Earls Barber is the sort of place that's been around for many years and you're gonna get a consistent simple haircut by somebody who knows how read more

Terrible haircut. And terrible experience. The guy had no attention and no sense of care or quality at all. Staggeringly overpriced too.

WONDERFUL! The best cut I have gotten in Seattle. I found it difficult to find a barber but Earl is the perfect man for the job. So lucky to have found him. Earl was friendly and professional. His shop is very clean. I appreciated the attention to detail he dedicated to my cut. I will definitely be back and highly recommend this establishment. He is also open on Sundays and make sure to check out the coffee shop next door. read more

Despite the attributes section saying that they take walk ins and the services section saying they aren't by appointment only, when I arrived I was told they do not take walk ins and are by appointment only so I'd watch out for that, ended up being a big waste of time unfortunately but the guy wasn't rude about it at the very least read more

Work ran late for me this week and I called in and they stayed open an hour later than they were supposed to for my haircut. Not only were they accommodating, but the haircuts they give are immaculate. Will definitely be going back. read more

Finally! A barbershop that is close to work AND knows how to cut and style my natural African hair! Dell, one of the barbers, did my mohawk fade and I'm already making plans to go back with a hair design in mind. This is a fantastic barbershop in Central District. It's only a 5-minute bus ride from Capitol Hill. Looking for a black / African-American barbershop make your way to Earl's! Great location. Great service. Very friendly. read more

Out of town guest worker visiting for a while... I've been to Earl's a couple of times. Both times I got good cuts, especially my beard. CAREFUL ABOUT THE PRICE. Find out what your cut is going to cost before they start working.a The first time cost me $20, which is quite reasonable since my bald head takes barely any time to mow clean. The second time, same exact cut: it cost $60. Absolutely no idea why, and the place was super busy with the barber's buddies, so I didn't argue about it. Just not going to do that again. Too bad, because I wanted to like Earl's. A local Seattle native suggest The Lounging Barber. Good to know! I'll try that next.... read more

I'm visiting from out of town. My son needed his have cut, he been getting his hair cut faithful since he turned 1. This man Earl kept nipping my son when he said it hurt. His hair line was all the way off. He did not frame his ears or neck area left a big patch on the back of his head. No I was not a happy customers, no I so not recommend this place at all read more

Best barber shop in CD My barber in CD moved to SODO so I've been on the lookout for a new barber since. I've also been travelling a lot so I haven't been home whenever I felt I'd go crazy if I didn't get a cut so I'd go to the best barber shop close by and it has always worked out. I've been to Earl's barber shop before and I got a really good cut that time. But I've never had a chance to go back so now was the time! I was able to walk in and Jay was available to cut my hair. I got a cut and a line up and Jay was just clinical! It was fast and I'm really happy with it! I think I finally found my spot. It looks like this is a temp spot but I'm hoping they stick around! read more

Wanted to support one of the last remaining Black businesses on 23rd and Union, but tonight after having to sit through a customer speaking about the "faggotry on TV" and having Earl himself positively chime in on the topic, I, a self identified and proud Fag will no longer support a business that will allow customers to feel unsafe and unwelcomed. Expected a Black owned business, in an area where Black culture is being erased block by block, to not be ignorant toward a fellow minority group. Additionally, I won't be supporting Earl's after four attempts to have a good experience here. Four different barbers not listening to specific instructions, and having to come home and fix several areas myself, including my beard, that looked uneven and messy. Taking my money elsewhere isn't going to hurt Earl's business, that's not my intention with this anyway; it's an attempt to protect other queer people of color from feeling unnecessarily vulnerable while just trying to get a haircut. read more

