Check out that fade! Perfect edge up as well. Dre is the barber you need. This whole barbershop is filled with talented barbers, I have not tired anyone else yet, but from my first experience it was solid. Make sure to make an appointment online. Walk ins are welcome as well. Will definitely be returning back to this barber. Thanks again Dre!

Great cut, great environment. For those who appreciate the finer things in a barbershop, this is the place to go. From the quick greetings to linking you with your appointment or finding an open barber to accommodate walk in’s, this shop is on top of their game. This barbershop had a friendly fun environment, the atmosphere is what all haircut gurus seek. Enjoy your next fade here.

Dre is skilled and does an awesome job with cuts. Fades are always clean and lines are always sharp. If you are new to the shop and you’re not sure which barber to go with I highly recommend Dre. He will hands down give you a great cut.

Ive been coming here for the better part of 3 months. Sadly last time was my last. They give solid fades and hair cuts. This last time I came in on Monday 23aug21 I left with minor irritation on my neck. Over the week it developed into whats commonly known as barbers rash. A fungal infection from unclean cutting equipment. After having it looked at by a medical institution I can safely say Im not going to be returning.

Every barber in there seems very professional, but the barber I had my experience with is Dre. Hands down, the best barber I’ve had thus far in my short 27 years of life. I recommend his services to anyone. He’s very diverse as well. I found my barber for life.

Dre did an amazing job today. The lines are crisp and how I like them. He took the time to understand what type of cut I was looking for before making sure to provide the best service Ive had in a while. The atmosphere was great. I was able to meet 2 owners, who chatted with everyone making the atmosphere that much better. I will definitely be coming back for my future cuts.

I was in town for work and found VIP Barbershop on Google. Dre was my barber and I would highly recommend this barbershop! I got a low fade, beard trim and they have a spa that waxed my nose hairs (Don’t knock it until you try it). They respectfully greeted me at the door to check me in for my appointment. My haircut is one of the best I’ve had and I’m compel satisfied. These guys are professionals and the money I spent was well with it!

Carlos holds it all the way down at VIP lounge. I booked my first haircut with VIPL in the late summer and have been going back every three weeks ever since. You can’t beat the professionalism and the atmosphere. Great artists who take pride in making you look and feel your best. Highly recommended!

Review №28

I am not trying to be like one of those people who gets a bad cut and feels that they need to write a review but this has been coming for a long time now. I went there and got a haircut and it was so bad i did not even want to look at myself in the mirror. It is the kind of cut where I wont be leaving the house without a hat. I am very disappointed because I used to enjoy this place but I think it is played out now and they are focused on other businesses. I wont be returning and I dont recommend this place to anyone who isnt in the military or isnt getting a simple cut.

Due to COVID-19, they limit walk-ins, but Dre saw me, offered a greeting, made nice conversation with me, and then proceeded to take his time with me and provide a nice, clean cut and even trim up my eyebrows! Excellent barber shop for anyone looking to find a new spot, and Dre is an excellent barber to get your haircut by!

Only came here once so far but I plan to makeIt my regular spot. Had my head straight razor shaved, and my beard trimmed by rob. Great experience and professional all the way. It’s the kind of hole in the wall barbershop that you wanna make your own. There’s parking on the side of the building and the space they have is inviting. They offer deals and discounts on certain days and although I saw them take a walk in customer I’d recommend that you make a reservation. Military is totally welcome here, definitely worth a look if you’re looking for a new spot.

Review №56

Great place! Classy look on the outside and inside. Barbers are gentlemen with a shake of your hand and ask your name. They really seem to enjoy their craft and it shows. Not too pricey either. Typically look to spend around $30 and you get what you pay for.As some of the reviews have stated dont be in a hurry. Ive seen a cut take 10 mins but mine took almost an hour. Not complaining I had a mess of hair and they cleaned it up nicely.Not as crowded as other reviews suggest I guess its just the time of day. Make an appointment tho if you dont want to wait.I had an apprentice barber cut my hair and he was getting some coaching through my cut which is not a bad thing I have no problem getting a haircut while the barber learns. The one thing about that would be to let me know before, it wouldnt have changed how I felt just there are some people who probably would. Plus its just peace of mind.It looks I found a barbershop for me I will definitely be back.

