Fort McNair Barber Shop

If you’re looking for a basic cut at a good price, this is your place. Friendly barber. Get a pass to enter the base via base website.

This is my recommended go-to for military in the Navy Yard area. Hours are limited (Tue & Thu only, as of Jun 2022), but always open during posted hours and rarely very busy, perhaps due to the very limited signage. In particular, I have been incredibly impressed with the customer service, flexibility, and attention to detail from Dan—an incredibly skilled barber that is at this location every Tuesday and at JBMHH the rest of the week.

I know the hours are stiff but it's definitely worth the price and quality, especially when your average off-base DC haircut will run you $55-$70.

My barber was very good. She asking how I wanted my hair cut and was very diligent at cutting my hair exactly as discussed. This is definitely one of the best high-n-tights I've had. I'm very satisfied with the Fort McNair Barbershop.

Love it here. I get my haircut every other week, and the barbers are always pleasant, and do a thorough job.