So I got an old family friend that went on vacation recently with his wife. While on vacay the wife was posting pics of them doing there thing. They were great photos don't get me wrong but my man had a super legit hair cut so that's basically all I noticed. Either way I have been getting my hair cut in Renton the last few months and it's just been all bad, (hats for days) so I ended up asking my family friend where her husband got the cut, and she said Earls Cuts and Styles. So long story short I went in there today to get a haircut and got hands-down the best haircut I've ever had my entire life. My fiancé that I just proposed to in May literally re-propose to me true story Man this place is the SPOT no doubt read more

Earl's Cuts & Styles - GET IT..... ‍ - Barbers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Earls Cut & Styles is an amazing barbershop. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend. You need to schedule an appointment online. No walk-in appointments. I've been getting a haircut with Earl for years. I haven't had any issues and am always feeling fresh and happy with my haircut EVERY time. Prices are reasonable. My ONLY issue is the parking. There's not much street parking. But I park across the street at the Midtown Sqare where there's 2 hrs parking. read more

To begin with I just want to start by saying this opinion has been formulated over about 5 different visits and not just one single bad experience. I could get into all the small things that bother me or could be better but that would make this a short essay so let's just jump right into it. The professionalism and communication is nearly non existent. For the third time I have set an appointment just to show up with someone in the chair and another to go before me. From time to time you understand shit happens and well you just deal with it. However this has happened over and over with no call simply saying "hey running a little behind". It's honestly really a shame. Being a young black professional I really would like to support my local black owned businesses but they make it nearly impossible and on top of that have really "ok" haircuts". Anyways .. Wish I could support but honestly not worth it what so ever. read more

First cut at Earl's was 2 years ago and I haven't gone to another barbershop since. You can drop in with full confidence in any of the barbers, they're all great. Del has been my barber for about a year now and he's always consistent, which is what I look for in a barber. If you appreciate a true barber shop experience, go check out their new shop (next to Ikes in CD) and remember to bring cash! read more

Best barber shop I've been to in 20 years. Earl and Jasen are world class barbers with the skill level of a master barber. Customer service, atmosphere, and cuts are unparalleled! Definitely recommend this barber shop. read more

Please Avoid At All Costs! Not Professional and Doesn't Follow Covid-19 standards!! I have never been to a barber shop and the last time I had a professional cut was at least 5 years ago. Jasen "I'm going to keep it professional" Moore is anything but that. I came in Friday September 18, 2020 for a women's hair cut and line up. Their site does not list what services are included with the hair cut so I booked a line up just in case. My appointment was at 4pm I come in and Jasen is finishing up a client and comes over to take my temperature and fill a form out. I'm not in the chair until 4:10-4:15. He told me the line up comes with the cut so that'd he'd cancel that charge and I told him I wasn't sure since the site didn't specify what the hair cut came with so I'd rather book the extra service than not. I tell him I want a trim to make my hair even and then shaped. He acknowledges this so I believe we're on the same page. I'm not sure if this is standard barber shop practice where the client is faced away from the mirror so that they can't see what's going on or just Earl's practice. He also didn't tell me when he was going in to line me up so I have really bad razor burn(?) bumps. Jasen takes 2-3 phone calls while doing my hair and I assume he had other things on his mind due to the fact he told the person on the phone someone was having lots of health issues. His friend comes in and Jasen doesn't take his temperature nor has him sign the form about not having Covid-19 symptoms so this place isn't even following state guidelines, but touts himself as professional. Once he's satisfied with his work he brings out the mirror and asks what I think and I'm horrified. He completely re-landscaped my afro. I have an oval face so this shape makes my long face stand out even more. When I told him it was boyish and that I couldn't even twist up parts of my hair anymore and his response was oh. Then he began to get extremely defensive and mad at me. "look [at the floor] there isn't much hair" I took fault for not being super specific and had even said I'd like to come back once my hair grows back, but that didn't matter. I was on the verge of tears I was ready to pay for it and leave but he offered not to charge and then tried to use that against me and that I had also booked a line up. Clearly if I had an issue with money I wouldn't have come here or booked an extra service that was included with the cut. I had assumed a trim and shape meant trim the uneven hairs and shape what's there and touch base with the client. He kept telling me that he was going to keep it professional over and over again which I take to mean that he's about on the verge to verbally or physically assault me. So I got my things and left. He couldn't even have the professionalism to dust me off so I got to go home with tons of hairs all over me. I really wanted to support a black owned business, but clearly they don't care about their community if they treat and threaten them like this so it's only a matter of time before this place sinks into oblivion. I'm so ashamed of my hair right now my resigned to wearing head wraps and having to visit mom a couple times a week to twist my hair up. read more

