The fan-nominated awards offer 12 categories including best barbershop, church, community leader, high school, and choir. According to radio, talk show and Family Feud host Steve Harvey, "I've been walking down red carpets for so many years, getting awards. I've been very fortunate. I think recognizing the common man for their hard work is a great thing."

My Barber's Lounge opened its doors in Greenbelt (8831 Greenbelt Road) and Forestville (3436 Donnell Drive) in 2012 and quickly became an integral part of the community that it serves with events and activities aimed at supporting local civic efforts such as Toys for Tots, the Network For Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE), Back-to-School supply drives and the non-profit organization the 13th Man.

Davon Kelly gratefully acknowledges the hard work of the barbers and the generosity of the community, "I'd like to thank the community and everyone who voted for My Barber's Lounge. From its inception, My Barber's Lounge has been an upscale neighborhood barbershop where you can get a great cut and have good conversation." Kelly's vision for My Barber's Lounge honors the memories of the childhood experiences shared with his father at the neighborhood barbershop.

A community appreciation day will be hosted by My Barber's Lounge from 11:00 AM until 6:00 PM on Friday, August 29th at the Forestville location and on Saturday, August 30th at the Greenbelt location. Discount haircuts and prizes will be provided to customers, and most importantly, the barbers will express their gratitude to customers for their loyal support.
