I've lived in the district for almost 5 years now, I've had haircuts at many places in DC that were far more expensive than 1st Street haircut that just were not up to par. This place gives you a fair price for the best haircut you will have in the city. I've had $80 haircuts that I hated. This place is much more reasonably priced and the haircuts are better.

Good price and the lady who cuts my hair takes her time. Would recommend, very professional.

Haircut was on 7/22/23, price for men’s was $30 before tipping. Haircut was good enough to look presentable but it wasn’t what I was thinking. Do keep in mind, I have longer hair for a dude. I’d rate it a 3.5.My barber’s English was okay, but not fully conversational. He got the basic instructions I asked for when I used the appropriate lingo (ex. give me face framing layers), but thinned my hair without asking me, which is a red flag of mine. He was a very kind guy though and did the job well and quickly. I would be willing to give this place another shot if it had a lower price tag and more accurate service to what I wanted, but it wasn’t a bad haircut by any means. Just not quite on target for what I wanted. However, for the lady with shorter hair that got hers cut by the female stylist, it looked amazing. So perhaps this place is just better for shorter hair!

I took my 3-year-old son here for his first haircut and it went wonderfully! They have a whole section of toys and fun car barber chairs for children as well as a TV to distract during the cut. The lady who cut his hair was quick and did well to read his mood. Things went pretty perfectly, we'll definitely be back!Service: Kids' cuts

Just moved to the area and stumbled upon this place. Literally the best haircut I’ve ever had. Attention to detail was incredible.

A simple no frills barber; not stuffy and you certainly won't need to make an appointment weeks in advance. Im glad i found this place. Mens cut: $30. Usually no wait, has the news playing so you can zone out for a bit and he doesn't try to make small talk. Sole downside is they don't use razors.

This is my go-to spot for affordable, consistent short cuts. Gina always does a great job and I leave feeling fresh without a heavy dent in my pocket. Never felt out of place going to this barber as a woman, which I also very much appreciate. Though technically this spot has other offerings, I've never seen anyone get their hair washed or colored here. It does the basics of hair (and beard etc) cuts and it does them well.

To their credit they are very good at a specific type of haircut, very conventional male cuts. However if you want anything different than that or if you have longer hair they won’t listen to you. If you want a fast, cheap short hair style, this is your place. If you want anything else don’t go here.

The barbers are friendly and skilled, and they always give me a great haircut. I also appreciate the fact that they offer a variety of services, such as beard trims, shaves, and hot towel treatments.One of the things I love most about this barbershop is the atmosphere. It's a clean and comfortable space, and it's always a pleasure to relax and chat with the barbers while they're working on my hair.

The staff was cool but the guy who did my beard wasn't particularly skilled. I didn't see any black people come in so maybe he wasn't used to cutting us. I wouldn't recommend any black person go here for a cut.

Got home and realized that the fade doesn’t actually fade, there’s just a clear line across my head… it looks really bad (as confirmed by asking my friends to make sure I wasn’t being dramatic).

It seems to be getting harder and harder to find barbers that can cut men's hair. 1st street does a great job and they take their time to make sure it is done right. I am from out of the area and had to find a barber in DC. I have been to several and I will keep going back to 1st street. Good haircut. I wanted a hard part with a fade and they knew exactly what I was talking about (I have been to others where they don't)

Kevin is top notch. I have now gone four times and each time I’m thrilled with the result. If you want a talker, he’s not your guy, but if you want a great haircut and some space and quiet, he can’t be beat.

After reading so many good reviews I took the advice of many I made an appointment online for my sons very first haircut yesterday morning at 10 AM with Gina. We showed up a few minutes early and were told she was on her way. After waiting about 20 minutes with her never showing up we just left. Super disappointing. Never a call later to explain or reschedule.
