I'd like to thank Mr.Lee and family (esp.Winter) for an amazing experience. I walked in and the shop is clean, the waiting chairs are Very Comfy, the barber seats are gilt and styled from the last century (1800s, that is). The lighting is directly out of dressing area of a movie set. Mr. Lee's whole family, all working together, add to the pleasant atmosphere. I went to Winter's chair: good looking sumo wrestler type. It was clear no one had ever cut my hair type before (I look Ethiopian, complete with the ringlet hair). Winter worked on my hair like Bernini worked on his statues - literally strand by strand, and got the job done - Nicely. It was clear he's really proud of his accomplishment and the whole family was surprised and pleased. So I am. Thank you, Winter and all at Lee's Barber Shop for a wonderful experience. Jay read more

Lee is the best in C'ville- and I've been to many, many places. He takes his time to get every stray hair. I don't spend money on (pamper) myself, except for this. Cut, beard, wash, and a bonus shoulder rub. Exceptional. read more

Lee has been cutting my hair for the last 5+ years as I used to go see him at another shop that he worked at previously. I would always wait for him to cut my hair even if there was a line because he does such a phenomenal job. When I learned he was opening up his own store, following him was a no brainer! His attention to detail is unmatched and the haircut feels much more expensive than what he ultimately charges. Highly recommend! read more

Heard about Lee through a facebook post on the Charlottesville page. So I decided to give him a try. Lee did a fantastic job cutting my hair and cleaning up beard. Great service too. Lee takes his time to do it right. This is a small business that I definitely will be supporting and will plan to return here when it's time for another hair cut. $35 For a haircut, beard trim, neck shave and shampoo is a helluva deal!!! read more

Very good haircut technology, good service, and clean. Highly recommended , I will recommend to my friends and family

Expert barber and very reasonable prices. His price for a shampoo and a haircut are below prices for just a haircut. He was able to do a difficult cut (flat top) expertly. Very seasoned barber. read more

I've never given a review on Yelp but with how great of a job Lee did, I felt it was my duty. Lee takes his time and ask you a lot of questions to make sure you get the best haircut. Not only does Lee do an A+ job of cutting hair, his prices are standard with the market. I believe it was $35 for beard and haircut. I can goes elsewhere for the same price but get poorer service and quality. Thanks Lee for the great experience and quality. I'll be back. read more

It is a really great barbershop. Lee knows what he is doing. Really happy that I found this place.

Have been going to Lee for years!!! I love my new cut from him! The barbershop shop is really nice and parking isn't a problem!

Best barber in Charlottesville and the prices are very reasonable. I have had my hair cut by Lee for the last two years and they're always perfect. So happy that he got his own shop! read more

I was looking for a new shop after my barber retired and saw Lee's after shopping at another store in Twenty-ninth Place. Very nice, friendly guy. Shop is new and spotless. Gave me a great haircut just like I wanted. Definitely would recommend. Open 7 days a week. read more

Great work - feel like a new man. Welcoming and clean space. Beard trim made me realize how scruffy I looked before. All hail Mr. Lee.

I'm very skeptical of reading reviews, but even these (nor mine) do the quality of Lee's Barbershop justice. In 33 years, Lee is the only person to provide a haircut I am beyond satisfied with. He was very quick, but in parallel, he was efficient, precise, and gentle. Going into it, I was nervous and I didn't have much faith. Lee sat me in the chair and asked me what I wanted, I told him short on the sides/back and leave the top longer, and I could tell he knew exactly what to do. I have a fairly lengthy beard as well and needed a shape-up (tapered). Again, he knew exactly what to do. He used several different types of clippers, straight razors, scissors, and probably more that I missed. Also, the infamous hot towel wrapper was nothing more than cathartic. It was very spa like. This is the type of barber who will cut one single rouge hair with scissors. My hair and beard have never looked better in my entire life. If I could give more than 5 stars, I definitely would. I'm going back and labeling myself as a regular for as long as I live Charlottesville. He's legendary. read more

I'm here from out of town and had some time to kill. Figured I'd get a haircut. Best haircut I've had in my life. Add it to the list of sightseeing in town. Can't recommend enough read more

After my review, there have been two messages from the owner. Yelp has not allowed me to respond to either. I went to this shop because I had heard that Lee is a good barber. I wear my hair in a '50s style with the sides 2-3 inches long and combed up and back with about 2-3 inches on top. I told the barber to cut nothing off the sides but to outline the ears and back, and to taper the sideburns. The first thing he did was buzz off all the hair on the sides--a 4-5-month loss. Either his English was so bad that he did not comprehend my instructions, or he did not care. Either way, it was a HORRIBLE haircut and experience. The owner's response was for me to return for him to cut my hair more. He apparently also does not comprehend the problem. The last thing I need is more hair cutting. I cannot recommend this shop--or, at least, I cannot recommend the barber who butchered my hair. read more

I went in because of a recommendation from my friend. I heard it was a good barbershop. I scheduled an appointment at three, and I came in at 2:55 and was immediately seated, which was great. I showed the hairstyle that I wanted to my barber who I believe was not Lee. I had long curly hair on top and the size was a little long. I also had a beard with not the longest hair but long enough where it was considered a beard. I asked only for a haircut to make the top a little short shorter and the side shorter. He did a great job of cutting the sides, but then he started to shave my beard, which I did not ask for nor wanted. He then also began cutting my hair shorter than I wanted. He got to a point where he was stylizing my beard. I thought it was OK where he had it, but I think there was miscommunication where he then kept shaving until I had a goatee. I was not a huge fan of it and I asked if he could shave it off. He nodded and then proceeded to do other stuff with my hair, which I thought was fine because we were going to get everything else done. After I asked him again he nodded again, and then five minutes later he took off everything and went up to the register and waiting for me to come up and pay. He was a very nice guy and I think there was an English barrier but I went in with a beard and curly hair and left with a goatee and very short hair. I would be willing to try again, but possibly would like a different person. Once again all the people they were super sweet but they kinda did the exact opposite of what I wanted. read more
