Dave is great. He has been cutting my hair for over 15 years. Hard to find a shop that still offers straight razor service which is what brings me back. Before he retired, Mr. Adams gave my son his first haircut. It was really cool to sit side by side with my 3 year old for the first time. Thanks for your many years of service and the first haircut, Howard. A true gentlemens barber shop.

Today was the first time I went to Adams, and I can say that Ive found my new go to barber shop in all of Richmond. Excellent service, friendly staff and great discussions to keep you entertained as you get cleaned up. Im very impressed with the cut I got (which rarely happens) and I will absolutely be making another trip in the near future to get cleaned up before the holidays.

Excellent service. I have been going for several years from their old location to this new one. Howard has retired after 60 years but Dave has picked up the reins. Because of pandemic appointment required but Dave is very accommodating and is a real barber with the shaved trim.

Nothing beats the feel of an old barber shop. If you didn’t get your haircut by Mr Adams you missed out. Don’t tell him how to cut your hair, he’s the professional.

Small locally owned barbershop, a hidden in plain sight gem in the heart of VCU. Just two seasoned veterans of their craft carrying out the legacy of the personal friendly barbershop experience you just dont get with a chain. Cash only but worth every penny

These guys are great. I like an old fashioned clean cut look and they have that down quite well. This is an old fashioned manly hair cutting establishment, dont go here thinking youll get pampered, if thats youre thing the salons up the street will be more helpful.

I had a great experience with Mr. Adams. He knew exactly what I needed, and its one of the best haircuts Ive ever had (according to my wife). Ill definitely be going here from now on now that were back in Richmond.

Ive been going to Howards shop since college at VCU in the late 80s, and Ive worn one of his signature flat tops ever since. If youre looking for a great haircut at a great price, this is the place to go. Adams Barber Shop is a page cut from the annals of history, and youll enjoy the old school experience as much as the compliments youll get from one of his cuts. See you there every three weeks or so! - Thom [>:-)

By far the best shop in town. I received exactly what I had asked for. Clean shop, good conversation, and inexpensive. I will definitely be back!

Ill just tell you about my first experience: I walk in the barber asks, whatll it be, son? I reply, kinda short on the sides with a trim on top. (standard crew cut). Howard laughs and says, I know what you need buddy! This place is a very friendly, male-only barbershop, run by a veteran barber of 56 years and his business partner, Dave - who is equally skilled in classic mens hairstyles. Camaraderie, small-talk, and a quick clean cut is what youll find here. Great price too.

Classic barber shop feel from the chair to the straight razor and warm shaving cream cleanup in the back. Dave does a great job. Good price as well

Thought I found a new permanent barber until one of my friends pointed out that they messed up the back of my head. There is a clear difference in the face on the back. half of the back of my head is shaved way too close.

For a reasonably-priced, old-fashioned haircut you cant beat this place.BEST PART: They still use hot shaving cream and a straight-edged razor to trim around your ears and neck. Freakin Awesome!!

Im new to the area, and figured out that its kind of hard to find store chains around here. Its like an east coast San Francisco. Its not a bad thing, but its different. So what the hell, why not just go local?The only problem is that the community here is much smaller than other places. So with so little reviews to go off of, all I have is a bunch of polarized people.So when reading the reviews of this, there were either just a bunch of really pissed off people and some people who thought it was ok. I tried it either way. Hair will grow back.Well, let me tell you that this place is pretty cool. I got my haircut by Adam, himself, whos been doing it for over 55 years in the same place.Apparently, its much different from those salon people cutting hair. Hes trained differently, and uses a straight razor to clean-up the edges. And that was a new experience, a little scary, only because my last memories of a barber cutting with a straight razor was as a kid...on TV...in a horror movie...where the customers head was cut off...and than vampires drank his blood.But that didnt happen. And I dont expect it to happen. At least I hope not, as I plan to continue going here.

Okay looks like Im the only female reviewing but it is from my perspective with my son. Mr Adams gave my son his second haircut when we moved here, he was about 2 years old and terrified! Mr Adams said Mom put him down on the chair and go sit down, Ive got this My son thought about crying, seriously thought about it for about 2 minutes and Mr Adams whispered in his ear then he was good to go! My son is now 10 and his father takes him while they both get cuts. We love Mr Adams, he is like family. Always opens the soda machine and gives the kids a drink when the cut is over. Moms if youre looking for a stress free haircut for your little one then I highly recommend Mr Adams. Old school barber, just the way it should be!

Outstanding experience and value in a comfortable and friendly setting. Conveniently located downtown with parking. A Richmond institution.

Good old fashion barber shop with excellent service and atmosphere. dave did a great job.definitely will be returning.

Two-man, classic barbershop. Good haircut, good conversation, good price. No frills, so dont go if you want em.

Ive been coming here to get my haircut ever since I could drive(20yrs). Its always a great experience..

Ive been going to Adams for years now and Ive always walked out satisfied.

Simply excellent! They are nice and they do what you ask for! Highly recommended!

Good hair cut, great price the old school way. Hot shave and all.

One of the fee real barbers left. .. a great man

Excellent service, friendly and down-to-earth barbers. Old-fashioned razor shave, very professionally done.

The worst place u ever wanna go. simply racist.

Great cut for the price. Both gentlemen are very respectful and fun to chat with.

I love this place, I get always a nice haircut

Older dude was great! Mr. Adams was super cordial and def gave me what i asked for, even though he faded me a bit high. BUT the younger dude in here was atrocious. the fella working with mr. adam is a total biggot whos pretty trash at cutting hair, the whole time i was there he was cursing and giving me and my friend the evil eye, and the ENTIRE TIME he was talking about how liberal student protestors should be RUN OVER AND KILLED. this guy is absolutely out of whack, mr. adams is alright. If you go here MAKE SURE YOU GET YOUR HAIR CUT BY THE OLDER GUY. Do not support this younger fool, he also gives terrible haircuts along with that terrible attitude

Ibwent in and the older man was very friendly and welcoming .. The younger guy was cussing about the phone and in a bad mood .. I got my hair cut and the sides were obviously and clearly uneven .. There were spots where my hair wasntguybrefused to help and closed his eyes inbthe chqir and was shaking his head .. I was told no charge because ofbthe horrible haircut .. But paid anyway .. Im not out looking for free handout haircuts .. Worst barber shop ever that i have been to .. Definately will not be back

The only wheelchair accessible barber in the area.

Awesome experience, does the job quickly and efficiently. Cheap too!

Great experience, great haircut, but BRING CASH

They know what theyre doing at this shop!

Adams Barber Shop has permanently closed. Mr. Adams is working part time at another store down the street.

Professional barbers doing what they do best!

Great haircuts for a great price

Mr Adams is a fine man.

Great guy and great haircut

Vacuum on clippers and they vacuum your head of cut hair. More shops need to do this! You also time warp into the 50 as soon as you enter the door. BRING CASH!

Great place for a haircut

Great guys, great haircut, fair price
