Warm interior of George's Barber Shop with classic chairs, mirrors and hanging lamps
Silver Spring, Maryland

A real barber shop,
still on Forest Glen.

Four chairs, four barbers, and no appointment book. Walk in, wait a few minutes at most, and leave with a cut that was shaped to your head instead of rushed through a guard.

What we do

Every cut gets the same attention.

Our barbers work across every hair type and texture in the neighborhood. You will not be rushed, and you will not be handed a cut you did not ask for. If you are not sure what you want, say so, and we will tell you what will actually suit you.

  • 01

    The Classic Cut

    Scissor and clipper work shaped to your head, not to a number on a guard. Washed, dried, and finished the way you actually wear it.

    Men and women welcome
  • 02

    Skin and Taper Fades

    Low, mid, high, or bald. Our barbers blend through every texture and grain pattern, then check the work from all four sides before the cape comes off.

    All hair types and textures
  • 03

    Beard Shaping and Line Up

    Cheek line, neck line, and a clean edge on the temples. Trimmed to the shape of your jaw so it grows out well instead of falling apart in a week.

    Trim or full reshape
  • 04

    Straight Razor Finish

    Hot lather and a straight razor for the neck and outline. It is the detail that makes a good haircut read as a sharp one.

    Add on to any cut
  • 05

    Kids and First Haircuts

    Patient barbers who have cut the same kids from toddler to teenager. Parents around Four Corners have been sending their children here for years.

    Every age, no rush
  • 06

    Seniors and Regulars

    The standing appointment that is not an appointment. Come in, take a seat, talk or do not talk, and leave looking like yourself.

    Walk in any day we are open

Why people stay

People do not come here once. They come for years.

George's has been a fixture on Forest Glen Road for decades. Customers write in to say they have been coming for twenty years and have never once been disappointed. Others ask for the same barber every visit, because he has been cutting their kids' hair since the kids were toddlers.

That is the whole idea. Four chairs going at once keeps the wait short, even on a Saturday. The barbers know a wide range of cuts, they pay attention to the details, and they take the time to get it right. Prices stay fair, and the door is open to anyone in the neighborhood.
