The Suite Barber Shop

Was kinda surprised to see to see some people didn’t give them 5 stars! I’ve been going there for a little over a year now with my boys (7 & 8 yrs old). They love this place and so do I! Some people think it’s crazy that I drive from Frederick to see Andrew, but to be honest with you, him and his staff get it right every time!

My fiancé had a last minute job interview, for which he needed a fresh cut and shave. He typically goes to Raphael’s in Silver Spring (your typical men’s barbershop), but they had already closed. I looked on Unilocal and saw the The Suite was open until 9pm. Unfortunately, they are by appointment only. I gave them a quick call around 6pm to see if they had any cancellations and could squeeze in an extra cut and shave. Thankfully, they were able to.
I can’t say much about the vibe of the place, since I did not go in. However, my fiancé coyly said «the place was pretty cool.» He mentioned it seemed like a bunch of friends from high school ran the shop and many of their clients were also high school buddies. That said, they were very inclusive and chatty.
The price is a little steep if you are used to the typical men’s barbershop prices (they clearly layout the price list on their website). In my opinion, the cut was worth the extra cost. This is the first haircut my fiancé has ever gotten that I had no complaints about. He has really straight hair and there is always hair that sticks up at the top of his head. Danny did a good job of cutting his hair so there were no hairs out of place. Much appreciated!

Got nothing but great thing to say about this fine establishment. Its how a modern day barbershop should be. The old adage you get what you pay for is so true. Andrew and company are all amazing artiste’.

I just moved to the Silver Spring area and found The Suite through Unilocal.I had been visiting the same person to cut my hair for the last 6 years and this was way out of my comfort zone but was well worth it.
I scheduled a cut and beard trim with Mauricio on their website. I had the confirmation within 30m and my appointment confirmed. Extremely easy and efficient. I arrived and found parking and went into the shop. Definitely a cool interior and unique location. Great vibe from the moment I walked in.
Mauricio was great, he made me feel comfortable. Talked to me about what style I liked and took an amazing amount of care throughout the cut. This was my first shave and beard trim in a proper shop and it was well worth it. The hot shave and beard trim has my beard looking more well kept than it ever has. I highly recommend taking advantage of their expertise.
I am already scheduling regular appointments for my next cuts. I am happy to have found a great barber and shop in my new area. Definitely look these guys up if you want a proper cut and shave.

Wish I had known about this place earlier. It is close to NW DC. The barber staff was young and cool (or maybe I’m getting older). Mauricio took me to an old school barber chair and proceeded to give me a super precision haircut using several different cutting tools. And near the end, he used a straight razor and hot shaving cream to put the finishing touch. It was nice to have a haircut by a barber who specializes in mens hair. Bottom line is that the cut looks good. Thank you Mauricio

Andrew was my barber. Haircut was ok. He missed some spots on the shave. Be forewarned that Andrew charges 35 for a haircut vs the 25 advertised online. Plus they’ll charge a 3 dollar credit card fee.

What a great atmosphere here at the Suite. Such wonderful people that welcome you every time you return.
They have music playing right when you enter the shop that puts you in a uplifting mood and it’s always different types of music too! Such as Frank Sinatra and the big band era, salsa, meringue, and classic hip-​hop.
I’ve been coming here for more than 2 years now and I’m not going anywhere else. Andrew, Franky, Danny, the whole team just greats you with respect and love.
I’ve got haircuts from Andrew and Franky and they’ve never let me down. Every haircut is a great one! From the beginning to the end, you can’t go wrong with this shop. Trust me!
Peace & love,
Chef Breezy

I looked at the other reviews and booked an appointment. One of the best haircuts I have received. I just moved to the area and was hoping to find a good «man’s barber.» Glad I found one.

A men’s Barber Shop, just what the doctor ordered.
Booked my first appointment with Mauricio today and all I can say is, outstanding!!! He hooked me up with more than I asked for in a style. Also very impressed with his attention to detail with his razor and trimming skills.
I will be back for sure.

Been going to see Andrew for years. Always gets the cut on point and never misses the mark. Glad I live in an area with such a great barber!

Great little shop. I’ve been going here for a little over a year now — it’s a little bit out of the way for me, but worth it. When I first moved to Maryland I tried maybe half a dozen places — some places try really hard, but with Andrew it’s effortless, he’s really skilled at his craft and it shows. Even when my hair grows out after getting a cut it still looks decent besides being longer… with some other places it starts looking funny as it starts to grow and sticks out here and there. Anyways, great shop, cool relaxed vibe, highly recommend!

Beautiful establishment and Mauricio is the man.
The place looks nice and clean. It has a minimalist lay-​out and the rooms feel a lot larger than they are due to the well laid out décor. The waiting area is great. It gives you a spot to relax before your session without being all up in the face of customers or the barbers.
The music was hip hop and was playing at a level where it could be heard BUT you can still have a conversation/​consultation. If you’re looking for hair to be all over the place this ain’t the place for you.
Due to technical difficulties we got rolling late but I don’t care, he more than made up for it with his time and attention to me this day (computer thing, it wasn’t his fault). He made sure that I got his card to prevent that in the future.
My goal was to get my beard rolling right. Mauricio greeted me and took me to his chair. Got me set up and comfortable and then we got into my desired look and overall goals for the visit. He let me know how realistic it was and we even made adjustments to my goals and set up a plan that should realistically help me accomplish them. He let me know how to maintain it until my next visit in a couple of weeks.
I love how he set up my beard and the plan that we layed out. I can’t wait till WE (he definitely let me know that I have to do my part) are done with it and I see what my beard looks like in a couple of months.
Needless to say, Mauricio is my new barber after not using one for over 10 years.

