Now, I have been in the NoVa area for almost two years now. I wish I knew this place the day I moved in. I have tried many a hair salons and barbers in my area, but Kim is by far the best barber I have encountered in my stay here in US. Firstly, the couple is very meticulous. I wear glasses and Kim's husband who was cutting my hair, put on my glasses for me at least thrice to see if the haircut looks good with them on. The attention to detail can wear you down. It took him a good 40 minutes to complete my haircut. So though a bit more pricey than average, the hourly rate is much lower than the rest and totally worth it. Would definitely recommend, for guys, at the least. read more

My first visit to Kim's Family Barber. I will come again. Haircut and shave were professionally done. It was a pleasure to find a shop that still does a shave and a haircut. Next time will also get the shampoo. Ambassador Klein read more

Great barber, make sure to call ahead for an appointment. She is usually busy and walk ins usually have to wait. Great price, good quality. read more

I've been going there regularly. Nothing has changed. It's like a time warp in a wonderful way.

This is my first time at Kim's Barber and I am happy with the results. The service was great and the barber gave me a great haircut. I will be back! read more

Kim's Family Barber - Outside of barber shop view from front. - Barbers Near Me - McLean, Virginia

Kim is the best in town! Very friendly and kind! When you are here you feel you are in your home! read more

Yes good cut ,but she is very popular. I suggest making a reservation. The massage and hot towel makes all your stress go away.

Kim is an incredible barber. Admittedly, we fight as to the length of my hair; she decides what it should be and my family loves the outcome. read more

My husband likes to go to Ms. Kim. Then again, it's hard to ruin a military cut. My son's hair does't usually fall into the same category. The first time my son went in for a cut, the stylist refused to do a high fade. Kept telling her that the area near his colic tends to stick out and it needs to be kept short. She didn't want to give my son a "military haircut" and decided to do her own thing. We ended up coming back a few days later to get it fixed. The second time we went, we had he same issue. I thought I'd try it one last time and ask for Ms. Kim. She gave us what we wanted. She does take her time, but asks lots of questions. So we now only go to see her. However, if my son decides to do a more eccentric do (e.g. faux hawk), we would probably have to go elsewhere. If you're looking for traditional haircuts then this is your place. read more

for $18 you get a phenomenal meticulous hair cut, that goes above and beyond the expectation. Off a quieter side street of Chain Bridge road this gem of a barbershop provides unparalleled cuts! Yes it is pricier than (i won't name names) some places in Maryland but for the same price as the Hair Cutter nowadays I would pick this place hands down. At the end of the hair cut, you get a phenomenal warm lather shave accompanied by a 5 min but it felt like 15 min massage of your scalp, forehead neck and ever shoulders! Then at the end of it all you get a nice warm towel wipe down of everything so as not to leave a single speck of hair behind. Who needs shampoo nowadays when you can settle for the aforementioned. And not to mention you get a free bottle of water at the end! Bring cash it preferred but if you can't a card is allowed too! read more

Lili or Lily was GREAT!!! First time here and will definitely be back! Very friendly place and really great work. Massage and hot towel are a very nice touch :)) read more

Kim exceeded my expectations today. Since I work in McLean, I was looking for a simple barbershop and stumbled onto her Yelp page. After reading the great reviews, I took a chance; the moment I sat down, I felt comfortable because she knew exactly what I wanted and didn't ask any questions. She was patient and meticulous when cutting, which did not make me feel rushed. After she finished my haircut, she used a straight edge razor to clean the sides and the back; however, it didn't stop there. She then provided me with a hot towel treatment to my face, followed with a back and neck massage. All of this for $18! Great job Kim and I wish continued success. read more

Professional. Attention to detail. Nice touches like a razor shave, warm eucalyptus face towel, neck massage (with a handheld machine), bottle of cold water. You won't be whisked away into thinking you're at the Four Seasons spa (whatever it's called) but they seem to be nice people who are good at what they do at more than a fair price. $20?! Help bring them up to market rate with tips :D. read more

