The Story of Signature Cuts and Shaves Barbershop
Our Story
Signature Cuts and Shaves is a vintage barbershop with a modern twist, offered in a setting that is deeply rooted in DC’s unique History. Master Barber and Proprietor, Julian Everett, opened Signature Cuts and Shaves in the spring of 2016 with the idea of bringing back traditional barbering services to the neighborhood he grew up in. Since that time, the shop has flourished, becoming an integral part of the Shaw/U Street neighborhood, while building a strong connection with his patrons and the community.
As a native Washingtonian, Julian grew up in a hair salon located in the Petworth area of DC. His mother, June Everett, came to the United States from Barbados in 1976, and proceeded to open her own salon on Georgia Avenue – J&J Barber & Beauty Salon. For the next 15 years, Julian would watch, learn and work under the tutelage of his mother and other barbers. By the time it was all said and done, June ultimately owned 3 successful shops in the DC area. Thus, it was only natural that Julian would become a master barber and one day turn his dream into a reality by opening his own shop, Signature Cuts and Shaves, on historic U Street.
With over 21 years of experience, Julian, along with his diverse staff of professionals, are available to provide barbering services that are classic in roots, and sophisticated in style. Whether you need a relaxing hot shave, or are looking for a classic pompadour or a burst fade, we specialize in providing a full menu of superior, individualized services that will refine your look and leave you feeling sharp and sophisticated. We always offers a hot towel following any cut and shave service. In addition, we offer a variety of complimentary beverages, including libations, on request.

This is a top notch operation all-around. I'm pretty picky about my hair, and I couldn't be more pleased. I imagine all of the barbers are of high quality.

Getting a fade for our 3.5 year old was a nightmare before discovering Signature. Most recently, Nat did a great job on the kid and then a great job giving me a proper beard trim. Much to the delight of the kid. The prices are fair and atmosphere nice and clean. Far cleaner than other shops out there.

Love this place! Great service and a real neighborhood feel. Aladdine gives a great haircut and I love that they offer a hot towel with every cut. My whole building goes here and I hope they do well. I came right before close and they didn't rush a bit. Great experiences.

Julian is the man, clean cuts at a great spot and good price. Great clipper and scissor skills. Professional atmosphere and treatment, making appointments online is easy.

Posted on Ford ClevelandJune 21, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lena was my stylist and she did an incredible job! I’ve never been so happy after a haircut. I live in Baltimore and I’m seriously planning on coming back to DC just so she can keep cutting my hair. She knows how to work with your hair, style it, and teach you how to take care of it. She is a 10/10 stylist and knows how to carry great conversation during the cut.Posted on Patrick FotsoJune 12, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ms. Lena Jones is awesome. You better stop by and request her for a sublime haircut. 10/10Posted on John MaxJune 11, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Went in for a fade cut and wasn't sure what to expect. Julian took care of me and honestly, he knows his stuff. He took his time, made sure the blend was right, and didn't rush me out the door like some places do. The whole vibe in there is chill – relaxed atmosphere, good conversation, and you can tell they actually care about doing a good job. Price was $35 for about 45 minutes which I think is fair for the quality you're getting. They've got military discount (15%) and first time customers get 10% off too. Also they do the hot towel shaves, which is a nice touch if you want the full treatment. I'm pretty picky about my fades and these guys get it right. Definitely found my new spot in DC.Posted on JasonMay 29, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lena is a gem! Checked with me to make sure we knew the exact length to cut and knew the exact vibes. This is one of those haircuts that’s perfect the first day you get it. Not too short, looks super natural. If you’re anywhere around U St or Columbia Heights, come check this place out.Posted on bijan verlinMay 29, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. You know when you get a haircut and you think, ah well it will look better in a week? Never happens with Lena. She's excellent and I look great every time I leave. Don't know where I would be without her! She's also very sweet.Posted on Rick EMay 28, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Signature cuts and shave is an amazing barber shop and has become my go-to in Washington DC. I'm particularly impressed with their barber Lena. She does the cuts I want perfectly every time and is the reason I don't need to go anywhere else. Keep up the good work guys.Posted on Nicholas EvansMay 27, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The haircut was exactly what I asked for, amazing service great experience, would definitely recommend Odai he did a great job.Posted on Ed NathanMay 26, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lena was really friendly, and gave me a excellent haircut
