High Point Barbershop & Shave Parlor

I’m glad I found this place after I got tired of having disastrous haircuts and beard trims at Refuge. Patrick is really good and I’ll definitely keep going there.

Best spot for a haircut. It’s not a haircut, as much as it is an experience of awesomeness. It’s professional in there, but also laid back. I’d give any of the guys in there a shot to cut my hair, but I gotta say, when I go in and see Eric, the cut always looks awesome and we have hilarious convos. I let him do his thing and it always turns out awesome. So glad I was recommended to go here, try it, you’ll be back. Guaranteed. Tell the guys I said hey when you go.

These guys are amazingly talented and committed to their craft. They’re also hilarious and do a great job making it a fun place to be. Plus, I get tons of compliments on my haircut since I’ve been going there (no joke) and I always enjoy going there. Never really had a barbershop that I enjoyed going to until High Point. If they served coffee and had a couple tables in there, I would probably just go to hang out in my free time.

Best cut I’ve ever had.

If you are looking for the best barber shop in Virginia, you’ve found it. I don’t give my hair to just any barber, but Foster and Corey are the real deal. Special thanks to the High Point Barber Shop crew for always keeping me up to date and looking fresh. Its a real classic style barber shop. I’m telling you for a fact you won’t be disappointed.

Excellent! Thank you Eric

Went today for my first haircut here. Jack was excellent. Coming from NYC and California I am no stranger to the barber shop. This place is top notch. The owners did an excellent job making the shop look like a traditional barber shop with their own twist added. All of them made my wife and I feel very welcomed. Already book two more appointments out. Looking forward to going back.

First time at a true barbershop in quite a few years and man did this place set the bar high.
These guys know what they are doing and take pride in their work.
Chill vibes and good cuts. What a gem.

Exactly what the doctor ordered. Good folks. Good atmosphere. Good cut.

You cannot get better than High Point. I am super picky when it comes to finding someone to cut my hair. I have had some real disaster haircuts in Richmond (Mango, Refuge, Salon Del Sol), so I am pretty reluctant to try new places. I heard amazing things about High Point and finally made a reservation. Corey cut my hair and he was AMAZING! This is by far the best haircut of my life. I immediately made another reservation upon check-​out (you have to because they book up fast). I will never go to another shop as long as I’m in Richmond.

Long review for a reason — stick with me here.
I was in a bind yesterday after another local barber shop confirmed my appointment for 8:30 a.m., then wasn’t open when I arrived, and still wasn’t open 15 minutes after my appointment was scheduled with no indication of actually opening up anytime soon. This was a problem for me, because I had to look my best for a super important meeting in Charlottesville and I was leaving Richmond at 10:45. Cue Unilocal search and finding High Point Barbershop, and man am I glad I did.
When I arrived, the fella at the front desk politely told me that they don’t take walk-​ins and that they’re generally booked solid for 2 – 3 weeks ahead. Understandable. I explained my unique and crappy situation, and after waiting about 20 minutes and with the luck of a no-​show appointment by someone else, they squeezed me in. This world is tough enough as it is, but these guys really went out of their way during a busy day to help me out when I was in a tough spot. «So shines a good deed in a weary world.» Even if my haircut had turned out just ok, they would have won over my business. But my haircut didn’t turn out just ok. It turned out awesome.
Elliott cut my hair, and I can’t get over how slick it ended up. To me, the standard for whether or not I’ve received a good haircut is what people have to say about it. The day he cut my hair, four people (three of them girls, and that’s all I really care about) told me how good my hair looked. That was without prompting. I know it sounds dorky, but the cut looked so good that I felt cooler.
The digs are pretty sweet, and they were playing hardcore punk when I came in, which I appreciate. Everyone there was super professional and made it a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. I don’t really go out of my way to recommend business or write Unilocal reviews, but this place calls for that kind of praise.
Get your hair cut here. You won’t regret it.