5:50 pm on a Saturday afternoon, I decided to get a spur-of-the-moment haircut. I was turned away by a couple barber shops in the Virginia Beach/Chesapeake area as their availabilities for the afternoon were already filled up. I called VIP lounge after a quick google search and asked if I could do a walk-in, and to my surprise, John said he was free for one last appointment for the evening. As soon as I got there, I was kindly greeted by him and described to him the haircut I wanted, and so John got to working his craft. I am normally not picky of my haircuts; I usually leave it up to the barbers judgement, and I am so glad I did. First 5 minutes, I could tell John is easily one of the most experienced barbers Ive gone to. Fastidious with his trimming, he carefully made sure I left satisfied. In addition to the haircut, John is a very affable person and super easy to talk to as we discussed a variety of topics from funk music to high school sports. In terms of price, I found it to be very reasonable as styled cuts nowadays are steadily increasing in price, but you get what you pay for. To sum things up, I will definitely be coming back to John for my next cut, but this time Ill be sure to schedule in advance as I probably wont be as lucky as last time for a late walk-in.

Stylist Salt originally from House of Hair did my makeup for the wedding last year! I came in for a trial and paid 50. I loved the makeup and colors plus my makeup wasn’t oily and I have very oily skin so that was a plus! I told her what I wanted to change and she made sure to note it on my wedding day. I paid for traveling services and she did it on the spot. Prices were affordable and my look was timeless! I loved the subtle colors but she made sure I still popped!

Review №66

Great barber shop! But this time around I got one of the younger barbers. He was great to talk to but was struggling with the blending, maybe the other seasoned barbers can help him with that. The nice guy spent almost two hours trying to get it right but it didn’t turn out that well and I didn’t wanted to mention it after him spending so much time on it.

Clean and tidy shop. Staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. Ask for Mr. John LaBerge, who is quite possibly the best barber in the Hampton Roads area. His level of professionalism and his attention to detail are unmatched. You will not be disappointed with this mans work!

Review №71

This was my first time and I’ll tell you what, I will never go to another place to get my haircut as long as they’re in business. Rob, an owner, took care of me last minute before a wedding I needed to get cleaned up for. Words cannot describe the satisfaction I have from his work tonight. My self esteem is through the roof, whereas my esteem was very low and was self conscious walking in tonight. Again, thank you Rob and I am a loyal customer until I either move or y’all close shop lol.

This place is a true gem...... I take my son here and we have received service from Mandy and Nyjal and they are both exceptional. Nyjal’s smile will brighten an entire room so you feel at home immediately when you walk in... Mandy is great with kids and talks to my son the entire time during his haircut.... I always schedule an appt and we have never had to wait and we’ve been going there a few months now... just an overall good team and great service!

Review №84

Seemed like a solid place, atmosphere was great and barbers were great people. Overshadowing complaint was merely the haircut, CJ was a gem of a person but obviously was not an experienced barber, his fade was uneven and choppy, and I asked him to to trim the top 2 in, and he not only cut it too short, it was uneven all over the place. Can’t speak for the other barbers here, but this was probably one of the worst haircuts I’ve received in a long time.

Review №85

I only visited once. Maybe 5 months ago. I had scheduled an appointment with a barber several days in advance. When I arrived (during a lunch break) the barber was no where to be found. One of the other barbers called the guy and he told them that he wouldnt be in til later, asking me to come back.I allowed one of the other barbers to cut my hair instead. The fill-in seemed like a really cool guy. But that initial experienced coupled with the price tag has detoured me from visiting again.

Decent haircuts but they work incredibly slow, and are terrible with time estimates. I’ve gone three times for walk-in appointments, after calling ahead and being told there was no wait. I’ve waited 30+ minutes each time to be seen.Haircut is expensive, if you walk down the street on Granby there are other shops that are half the price and just as good.