First time at the new shop for me. Been a client of Kims for about 5 years and dont plan on going anywhere else. I have never had a bad haircut from her. So very happy for her and her new shop. Brought my 8 year old son who also got a stellar cut. Kim doesn't disappoint. The new shop is super nice and close to where she used to be. Im sure this is soon to be the best barber shop in McLean. Highly Recommended!!!! read more

I have been going to Kim for over 5 years and I wish I could give her 10 Stars....Kim recently opened her own salon and I know with her talent and ability to connect with her customers will position her business for great success. Yesterday, I received my first haircut at her new salon and it was perfect as usual. I find Kim's consistency is only matched by Chipotle's Burrito Bowls. Every time I visit Kim it is a wonderful experience and I look forward watching her grow her new business. Please do yourself a favor and get a cut from Kim. I live in Leesburg and work in Fairfax but she is well worth braving the DC traffic because her service is second to none and is only matched by her ability to cut hair. Congratulations Kim, this move has been a long time coming and I am going to tell anyone who will listen to come see you! read more

This place is AWESOME! Without a doubt, the best barber shop in the area. I just moved here a couple months ago and have tried several. There's no need to look any further! Kim's Family Barber has earned my business. They're friendly and take time with every customer. I was actually able to relax! The haircut was perfect! I'll be back for sure. read more

They did a great job with my 3 yr old son. He's pretty fussy about everything. They gave him a great cut! Very nice! read more

Kim's Family Barber - Side view! Great cut! Thx ladies! - Barbers Near Me - McLean, Virginia

I've been having Kim cut my hair monthly for almost 8 years now. This spring she opened her own shop, a dream that is 10+ years in the making. Go see Kim at her new shop, you will not be disappointed. I even drive out from DC because nobody in the area can cut hair quite like Kim! The hot lather, straight razor, and hot towel with eucalyptus, head/shoulder massage is not to be missed! read more

Very Very bad ... we tried our beat to recover the hair cut , but the lady wouldn't listen or understand . Big mistake . I stressed that they under stand on how i want the short cut to my son she've assured me but it was very very bad . read more

Congratulations to Kim on the grand opening of her new barber shop. Everything from the business signs outdoor to the seating arrangements to the decorations was managed so well. My friends and I all followed Kim from Dominion barber shop. It is the clear sign of her years of efforts, hard work and dedication. Kim is the best. Highly recommended. read more

For both quality and price, I don't think this place can be beat in the DMV. Kim is fantastic and all the other barbers I've had are great too. I get a tight fade and they do a great job. Love the hot towel, hot shaving cream for touch up and massage. Last time I checked it was only $18 which is pretty crazy--I give 25 total. read more

I got a regular haircut but was charged $30. So I asked and Kim told me that the shampoo is included in the price, even if I don't take it. Charging a customer for a service that hasn't been provided is just not right. read more

Waited 45 minutes to cut the hair and when it was my trun they told me to wait for some more time. In next minute they were cutting hair of different person. Wasted whole 45 min for nothing worst service ever never gona go back... read more

Kim is wonderful - cut includes straight razor neck shave, hot towel and neck massage. Highly recommend

Attentive workers and reasonable price. The ladies are very courteous and do work very hard to give you the best experience.

Do barber shops like this really exist still? What an amazing attention to detail from the family owned barbershop. A great haircut and scalp massage. Can not recommend enough. read more

Kim has cut my hair for many years. Now that she has opened her own shop, I am pleased to stay a loyal customer. I get a good cut, a hot towel, hot lather, and an excellent shoulder massage. read more

Kim's Family Barber - Leaving the shop after today's cut. - Barbers Near Me - McLean, Virginia

Saw the reviews for this barbershop online, and decided to give it a whirl. Unfortunately for me. The hairdresser did not give me the cut I requested (after showing her two pictures of what I wanted), and did not correct an issue I had with how she was shaping my hair, after I pointed it out to her three times. Sadly, she took way too much off, so I will have to grow my hair out again to get the cut I wanted. Additionally, after I left, I went to the bathroom at work to find my forehead still covered in small hairs that the hairdresser failed to dust away. Did not see any customers in the barbershop when I walked in, and now I know why. read more

