I’ve been coming to Hoang for over 4 years now. He’s always delivered great cuts - whether it is a short fade or I am growing my hair out and it’s a longer style - he can do it all. He will make you look good and work with your specific hair type.

The studio is also great vibes. Hoang has curated a zen and relaxing studio vibe. He always has good music playing on the speakers too.

I cannot recommend Solace Studio enough - best place in Richmond to get a haircut.

A friend recommended I check out Hoang for my pre wedding haircut. I was so pleased with the result that I’ve stopped having a buzz cut and routinely go to Solace!

The studio is clean, put together, and always has a good vibe. Hoang’s a great dude who is passionate about his craft and couples it with his chill personality. The haircut goes by quick because we’re always having good conversation. Plus he’s got style and it gives me extra confidence when your barber has some drip.

Got my first cut at Soalace Studios and left really happy with my decision to check it out. Hoang create a relaxed, homey and serene environment in his studio, combined with exceptional barbering that delivered beyond my expectations. By far the best cut I've gotten in RVA and will be recommending to all my friends getting forward, definitely worth checking out for anyone looking for a chill space with good vibes and amazing cuts!

I recently moved to Richmond and finding a barber was one of my biggest struggles. After thorough research and bad hair cut experiences in RVA ($25 cuts), I came across Solace Studio. I told Hoang what I wanted and he gave me his own inputs to make sure my expectations were met. His prices are reasonable (~$60), but they’re definitely of quality. The vibe in the studio and ambience is very personable and it makes you feel relaxed and welcome. Definitely found my new barber and will continue to support Hoang and his business!

For many people like myself, finding a good barber is just as, if not more, important as finding a good doctor. So when I moved to Richmond a month ago, that question had been plaguing my mind with concern. After hearing and seeing about Hoang’s work from a friend, I made the decision to book with him. As soon as I entered his space, it was clear to me that Hoang was someone who took his craft seriously. He’s very meticulous about what specific aspects of your hair he’s going to work on, and can work well with very specific requests. As soon as I told him what haircut I wanted, his response told me I was going to walk away feeling like a new man. The cut he gave me was amazing, and I can’t recommend his services enough. I’ll definitely be coming back if I ever need a haircut, and if you’re on the fence, definitely book an appointment and don’t look back!

The studio

Green walls, brick, good music.

It is a private room, so it is just you and me. A lounge to sit in when you arrive, coffee on the side, and a chair by the window. I keep the music good and the pace unhurried.
