Award-winning cuts, luxury skincare & therapeutic steam shaves in an intimate private lounge.
Eric's story begins not with scissors, but with a crisis — a severe scalp condition from unsanitary tools sparked a journey of self-sufficiency, then mastery. After barbering school, years in the industry, and a relentless drive to build something of his own, he founded Kleankut Grooming Lounge, LLC in the DMV area.
But Kleankut is more than a barbershop. Eric has transformed his chair into a space for real conversation — particularly around mental health and the stigma many Black men face in seeking therapy. His openness about his own experience with counseling has changed perspectives, one appointment at a time.
His work has been recognized by Forbes, ABC7, PBS, Radio One, and WJLA, and his clientele experience something rare: genuine craft paired with genuine care.
Eric is on a completely different level. The steam shave was unlike anything I'd experienced — felt like a full spa treatment. I left looking sharp and feeling genuinely relaxed.
The attention to detail is unreal. He took his time understanding exactly what I wanted, and delivered something even better. This isn't just a barbershop, it's an experience.
I've been to many high-end barbers and none compare. The private lounge atmosphere, the conversation, the actual skill — Kleankut is the standard. Eric is the best in the DMV.
Booked the VIP package for my birthday and wow. Every step felt intentional and luxurious. The facial alone is worth coming back for. My skin hasn't looked this good in years.
What sets Eric apart is how much he genuinely cares. He talked to me about the products he was using, why he makes certain choices, and even opened up in a way that made the whole visit feel real.
Booked online through Vagaro — super easy. The space is immaculate and private, which I appreciate. My custom design came out cleaner than I imagined. Already rebooked.
