DR. DOT &
THE REFUGE FOR MEN STORY
Meet Dr. Dot
Since founding Refuge For Men in 2009, master barber Dot Reid—known throughout Richmond as “Dr. Dot”—has built a welcoming place where grooming builds confidence, conversations create connections, and community comes first.
Refuge is guided by a simple yet powerful belief: a haircut can change more than how someone looks.
It’s Not Just a Haircut.
We’re Not Just a Barbershop.
Leadership Rooted in Community
Through leadership, mentorship, and service, Dot uses her craft to encourage others, create opportunities, and strengthen relationships throughout Richmond.
A Reputation Built on Trust
Through the craftsmanship of Dot and the Refuge team, the shop has built a reputation that reaches from Richmond neighborhoods to artists and entertainers visiting from across the country. No matter who walks through the doors, every client receives the same care, attention, and respect.
