Award-Winning Since Day One. 🏆✂️

Back in 2012, The Ultimate Barber was a one-man operation fueled by passion, precision, and hustle. Fast forward to today—we’re the most decorated barbershop in Alexandria and Northern Virginia. No other shop comes close to the level of recognition we’ve earned.

This plaque from Virginia Living magazine in 2016 is just one of many. We’ve been setting the standard for years—and we’re just getting started.

🔥 Excellence isn’t claimed. It’s proven.

A True Classic Barbering Legend

We’re proud to welcome Bob Perry to our team at The Ultimate Barber.

Bob is a seasoned master barber with deep roots in Alexandria, VA. He began his barbering journey in 1979 and made history by becoming the first barber to introduce the fade haircut to the city. In 1983, he opened his own barbershop, which he successfully ran for 25 years, earning the respect and loyalty of generations of clients.

Now at 72 years young, Bob brings an unmatched level of experience, precision, and traditional craftsmanship to our team. He embodies the essence of old-school barbering—where skill, service, and style come together in every cut. Whether you’re looking for a classic gentleman’s cut, a clean taper, or a timeless hot towel shave, Bob delivers with care and consistency.

We’re excited to introduce Carlos to our team at The Ultimate Barber.

Carlos is a rising talent in the world of barbering. While new to the barbershop setting, he’s no stranger to the clippers. What sets him apart is his attention to detail, passion for the craft, and his commitment to mastering every aspect of the trade.

Carlos brings a fresh energy and a great personality that clients immediately connect with. He’s focused, professional, and always striving to deliver a precise, polished cut. Whether it’s a sharp fade, a clean lineup, or a custom style, Carlos approaches each haircut like a work of art.

A Seasoned Veteran with Heart and Skill
