Top notch - just amazing place. My son 18 and my dad 76 went and had a cool and relaxing time getting pampered and shaped up. They chilled and were treated like gold. If you want a great experience - with someone warm and personable and professional who can give you a fresh fade and minister to your beard - this is the spot. Five stars, highly recommend, will be back.Services: Beard maintenance
Haircut was nice but I only went because OneLife Gym also in the same buding had a promotion with them and a sign that said "one free service". I set up an appointment and only AFTER I got my haircut did the person say "it's only 10% off". Went back to OneLife to let them know in case there was a mixup, but the OneLife manager said that it should've been a free haircut. Not sure why I ended up paying for my haircut but probably won't go back anyways.
I didn't want to leave this review, but he really messed up my hair. I have really long hair in the front, and he just snipped over half of my widows peak off. ALL the rest of my hair in the front is very long and gets swooped over to my left side, but now I have a very short widows peak which points straight out : Very disappointed in the cut and even more in the service because I paid for full service and he rushed me out of the shop by saying "I'm sure you need to leave, so we won't do the shampoo." Honestly worst experience I've had at a barber. You may have a great experience, but I did not.
TLDR, ask for someone other than Randy unless you want a haircut with shaking hands So to start off, the staff was very nice and professional. I was offered whiskey and water while I waited for the barber and I thought that was very hospitable. So 10/10 for service, however, I went to get a haircut and oh boy did Randy mess it up. It wasn’t apparent when he was done as the hair had gel and the back of the head couldn’t be easily observed, but I knew something might’ve been wrong because Randy’s hands were shaking like there was no tomorrow. Nothing personal, he was very nice and polite, but there are several jobs that you probably should not take on if you cant hold your hands somewhat still and I believe cutting hair is one of those jobs. This shouldn’t be a reflection on any other barber or the barbershop as a whole, but I feel like that should’ve been checked before hiring? Especially at this price point? In any case my hair is messed up for $45 before tip and I will have to go and spend that money somewhere again to get it right.
This was my first visit to the Grooming Store, and I was very impressed. The store is immaculate, and I was greeted by a very pleasant receptionist who offered me complimentary whiskey in light of my first visit. I didn't have to wait long before Flavian introduced himself and guided me to his chair. He asked what I wanted done, and he then explained what would happen. In ~30-40 minutes, Flavian was finished working his magic. The entire experience was very relaxing, and I love the results. My only warning is that the store at the Ballston location is not easy to find. It's on thr second floor on the outside of the mall. Otherwise, all was wonderful.
In spite of asking customers to click through an agreement to a strict cancellation policy, appointments mean nothing here.
I came here to get my beard trimmed before my wedding proposal. I was greeted by Hayah when I arrived. The store is very clean. But let me tell you about time beard trim! I didn’t know a beard trim could be so precise, so thorough, so amazing. I was expecting a 10 minute beard trim and Hayah spent an hour essentially trimming my beard with the artistic vision of a Picasso. I got a lot of compliments from my significant other and others that evening. Seeing how amazing the beard trim was I will definitely be back here again as well as for a haircut.