Earls has been my go to place for years, every since I moved to the area. Was so excited to get a haircut after months of closures due to Covid and was very impressed with Earls procedures for transmission prevention (temp check, sanitizing of surfaces, mask requirement, limiting of one client to the shop at a time). If you are in need of a cut, definitely give earls a chance. Go to his website to make an appointment. It's very simple and quick. Not only do they do a great job with haircuts, but it's a place I can put my faith in to do it right and safely. read more

We like this place - they are friendly and efficient and very good with my 2.5 year old son ... not over the top on the kid stuff (though they do give him a cushion so he sits high enough and have a kid friendly cover), but, they know how to cut hair and they make him feel both safe and important. We get compliments on his cut all the time. Affordable quality, I recommend it. read more

Yooooo! By far my favorite Barber Shop in Seattle. Big shit talking, always a must at any respectable barber shop. Jay, Earl, Chris - it does not matter your line will crisp, faded right, and tapered properly. read more

Recently moved in from LA - went to 4 barbers before finding this gem. Walked in, game was on the tv, jerseys were hanged on the wall, and a conversation about Lebron and the Lakers was going on, i knew i was at home. Great atmosphere & even better cuts. Fade was on point. Thee best spot to get your hair cut. read more

I'm between the Bronx and Seattle. This is my go to spot when I'm in town and came by today for a cut! Dell took care of me this time and I walked out looking like a million bucks. Perfect fade, line up, the works!! 10/10. He takes his time and asks questions. Of course I'll be back here. read more

I celebrate the welcoming space that Earl's Barbershop provides. My barber Dell hooked me up with a great fade & his precision was on point. Thank you for your service. read more

First time getting a haircut here today and 5 star service / cleanliness/ and talent !! Very detailed and the edge up in the front was the best shape up. read more

Moved to the area and figured I would give this place a try. Earl gave me a great haircut and I plan on going back soon. I did have to wait a little as he was running behind schedule, but it happened to be a sunny day in Seattle so I did not mind. Earl is taking extra precautions due to COVID-19 and making sure that everyone visiting his shop feels safe (temperature checks, extra sanitation, people waiting outside, etc..). read more

We were in town for work and needed a last minute cut. I called and spoke with Earl and he was able to accommodate us by getting him in at the last minute. He even waited because it was close to closing time. And Earl gave him a dope cut!! Now whenever he's in Seattle for work, Earl is his guy to go to for cuts!!! Thanks Earl and I hope you enjoy the show!! ;-) read more

Came in first time on a Saturday afternoon - I live in the CD and super close to Earl's. The best haircut I've ever had - the fade was super on point. Earl was the man and paid a huge attention to detail to make sure the blend between the different clips happened seemlessly. Hilarious conversations to listen to as well. Don't care if you're Asian, black, white - Earl will treat you right. read more

Earl and his entire team will leave you looking sharp. They're inviting, welcoming and always do a very good job. My go-to-spot in the city. Definitely going back. read more

The first time I went I got a great haircut from Dell, who is titled as Master Barber on his business card. The second cut I just got, also from Dell, will probably be my last. The "fade" is less of a fade and more of a line on the side of my head. To make matters worse, the line isn't even straight and it's uneven on each side. This place has good reviews and will continue to provide great haircuts for people, much like it did for me my first time there. But the fact that this shop and it's barbers are capable of quality service is what makes this haircut so disappointing. read more

