Planning your visit
Your First Visit to Richmond Barbershop in Carytown
We look forward to welcoming you at 2820 W Cary St STE C in Carytown. Book your preferred service, allow time for parking, and bring a photo or a few ideas about the haircut that would make you feel your best.
Choose your first service with us
Your first visit is a chance for us to understand the look you enjoy and the details that make a haircut feel right to you. Start with the service you want: a haircut, scissor cut, beard trim, or straight razor shave. If you would like a haircut and beard trim together, select both when booking.
Our men’s haircut service is a useful place to start. For a longer shape or a natural finish, you can also explore our scissor cut option on the service menu. If you have questions about which appointment to choose, call us at (804) 203-0221.
We recommend booking ahead and welcome walk-ins when availability allows. Once you reserve a visit, check the service, date, and time in your confirmation so you can arrive looking forward to your appointment.

We suggest planning to be ready inside at your appointment time, with parking and the walk already taken care of.
Tell us what a great haircut means to you
You do not need a vocabulary of barbering terms to explain your style. We would rather hear what you like about your hair, what you would change, and how you normally wear it.
These details help us understand your request:
- Length: What would you like to keep on top and around the ears?
- Finish: Do you prefer a crisp outline or softer movement?
- Sides: Do you like visible skin or more hair in the shortest areas?
- Routine: Do you air-dry, use a dryer, or style with product?
- Reference: Do you have a photo of a haircut you loved?
With an inspiration photo, show us the feature that catches your eye. You might love the front while wanting more length on the sides. That gives us a clear direction for discussing the complete shape.
Leave with a look you can enjoy again
We want your first visit to give you a useful starting point for the next one. Before cutting begins, tell us about any area you want to preserve. At the finish, take a look from the sides and back as well as the front, and ask us how to arrange the style yourself.
A photo of your finished haircut can help you remember the result. When you return, you can show us what you liked and explain any adjustment you would enjoy, such as a little more movement on top or a closer outline around the ears.
If your plans change before the appointment, please cancel online or by phone at least eight hours ahead. Missed appointments without that notice are charged in full. Letting us know gives us the opportunity to welcome another guest during that time.
