77 Barbershop: Where Community Meets Exceptional Grooming Standards

More than just a place to get a haircut, 77 Barbershop has become a community cornerstone built on service, trust, and genuine care. Since opening in March 2020 during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, this family-owned business has transformed the local grooming experience through its unwavering commitment to both quality and community connection.

Owners Anna and Craig brought a unique combination of expertise to their venture, with Anna contributing seven years of barbering experience and Craig offering over 20 years of U.S. Navy service. Together, their combined 30-plus years in customer relations and service created the foundation for what would quickly become a trusted neighborhood institution.

"Due to the attention and care we put into safety and sanitation to create a safe space for our clients, our barbershop quickly became a trusted place for clients seeking reliable, professional haircuts and grooming care during a challenging time for the community," says Anna.

The philosophy driving 77 Barbershop is simple yet powerful: "We cut hair, not corners!" This motto reflects their dedication to delivering high-quality grooming services, including modern haircuts, traditional styles, beard trims, hot shaves, and line-ups. But their commitment extends far beyond technical skill.

"We believe our barbershop is more than just a brick-and-mortar place for a haircut," explains Craig, "it's a community space built on service, trust, and connection."

What truly sets 77 Barbershop apart is its deep-rooted commitment to serving others. The business regularly participates in community initiatives, including free back-to-school haircuts, food drives, and special Veterans Day services. Their dedication to accommodating customers with sensory needs, such as those with autism or other sensory processing disorders, demonstrates their commitment to an inclusive approach to service.

"Our goal is to ensure everyone feels comfortable, confident, and cared for when they leave our shop," Anna reiterates.

The workplace culture at 77 Barbershop also reflects the owners' family values.

"Our team is an extension of our own family," Anna says. "We say many times that we are a dysfunctional family in the best ways possible." This positive environment creates a ripple effect that extends to every client interaction, fostering the kind of authentic relationships that keep customers returning.

Recognition for their exceptional service has been consistent and impressive. Since opening, 77 Barbershop has earned the distinction of Best Barbershop and Best Place for Children's Haircuts every year, a testament to their quality and community impact.

For Anna and Craig, the greatest reward comes from witnessing the daily impact of their work. "What we enjoy most about our work is the impact we have on confidence and connection, whether it's a child's first haircut or a regular client leaving with new confidence," Craig shares.

Their vision extends beyond individual appointments to building lasting community connections that strengthen the entire Fredericksburg and Stafford area.
