Est. Georgetown · ~24 Years · 1518 Wisconsin Ave NW · Walk-Ins Welcome

The barbershop Georgetown loves.

A Georgetown barbershop on Wisconsin Avenue for nearly a quarter-century. Rose & Khan cut men & women, blend a clean fade, and finish with the hot-towel straight-razor shave the neighborhood keeps coming back for.

No. 01 — The Shop

For nearly twenty-four years, one corner of Wisconsin Avenue has kept the same promise: an honest chair, a sharp blade, and a barber who actually knows your name. Walk past the brick and the hanging flowers, in under the old poles, and the city goes quiet for a while.

The Ritual / 01

Set the steel.

Hone, strop, lay out the comb and shears. Nothing rushed — the prep is half the shave, and the reason it always feels smooth.

The Ritual / 02

The hot towel.

A steaming towel softens the beard and opens the skin. This is the part regulars close their eyes for — Georgetown's two warm minutes of quiet.

The Ritual / 03

Blade & fade.

Straight razor for the shave, clippers for the fade — pulled tight, blended clean, and checked twice in the mirror before you're done.

The Ritual / 04

Walk out sharp.

Lined up, finished, and out the door looking your best — until you're ready for the next one.

Steady hands and a careful eye — the one regulars book for the shave and trust to get the cut right every time.

Khan

Fades are his thing. Skin fades blended to nothing, beards lined razor-crisp, and a finish that holds its shape until you're back in the chair.

Old-school in the best way. The hot-towel shave is the most relaxed I've been all month, and the fade was dialed in perfectly.

Georgetown regularOn the straight-razor shave

Walked in with no appointment, walked out fifteen minutes later with the cleanest cut I've had in DC. No fuss, fair price.

Walk-in customerOn a men's cut

They actually listen. Took my wife and me back to back — both cuts spot on. This is the neighborhood spot you keep going back to.

Local coupleOn men's & women's cuts

Best beard line-up in the neighborhood, hands down. Precise every time, and never rushed.

Regular clientOn a beard trim

Twenty minutes, no appointment, and the most honest cut in Georgetown. I've been coming back for years.

Longtime regularOn a men's cut

Brought my son in and they were so patient with him — clean cut, in and out, and he actually sat still. Our spot now.
