We love "True Reflections"! Carlos did an incredible job on my mother's hair. She loved it, and so did we and all her friends. The team at "True Reflections" was gracious and helpful as we brought in my elderly mother for a haircut. This is now her favorite place! read more

Service is exceptional. The vibe there is quite welcoming. Best barbershop on Richmond Hwy.

I brought my youngest in to see Kwan for a cut after he did an amazing job with my 13 year old! Kwan was patient, kind and so nice to both of my kids! (Youngest is 5). He gave both boys exactly what they asked for and the customer service is top notch. The shop itself is immaculate, smells nice and aesthetically pleasing. 10/10 would recommend. We won't be going anywhere else and Kwan is officially both of my sons barber. The owner was also super nice and made sure he greeted every customer that came in and engaged everyone in conversation. I cannot recommend this place enough. read more

I've been going to Nate for the past few months, and he does amazing work for really cheap. He's given me awesome fades, cleaned up my undercut shape and made it really slick, and does sweet designs. Nothing bad to say, I'm going to stick with him from here on out! read more

This is a great African American barber shop. I started using this barbershop in 2015. At that time I was 32 and my boys were 4 and 6 years old. The struggle when finding a great barber shop that caters to African american hairstyles is that they are normally located in improvised areas of the city. These area usually have great barbers and interesting clientele. The type of clientele that have inappropriate conversations despite the tender ears of their audience. This shop is not that shop. Yes, it's located on Route 1. And the owner has a firm grip on the atmosphere of the shop. Juan, the owner, does a great job hiring talented, respectful and punctual barbers. They have never cursed while my family was in the barber shop. They always treat the boys like little men. And they have engaging conversations with anyone interested in speaking at that time. Since I'm a young professional (at the time of this post) time is very important to me and my family. Especially on the weekends when we get haircuts. This shop opens at 6:30 am on Saturday mornings. By 7:30 am, all 5 barbers are in the shop ready to cut hair. This past Saturday (without an appointment), I walked in at 8:30 am and out by 10 am with 3 fresh fades. Not many shop provide such a quick turnaround and fresh fades. This shop also takes credit cards. No more running to the ATM before you head to the barber shop. Now you can pay the same way you pay everywhere. With plastic. I appreciate having a barber shop that's professional, kid friendly, punctual and filled with skilled barbers. If you get a chance to visit, tell Juan Abraham said hello. read more

See all

Great service, friendly staff. Will definitely be my go to shop out here in Alexandria!

Never come here. They'll set you up with someone who is training/doesn't know what they're doing and not with the person you set an appointment with. Wouldn't recommend this place to anyone ever. read more

It was my first time actually inside the shop, I brought my son to get his haircut, it was his second time in. Mannn, this place is dope! Immediately was offered something to drink, which was pretty cool. And the waiting area is like a little man-cave, big screen with sports on, a cool little fireplace, and comfy chairs. Kwan cut his hair, and man this guy is so cool, and took his time with my sons hair, which I really appreciated, i hate when people rush through... and it looks really good!! Had some good conversations with him and Juan (I believe he's the owner), they're very professional and had an all around great experience, I definitely recommend! Thanks y'all! read more

The best barber shop I've been to in Alexandria. The barbers are great at what they do and friendly. The service was one of a kind. You would consider this a five star shop too. read more

This was my first time getting a haircut at this barbershop. It came highly recommended and the owner Juan and the shop itself lived up to all of the hype!! The ambiance of the shop is very cool and relaxing. It's definitely a gentlemen's place and you are served by gentlemen. The services offered are second to none and the prices are definitely in line with the quality of service. This is absolutely my new regular shop!! read more

Just got a tight a** cutt from Juan at this shop. Very nice and clean I've never been in a shop like this one before. Big man with the glasses was on point and very nice from the time I got in sorry I can't remember his name but he and they all made me feel very welcomed. WILL DEFINITELY BE GOING BACK!!! read more

Juan had me feeling myself after my last cut! His shop is clean, modern, and welcoming for a female such as myself. Juan followed my description of what I wanted, leaving my cut clean and sharp. He is professional, polite, knowledgeable, and gentle (no redness on my forehead or nape - twice!). I will be back, tomorrow actually. read more

I couldn't recommend True reflections more. Juan been cutting my hair for 10 years now. He's gone from last chair at another shop to owning his own and flourishing. No nonsense in this establishment. Great conversation but everyone is always courteous, always clean, recent renovations give it a great vibe, and most importantly - I've yet to see a noticeably bad cut from any one of the barbers in the shop. Been in northern VA almost 20 years now and I've had a few good barbers and some ok barbers but no one that was capable of keeping my business for 7 years after I move 30 miles away... Again if you're in the area, or even if you live a reasonable ways out I strongly suggest you give the crew at true reflections a shot read more

Great haircuts and service. Ensure your reserve you spot as early as possible. You will like their work.

