Get a Great Haircut and a Better Drink at Scissors & Scotch

Scissors & Scotch at 4000 Fairfax Drive in Ballston has solved a problem most barbershops never thought to address: what to do while you wait. The answer, apparently, is a beautifully stocked bar lounge where every haircut comes with a complimentary cocktail, coffee, or cold beer — transforming what is typically an errand into something that actually feels like a treat. The space is warm, well-designed, and deliberately unhurried, with a private lounge area that separates the waiting and drinking experience from the cutting floor in a way that makes the whole visit feel more intentional.

The barbers are skilled and take consultation seriously — known particularly for their precise cuts, hot towel shave treatments, and beard trim work — and the full menu of services includes cuts, straight razor shaves, beard trims, and styling consultations. Membership options are available for regulars, including free upkeep appointments between services, VIP access to member events like scotch and beer tastings, and discounts on bar tabs and products. Open seven days a week. Book an appointment or walk in at scissorsscotch.com/locations/va/arlington/ballston.
