeling chatty and they just do their job when you don't feel like it. read more

I have extremely thick, coarse, and wavy hair, so I need my barber to listen to me and to plan out what they're going to do before they do it. I didn't catch the name of the guy who just butchered my hair because he never once looked me in the eye or introduced himself. I'd been growing my hair for some six months, and it had gotten pretty big and crazy. I asked him to take it up significantly in the back, to cut a bit on the sides, and to clean up the top slightly. The first thing he did after combing my hair out was to pull out the clippers. This made me anxious, but since I'd said to take a lot off the back, I didn't think it would be an issue. Then, without saying anything, he shaved off my sideburns and started shaving around the ear. I asked how much he was taking off, and when he turned me toward the mirror, I said it was way too much (some 3" of hair). I asked him not to cut it any shorter than he already had. Rather than apologizing and asking me to reiterate what I wanted, pointed out, "You said around the ear," referring to when I thought he was asking if I wanted him to trim around my ears, and I had answered, "Yes." I told him to clean up the rest of my hair enough to transition into what he'd already done. After that, I ended the haircut, paid the $16, and left--first time in my life that I haven't tipped the person cutting my hair. Now I'm online, looking for a barber shop where the barbers know how to do something other than a fade. read more

Don't bother taking your kids here for a haircut. The person we went too had zero patience when dealing with our son and was just trying to make a quick buck. After spending about 30 seconds trying to get our son set he gave up and refused to cut his hair. Do not recommend and will not be coming back. read more

All of these guys are great barbers and even better people. I've been going here for 20 years, Minh is my designated barber and he's great. Each of these guys have cut my kids hair since they were toddlers, and to this day, these adult kids still have their favorite barber here. Great family and neighborhood barber! read more

Wow. After one good visit, my husband went back and was butchered (literally) by these people. It makes me sad to give them one star but not only did they leave my husbands hair too long after he asked the barber twice to make it shorter, they left him with cuts all over his head. First my husband told me they cut his ear and yep, I saw a small cut right on the top of his earlobe. Looked painful. But then, my husband casually asked me if the back of his neck was cut. O. M.G. I have never seen a cut from a barber that was as bad as this one. The "barber" used a straight razor to shave his neck and SLICED it bad. The barber didn't even apologize or tell my husband about it (at the time, my husband just felt a small sting) and when my husband got home, the cut had crusted, dark red dried blood all over it. Unsanitary, rude, and unprofessional. Accidents happen but my husband should have been told, the cut should have been cleaned and not wiped off with a presumably used and dirty towel. The "barber" didn't bother to tell my husband about this and was rewarded with a generous tip because my husband is a nice person. To add insult to injury: a few hours later I noticed that one of my husbands sideburns was a good inch longer than the other. Cray. Never again, sorry but it was a bad (and painful) experience the second time around. *****UPDATE: 6/14/13***** It has been well over a year since my review of Greerbrier barber shop and 3 days ago I received this threatening message in my Yelp inbox from someone named "Noble G": "Your going to get Sued: Greenbrier Barber Shop. I would like your address, or I can have our attorney find it. You defamed our place of business via a comment on YELP, and we are going to take you to court for it. Give me your address please, thank you." In over 4 years of Yelp reviews, I've never been threatened by a business owner. My review is 100% truthful and honest. I have no interest or reason to say anything untruthful about anyone. We have rights as consumers and Americans to report our experiences at places of business (including bad experiences!) and that is the POINT of Yelp. My review is staying up in the interest of free speech. You can make your own decision as to whether you would like to do business with people who threaten baseless legal action against honest customers over a YELP review. Incredible. read more

Minh is the best.. been coming here for 13 years and most of my friends still drive all the way back here. read more