Great place, friendly service and great cuts. Hidden jewel and talent by the barbers, Definitely coming back. Kwan outdid himself on my cut, satisfied customer right here. read more

I was in dire need of a good barber in the NOVA area. I was looking far and wide for a legit barber that could cater to a person who is picky. I've tried all sorts of barbers and none of them could show the same type of excellence my usual barber does. That is until I came here, I walked in and it gave that feel of a laid back barbershop that you could be yourself and just come to get a haircut. All sorts of conversation was flowing throughout the shop..but it felt normal. I saw on Yelp that Cedrick was the guy to see when getting a haircut. When I sat in his chair he greeted me and asked what type of haircut I wanted. I showed him a pic and he cut it the way I requested! The only reason why I cut it down to a 4-star was because my line wasn't as great, but it wasn't bad either, but overall the cut was the best I've had in months! I told him that I have been looking for a permanent shop and Ced just said "Well, welcome home." And you know what..I think..excuse me, I KNOW I'll be back. #NoArnold. read more

Greetings Fellow Yelpers, If you didn't already know, it is extremely difficult to find a skilled and consistent barber in Northern Virginia. I have lived in Falls Church since mid December 2014 and have been to 4 different barbershop (I won't name them this review is to serve the purpose of True Reflections). They were either unprofessional, unwelcoming, or flat out could not cut. Let's get into the True Reflections review. The location of the shop is in a small plaza in Alexandria. I haven't had issue finding parking as of yet but I can see that it could potentially be and issue on a busy Saturday. The first time I walked into the shop I was immediately greeted by the barbers and asked if I need a cut. I was told to go to a barber by the name of "Q" so I had a seat after articulating that information. As I was sitting and waiting on my cut, the first thing I noticed was how clean the shop was. Now I'm not just talking about there not being any hair on the floor. I'm talking about clean seats, clean mirrors, and clean equipment. You could really tell that these men took pride in their place of business. The second thing I notice was the precision of each barber. Although I was told to go to "Q", after watching each barber work I would have felt comfortable going to either one of them. In terms of the environment in the shop, it was typical of your average African American barbershop. Sports talk, jokes, chess board, two TV's and vending machines for snacks and drinks. NOW WHAT REALLY MATTERS, THE CUT. "Q" was very attentive when I was instructing him on how I wanted my hair cut. He made sure he understood what I was looking for before he proceeded. At the end of the cut I was very pleased. He did not push my hairline back or even attempt to recreate my natural hairline in order to get the straightest line possible (Pushing hairlines back seems to be a common theme with the barber that I have experienced in VA). My lines were straight, my fade actually faded, and he changed the blade of the straight razor before taking it to my face. Overall I had a great experience at True Reflections. I'm actually writing this review as I wait to get in the seat. The reason I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 was because "Q" told me that he does not schedule appointments. I live approximately 30 mins away. Could be worse if it's during peak hours. I value my time so it's not ideal to travel 30+ mins and then wait for 2 or 3 people to get their hair cut before I am seated. If I had the ability to schedule appointments there is no question that this shop would deserve a 5/5. read more

Excellent, speedy service. The barbershop consists of six booths, but I think only five barbers are here. I recommend this place to any man looking to get a haircut. There is a private parking lot that can be used by customers coming to True Reflections and the shops in the area. There is plenty of sitting room and it is always clean. Kid friendly. I didn't witness anything unprofessional, while I was here. read more

This by far the BEST barbershop in the Northern Virginia and DC Metropolitan area!! I've been a returning customer for 10 years now. I came here after getting a bad haircut from another barbershop and the haircut I received here made me look and feel like a new and better man. The atmosphere is family friendly and I love how they are always participating in events for the less fortunate or troubled youth in the community. The owner is very professional and down to earth!! They cut every type of texture and style of hair, straight, curly, wavy, military style, trendy, and they do it well. You can go any to any of the barbers in the shop and I guarantee you will love your haircut!! read more

They give really good haircuts but need to learn that the barber shop is a place of business. Yall are not there to hook up with females and chill with the homies! I waited almost an hour while the employees took their friends,and decided to eat instead of take customers. My $15 holds no less value than "brah"from around the way. Haircuts are a 5 star Customer service is a 1 read more

Juan the shop owner and his barbers are the absolute best. Stepping right in to true reflections you greeted nicely by everyone. It's up to you if you want to wait for any open chair or wait for a specific barber. I been to all the barbers so I got confidence in them all. read more

My boyfriend was extremely happy with his haircut. He could not stop talking about his experience. Moving from NYC, he was skeptical about getting his haircut out here. He's only had his haircut by one person his whole life but this will now be his primary barber, as he will definitely be going back. read more

Literally the best haircut for my boyfriend - the shop is super cute; run by a family: greeted by the wife, the son washed my BF hair and then the barber did his job. Love this small business and highly recommend. read more

Man, you know how it is trying to find a new barber shop you want to fool wit. I peeped some good reviews on Yelp for this spot and decided to give it a try. Cedrick hooked up my cut and I'll be returning. The atmosphere in there is real chill. While waiting, the barbers and clients were engaged in your normal barbershop convos (KD's impending free agency, NFL football, race relations, etc.). I'm glad I was able to find a new spot. Check em out... read more

Yessir!! This is the barbershop to go to. You won't find a better barber that offers the service and hospitality they provide. Best barber in the DMV. You won't be disappointed! read more

Made an appt. for my son this is our second return to True Reflections. They did such a great job helping to make sure my son felt comfortable and had an enormous amount of patience for him (as he is on the spectrum). Appointment times were actually honored when you showed up-no long wait times. read more

Awesome Barber Shop! Q was on point with my 1st cut and looking forward to continue to give this shop my business and let my friends know where to get a good cut and enjoy the environment. Keep up the good work! Thanks for all you do. JL read more

Every time I come here it is a better experience than the time before. Good cuts, good people, good vibes. Best barbers in the highway.

Q is the cool chill cat that remind me of the south smelling like 3 T.i CDs and peach pie and knocks is the uncle in your family that does the running man! Juan brings it all together making the atmosphere a great place to get a cut at! And makes you feel welcomed with his valor sweat suits! All to say it's fun and very professional at the same time getting the job done! I recommend this place to the fullest! Best barbers in town! read more
