McLean Barber Shop

I walked into McLean Barber Shop in McLean, VA on Sunday, May 25th for a walk-in skin fade. Wait time was short, parking was easy, and the shop appeared clean. I paid $24 plus tip. The haircut looked fine initially, but within hours I developed multiple small red nicks all over the back of my head that turned into white crusty spots and a constant stinging sensation. Nearly a week later I’m still treating the area twice daily with 1% hydrocortisone cream and healing ointment. The discomfort and pain still persist. Would not recommend for a close fade. I attached pictures of the irritation throughout the week since I had the haircut

Great service with reasonable prices with well-trained and friendly staff. Very nice neighborhood place and also very popular. Visited for the first time as was so impressed that I introduced it to my kids as well. Another advantage is that the place is very quick with no long waits so you are in and out in no time, which isn't to suggest they rush. I would highly recommend.

My hair and beard cut took only 20 min. Them ladies doesn't know what they are doing. I wish I get my money back. They only know who to cut a bald head. No sanitation no skill and expensiv. They should stick with giving massage or nail and foot work. Hair cutting isn't for them.

Their prices are quite high because it's in McLean and rents are high which is fine and all, except I can go to a barber in Honolulu and get an amazing haircut/wash for eighteen bucks (before tip) by a man who has been cutting hair for over 40 yrs and is an expert. So for me to pay forty bucks + tip for a mens haircut/trim and wash then tip by someone who is not an expert and doesn't have decades of experience is a hard pass for me. Prices don't reflect the service and quality. You're only paying for the location since it's in McLean. Don't expect and amazing haircut, service, hot towel, and a 5 minute head massage like they do in Vietnam or even barber shops in the US. Here they will just rush through your hair as fast as possible and then expect a tip for that kind of service with no re

demand 20% or more on tip for poor service. Barbers are very rude.
