“I’ve been a longtime client of Greg’s, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. First and foremost, his haircuts are consistently excellent. Even after moving away from DC, I tried plenty of new barbers, but I still made time to see Greg whenever I was back in town. Beyond the quality of his work, his flexibility is second to none. The fact that he can come to you for a haircut is a huge bonus, especially when trying to coordinate a busy schedule. Greg is professional, reliable, and truly great at what he does.”

“Greg is a master of his craft. In a time where shortcuts are the default, Greg has never caved. He cares deeply about quality and detail, and does not take the fact that he has a client in his chair for granted. I’ve been with Greg for over a decade and have followed him wherever he was cutting hair. And when Greg moved to Pittsburgh, he came back to his (incredibly) loyal client base in DC and has been making house calls for the last few years. Greg’s personality is genuine and caring, he’s respectful, and goes above and beyond to accommodate busy clients. He has found a way to cut my hair at 6 am or 9 pm, always without complaint and total understanding.

In recent years, Greg has even taken on cutting my two boys’ hair (starting at ages 3 and 5) and demonstrated the incredible patience it takes to pull that off. As my son said: “when Greg cuts my hair, I get a lot of compliments!” That says it all - a disciplined craftsman whose cuts earn praise for clients of all ages.”

“I’m a long time client of Greg’s, and while I could go on and on singing his praises I’ll boil it down: 1. He does fantastic work, pretty fast, at a competitive price; 2. He’s punctual and responsive in an era of declining standards; 3. He’s a ton of fun to talk to, astoundingly knowledgeable about nerdy topics that I enjoy, and I always look forward to his next visit. If I could, I’d give him 6 stars!

"Greg has been cutting my hair for the past 18 years, and I wouldn’t consider letting anyone else touch my head or beard. I have a difficult cowlick that every other barber has struggled with, a lumpy head, and a large Quagmire from the Family Guy jaw line. Greg nails my cut and beard trim every time.

I met Greg at the Grooming Lounge in Tyson’s in 2008. As another reviewer mentioned, he still makes the trip to DC from Pittsburgh regularly. He’s extremely reliable and never misses an appointment.

Greg will tell you what cut works best for your hair type and head shape, and then execute it flawlessly.

I highly recommend giving him a shot. Having a skilled barber come to you is super convenient, and he does amazing work.”

“I found Greg at Wise Owl in DC back in 2019, and he just got it. He listened, but more importantly, he had a point of view (and fair warning in the best way: the conversation is often as memorable as the cut) he understood how my hair actually behaves and cut it accordingly.

During COVID, he started doing house calls, and even after moving to Pittsburgh, he’s made the trip back to DC regularly. I’ve stuck with him ever since. Seven years in, not a single bad cut.

At my age I’m already ahead of the game just having a decent head of hair. But I can say without hesitation I’ve never gotten more consistent compliments on my hair than I have over the past seven years—and I credit that entirely to Greg.

There aren’t many people you’ll go out of your way to keep working with for that long. Greg’s one of them.”

“Greg has been my barber for years and always provides consistent quality service. Great haircuts and amazing beard trims. And you can’t beat the convenience! Highly recommend.”

— Jacob (Washington, DC)

“Gregory is truly a wizard with the shears. My only complaint is that he isn't in California more often...he’s set the bar so high that no local barber experience can compare!”

— Sam (San Diego, CA)

“A master of his craft, flexible on schedule and such a great service at the price. Highly recommend to anyone.”
