Sky Barbershop

I have had two bad experiences at Sky barbershop. Both times, I had the same lady and specifically told her exactly how I want my hair cut (longer around the ears and back). Both times, she did the OPPOSITE of what I asked (cut it VERY short like military style). Not sure if it’s me not speaking properly or what, but not the cut that I wanted.

After I moved into the Falls Church/Bailey’s Crossroads area, I found this barbershop on Unilocal that’s now my go-​to place. The shop is run (at least all the times I’ve been there) by korean ladies who know how to cut hair. The prices are very good and I haven’t had a bad experience yet.

The worst barber shop ever. I asked for a 1A and she used a 000 instead. Now I’m bald. NEVER go here. Ever.

Really like my haircut and the lady who did it was very friendly. Just needed the sides trimmed and faded into the top and it looks really good! Great place!

Great, helpful barbers! They really listened to what I wanted and even offered a few suggestions on how I can improve my hairstyle

This place is the best. The korean ladies that work there are so nice. They recognize me now since I’m a regular (a visit every other week or so). I mention this because it means that i’m actually consistently returning to this place that i’m trying to tell you is so great. despite not wanting to have the waits and business get out of hand, the altruistic side of me really wants this place to be successful since i love this barbershop so much. i will not get my haircut anywhere else. when i got my hair cut the first time, i told the lady who cut my hair that it was probably the best haircut i’ve received in my life. haircuts are only $ 15. seriously, if you need a haircut and you’re not looking for some crazy vidal sassoon, frosted tip, face peel, cucumber facial kind of haircut then come here.
oh and yeah, the place is a little hard to find. it lies on a road behind one of the buildings. i almost gave up the first time when i was looking for it. i’m glad i didn’t. don’t give up if you can’t find it at first. quitters never win! be patient look around at your surroundings at look for the road that wraps around the back of the building. you will see a few businesses there — one of which will be the barbershop.

This place is phenomenal.
Sky Barbershop is a small place in an office complex located in an apartment building. I know some reviews complained about locating it, but I had no such issue — google maps led me directly there. The place is clean, spacious, and open for most hours of the day. Prices are low for the area — a men’s haircut is $ 15 + tip.
I rushed and did a walk in here — needed an emergency haircut before going to trial on a case. I was super pleased. The haircut was exactly what I asked for, quick, efficiently done, and looks better than haircuts I’ve paid $ 50+ for. The ladies working there were pleasant and very friendly as well, so the experience was overwhelmingly pleasant.
If you just need a quick haircut and can’t reserve someone else, this is a phenomenal choice. I’ll definitely be returning.

Very friendly staff which perform a great job, clean environment, and very reasonable prices; you can’t ask for more.

This shop is very inexpensive and they do a great job! I am very picky about my hair and been going to the same barber for close to 10 years when I moved down to VA — I was very nervous but I’ve been going to Sky for a few months and Hanna does a great job. $ 15 for a basic mens cut can’t beat it.
5 stars from me for sure

Great place for a basic haircut. The barbers here actually listen to your instructions and take their time on cutting your hair. I’ve been to several barbers around the DMV area and this is my favorite spot for a quick even cut.

I am writing this review with mixed emotions. On one hand, I want to let everyone know how great this barber shop is. On the other hand, the more great reviews Sky Barbershop receives, the busier it is going to get, making it harder for me to get a haircut when I want one. I’ll provide my review, anyway, because this business and its proprietors deserve it. I have lived in the DC area now for 11 years. In all that time, I have never been able to find a good barber shop that can cut my hair properly. I’ve even tried several high-​priced salons, but to no avail. This past summer, a friend who lives in the hi-​rise condo community where this barbershop is located recommended it to me. Although I had lived in the area for several years, I had not heard of this barber shop, but was willing to give it a try. To make an already long story short, I was extremely pleased with the results of my first haircut there, and have eagerly gone back since. The ladies who work there are the friendliest barbers I have ever encountered. They actually listen to you when you tell them how you want your hair cut and take the necessary time to ensure that the job is done to the customer’s satisfaction. I have very «baby fine» hair that is very difficult to cut, but my barber always cuts it perfectly. The bottom line is that these ladies know how to cut hair and deserve a great deal of respect. Although I live in Reston now, I will continue to make the trip to this barber shop for a hair cut, as long as my barber is working there.

