Kev’s Barbershop

What a joke !!! Don’t wast your time, I called and made an appointment for my son with Jose for 10:00am I got there and he never showed up, nobody cared nobody asked to help, they then told me maybe he would come” maybe” at 11 … I drove from Stafford to get to this place …

I gave this establishment 2 stars only because service was fast and the barber in the 1^st chair was friendly and helped us immediately. Unfortunately, the haircut done by Cristopher was terrible, he cut my sons hairline about an inch back when i asked for a simple line up and fade. To his defense, this could have been due to a language barrier and maybe i should have gotten someone to translate, but I really thought the terms fade and line/​edge up were common terminology and he nodded his head like he understood what i was saying. So if you do go here make sure your expectations are understood. or just dont get a line up

The shop is always the cleanest or the greatest atmosphere. But I am a touch and go kinda guy. I hate waiting, but I am willing to wait for a great cut.
Truth is that I’ve fewer mediocre cuts here. But is mostly GREAT! The bad thing
is that guys are NOT experts with scissors. Most of then will refuse to cut with scissors. I respect the honestly tho…

This place is worse because there is no any regulations i came first time here and everyone was busy, had a seat and waited for 1:30 hours and when my term came some of them said first come first serve but some of them said need to have an appointment. After 2 hours one person said I will cut hair so after few minutes he started but OMG he done in five minutes because he wanted more customers. The way he cut I feel like this is not human being salon its for animals because with comb he scratched my head very badly.

I’ve taken my two-​year-​old here twice for a cut and have been very happy both times. Prior to that I’d been driving to Arlington for a more «kid-​friendly» salon, but desired something a little more than just a trim done with shears– I wanted a barber that would actually «style» his hair with an up-​to-​date cut (and who had a little more experience with thick, curly hair). The first time I visited, one of the barbers greeted me at the door and asked how he could help me. I asked if they cut toddlers and he said they did. I asked him how long the wait was, and he said that it wasn’t long and I’d probably be next. Sure enough, I my son was immediately seen and I was in and out in less than 20 minutes– and that was on a Saturday afternoon! A young man by the name of Chris cut his hair and with the help of a translator gave my son the exact cut I was looking for. He also made sure to check with me before doing anything that I may not have wanted done on a two-​year-​old, such as using a straight-​line razor or lining up the front (not sure if I’m describing that correctly as I know NOTHING about men’s haircuts)!
The second time (on Christmas Eve) was much more crowded and about a half-​hour wait before I was seen, but all the chairs were full and they did a great job getting people in and out without sacrificing the quality of their cuts. A young man by the name of Jason cut my son’s hair the second time and although he wasn’t very talkative (and didn’t come across as too friendly), he did an amazing job on my son’s hair. The price both times was $ 15 pre-​tip, which to some people is pretty high, but it was still less than what I paid at the barber in Arlington.
If I had to say that one thing could be improved, it would be the cleanliness and just making sure the floors are swept after each cut. It also wouldn’t be a bad idea to have nametags so you know who is cutting your hair. Other than that, I have no complaints– I will definitely be back (and will hopefully have an opportunity to see the highly recommended Diego or Saul)!

This place is the worst. I came in and I asked for a taper, the associate proceeded to give me a skin fade… after addressing this to Kev he tried to tell me that’s how a taper is… lol dude this whole barbershop is a joke and you better believe you won’t receive my business again. I would have felt a lot better if you had owned up to the mistake and offered to fix it but instead you played dumb and that’s not how you should treat your customers.

I would like to think I’m a Jedi at picking barbers. After picking a barbershop but before selecting a barber, I sit and watch each of the barbers cut to see their skills (you don’t want just anybody cutting your hair). There’s an asian guy named Andy that cuts here and he is on pointI I’ve only gone to him and I definitely recommend him. Andy’s a surgeon with the clippers and blades. Go see Andy and let him do WORK!

I just moved from Germany to VA. I was afraid that it would take me years to find the right barber but thanks to a friend who recommended Diego at Kev’s Barbershop. He really does a perfect job. I am a man and I get more compliments after a haircut then my wife. Her hair lady charges three times the price.
Diego is also good with beards. He is very detailed and very professional.
I always say men with their barber are like women with their gynecologist. Once you have found the right one it’s hard to settle for any other.

Solid ⁴⁄₅ for Saul and Diego who are the ONLY 2 I know can cut a black man’s hair. Big mistake going here if you are in a rush or it is early and neither of the 2 are there. You are guaranteed to leave unsatisfied and at 17+ a cut it isn’t worth mirrors shying away from your face until all your hair grows back. Just an fyi I am very picky about who I let cut my hair if I do not do it myself. I remember I made sure to ask Diego again and again my first time, can he cut black people’s hair since it is more complex than Latinos. He assured me they could and I’ve been seeing Saul every since and Diego if Saul isn’t there, also vice versa.

Called to make an «appointment» the lady who answered the phone was hard to understand… She also forgot to ask for the name (I should have known then). We show up 5 min early for our «appointment» only go find the guys just left for lunch and no idea when they will be back. My husband is on a tight schedule because he works 12 hours 7 days a week. I’ve always heard great things about this place. But it seems to have gone down hill. Why say you take appointments and have no one available… Oh and there was also what seemed to be someone’s full afro on the floor along with tons of hair throughout the shop. I get that it’s a barbershop but gross!!! Anyway off we go to the haircuttery. Next time we will go back to merrifield to trieus or floyds.

