Diego's Hair Salon

I came in here a week ago while on vacation in DC. I was looking to get my beard trimmed and my head shaved. I was hoping for something a little more affordable as other places nearby charged around $40-50 for the service (though in those cases they did straight razor shaves.) I came in here and the place was packed, but I was directed to an empty chair being serviced by a woman whose name I honestly don't recall. The head shave was fine though it was an electric razor shave. The beard trim was also fine, very basic but it was done well. The two stars are for three reasons. First, she didn't have a proper shaving brush to brush away hair from my neck, face and ears. She kept using her hairdryer and blowing it directly into my ears. Second, whatever aftershave she used made me break out on the back of my neck under my hairline. Third, the cost came out to $40. Everything I found via google said it would be $25. I realize she did my beard AND head, but usually since a head shave is a very quick buzz process, it is included in a beard trim or is just maybe a $5 additional charge. I would never come back.

Great cuts. They treat you well here. Cash only. They should turn on the AC though. It can get hot.

I have lived in DC for 2 years and tried many different barbershops in the Foggy Bottom/Dupont area. I finally got it right with Diego's. Edis was wonderful. Will be a repeat customer.

An icon of tonsorial art, and deservedly so. Great cutters. The owner Diego is a maestro. I have seen Diego make a customer look 10 years younger just by the quality of the cut. And I have my favorite cutter who is so good that my wife approves of my hair!