I followed David here from his last place. Despite being well out of my way, its worth the drive. David is the best barber I’ve ever had in all my years. The shop is laid back and casual. The music is loud and the conversation is interesting. I’ve only ever been in to see David but I imagine the other guys are great too. I usually just get my hair cut but the hot shave is a nice treat on occasion. Totally recommend High Point to everyone.

Edit:
They’re working on their phone system so that issue with not getting through should be resolved. They were super accommodating and worked with me to get me in as soon as they could. The place has a nice atmosphere and a friendly staff. Most importantly they FIXED my messed up hair cut. I think I’ve finally found my rva spot for haircuts. Theyre priced a bit higher than others, but after getting the haircuts ive gotten in rva at other places, this place is well worth it. Its no wonder this place has a 5 star rating.

The only person who did not jack up my head on the east coast was Dave Foster. The barber is a master of his craft. This is one of those few bright spots in the city of Richmond Va. Not only did he give me a great haircut but the shop has great hair product there for sale. Again these are not very common things in the south. This is an old school barber shop with a modern flare. The only negative thing is that he is an eagles fan but what can you do, no one is perfect ¹⁰⁄₁₀.

I’ve been going to Corey for about a year now at his other shop and decided to follow him to High Point when he announced he was moving. This was his first week there and I was super impressed by everything they have going on. The vibe of the shop and all of the people working there was welcoming and comfortable. I’m excited to return again and again now that Corey is apart of their team.

So I’ve been getting Jack to cut my hair since he moved to Richmond. I’m reluctant to say this, because I’m selfish and enjoy getting easy appointments, but Jack is the best barber in town. He gives great cuts, and I hear the other guys do to. Its also apparently the place to go for a beard trim. I’ve never been needed that service so I can’t comment there…
This is the third spot he’s been set up and I Iike it the best. It’s an old school barber shop in spirit, but with a current feel. The atmosphere is light, and it’s a good haircut experience. They’ve got a few gels and creams for sale as well that I don’t see in stores.
Make sure you’ve got an appointment. They stay booked up for weeks, but there’s good reason.

I used to see David when he worked at Parkside, but since he left and since I moved away I haven’t had a chance to get another quality cut from him. I’ve got to say, the new place is FANTASTIC. This is exactly what Richmond needs more of: a legit spot for guys to get a great haircut, listen to some dope tracks and socialize in the presence of likeminded individuals.
You MUST make an appointment, but whoever cuts your hair will certainly do a fabulous job. They specialize in those classic haircuts your dad probably had in high school, and the walls are adorned with tattoo art, concert posters and old school skate decks. When I walked in today, they were playing Wu-​Tang and cracking jokes about snow.
This is not the place to go if you normally get your mom to cut it. This is also not Great Clips, so don’t expect the bill to be less than $ 10. If you want a rad haircut, a rad environment and some rad conversation, come here. I promise you’ll leave looking (and feeling) like a million bucks.

Love this place
First time in years having to go to new Barbershop since my move. After describing my old shop several people recommended Highpoint and they were right
Went to Elliot for shave, haircut and beard trimming all spot on. Had a great time meeting all of barbers. Funny relaxed atmosphere but you never forget that these guys know, respect and are extremely good at their craft.
Won’t go anywhere else
Amazing
Back in 2 weeks

Young guys in a classic barber shop that makes you disappointed at all the other random places you’ve trusted with your hair. They are pros who provide exceptional service in a welcoming, comfortable atmosphere.
Go here. Get your hair cut. Feel good. Look good. I can’t recommend it enough.

High Point is the classic barber shop for the new generation of guys who think that haircuts are more than running clippers through their hair, and shaves are more than a quick pass with a Mach 3. This style of barber shop exists, to a certain degree, around Richmond, but none come close to matching this shop’s authenticity, enthusiasm, professionalism and quality. On top of that, the prices are significantly less than at the equally professional salons in the area, making High Point a must-​try. One word of advice: absolutely make an appointment because their out-​of-​the-​gate popularity makes walk-​ins almost impossible.
