Welcome to A&D Barber Shop. When you sit in our chairs, you aren’t just getting a haircut—you’re becoming part of a story built on hard work, family, and the pursuit of the American Dream.
Our founder, Alex Dzhalilov, arrived in the United States in 2005 as an Ahiska Turk refugee from the former Soviet state of Georgia. He landed in America with his family, a few belongings, and a drive to build a better life. After starting with nearly nothing, Alex turned to a lifelong passion to provide for his family: the art of barbering.
Alex spent years honing his craft, working side jobs, and attending barber school to master the trade. His goal was simple but ambitious: to be his own boss and provide the highest quality service to his community.
In January 2019, that dream became a reality when Alex opened the first A&D Barber Shop in Fairborn. Even when faced with the unprecedented challenges of 2020, Alex’s dedication never wavered. On the very first day Ohio allowed shops to reopen, A&D was ready—with lines stretching out the door for hours.
That resilience and commitment to our clients allowed us to grow from a small team to a staff of skilled barbers, many of whom are Alex’s own family and members of the local community.
Because of the loyalty of our customers, we are proud to announce our expansion. In addition to our Fairborn location, we have opened our second shop in the Cross Pointe Shopping Center in Centerville.
At A&D Barber Shop, we believe that when you do your best and treat people right, it pays back. We don’t take shortcuts. Whether you are coming in for a classic cut, a fresh fade, or a traditional shave, we treat every client with the same respect and attention to detail that Alex used to build this business from the ground up.
"When you do your best, when you do what you're supposed to do, it pays back."— Alex Dzhalilov
Come visit us at either of our locations and experience the American Dream, one cut at a time.