Always get a good cut from Diego, but since this is business I’m gonna be honest. He has a lot of customers but doesn’t work on appointments which is frustrating. You can let him know you’re coming in, you give a time and he confirms, but you still have to wait damn near 2 hours. Poor business practices.
If he improves on actually taking customers in appointment order like a lot of other barbers do, especially if he knows they’re a for sure appointment their time needs to be respected. Come on now!

EASILY the best barber shop in the DMV that I’ve been to. I got spoiled living in NYC and having great barbers on just about every corner. As a matter of fact, the barbers in the DMV were so bad, I used to wait until I would head back to NY to get my hair cut. That being said, Kev’s is the real deal. My barber, Saul, is amazing. I’ve been going to him for a little over a year. He’s VERY detail oriented and takes his time with every cut. He’s a real good dude. It’s a very diverse clientele that goes to Kev’s, and they cut all types of hair. 5 stars, EASY!

I walked in on a weekday morning about an hour after they opened. I should have walked right back out. Paying $ 17 pre-​tip for a haircut at this place is absolutely ridiculous.
The place was empty. I stood there for about 5 minutes before a woman emerged from the wooden saloon-​type doors. «YOU NEED HAIRCUT?» She asked. I reluctantly agreed, debating whether I should also allow her to trim my beard (very glad I didn’t).
She proceeded to give me a hair chop and then to shave the back of my neck with a dull razor and no shaving cream. She may have used a very small amount of oil, but judging by the burn I still feel on my neck, I’m guessing she didn’t.
The place has a funky smell and an even funkier atmosphere. Men’s barber shops should be clean, well-​lit, and well-​mirrored. This place is none of those things.
She seemed ill-​prepared to cut my hair, first just scissoring the top dry and then eventually going to retrieve and fill a spray bottle. When it was time to show me the damage she did, she spent 5 minutes retrieving and then washing (?) a hand mirror, and didn’t even bother to turn the chair around to show me the back of my head.
To be fair, I’m used to getting my hair cut by old male barbers in Bethesda (Westwood Shopping Center off River Rd). I’m guessing that you could add up all the years of experience of the male barbers I saw at Kev’s and it wouldn’t come close to the experience that just one of the old man barbers at my old shop had.
I’ll consider that it was my mistake to go on a weekday morning, perhaps when «Diego» or «Ray» were not working, perhaps I would have had better luck with one of the two male barbers who did eventually come in while my hair was being butchered by Ms. ClipperHands.
Overall, not a good experience. I don’t give one-​star ratings unless a business really screws up, and that didn’t happen here. It was definitely less than average, though, and $ 17 is expensive for a haircut in Springfield.
I’ve had much better luck (and better prices) at the barber shop in Brookfield Plaza on Backlick ($ 13 pre-​tip) or Pro Barber nearby on Brandon Ave ($ 14 pre-​tip). Both places are cleaner, brighter, and will leave your neck feeling good rather than razor-​burned.

I’ve been to a good amount of barber shops in the northern Virginia area I’ve had my fair share of good and bad experiences. After coming to kevs for over one year now, I can honestly say this has been my best experience!
I drive all the way to Springfield from Herndon every week to get my beard lined up and I think it’s well worth the drive.
(I only speak for Diego in this review) He is the most down to earth person that actually cares for your satisfaction. In the past I’ve had to go over other barbers shapeups and fix my beard however Diego spends the time and makes sure the final result is perfection!
I think Diego has the most people waiting on him so it’s best to make an appointment!

I’ve been coming to Kev’s for about three years now and have had Diego strictly cut my hair. Not only has he become a good friend of mine but he provides the best haircuts. He usually has lots of clients waiting for him and I would advise for you to call in advance. Lots of versatility as he can do your typical buzz cut with a fade, combover, mohawk I mean he does it all! I would still be a virgin if it wasn’t for him so come get blessed by Diego. 571−239−7109 is his contact number.

We are a military family who have had to find a new barbershop (with reliable barbers) every time we move to a different state. My husband, my sons and I have been in the Northern Virginia area for more than 8 years. Kev, the owner, started cutting my youngest son’s hair when he was 9. He is now 16. The professionalism and courtesy shown in this barbershop is exceptional. Kev requires his barbers to be professional at all times. He is a down to earth, no nonsense business man who creates opportunities for up and coming barbers of all race and ethnicities. This barbershop fosters a family friend environment and If I could give this business 10 stars I definitely would do so without hesitation. Reviews are simply that… A review of your personal experience with a business. I would encourage readers to try this barbershop for themselves. You will not be disappointed!

First time. Barbers are mostly younger Hispanic men who are friendly and take time to give a good cut.

One of the best barber shops in the nova area. They make sure cuts are perfect and not like hair cutlery where they just use the trimmer, here they also make sure the fades are good and cuts are very clean and faded to perfection. Kevin, Luis and Diego are very good…

I travel quite often and always take chances with new barbers… Let me tell you the secret … You go in and see who is cutting black folks … Analyze him while cutting someone else … If you like, go for it ! Donnell was my barber and he did an excellent job bringing my hitop fade back !

Best barbershop in NoVa hands down!
There entire staff is great.