They know their men's cuts and know how to do an undercut well. They all seem knowledgable on how to line the cuts up but their techniques seem to vary. I got Ben though with the hair cutting grace of a wrestler. The cut was great and he listened to exactly what I wanted, it was just a lot of pain to go from point A to B, and i got a cut on my neck. I'd still recommend this place to anyone that wants men's cuts especially undercuts for a low price but I just probably wouldn't recommend Ben unless they have an unusually high pain tolerance, which I do. Ben, if you read this, please be gentler on your clients. The hair is great what you did was great, it was fantastic! But the experience while I was there could've been used to interrogate me for information. Either way, I'll be returning for my haircuts there. Ps. This barber is cash only. Roughly $15-18 +tip. I forgot to bring cash but they were nice enough to trust me to get some cashback from the 7/11 next door. I had decided to leave an item of mine with them so they knew I wouldn't just get out without paying. read more

I was visiting from the UK and after reading the reviews of Yelp decided to try greenbrier for a haircut. My hair is not curly like the other disgruntled reviewer. After explaining what I wanted he just totally disregarded it. When I got into the car I managed to get a closer look at my haircut and that's where the problems began. My bangs were wonky all the way along, one side of my head hadn't been shaved properly, and to top it off the sides of my hairline was much higher than it should be. I went back inside and showed him my the wonkyness of the bangs and didn't even get an apology just an 'ok' from the guy as he sat me down. I once again explained how I wanted it cut and let him attempt to fix it. After another 5-10 minutes of shaving and trimming I just nodded and walked out, the damage was done. I got home, washed it out and then realised once again my bangs were wonky. On top the hair was a good inch difference in length from left to right and just in general the haircut was horrendously poor. The fact I didn't even get an apology or any acknowledgement on top of the shocking quality means I wouldn't even send my worst enemy here. The fact the entire staff looked so disinterested hardly filled me with confidence. I pay less than $13 at home for a good haircut, so expected at least the guy to do a fairly simply guys cut. read more

The shop is not so fancy but let me tell you this who cares!!!! You want a good service and see a goood result right?! That's what this place is all about. I go to this place and see DANIELLE. I moved from California and wasn't familiar to the area since I found DANIELLE I won't go anywhere else . He is very professional and efficient! Thank you DANIELLE read more

Joe is awesome. They know how to do fades. Feels like an old school barber's shop. Only one of a few places I've found in the DC area that know how to cut hair. I've had my hair cut by some of the other barbers and they were decent but always cut it a but short despite my instructions. I'd still go there. Overall good haircut. read more

This is one of the few mainstays of the Greenbriar Shopping Center!!! Nice place for a trim. New ownership, same look... All told, I've never had a "bad" haircut from this joint. Some of the barbers do a better job than others, but they all give a good cut. Price is great, even better if you get a barber who is not in a hurry. Chair one is the best service, but there is usually a wait. Don't listen to the reviewers that are comparing this shop to the "trendy" shops that have popped up in the past years. Apples and oranges! If you are looking for salon service, go to a salon. If you are looking for a good cut at a decent price, you have found your place! read more

It took me a year and a half in DC to find a place that could CONSISTENTLY cut a high skin fade. There are only 2 people in here that I will let cut my hair: Chris and Minh. I have tried 3 others here and they could not adequately do a high skin fade without a line, or without having a huge flat spot on the side of my head. Chris and Minh are perfect! Seriously! This place may be slightly higher than others..but you get what you pay for! read more

Go see Min ! Show him a picture and he'll hook you up. Been going there for over 15 years. He won't disappoint read more

Greenbriar Barber Shop - Combover with a hard part courtesy of Min - Barbers Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

