Hats Off, Barber & Beauty Lounge

Nov 2023

My wife and I have just recently moved to Maryland from Iowa. Before we got here back in late August, I needed a haircut. My wife has needed one since before me. I had an appointment this evening and figured I would go get a haircut after. So, after my appointment, I picked up my wife and we set out to find a barbershop or beauty salon. While we were searching Google, I remembered that there was a barbershop next door to the CVS Pharmacy where we get my wife's meds. I suggested we go there, she agreed, and off we went. When we walked in, we found two gentlemen working the chairs and informed them that we each needed a haircut. There appeared to be a bit of confusion at first, but after a moment or two, each of the barbers chose a customer and we were off. It was not long into this experience before we were all having a good time! The conversation was wonderful as we discussed the move from Iowa, our cat, and how amazingly friendly the people of Maryland are. My wife's barber seemed intent on figuring our why a couple of mid-westerners had moved out to the east coast. There were many small tell-tale signs as to why the initial confusion took place that became more and more evident as the session continued. Our barbers were two wonderful black gentlemen working in a predominantly black county cutting the hair of the first white people upon whom they had ever practiced their craft! For their first run at this, both did a wonderful job! And while they did this, they made two mid-western transplants feel right at home. We have found our barbershop. Not only do I want to continue to support this small, local business, but I really want to return and spend more time with our two new friends.

I really enjoyed this barbershop and Shandin my barber is the best. It’s always clean. The atmosphere is very good and the other bartenders and patrons usually have good lively conversations going on.

I'm a barber myself but don't have the time to set up and cut my own. Hats Off is close and convenient and "Kimberlee" provides the detailing in the shape up that I'm looking for.
