Hi Barbershop

As of February 2016, Hi Barbershop has new ownership and new barbers. I followed my previous barber, Mai, from her former barber shop. She has cut my hair for more than 15 years, does an excellent job every time, and is very pleasant. I expect as she puts her brand and personality on Hi Barbershop, hair cuts and service will get better and better.

Went in for a haircut and beard maintenance. After trimming my beard to an undesired length he proceeded to use a straight razor on my neck. First the shaving cream was cold and barely on my skin before he took a dull/​used blade to my neck. My skin always take a shave well and I never get razor burn until I was shaved at HI barber. What a waste of time and money. Do not go

Used to frequent more often, but was in neighborhood and decided to get a haircut. Was wide open during the day. Ana took her time and was very pleasant. Even trimmed eyebrows and ears! They know how to add a nice touch with facial massage as well. $ 16 was reasonable.
Returned in February of 2015. New ownership. Paulina was very nice and does a good job on haircuts. They are very hospitable and looking to attract new customers.

Went there a few months back, got my haircut by Don in the first chair and got a real solid haircut. No complaints from that time. Went back there today and like a fool let Henry, in the last chair get me. DO NOT LET HENRY CUT YOUR HAIR! The dude barely speaks any English, which in the past has never really been a problem if the barber knows what they’re doing. He gave me the worst shape up of my life, literally looked half an inch higher on one side than the other and then went to go eat his lunch without even an apology, probably because he didn’t realize how terrible it was, because he’s a really awful barber. Seriously this guy should have his license revoked. Anna in the second chair tried her best to fix it, so I commend her for that, but now I look like have a LeBron James type receding hairline. I honestly can say I can’t go back to place that knowingly allows someone like Henry to continue cutting people’s hair. If you go here it’s Don or bust. Maybe even call ahead and make sure he’s there. If my phone wasn’t ancient and could take and upload photos I would show you what he did to me, but just take my word for it when I say it’s not very pleasing to the eye. Seems like a small business with decent people so I feel kinda bad leaving this mean of a review, but man, this is a bad haircut.

Anna’s the best barber, used to have kimberly cut my hair but now she’s gone. Been a loyal customer but too much turn over here so its hard to try to stay with the same barber.
The straight razor neck and over the ear trim are a nice touch, above and beyond the hair cuttery type places. Same can be said for the massages at the end, which can vary from a gentle temple massage to karate chopping of shoulders. Different techniques depending on the barber.
My loyalty may end if they dont get the new guy under control. He’s shown up and decided his mix of somewhat loud easy-​listening (to some) music is better than the tv’s.

This is my go-​to barber. It’s located across from the Burke Post Office and in the Giant Grocery store strip mall. A mere $ 14 gets you a standard cut, and a quick scalp massage. It’s no frills and there is no hair wash. There is usually a wait since it’s popular with the locals. I’ve actually seen women here too.

Anna took care of me. Don’t get me wrong, she was very nice and all, but just not that great of a barber. I asked for a fade with longer hair up top, even showed her a picture. It was not much of a fade, it just goes from really short to longer all of a sudden. And it was NOTHING like the picture.
She was more worried about getting other business and return business than she was about doing a good job. She asked me to refer her in order to get more business, I don’t think I will. Instead, I think I’ll stick to my barbers in Brooklyn from now on, they actually know what they are doing.

I wont be back. I had been once and Chris did a good job but the last time I went he quit while I was waiting for him. He was packing his equipment.

Found this barbershop a few months ago after my cousin, who worked at PR Partners in Tysons moved out of state. So I was pretty spoiled at getting quality cuts at a hair salon. I was wolfing pretty bad so I just took a chance and went to this local barbershop, and was very happy. Kimberly always does a great job. My fades are always nice and even, and she takes her time. I’m happy I found a decent replacement.

I don’t have much hair so my cut is simple. I go mostly for the massages.

Went to Hi Barber based on reviews on Unilocal.I had a shave only. Really REALLY BAD!!! I don’t think the blade was sharp and did not use hot towels, as a result I have major razor burns on my face. Very painful after the service and I would not recommend. I will definitely not be returning!
They may be fine for other services, however this service was horrible. If you are looking for even a decent shave, I would look elsewhere.