Best haircuts I’ve ever had, and I’m relatively picky. I usually bounce around from place to place searching for the perfect cut, often times splurging for a salon. As easy as men’s haircuts seem, very few barbershops seem to be able to do it right. Sky Barbershop does. I’ve been going here about two years now and have yet to be disappointed. They’ve provided better quality than any barbershop or salon I’ve ever been to and I’m happy that Unilocal pointed me here.

Worth the extra minute or two it takes to find this place behind some condos off George Mason Dr. Great prices at a truly American establishment. The owner moved to America 30 years ago and two of her sons serve in the military.
Don’t just go for the great American story, but for their excellent haircuts.

Love this place! It’s taken me 3 years to review it because I didn’t want more people going there and making me wait in line. And now I’m moving away. That’s not the Unilocal way I guess but it’s so hard to find a place that can give a decent dude’s haircut (without paying $ 40+).
They’ve been rotating through the cutters pretty quickly lately but they all are very exacting and spend a long time on your hair (in a good way, I hate turbo cuts). Prices are $ 15 for a guys haircut now. They do a punch card for frequent users… but you only get to use one during your time with them… so that’s kind of lame.
Good cuts! Nice people! A little hard to find 1^st time.

This place stinks. Literally.
You know how sometimes you walk into someone’s home and it has a ‘funny’ smell? Then after a few minutes your brain establishes a new baseline for your sense of smell and you don’t notice it anymore? Well, not with this place — it smelled off as I came in and by the time I was settling in the chair it was becoming quite unpleasant. It never got any better; I was praying for the haircut to end. Maybe it’s because they do nail care here? I have no idea — all I can say is that it smelled like a blend of fermenting play-​doh and barf and it never let up.
I hate to write bad reviews, especially for small businesses that usually depend on hard working individuals who are just trying to make a living, but I won’t be back. Aside from the smell, the haircut was mediocre, the place didn’t seem very clean and the chair was uncomfortable. At $ 15 for a men’s haircut, there are plenty of other options.

Its hard to find a place that doesn’t charge an arm and a leg for a simple man’s haircut around here.
Well, here it is.

If you’re looking for a very basic and very good men’s haircut for a reasonable price, you can’t do better than this in the area.
A men’s haircut (no shave or shampoo, but everything else) will run you $ 15 plus tip.
They also leave you alone to listen to/​read your phone.

Solid 4– 4.5 stars. I’m an old school barber shop guy, I usually never let women cut my hair because they are usually hair dressers not true barbers. I’ve been to Great clips and Hair Cuttery in the past and the women there wouldn’t know the difference between a clipper and a vibrator!
But the women here do a very good job, not the best ever, but consistent and good enough for me to keep going back… most importantly they LISTEN to your instructions. I can’t stand the places (usually hair dressers) where you tell them how you want it and they argue and question hoe you’ve always had it done.
They do an excellent fade, good technique, cheap, no appointments necessary.

I have been using this place for my haircuts since I read all the positive reviews. Let me say, they were all right. The first time I went in there, Hannah cut my hair, and I don’t use anyone else now. She knows exactly what I want when I come in; I don’t even need to tell her. Also, the service is fantastic between all the women, who are all extremely friendly. They recently bumped their prices up from $ 12 – 14 for men’s haircuts, but still extremely cheap compared to their competitors. Lastly, they do provide a member card where the 10^th (maybe 11^th) is free, and I was able to capitalize on that recently!
It is a bit difficult to find, as it’s located in an apartment complex, but once you find it, you’ll come back. I’ve never had a problem with parking either.

Went here to get a haircut for my 2 yr. old son. The lady who cut his hair used the scissors and did a nice job. Other barber shop in FFX we went before, the barber (male) did a good job but mostly used a clipper and tiny hair clippings kept getting on his face and I had to wipe them to keep away form his eyes. They take their time to do a good job. The lady also offered a lollipop at the end. My son was happy overall. We will go back here.
