Senate Hair Care (SHC) Services is a very interesting barber shop/salon. It is located inside one of the Senate Office Buildings (Russell) and near the Capitol building. It is a full service salon for men and women. You do have to go through security to get into the building, but I believe it is worth the effort. Here's the most interesting part of this. There's two gentlemen by the name of Mario and David. These two combine provide for once 80 years of experience between them. Mario has been with SHC for about 42 years and David is about 40 years. They are great conversationalists. There are five stylists. They are all willing to take a walk in, if they don't have a scheduled appointment. They'll take "emergencies" even with a scheduled appointment. I do highly recommend getting an appointment because their schedules tend to fill fast, even being in a government building.

A gem tucked in the basement of the Russell Senate Office Building. A genuine old style barber shop. Mario is a very fine barber indeed. Call for an appointment. After your haircut, check out the refurbished Russell building courtyard. One of Washington's great unknown peaceful places.

Fine haircut, hidden costs. My bill was ultimately $25 more than expected, because of extra costs like "styling" - literally brushing your hair straight/twisting it while drying. The extra cost was definitely not mentioned when I was asked if I wanted my hair to be dried and styled.

Great price, very pleasant barbers. I went twice and will go back, but next time I'll ask to do a better job with blending. My hair is thin so it's obvious when the longer part on top isn't blended so well with the shorter sides.

Great hair cut and the best price in town. If you are a staffer I highly suggest it. Even if you aren’t a staffer great haircut for much less then other places. So far every person that’s cut my hair has been fantastic.

Very convenient right down the hall from my office Mario does fabulous hair cutting appreciate everyone in the salon Sonia at the desk

Hubby went for a haircut while on holiday… loved it, friendly helpful staff as well as an excellent haircut

Their barber shop is my go-to in DC for a great haircut. There's also a salon which looks well appointed.

Veronica was amazing! Being from out of state was easy to get in and out! Definitely will be back!

Had a nice conversation and great cut from Julie. Been there 19 years. Been there, done that.

$25 for a normal men's haircut. Mario is fantastic, very happy.

Super convenient! But skill level of the barbers varies.

Great haircuts. Very cheap.

It is just TOO funny!!!!

Nice neat tidy place.

Spectacular service

Mario is the best.
