Nothing but great energy and pleasant vibes. No ones a stranger when they walk through the door. It's all peace, love and blessing. Plus getting the best haircut in the 757 doesn't hurt either! -Jamal

The most enjoyable experience one could ask for at a barber shop/salon. Hotep is a true Master at his craft. While providing you with world class barber services, he keeps you relaxed and consciously aware with enlightening and eye-opening conversation. The energy is always positive in the shop and whether you are there for a haircut, nail service or a massage, you are welcomed like family. 9 Stars for me!

My son had his first haircut was done by Hotep. I was very nervous to cut his braids. He did a phenomenal job on my baby's hair.

Great cut and conservation.

This has to be the best barber shop and salon in the Hampton Roads. The atmosphere is so chill but live, drama free, and it's family friendly as well. There is always a positive greeting and vibe upon entrance, excellent service, wallet-friendly prices and a great mesh and meld of employees. Each barber and stylist with a chair holds it down to a "T". Upon moving to VA Beach a couple of years ago, I have checked out a lot of barbershops in the H.R. I promise you, these heads aren't trusted anywhere else.

Brotha Hotep, is the best barber in town. I really mean this. The man can cut some hair. The best edge up. I've been getting my hair cut from him over 20 years plus. I'm really picky when it comes to my edge up. He gets it right everytime. I don't know what Im going to do it he ever retires.

After my boyfriends original barber was not open we decided to come here hoping they would be able to take a walk in and they did! They were so nice and very professional. They took what we both wanted into consideration and delivered upon request. My boyfriend loves his haircut and so do I. Thank you again Robert for taking us in on such short notice.

Been going to this salon with Hotep for years, every single time it's a fire fade or mohawk. I would, and do travel states to have my hair cut at this barbershop. He also complimented the dye in my hair with some hair coloring pencils and it's just 👌🏾👌🏾🙌🏾

The owner Hotep was awesome. He trimmed and shaped my hair. He also did my eyebrows. The atmosphere is welcoming and everyone is friendly. I especially enjoyed the hot towel treatment and head massage. This was pampering at its best. I also bought some essential oils created by Hotep and his wife. I will be back.