**I DO NOT RECOMMEND BEN** I've been coming to this place for the past 2 years and have always had a good experience with a fair price. I typically come in about once a month and have had my hair cut by most of the guys there. Minh and Danny are especially good, but today they were busy and I decided to try someone else which was Ben. He gave me the typical small talk greeting, devoid of emotion, which usually doesn't phase me. I'm the type of person who doesn't need the extra pampering and if you do your job well, you get a solid 25% tip. What bothered me was when he asked me how I wanted my hair cut. I've been getting the same cut for the past 3 years. It's a pretty basic cut and probably quite common with people my age: The standard comb over with a hard part, "1" on the sides with a low fade, but for me a bit of the top and go around with thinning shears because my hair is thick. I explained it to him and he pompously responded with "You don't want a low fade, too short" like I was a child. I insisted that is what I have been getting every time. Even if I wanted a ridiculous 80's style haircut and am paying for it, shouldn't I receive it to the best of the barber's ability? After Ben was done (the first time around), he showed me the cut. I was not satisfied because he cut too much off the top and the sides were clearly not down to a "1" resulting with my hair resembling a mix between an amazonian native bowl cut and a Bichon Frise, a poof ball if you will. His demeanor, when I nicely asked him to cut down the sides to a low fade (because what can he do if too much is already lopped off the top), was as if he caught me sleeping with his partner but had to keep a professional face on, or whatever his poor definition of professionalism is. He said that if "wanted a low fade, all of it would be low" (which was exactly what I asked for and how I wanted it). He gave me a clear "What is wrong with you?" type of face and proceeded to take the clippers and recklessly go over the sides (forget about the fade, maybe next month somewhere else). He then cleaned up my neck and edges with a straight razor which did more scraping of skin than it did with hair. (luckily not deep enough without bleeding) After the 2nd time Ben showed me my hair there were clear large sections that needed to be evened out. I brought it up and he gave an eye-roll combined with a sigh which only embarrassed teenagers can give their fathers. His reaction was as if he was a celebrity barber and I was wasting his time, but there was no line for him nor walk-ins, just customers waiting for their specific barbers/appointments and I can understand why. At this point in order to avoid a possible clipped ear, I decided to say it was "fine" in which he replied with a curt "16 Dollars". I handed the lackluster excuse of a barber $20 bill and left ASAP because there was a clearly built tension with Ben. Don't get me wrong, I currently work in the service industry and have been for the past 4 years. I know it's not the most glamorous when it comes to daily morale, especially regarding petty complaints/requests of customers, it can definitely bring you down. I understand it's tough and maybe it was just a bad day for Ben, but in attempt, even a half-hearted attempt, to ensure your customers coming back, maybe acknowledging when you were wrong would help. Especially with the mixed Yelp reviews of this place featuring defamation lawsuits for any reviews less than 3 stars. If I didn't just get a botched haircut from a remorseless butcher of a barber, I would have rated this business at least 4 stars. But that is not the case. I'm not sure if I will return in the future or try somewhere else. But one thing is certain: I know my hair will come back, but not my business to Ben. tl,dr: I DO NOT RECOMMEND BEN. He is rude, cold, and self-absorbed. He did not acknowledge, nor apologize, for messing up my cut that I paid for and deflected the blame on me. read more

My son took in a pic of the hair cut he wanted. Someone with the same texture and curl, they gave him a flat top!

From out of state and found Greenbriar online. I'm pretty specific about my cut. Walked right in and was in a chair. I got Daniel (2nd on the right) and he did an awesome job. Took his time and did what I asked. Will come back again. read more

HACK JOB! I went here based on the other reviews here and I was not only disappointed but I had to go back the next day to get my cut fixed. If you're just a white guy getting a normal men's haircut you're probably safe but they had no idea what to do with my curls. The price was right at first but I still tipped the second guy so I wound up with a $20 haircut that was way shorter than I had originally ordered. I will not return. read more

2 is I have experienced better, and it is much better. I went here twice. The first time was okay, Minh cut my hair. Quiet guy, did a good job, but wasn't friendly. I went in again today and was cut by Henry. The dude nailed a mole of mine and wasn't careful and when I went to shake his hand and say hello he couldn't careless. You work on tips, bro, act like you give a shit. Anyway, I won't be going back because these guys could careless to form relationships with their patrons. They have these punk attitudes and don't exude any sort of friendliness. I only went because of its close proximity to home. I also saw someone claiming they work for the company threatened to sue for defamation. Actually, this is yelp. You're allowed to say your experience. Get a clue. read more

My husband and two young sons see Minh and Van regularly. Most of the males we know in the area go to Greenbriar Barber Ship and for good reason. The barbers are all friendly, quick, and do a great job! All for just $14! Plus a lollipop if you don't cry, of course. read more

Been going here for a while now. Minh is the best in the area and can do any type of cut.
