    Today i came to shop and showed him a picture ( a short guys with glasses) I said ok he can do it And it's quite diffirent between my hair and picture. He answered me because of my hair diffirent that's why can't cut like a picture ( my hair is straight and soft) so very easy to cut like a picture!!! So dissapointed cause he blame on my hair

    Thanks for the hack job, this haircut sucks, you're lucky I actually gave you the money for this crap.

    I wish I could give you zero stars and more than that, I wish I could go back in time and walk out instead of staying for this terrible hack job and terrible service. My son is only 2 f@&ing years old and you treated him like he has a goddam disease. Your barber was so rude and made him SCARED to sit in your chair. Believe it or not, kids don't always cry, they only cry when they don't like you. Why do you have so many pictures of kids haircuts if you don't want to cut children's hair?? Needless to say I'll never be back.

    When you find a great barber you have peace of mind. You greet sit in the chair and he does the rest. There is no long explanation of what to do that was established on your first few visits over a year ago. The shop is tucked away at the south end of Burien. The area is quiet with plenty of parking. Inside there isn't he typical loud music or tv just a mellow vibe of soccer on tv with the volume at a low level. Clean, organized giving you a feeling of trust and confidence as you sit back in the chair for nothing less than a look you will be satisfied with. I appreciate the young talent in this neighborhood and they grow and stay for years to come.

    New to the area and wanted to find a new place to call home to get my haircuts. The gentlemen who…read morecut my hair accepts walk-ins only btw! I sat in his chair and he asked what I wanted - I showed him a photo of me with the cut I wanted and he responded with "perfect. That's all I need" Well, he started cutting away and throughout the cut it seemed like he had envisioned something else. He said "if we cut like this, it'll be better" and I hesitated on every suggestion but I said "as long as it'll give me the look like the photo I showed you". He told me no worries and to essentially trust the process. Well. Towards the end of the cut, I wasn't seeing the vision and he kept apologizing and saying things like "well I already cut over here. Can't fix it" and kept saying "ya sorry, your hair is hard to cut". He suggested "you just have to grow your hair back out" - like, come on, he was cutting 5-6inches of hair down to the skin. It'll take me months to get my hair back. At the end he said "next time bring more pictures" - I told him I had more and that he claimed that was perfect and that was all he needed. He blamed me. He still charged me full price. Seriously?? I paid anyway because I didn't want the trouble but I felt wronged here.

    Literally the best haircut I've ever had in my life, not an exaggeration. I just found my new…read morefavorite barber shop, I will be a returning customer for the foreseeable future! I've been going to a SALON and seeing the same stylist for years but she was on a vacation and I needed a haircut. It's only by luck I stumbled upon this place and oh I'm sooo happy I did! The first place I went had an hour wait and the second one had a teenager working that looked 16. Right away I was greeted with kindness and respect by the male owner (I believe his wife also owns it), told him my situation, what I wanted and he certainly delivered! Like he mentioned, a barber shop is completely different from a salon, especially when it comes to men's haircuts, and I wish I understood that years ago. I'm used to a 10-15min haircut, his was easily double that, extremely detailed and meticulous! I also decided to do a fade for the first time ever, and again, I am so mad I haven't been doing it for years, completely changes the dynamic of the haircut and makes you look way younger. I saw all the reviews for Bebe (again I assume his wife), but not enough reviews for him that are very much deserved. There is no doubt that he is my new permanent barber, I will be returning every few weeks, and I will probably never go back to the salon I've been going to for 8+ years.
