Washington DC’s Top Rated Local® Barber Shops Award Winner: Lady Clipper Barber Shop

Posted on by Robyn Rivera

Top Rated Local® is pleased to announce that Lady Clipper Barber Shop is a two-time 2019 award winner in Washington DC!

If you’re looking for a barber shop in Washington DC with a passion for precision, look no further than Lady Clipper Barber Shop.

Lady Clipper Barber Shop has received almost 100 reviews on three verified sites with an average rating of 4.96 stars, earning them a marvelous Rating Score™ of 95.58 and two 2019 Top Rated Local awards for being ranked among the top 100 businesses and the top five barber shops in all of Washington DC!

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

“I’ve been getting my hair cut here with Lesley for about a year, and it’s always been a great experience. The shop is the perfect mix of relaxing, friendly and professional — and the cuts are great. Anytime someone compliments my hair, I tell them to visit Lady Clipper ASAP.” – Lauren H.

Not Your Average Barber Shop

We wanted to learn more about this two-time award winner and how they managed to build such an impressive online reputation, so we took a few minutes to talk with Lesley Bryant, the owner of Lady Clipper Barber Shop.

The first thing we wanted to know was what makes Lady Clipper Barber Shop a one-of-a-kind barber shop in Washington DC. Here’s what Lesley had to say:

“We have a seamless process, from the moment you book your appointment to the moment where you sit down for the cut and you complete your haircut. Basically, you book online, you pay a deposit and, by the time you leave, the rest of your payment is processed. There’s no cash exchanged, and there’s no delay in any way. You show up on time; you get out on time. Everything is timed perfectly, and most barber shops are not like that.”

Lesley went on to say:

“If we’re booked up on a day, we have a waiting list online that you can sign up for. If someone cancels their appointment, the online system is real-time, so it will alert them first-person via text message on that waiting list to let them know that we have availability. The process is seamless; the service is friendly and inclusive, and we are able to service a wide variety of clients because we can cut both curly and straight hair.”

We also asked Lesley what their mission is at Lady Clipper Barber Shop and how they work to make the world a better place. In response, Lesley told us about the many ways they give back to their community, which includes providing a space for their clients to host art shows. And this Sunday, they are hosting their first open mic night. Lesley told us that she believes in helping people build their brand because they have helped her build her brand.

Building Success Through Timely, Friendly and Precise Service

Lesley attributes Lady Clipper Barber Shop’s strong online reputation to their commitment to providing their clients with timely, friendly and precise service:

“I think it’s something that is very hard to find in the DC area, all of those elements in the same place. We try to be welcoming and make the customer feel as comfortable as possible.”

Outside of building a powerful online reputation, Lady Clipper Barber Shop has gotten their name out there by being involved in the community and in their clients’ lives:

“When clients invite us to birthday parties and to their special events, we try our best to make it. We try to be involved in their lives. We’re actually friends with our clients. I feel that, when you have a personal relationship or you seek to build that, people find it hard to go anywhere else.”

Every business owner wants to build the kind of online reputation Lady Clipper Barber Shop has. When we asked Lesley what advice she has for those business owners, she said:

“Use what you have in front of you. Keep your eyes and ears open to what your clients are asking for or what their needs are, and target those areas. A lot of my clients are artists, so with the community events and art shows, I try to have a lot of those and make sure that I’m always engaging the client. I always make sure they leave with something in their hand. …We give away a button or a bracelet, something that doesn’t cost a whole lot, but it helps them not to forget us…”

Congratulations to the team at Lady Clipper Barber Shop for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Lesley, for taking the time to speak with us!

We highly recommend Lady Clipper Barber Shop in Washington DC. Visit their website today!

In addition to building the kind of online reputation that any small business would envy, Midtown Barber Shop has spread the word about who they are and what they do by finding ways to give back to the community.

“[Two of the other barbers and I] all graduated from Ballou Barbering School. So, I go over there frequently and talk to the kids, I talk to the students. I gave a speech for graduation over there. I go to elementary schools in the community. I go to the nursing homes and hospitals around here. I’m a part of the development team for Ward 8. I’m very close partners with a lot of the communities around here. I also serve on the DC Board of Barbers, both national and local, so I’m in tune with what’s going on. I use those resources to advertise and promote my business.”

“Consistency is key. Stick to your business plan.”
