Today (2026-09-03) is the first time in many years that I booked a haircut with what I would…read moreconsider a "professional" barber shop. Previously, for some years, I have been going to Great Clips. Sadly, the results were not always great, if you know what I mean. I recently grew a full beard, too, so I also needed a beard trim, for sure. Tired of the Great Clips crap-shoot, I asked my AI, Claude, for a list of barbers that do both hair and beard trimming in Beaverton and he came up with a short list that included DITA Barbers, only 14 minutes from our house. Perfect!
So I booked an appointment at DITA with a barber named, Caleb!
There is no parking lot to speak of, but at 10am I had no trouble finding street parking across from DITA.
I arrived somewhat early, so a nice young lady named, Destiny, invited me to sit and wait for Caleb, who arrived right on time.
The atmosphere of DITA Beaverton was welcoming, nicely chill and the shop is very clean and professional. It felt good.
I told Caleb the length I wanted my hair and that I would leave my beard trimming and shaping up to him, so he went to work on me.
Such a great experience! Caleb was absolutely meticulous in the care he took cutting my hair. I was impressed. He preceded shaping and trimming my beard with a hot towel to soften things up and also did a razor trim, which felt wonderful and was greatly appreciated! And some facial moisturizer, too! I am very happy to be wearing the results of his efforts!
Caleb is everything you'd want in a barber - professional, very friendly and a good conversationalist, so the banter we exchanged was pleasant and interesting, a pleasant change from the Great Clips experience.
Thank you, Caleb, and thank you DITA Barbers, I will definitely be back!
