The Barber Studio

I followed Marco from his previous barber shop when he ventured out on his own. My biggest complaint with the barber industry is consistency. Marco doesn’t have that issue — the kid is a prodigy! He cuts my hair the same way every time! He gives the best fade in the DMV — not even a question.
His shop is awesome! I love booking my appointment in advance and not having to wait for a haircut. I’ve wasted too many hours in barber shops just sitting and waiting — not with Marco. Marco’s shop is an old school barber shop with new school flair. Go to Marco, he will not disappoint!

Recommended to me by a family member and have not been to another barbershop since. Marcos takes his time and highly values his customers! He is very easy going and gives you his honest opinion or recommendations on what would look better! Love his sense of style both on how he cuts his hair and his amazing studio here in Alexandria!

I’ve been going to Marco to get my hair cut for over a year. He always does an awesome job making you feel comfortable and his studio has a really nice aesthetic with a mixture of classic and modern décor. His haircuts are superb and he takes great care and attention to detail. Pricing is good and I especially enjoy the hot towel on my face after a cut. If you’re looking for a personable barber with good pricing and who really knows what they’re doing, Marco is your guy. He is by appointment only so be sure to download the booksy app and get on his schedule.

Marco consistently delivers excellent haircuts. He’s an expert at fading and understands (and remembers) exactly how I want my fades. It’s hard to find that consistency which I appreciate because I’m really picky when it comes to my hair. No more hit-​or-​miss. No more bad fades that leaves me me peevish for weeks. He takes his time and I never feel rushed. I’m very glad I found Marco!
His studio is perfect; nice and quiet. And it’s by appointments only which is fantastic! I book my appointments using the Booksy app at my convenience and never have to wait in line. I show up 5 minutes beforehand and get serviced promptly. Saves me so much time!
A random dude stopped me at the mall one day and complemented my hair and fade. I’d much prefer a pretty gal, but you catch my drift.

Spent exactly a year since moving to the NOvA area looking for a regular barber and had been unsuccessful until now. I went to Marco off of a recommendation from a friend and it was the best advice I’ve ever taken. The shop is a one man operation which sounds odd if you’re used to your typical barbershops but once you’re there you feel the difference. The entire time I felt like the entire focus was on me and making me comfortable as opposed to just getting me out of the chair. Marco also provides awesome conversation and we were so into what we were discussing that I hadn’t even noticed we were there for over an hour ! I haven’t been this confident after a haircut in years and I’m counting down the days to go back for a touch up. If you’re looking to get an amazing fade that lasts long and walk out of there feeling priceless, Marco is who you need to see.

Marco has been cutting my here for over 8 months now. He always does an exceptional job and I always leave satisfied.
When walking into the shop it looks a bit small but has a homey feel to it. The size doesn’t matter too much because he is a one man shop and is by appointments only. This is a option I like very much, really who likes waiting and sitting around for a haircut.
Once you are there he offers you a beverage and remembers how you cut your hair last time and ask if you want the same cut or change it up. He takes his time when cutting your hair and not rushing it just to get it over with.
He offers a loyalty program, as well. For every 10 hair cuts you get one for free which isn’t a bad deal. That’s about 1 or 2 hair cuts a year depending on how often you get your hair cut.
Once he is done cutting your hair he cleans you up and helps you relax with a hot warm towel. At first I wasn’t used to it but after a while you get used to it and realize it isn’t too bad.
Overall, Marco is a great guy and barber and I recommend him to anyone who ask who cut my hair.
