Dong is an excellent barber. He has been cutting my hair for 10+ years. Highly recommend!

Let me start by saying folks at the shop are nice and the customer service is fine. That said, if your coming here for a fade/tapered haircut, you're better off going elsewhere. I came here in a pinch because I needed a haircut and my barber had no appointments. Dong cut my hair. Overall the fade was okay, but it looked like he accidentally went too high in one of the strokes and it was pretty evident. He insisted it was just that "my hair was difficult in that part" and not his mistake. I still asked that he try to fix it, but it ended up uneven. Bottom line - if you're not a gambling person with your hair, you're better off avoiding this spot. read more

Rick's Barber Shop - Uneven fade - Barbers Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

My husband and son have been going here for years and are very happy! Dong is very meticulous and does a great job.

Went in here for a cleanup on my fade, was told they "don't cut women".. I wasn't coming in and asking for a haircut, I was asking for a fade-which would be like any other guy coming in and getting a fade. The employee who answered was a skinny asian man and seemed very close minded and stubborn with his answer, as in a woman asking for a fade was something terrible. Shame, they turn down business simply because of the gender. read more

This past Saturday, 28 January 2012 ... I come into Rick's about 2:20 PM but there's about four other people in front of me. So, I go take a seat. Then a Vietnamese woman, in her mid-twenties says "Next" but nobody moves. I look around and said, "Oh, who's next? I don't want to butt in line". They all point to another barber and say they are waiting for him. Well, my haircut was just fine with one exception I noticed but she fixed while I was still in the chair. It was a very professional looking haircut. read more

Excellent work. Every time I'm in Rockville, I go to Ricks for a haircut and beard trim. Great focus and attention to detail. The best.

Ricks barber shop is a great place to get your haircut! Family friendly and a great price point.

I have never been genuinely happy after a hair cut until I got it here. Vicki cut my hair and explained to me what she was doing and what I needed to do to keep my hair healthy. If you need a new barber, come here. Also, heads up, they only take cash or checks. No credit cards. read more

Good service. I was looking for a black barber shop here in Rockville but didn't find any. Went into Rick's and they did a great job! I will continue to take my sons here. read more

The place is okay. I had to keep on asking to cut shorter but the barber cutting my hair was nice, quiet but cooperative with my requests. It's cash or check only so make sure you have atleast $20-25 in your pocket when you go here. Overall the place was alright to get a men haircut. read more

Looking for a black barber, read the reviews and came here! Place is quiet and clean so 3 stars but we wanted a fade Mohawk and got a blow out!! 2 star cut! read more

I've been coming to Rick's since I was a kid ....it'd been 18 years and I'm still going back. Although a lot has changed since the old days. But if ur looking for a good cut, at a good price from decent folks come here. As for Ramzi....he'll hook you up. Oh cash only. read more

Worst experience of my life. If you want a barber who will do the exact opposite of what you ask for or the exact opposite of the pictures you show, go see Dong. I must also say that i signed up for yelp to review this because it was just such a bad experience. The upsetting part is I've heard such good things about this place for such a long time. I don't recommend this place for anyone looking for a specific hairstyle. It seemed like this guy only knew how to do one hairstyle when he assured me he could do what i showed him. read more

I've been going to Rick's Barber Shop for over 20 years. I've gone through two barbers who have retired, and now use the other barbers, most often Vivian. I've never been disappointed. First cutting will take a bit longer since I try to explain how I want it cut so they can do it right, and learn what I am looking for. Sometimes adjustments will be made, if needed, after we review the original "finished" product. All Vietnamese except Vicki. They seem to all have loyal customers who ask for them specifically. I highly recommend them. read more

Great place! Real barbershop with real professionals who take pride in cutting hair and giving excellent and curteous customer service. Best haircut I've had in a long time. read more

This place does not get the credit it deserves. I went here thinking I was going to get an okay haircut that would hold me over until I find a really good one in the area. Well I know where I'll be getting my haircut from now on. I had Tommy cut my hair today, it was one of the best experiences at a barber I've ever had. He was meticulously artful in his work and didn't stop until my hair was perfect! Go see Tommy and you won't be disappointed. read more

This place is great. I've been coming here for over a decade now and can tell you that these guys will cut your hair exactly or almost exactly how you want it even if it's your first time. They are also amazing at hiring new barbers when old ones have to leave/retire. Dong is currently my barber, but I've seen many people go for George and the others. I highly recommend Rick's if you are new to the area or are looking for another barber to go to! read more

I always have my hair cut as a close taper on the sides and back. I have had my hair cut by Vicki, Vivian and George at Rick's Barber. All have given me a good haircut. Dong has cut my son's hair twice, a simple little boys cut. Each time Dong has done a fine job. I know it's difficult to find places with which one is pleased. Thus, I thought it would be helpful to submit this review. Furthermore, a good service deserves a good review. The service is friendly and quick and Rick's barber will validate the parking. I have always found a parking spot at the shopping strip in which Rick's is located. read more

WORST "Barber Shop" EVER Went in on a Friday afternoon. Noticed 3 other people waiting though one of the "barbers" appeared to be free. Soon after I sat down he called next but no one else moved and motioned to me (I would soon find out why they would rather wait). I asked for a simple mens haircut short back and sides, longer on top. What I got was a disaster that looked like it had been done by a blind, retarded, one-armed chimp. Toddlers who cut their own hair look better than I did after George was done with me. After he said he was finished I was at a loss, both at where to begin to explain the general horribleness of the hair cut, and at the gall that George expected to be paid for such an obviously worthless effort. Then out of nowhere the "barber" at the next chair over told me to sit and wait till she was done with her current customer and she would "fix" my hair. After waiting awhile a third "barber" called me to her chair where her efforts to "fix" the original botch job were to cut my hair shorter and shorted until she essentially shaved my head into a crew cut. So after wasting more than an hour, two shit haircuts and a cost of $15 I look like a cancer patient or someone trying to treat a case of lice. Thanks Ricks, YOU SUCK!!! read more

i dont know how true this could be,but i worked with an asian lady,who i used to with there and i know for a fact that she can not cut,when we worked together half of the times i had to fix her haircuts cuz customers got irriates cuz she had no idea wat she was doing,and about this place being the only barber shop in gaithersburg/rockville that"gets it" is a big statement,cuz i know for a fact that there are alot of barbershops that can do a high skin fade,like primos barber shop and also rockville hair design off rockville pike do those types of haircuts,including designs,dont get me wrong i`m glad that the review before is happy with his cut but to say that it seems to be the only barbershop in gaithersburg/rockville to only do a good job is insane,with all due respect read more