My hubby clearly loves his haircut from Earl's. In the past few days since the cut, he's been arbitrarily commenting about Earl's: "You know, I really like that place..." or "I'm glad I found Earl's" or he'll run his hand over his head, "They really did do a good job..." Earl's certainly left a very positive impression, one I didn't hear after other shops, even places like Weldon. And that kind of lasting satisfaction is definitely 'as good as it gets.' I'm disappointed at the earlier review's fallacious attribution of an imperfect haircut to race. Oh, the power of an illusion... read more

Don't go if you have hair longer than 1/4" on any part of your head. Also don't go if you want scissors used on your head. Haircut wasn't bad other than being extremely short compared to how I normally have it. However I'm white and this is a black barber shop, so they probably don't have a lot of experience cutting hair like mine. read more

Decided to leave it up to yelp to find me a new barbershop after years of frustration with Seattle barbers since leaving California. Just when I was about to give up, walked into Earl's and I just felt that I was home! Seen the neighborhood teens, the locals college hooper, and the boy just trying to get cut for picture day. And then when my turn came, Jason hooked it up and showed out! Left this placing feeling like a first grader with new shoes on. In conclusion, I won't be driving to Portland anymore for an authentically black barbershop... I WILL BE BACK again. read more

Earl's has been a fixture in the central district community for decades and remains one of the best places to get cut up. Been seeing 'Del' for my last two cuts and both times I've gotten my money's worth. read more

I got a haircut at Earl's Cuts ​a few​ Monday​s ago​ while visiting from OakTown​. He took 20 years of my face by cutting away the gray. When he was done, there wasn't much I could say.​ And while I was In his chair, he had dope game to share. ​The high def wide screen TVs allowed me to stare, anywhere he pointed the chair. Caught up on the Warriors since my hippie daughter had me on screen lock-down while in town.​ Other CD barbers may compare, but Earl will cut my hair. read more

Friendly barbers, very high quality work. Both my sons get excellent cuts -- better than any salon and less expensive. One son has thick, straight hair; the other has tight curls. Not all barbers do straight hair. Ask for Jason, if you need one. You can call ahead for an appt. or walk-in. read more

Nice people and great cuts. We are from out of town and they made us feel at home !!! We will return when we come to Seattle again. read more

I've been going to Earls for over 10 years. I recently moved back to Seattle after a couple years away. Twice I've had appointments over looked without reasoning. After I've been told to come to the shop at specific times. They expect you just to wait after you've set an interview with zero explanation. I won't ever come back here. Bad Customer Service read more

Disgusted by the lack of professionalism. It's quite disrespectful to not operate during the posted business hours. Their website says they open at 7am. I arrived at 7:30am expecting an early cut. As of 9:47am, the shop still had not opened. I wasted $8 catching an Lyft with nothing to show for it. Definitely will not be going back. read more

Both Earl and Earl's were great. I dropped in with my son while on a 4-week road trip, and we went to Earls based on Yelp reviews. The shop and the cuts did not disappoint. As a woman I select barbers with care because you never know when these guys might get distracted and start shaping up the front like a man. Or there might be inappropriate entertainment on the screen. Neither was an issue with Earl. We got there about 8:15 and there was one person in the chair and one waiting ahead of us. Earl was quick but not rushed. By the time I got in the chair less than an hour later a second barber arrived and he did a very nice job on my son's hair. The shop was clean, the sports memorabilia was fun and we got great tips on restaurants and businesses in the neigborhood. These guys clearly love and care about their neighborhood, which was gravy on top of the great haircuts. read more

The CD's longest standing barbershop. Usually get cut by either J or Dell. They cut well and listen to try to get you what you want. Would be 5 stars if there was a reservation system outside of calling, which leads to having to wait if it's busy. They've got 2 TV's so usually there's something on to past the time if the wait is long. I Usually go on weekends. read more
