I'm not into the $75 salon cut since I basically get a buzz cut with a few snips of the scissor. Nonetheless, I've had some truly terrible hair cuts from other "barbershops" in my lifetime. Williard Barber Shop is the real deal though. The shop is clean and bright with a TV in the waiting area. They are well-staffed so a long wait is rare and they are all friendly and professional. The attention to detail is great, I've never had a sloppy looking cut. Hot towel and a straight-edge shave on the back of the neck 100% of the time. I highly recommend Willard Barber Shop and will continue to get my hair cut here.

Very courteous, professional and skilled. I arranged for a manicure for my mom and pedicure for my dad, both done by Jacqueline. She was very warm, polite and professional from start to finish.

I treated myself to the Premium Haircut with Lawrence and the Premium Pedicure with a talented young lady whose name I, unfortunately, forgot--but her skill and care were unforgettable. Lawrence delivered a top-tier grooming experience with the Premium Cut. Every detail was handled with precision--from the razor outline and warm foam to the aftershave massage and relaxing lavender-infused hot towel. I walked out looking and feeling my absolute best. The Premium Pedicure was equally indulgent. From the warm soak and peppermint sugar scrub to the massage and paraffin wrap, every step was designed for total relaxation and care. My feet have never felt better. I also enjoyed the Premium Manicure, which was the perfect finishing touch. The exfoliation, hydration, and attention to detail were exceptional. To top it all off, I was offered complimentary beers, which added to the upscale, laid-back vibe. Hammer & Nails isn't just a grooming spot--it's an experience. I left feeling refreshed, pampered, and appreciated. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to elevate their self-care routine. I even purchased my membership. On a side note: I would like to have one closer to me in Gaithersburg.

Her attention to detail and skill with layering completely transformed my look. My hair now feels healthy, bouncy, and SO much more flattering!

### 1-Star Disaster at Barber Effects (more like Defects) - Avoid at All Costs!…read more I walked into this barbershop today hoping for a fresh look, showing the barber a clear reference photo of a curly mullet - you know, that trendy, layered style with volume on top and length in the back. What did I get? A buzzed-to-the-bone disaster that looks like it was done with a weed whacker. My curls? Gone. My mullet dreams? Obliterated into a generic, ultra-short crop that makes me look like I lost a bet. Shocked, I flagged down the owner/barber to complain. He took one look, agreed it was "very short" (understatement of the year), and offered to comp the service as an apology. Fair enough, right? But here's where it gets messy: the original barber (JC, as I later learned) didn't even bother lining up my hairline. It's crooked as hell around my temples and neck - like a toddler drew it with crayons. Total amateur hour. I politely asked for JC's name to reference in my feedback, and the owner/barber straight-up grilled me: "Why do you need his name?" I explained I was leaving a review to warn others. His response? "Please don't do that." When I stood my ground and said I absolutely would, he flipped the script - threatened to charge me (and did) for the haircut anyway, and topped it off by calling me "spoiled" as I walked out the door. Spoiled? For expecting a basic competence from a professional service? This place is a joke. Rude staff, zero accountability, and haircuts that ruin your day (and your self-esteem). Save your money and your sanity - go literally anywhere else. JC and the owner/barber should be ashamed. Never again.

While it was out of our way (it's not accessible by metro), we chose it due to the easy to use website, straightforward pricing, great reviews on google and customer images that were exactly the style we were looking for. And WOW... the commute was 100% worth the cost of an Uber ride. We booked with Frank and couldn't believe the magic hands this man has! hahaha. Frank is funny, kind and was super helpful bringing both his expertise and listening skills to the table. We showed up with a few samples of what we wanted and Frank worked his magic on my friend's hair and beard. I also was super annoying recording everything for TikTok (haha!) because, well, we wanted to make a funny video of the experience for our friends - and Frank was so fun to work with. He even jumped in some pictures with us at the end. Most important, my friend got so many compliments on his new look afterwards. I highly recommend Barber Effect and Frank!

I told her I wear my hair natural (curly) and that I wanted someone who had experience cutting mixed pattern curls. she said she did. I went and she gave me bangs that I didn't ask for, which is not something I would ever want, then asked if I wanted her to style my new cut. I said no because I want to go home and diffuse it. she said to please let her do the bangs at least so I said yes just to please her but then she proceeded to blow out the entire hair style. it looked nice but I don't ever blow out or straighten my hair so I had no clue what it Even would look like when I left as I would actually wear it. I went home, soaked my hair and did my routine. my curls are completely damaged and have lost their natural wave and pattern. i now have straggly bang pieces just flying everywhere and my hair just looks really awful. i have been working so hard on getting my natural curls back and this just set me back. I have been wearing it up since I got it cut and refuse to wear it naturally now. I don't feel like I was listened to at all and she just gave me the haircut she wanted to do which looks the same as all the other photos in the reviews. she essentially gave me a haircut for straight hair when I have wavy and curly hair. now I have to wait for this to grow out and get it fixed after spending $75 on this. I feel like every thing was out of my control which is the opposite of how a haircut should be. I've cried off and on about this because I just feel like I lost the little bit of confident I had - my curls.
