About Anthony's Barber Salon
On Woodsdale Rd in Abingdon, Anthony's Barber Salon is a barber shop with several barbers on staff, so clients aren't tied to a single stylist. A waiting room provides seating for customers ahead of their turn. The shop takes walk-ins and also offers appointment booking through an online sign-in system, though FACTS note that scheduled times aren't always followed promptly by staff. It operates Monday through Saturday and stays closed on Sundays.

Customer Review Summary
Long-term loyalty to specific barbers stands out most, with several parents describing years-long relationships tracking their kids through repeated haircuts and asking to keep the same shop. Close behind, reviewers single out beard trims and a "neat haircut/shave" as reliably well done, describing the shop as clean and the staff as friendly. Scheduling recurs as a complaint: multiple reviewers describe walk-ins seated ahead of confirmed appointments, one waiting 45 minutes as others were called first and another leaving after a 3:00 appointment stretched past 3:45 despite signing in online, with two framing this as favoritism and one describing it as racial profiling. Quality also varies by barber: one reviewer says a beard trim didn't quite match what was asked, another reports curly hair turned straight against instructions, and one reviewer describes the tools used on them as unsanitary and dull. A separate reviewer says a barber stopped cutting their hair altogether, citing sweating and clipper damage.

“Barber will not cut me anymore because he claims I sweat too much and messed up his clippers. As if I’m the only client who seats. Lack of skillful barbers. Meanwhile they never turn on the air conditioning or have any fans. Don’t waste your time on this terrible establishment.”
- James Robinson
“Walked in and was greeted by what I presumed to be the owner, which was nice. The rest of the experience was less than favorable. Because I was a walk-in I guess they stuck me with the least motivated and least professional barber there. The barber named “T” acted like he didn’t want to be there and made it feel like I was a bother to him. The beard trim was decent enough but not quite was I asked for. I love my black barbers but recently I’ve been going to a Puerto Rican shop because they provide a welcoming experience and provide very sharp cuts. Black folks act like they don’t want to work, generally unprofessional, and the quality of the cut is hit or miss. I might return if desperate enough and don’t feel like driving 30 minutes to my other shop.”

“I have been having trouble finding a good barber, and not for a lack of trying. I decided to give Anthony's a try. This place is legit. I told "T" what I was looking for and he said "I got you". And he delivered. Best cut I have had in a very long time.”
- Paul Bivens
“Called ahead, said they had time to fit me in. I got there waited 45 mins, every time one of the chairs would open up someone else would walk in and they took them first. As a white man I know now what it feels like to be racially profiled, …”

“Excellent customer service with friendly staff. One of the few places I would highly recommend for a neat haircut/shave.”