Vicky is great. She gave me the best haircut I have ever had. I highly recommend this place.

Got a great haircut by Anna. Very pleasant experience. It’s great to see a barber shop that still appreciates the importance of a friendly environment, great service, and a hot towel w/​massage for a finishing touch. I will definitely come back.

I agree with the previous review. Anna is the best at Hi-​Barber and she is also the owner. This is a family business that provides the lost art of hospitality. The atmosphere is closer to two stars. The shop is very clean just a little dated. The magazine selection is above average while you wait for a chair to open (5min). The barbers are great though. The price for a cut is $ 14, beard trim $ 9, and a shave is $ 14. I think they should offer a combo haircut and shave for $ 25 which would really expand their business.
After the haircut is where Hi separates from the pack with a hot shaving cream straight razor cut on the back of your neck and sideburns. A nice mild after shave is applied which leaves you with a numb sensation. The hot towel from the back of the shop is brought out and then a head and neck massage follow.
The price is right, the service is great, and I’ll always go a little out of my way to support a nice family business.

I recommend HI Barbershop and more specifically Anna. She was fantastic and it was the best haircut in a long time. She was very friendly and even stayed late with her daughter to fit me in at close. I’ve been coming here for years and always like the results but now Anna has topped everyone else that works here. I will be a regular of her’s from no on.

My hair cut is very simple, I get the standard buzz cut. But nonetheless, the barbers here do a great job. They taper it off in the back and even get out the scissors towards the end to get the random hairs that the razor doesn’t get. Like any good barber should, they use a straight edge razor along the back of my neck and around my ears at the end. The price is decent ($ 14 as of this writing for me). There’s not much more to say.

Got caught with an old viet lady and completely messed my hair game up. From my experiences, elderly asian female barbers are the worst. They never listen to what you request, always work just one side of your hair (your do turns out uneven in the end), and will get sidetracked easily with chatter.

Hi Barber is run by a rotating cast of Vietnamese family members after a couple of years of getting my hair cut I know to constantly maneuver to avoid the older ladies who both take interminable phone calls in the middle of hair cuts and can while away an hour while they snip at your hair.
The men however are uniformly quick and very good. They offer a few touches that are really unusual and well worth a stop. The hot towels are nice and hot and they make a real effort to get all the bits of hair off your face. The massage is a nice touch as is the straight razor shave along the sideburns and the back of the neck. I believe it is $ 14 for a haircut, cash only, and that is a real bargain.
I love seeing the Hair Cuttery next door consistently empty while they have a wait on the weekends.
Side note: I like to come in to check on the little Buddhist shrine in the corner which always has fresh offerings and is well maintained. I am also mesmerized by the posters of hairstyles that dates from around 1989. Especially because all of the men sport the same heavily gelled bouffant that is the antithesis of what they do at this barber.

I’ve lived in Burke a long time and this is where I usually go to get a haircut. The place is neat and clean and they always have plenty of barbers, so I’ve never had to wait for more than a couple minutes. I’m not big on patience, so I usually jump into the first available chair, instead of waiting for a particular barber. They all do good work though. The cut includes a straight razor trim of the sideburns and neck with warm shaving foam. You also get the hot towel and a brief back massage, which is nice. The price is now $ 13 and for those of you keeping score, I tip $ 5, assuming all goes well. If you find a barber you prefer, I know you can call ahead and make an appointment. There are a couple cheaper places in and around Burke, so price is the only thing keeping these guys from 5 stars.

Hi Barbershop is the nearest barbershop to my residence. My boyfriend –seriously– needed a trim, so there wasn’t much to lose (except his hair).
As I walked into the barbershop, there was a sign that read «Free Hot Towel and Massage». Sweet.
(Don’t think you’re getting spa treatment. The hot towel and massages were nice extra touches though.)
The barber did a good job on my boyfriend’s hair. He actually spent several minutes working on it. From what I’ve experienced, barbers tend to rush sometimes.
He used a straight-​edge blade with foam to clean up my husband’s neck and sideburns. Normally other barbers use electric razors. That was a welcomed experience.
My quip: The barber left a few times during the hair cut to answer his mobile phone. That wasn’t professional.
To pay $ 12 for my boyfriend’s extremely handsome haircut, I’m satisfied.
Note: They don’t accept credit cards.