Andrew Victor is truly an artist. His attention to detail is unparalleled. I love that you can schedule your haircuts online and that I have never had to wait longer than 10 minutes for my appointment to start. Not only does Andrew do very detailed work, he starts his appointments on time! This shop is pretty busy and requires a couple of days notice in order to get on the books, but the haircut is worth the wait! There is on site and overflow street parking so you don’t have to pay for parking (ideal). Bring cash because cash is king!

Highly recommend this place. They take very good care of you. Andrew is the owner and does a great job. Sad to see his prices have gone up but Mauricio is a good second option for 10 bucks cheaper. Would give them 5 stars but taking a little off for the parking situation (very tight and limited) and because they frequently are a little behind schedule if you have an appointment and will have to wait more times than not.

Mauricio and the rest of the staff at the Suite Barber Shop are truly all professionals. Always looking sharp every time I come and always have my best interest in mind when it comes to the style of cut I receive. Have never been disappointed by any of the cuts from there and recommend the spot to everybody I can!

After tolerating so-​so hair cuts for years, I thought I’d give this place a try. I am so glad I did. Like almost everyone else I found Andrew to be what everyone wants in a barber;skillful, attentive and able to fit a face shape to a cut. This place is not just for exotic stuff, these guys do a classic haircut. Just better. Online booking is easy, I cannot think of a downside to this place, it’s not the cheapest around, but I cannot imagine going anywhere else.

I’ve hesitated getting haircuts around the area since I moved to Takoma Park almost a year ago. After trying this place once, I knew I’d come back. They guys here are very thorough with their work. I’ve been to places where they chop off some hair and try to get you on your way, but at the Suite Barber Shop they take their time and do it right.
Kelvyn did a great job the first time, and a friend even told me it was the best haircut I’ve ever gotten. After going a second time, Danny took care of me. He also did a great job. I can safely say that I’ve found a place to always get my hair done.

This place is kinda hidden but worth the trip. Kelvyn knows what he’s doing so ask him for what haircut would work for you. Everyone is really nice and the customer service is always on point.

Great haircut, good straight-​razor shave, and offering a complimentary beer is a nice touch. Definitely coming here again!

After 3 visits I can firmly say this is shop holds the crown for barber shops in the DMV. The shop is modernized by online scheduling and by the acceptance of credit cards. Not sure why other shops haven’t stepped into the 21^st century yet… They are professional barbers that are worth the price — which is very reasonable. The previous Unilocal reviewer’s hit the nail on the head with this recommendation. 5 Stars.

Hands down the best place to get your haircut. I completely stopped going to other places once I started getting my hair cut by Mauricio Torres (he’s the best but I guess I’m biased).
All the barbers take their job very seriously and are unlikely to disappoint. The attention to detail is astonishing and they take the time to discuss with you what it is that you want. No «number 2 or number 1» here!
The shop is really cozy and nicely decorated. The outside does no justice for how nice the inside looks. They are usually playing some great song in the background and all the guys are so laid back, most of them will engage you in good conversation. Even when you leave, the other barbers who might be busy with a client will be sure to wish you a goodbye.
Definitely one in a million, I’m so glad I found this place and you will be too!

After a year and a half of playing Russian roulette in Hair Cuttlery and other disappointing experiences, I finally found my barber. I went there for a haircut appointment with Franky, he was nice to me and took the time to make sure I was getting what I wanted. It felt really professional and at some point I just decided to trust his judgment on the details of the haircut. I got excellent results and I’m definitely coming back.
Tips:
The entrance is on the back of the building, there’s a small sign but it’s easy to miss.
It’s really easy to schedule an appointment through their website and you can choose who is doing the cut.
Some other reviewer pointed out to bring cash but Frankly has a credit card reader on his phone, I don’t know about the other stylists.

Andrew really is the best. Gives a better hair cut than I was paying 4x’s as much for the past few years.
Recently worked with him for a couple of months to dial in a new style for my recent wedding, and he really rocked it. Wont trust anyone else now.
Only tip: bring cash.

I just moved to the area and haven’t had much luck with other barbers. This is a great shop and takes reservations ONLINE, which is great. I visited today and got a great cut with Mauricio. Will definitely be back next week!
Update: Been coming here for two years now!

Great haircut for an extremely reasonable price. This place lives up to its reviews. I just moved to Silver Spring and am happy to say I have found my barbershop.
Convenient — Made my reservation online in less than 30 seconds
Great Service — Franky gave me a great haircut, and took his time to do it well.
Friendly & relaxed environment — You can tell these guys make a big effort to create a special ambiance where you feel extremely welcome and relaxed.
Overall great experience. I would recommend this to any of my friends.
