Always satisfied with my cuts here--check out that skin fade for such a good value! The barbers are pleasant and the environment is relaxed. I appreciate that the place has comfortable waiting seats as well. However, if you come in the late afternoon, you should probably expect to wait around 1-1.5 hours for the cut. That being said, the parking lot always has parking and you could choose to chill in your car until they call you. read more

I found an excellent barber here. It took a while to find him, and he is here. I had an hour wait, and it was worth it. You sign in, and they call you when its your turn. read more

I have brought my oldest son here every month since 2022 when he was 6yrs old and will happily wait for their call when he's ready for his cut (yes, there's a waitlist bc they are popular) - we live in the area so it's not an issue for us. The place is clean and accommodating with lots of mirrors, cushioned chairs, and flatscreens for the patrons to watch. My son always walks out looking fresh. I will be bringing in my youngest son once he's able to sit still for a session. The hope is for my boys to grow up with this barbershop as long as they are around. They are the best in town! read more

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. read more

Ambaum Barber Shop - Thanks for the hack job, this haircut sucks, you're lucky I actually gave you the money for this crap. - Barbers Near Me - Burien, Washington

This has been my spot for years, ever since it was fairly new. It's a nice clean spot, fair prices, and K is a great barber and always fun to catch up with. Only downside is that it has almost gotten too popular. If you work a 9-5 job and try getting there after work before it closes at 6:30pm, they most likely won't be able to help you that day. Also, closed on Mondays and Tuesdays which is tough. Lastly, if you go on a weekend, you'll be waiting at least an hour and a half if you arrive past noon. I hope they implement appointment scheduling soon, then I will gladly return. read more

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. read more

Ambaum Barber Shop - Barbers Near Me - Burien, Washington

I needed my undercut redone and it was Monday and my regular barber shop was closed. I need this done because I was heading out of town the next day. I turned to Yelp to help me find a place. There were plenty of options and I had one place at the top of the list but a review from a woman who went into the particular barber to get her undercut done was met with some serious confusion. Since I wasn't about that, I decided on Ambaum Barber Shop because the reviews, while few (for now) were excellent. I am lucky enough to have time in the middle of the day so when I went to Ambaum Barber Shop at about 1:00pm-ish, the place was empty except for the barber, Korwon. Upon first impression the place was spotless. You won't have any concerns about cleanliness here. I asked the barber how much it would be to get an undercut done and he said it would range between $17 and $20. A little higher than my usual $12 at my regular barber but beggars can't be choosy. I said okay and I was able to get in the chair right away. Usually I like to get a design done, nothing fancy, usually just some lines. This time I just got two lines in an arch. I showed Korwon the picture and he gave me exactly that. He was very thorough, asking me questions about how close of a cut I wanted. I let him know to just clean up the hairline, not cut any of it. He listened. His precision was immaculate. I'm very glad that I found Ambaum Barber Shop. I am glad I have more barber options. read more

2 stars for cleanliness and friendliness. Husband came here for the first time to get his hair cut after reading such outstanding review! An older gentleman cut his hair. He BOTCHHHH my husband hair!!! Some hair were cut shorter then the other. His tape up wasn't EVEN! After the gentlemen was done he had to show the man where to fix or touch up! ‍ Thank god his hair grows back fast but such a disappointment! If you do go- I hope you have better luck. As for us we won't be back. read more

I love the haircut I get from here. However, it is extremely inconvenient to get a haircut. You have to show up put your name on a list and they will call you. I have gotten my haircut 3 times now and each time it takes about 2.5 hours between when I arrive to when I leave. There are cheap solutions to online scheduling. I really wish they would at least allow me to call ahead of time or something. I now go to SeaTac barber. Takes about an hour in total. read more

Always excellent customer service. This is my go to barber shop. These guys remember me and my preferences.

I came in 20 minutes before closing on Monday to get my sons hair cut for his kindergarten graduation the next day and I was worried they wouldn't be able to get him in but they had no problem getting us in. I wish I would have got the name of the guy who cut my sons hair because he did such a good job and I was really happy with it. I'm a mom of 3 and the fact that this place welcomed my kids is a big thing for me too so I will definitely be a new regular here :) read more

Very nice gentlemen cutting hair here who do a decent job overall, but I'm only giving 3 stars because I've never once been to a barber who thought that a dry straight razor shave on the neck was a good idea. They've done it a couple of times now and my neck is always painfully irritated afterwards. I don't feel I should even have to explain why that's not how you do it to a professional barber; that's literally what shaving cream was designed for. read more

Love coming here great prices. It gets busy but everyone who works there are nice. Cash only

I can not say enough about the five star service I always receive. From the immaculate cleanliness, to the perfect shave, every visit I receive excellent service. read more