Wow! BLUF: Cut was great, service was great, no wait, head/neck massage was UNREAL and the value is unparalleled! Just go and you won't regret it. read more

From the moment you open the door you are pleasantly surprised! After years of having Kim cut my hair at Dominion Barber, she opened her new shop about a month ago. I'm thrilled to have a clean, bright place to call my new barber shop. Kim is always a professional and works with a smile as she clips away. The service level is amazing! Razor cut, neck rub and very, very good haircut. I can't recommend this place anymore than five stars or I would! Stop by, you have my word you won't be disappointed. And oh by the way, I drive from Leesburg, Virginia for over 12 years to have my haircut from Kim because she's that good. here is the address: Kim's Family Barber Shop, 6728 Curran Street in McLean, 703.992.9313, kimsfamilybarber.com read more

Was in town needed a haircut and this is one of the few places that was open early on Saturday morning around 8:30. Nobody else there so got seated right away. Got a very thorough haircut and also opted in for a beard trim. Service was really friendly too and even ended with a massage. Only reason that isn't 5* is that some of the machines that used really scraped my skin and hurt. Haven't really felt that at other places before. Price was pretty fair, $18 for the haircut, and $7 for the beard trim. Not bad at all. Highly recommend this place. read more

Kim has cut my hair for nearly 14 years now and like a few of the other posters - I too followed her from Dominion Barbershop. I just got my first cut at her new place today. I've never posted to Yelp before, but someone so earnest and hard working - and so on-top of her game - deserves a hand in advertising her new business. I really want her to succeed in her new endeavor and am not surprised to see a few other loyal customers have posted here as well. Kim is the real deal. She's always provided an excellent hair-cut & neck shave - is very precise and attentive to her customers - and she works well with kids of all ages to boot. At Dominion, year-in-and-year-out, she was always in-demand and seemed to be the only one ever to have lots of appointments - probably because she was the best barber there. With her own place now, it's even better, roomier, neat, and cleaner. I actually live 20 minutes away from McLean, but I still drive over to get my hair cut by her. If you're looking for someone to cut your hair that you can trust, look no further than Kim :) read more

Kim is fantastic - I've been going to her for more than a decade, since she was at Dominion. She's great with kids too. Just a word of advice: get an appointment. She has many loyal customers who book appointments with her so the wait might be long if you want to see her. But her assistants are good too, so you can't miss. Another word of advice: get the scalp treatment. You'll feel like a million bucks... read more

Kim has always done a great job when she was at Dominion Barber. Now that she has opened her own place, that's where everybody should go. Her new place is clean, bright, great friendly atmosphere and as everyone knows she is the best barber in town. Congratulations on having your own place. It's been a long time coming. read more

I went to Kim when she was at old dominion barbers but I think it is great that she opened her own shop. I went there yesterday and she did a great job as usual but what did surprise me was how nice the shop was. Very clean and bright, plenty of parking and easy to get to. By far the best barber I have ever gone to. Matt read more

The owner (Kim) keeps telling other barber's in her native language which the customers don't have a clue about, but from the expressions we could make out that she's telling something about us. We felt this was rude. read more

We have always gone to the "other" barber in town, but decided to try this for our son with autism. It was a terrific experience. He got a fabulous and high quality cut, plus a hot towel and a massage. He said this is now his favorote....and hair cuts are tough for him. Great place! Clean and well maintained. read more

Had two different barbers and they were both very attentive and careful. I will be returning. Once you find a good barber, you usually stick with them forever. read more

Sadly Lynn left after only 1 haircut I received from her. This review is for the gentleman who also works there. It was, unfortunately, a poor experience. Poor communication, none too friendly, and when I went home, realized just how poor the haircut was and how many of the standard yet minute details had not been taken care of. I've moved on, at least until Lynn comes back (if ever). The owner does seem delightful, however, and I would make an appointment with her in a pinch. She is quite friendly and gracious from what I've seen/experienced. read more

Went last week. Still the best. Yelp questioned whether or not this review was sufficient, so I added this flowery language.
