Virginia’s Top Rated Local® Barber Shop Award Winner: 5 Star Cuts

Top Rated Local® is pleased to announce that 5 Star Cuts is a 2019 award winner for barber shops in Virginia!

For a great haircut in Chesapeake, there’s no better barber shop to turn to than 5 Star Cuts.

5 Star Cuts has received dozens of reviews on three verified sites with an average rating of 4.96 stars, earning them an incredible Rating Score™ of 95.63 and a 2019 Top Rated Local award for ranking among the top 10 barber shops in all of Virginia!

Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:

“Great experience at 5 Star Cuts! They really make you feel welcome as soon as you walk in the door. [They are the] best and most professional barbers I’ve been to, hands down.” – Cornelius B.

Not Your Average Barber Shop

We took a few minutes to talk with Kenneth Pittman, the owner of 5 Star Cuts, to learn a little more about the business and how they managed to build such an impressive online reputation.

The first thing we wanted to know is what sets 5 Star Cuts apart from the many other barber shops in Virginia. Kenneth pointed to their professionalism, to their commitment to being prompt and on time and to their ability to not only cut every hair type but to do it well.

We also asked Kenneth why he does what he does at 5 Star Cuts and how he works to make the world a better place. Here’s what he had to say:

“Too many people are caught up in the money side of things in the field of barbering. Being a barber is an underrated profession. I want to change the perception of what people think of the profession.”

Building Success Through Next-Level Service

Kenneth credits 5 Star Cuts’ strong online reputation to their commitment to providing outstanding service to every single person who walks through their door:

“Our goal was to provide a service to every ethnic group and treat people with the utmost respect. Then, our clients started leaving reviews without us asking. Moms can bring their kids and feel comfortable; we really live by the golden standard.”

Outside of building a powerful online reputation, Kenneth has grown 5 Star Cuts through direct mail, fliers, social media, word of mouth and digital marketing. This year, he plans to focus more on the digital side of things.

Clearly, Kenneth understands a thing or two about how to grow a business and build an online reputation. Here’s his advice for the many other business owners out there working to do the same thing:

“Be genuine; be inviting; greet them at the door, and make them feel welcome. If you’re a barber shop, don’t brand yourself by letting bad haircuts walk out the door. Put the customer first — always.”


Congratulations to the team at 5 Star Cuts for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Kenneth, for taking the time to speak with us!

If you’re looking for a great haircut in Chesapeake, we highly recommend 5 Star Cuts!
