If only there are 10 stars to give, I would for these reasons:…read more- very clean and well lit space, with ample seating on the perimeter around the main styling chair - Mr James master barber extraordinaire is soft spoken, listens to what you want/need done - his haircuts are masterpieces - just look at the pictures of actual customers whose hair he has transformed My dad was in dire need of a great haircut. His crown is almost completely bald but kept the rest long. He looked haggard and just older than his age. When Mr. James was done, my dad is a different man . Short on the sides... and shaven! My dad looks like a trillion bucks distinguished akin to Marlon Brando in the last Godfather! Mr. James, it is a pleasure meeting you. My dad is staying with me for 2 months, visiting from Northern VA. I will definitely drive an hour from VA Beach to have my dad get another royal treatment before he hire back to NOVA for Thanksgiving. Everyone should have your good old fashioned, pampered haircut and shave at Hamtown Barber and (lots of) styling.

Hair cut was great and the barber was friendly with good conversation. Next time I'm in town this is the place I will be going to. FYI no CC only cash. Standard fade cut was around 20$. Great place will come again.

I would not recommend if you plan on just walking in. I waited over an hour just to be seen for a…read morehaircut. Had it not been for a last minute event I needed to attend I would have walked out. The shop is full of barbers and non willing to take a walk-in, even when they aren't working on someone. So give it a try only if you have two plus hours to burn, if not take your money and time somewhere else.

The good they had one barber that was great. He was on you tube and posting his videos- that's how…read morewe found him. The bad: as a new person in town-NO ONE TOLD ME I needed an appointment to get my sons hair cut. Every where I lived before was walk in first come first serve. So I sat there for hours on 3 or 4 different Saturdays trying to get a haircut and settling for people that didn't cut as well- while no one says anything to me about the location of the scheduling web site, the process for getting an appointment - anything! In short the customer service is absent! When we finally got the appointment with the video barber- he was just ok. I have had worse and I have seen better- from him. That was 4 years ago and I am still heated.

I visited and had Lindsey (I hope this is the correct spelling..."e" or "a", my apologies if I chose incorrectly) today.She is great!! Highly recommend asking for Lindsey! She works ~3 days/week, so plan ahead and accordingly. She gave me a great experience and amazing straight razor shave. Great massaging application of shaving oil and cream. What a great experience! I'll be back. Everyone is friendly and professional from the time you enter the door until you exit. Eddie is @ the front desk, and don't forget your beer! Music selection was eclectic and on point. Military??? Don't forget to ask for your military discount!! One thing about Jakes's place is it can be a 1-stop shop for anything a man may want or need. Haircut , of course they have you covered, Straight razor hot lather Shave, and other services offered: waxing, massage, pedicure, manicure, steam room with shower, body waxing, facials Update to original post: Karen is no longer employed @ Jake's.

I've been trying out different barbershops in the area and haven't been impressed. I FINALLY was able to get into Jake's Place and definitely glad I did!! I had to "settle" for a weekday appointment because they were booked up solid through the weekend for about two weeks, but it was far short of "settling" when I had the haircut. I was more than thrilled with the way my hair turned out and do believe I have finally found my local barber!! The atmosphere is great, the staff is friendly and the cuts are amazing!!! Thank you!!!

I made an appointment on my birthday to get a skin fade, my neck cleaned up, and beard lined up. Without going into a tirade rant, the experience was not good. I did not feel welcome as a customer and after paying in cash and asking for change back (which included a 25% tip) I was handed a handful of bills that I later counted and realized was $3 short. I won't be going back.

I thought this place would be inviting and accepted people of all kinds but I guess my kind is not accepted here. If I could give negative stats I would. My hair cut at the time was a simple low fade with a two finger clip at the top. Have had this same haircut for past twenty years, usually takes 20 minutes to complete. Nothing out of the ordinary.

I decided to let mine grow, and grow it did, eventually morphing into a ponytail. It got to the point to where it was a bother, and I decided I needed to get it taken care of. I wanted a good haircut in a good barbershop....not an $18 cut at a chain shop. Internet research led me to The Proper Barbershop. I had a terrific experience at The Proper. Alexandria listened to what I had in mind and took excellent care of me. Great cut, hot towels, beard and mustache maintained, eyebrows trimmed, hot lather straight razor shave, facial massage.....just outstanding. After all was said and done, I had ten years shaved (pun intended) off my appearance, and I received more compliments on the cut/trim than I could count. I can't recommend The Proper Barbershop enough...great atmosphere, friendly attentive staff, and a most excellent result....well worth every penny!
