Flew in the Maple Valley area and needed a redo for my haircut I got at some other salon. Needed to prep for a family photo shoot and this came in clutch. When we reached out it was all through Yelp and was able to get an appointment booked first thing in the morning. Met with Virgil right when they opened and he was able to clean me up right. Got a skin mid fade, lineup in the front, slight trim on top to do a pomp/slick back style hair. Everything was done promptly and we were able to have great conversation in between. You definitely get what you pay for. Clean environment, great atmosphere, good vibes and conversation. 10/10 would recommend anyone in the area going. read more

Joel Perez Barber Shop - Skin mid fade, lineup in the front, trim on top for slick back/pomp - Barbers Near Me - Renton, Washington

I would never think of going anywhere else for my hair. Anjo is the man, and always knows exactly what to do with my hair. The vibe is laid back, and you don't have to be someone you're not. Highly recommend trying this spot out if you aren't satisfied with your current barber. read more

every barber is very skilled. light skin fade was tight as well as the hot towel shave. I was concerned because my skin is sensitive to close razor shaves,but anjo did an excellent job to keep my face smooth and free of razor bumps. every barber here is very skilled and detail-oriented so make sure to reserve a day or two in advance cause it does get busy. if you don't sschedule an appointment, you will wait for an open chair read more

MJ is the best! I highly recommend him. His technique and skill set is advanced. Always regret taking my grandson to another salon because they is a huge difference in the quality of the cut. read more

Was able to take my son for a long overdue haircut the same day I called. Very attentive & friendly staff. My son is only 5 years old but the barber (I think he's the owner) managed to be very quick with such amazing result! Will continue to take him at this barbershop and it's only 5 mins away from home which is a plus!! Highly recommend! read more

Expensive, bad cut, and rude. Hit the trifecta of reasons for me to not come back. The barber was pretty aggressive with the razor which ended in razor burns. Very bad experience. Only accepting cash is also annoying and sketchy. read more

I loved the cut that they did on my brother! Their professionalism and talent for their craft is superb. Though I do recommend you make an appointment because the wait could be long, I understand and see why. They take the time and effort to really perfect the style according to the customers' requests. Every customer that I saw came out with a fresh and clean style. I also enjoy the vibe in this place. I recommend this shop and I definitely approve of my brother coming back here to get his haircut! read more

Doesn't do fades well Doesn't us a strait razor for a clean line up. Not sure where pictures on site come from. My mexican friends hair was a mess. read more

This review is only for Lorenzo because he showed he doesn't for his craft and your opinion doesn't matter. I had previously gotten a cut from him and everything was good (he was actually covering for another barber I had made the appointment with) - months later, I need to make an appointment for my teenage nephew. This is our conversation via text: Me: Can I come in for an appointment today (Monday) at 6:45pm? L: I don't work on Mondays. Me: Okay, let's move it to Tuesday. L: Okay Then few minutes later he asks if I can come in before 6pm. If I had made an appointment for 6:45pm, why the hell do you think I can come in before 6pm? Already a sign that he's in a hurry and trying to rush me. We show up and I immediately point to the haircut of another barber in the shop and instruct him to cut the exact same thing. He goes to cutting. When he's done - it looks nothing like the guy working less than 10 feet away. The height of the back is wrong and I point this out. His excuse is my nephew's neckline is longer than the other guy's. Okay, valid. But why didn't you shave more off so that the heights are the same? He says I was on my phone the entire time. Does this even matter? Someone tell me what difference that makes? Do I need to babysit you while you're working? I guess so because you apparently can't follow instructions. For god's sake, the exact haircut is standing right there in front of you! How many more words can I say to make this understood? He's pissed that I told him I wasn't 100% satisfied with his work and gives me a hard time about fixing it. His taper in the back isn't even balanced - one side longer than the other. He doesn't want to do anymore work on my nephew's hair because he has to go. There are 3 other barbers who are still working and you want to leave? I tell him if he doesn't want to fix the height then I can ask another barber in the shop to fix it and I'll pay both. No, he doesn't give me that option. This just proves to me that he doesn't care and his ego is too large to take constructive criticism. He says next time I can make an appointment with the other barbers instead of him. Needless to say - I'll find a new barber. For $30, skip this dude and go with one of the other guys in the shop that WANT your business. read more

Owner is very unprofessional and will have you WAIT IF YOUR APPOINTMENT WAS AT 11:00 Well don't be surprised if he gives haircut to someone and tells you to wait. F*ck this place read more

What a disappointment, I came to the shop Saturday oct 27th around 10 am no appointment scheduled. I was ok with that- I mean I didn't have an appointment- so I waited. 10-15min passed and a second customer walked in was also told there's a wait. We waited and waited. A third customer walks in (total time waiting now is 30-35 min) and is asked if he has an appointment "was encouraged to say yes by the barber- you're not slick btw. So automatic he jumps in front of the 2 of us waiting. Smmfh. I sit there with disappointment on my face. if this is how you run a business you will not see a $ from me ever again. Nice place but if it's ran like this you'll be like every other shop that has came and gone locally ....... word to the wise- make the money that's in front of your face instead of making money wait on you. Cause we won't wait longer than anyone else. #supercuts for the win. read more

Joel is a master at his craft! Consistent with his fresh line ups & fades! I've been a custy for years, and will be for years to come.

I wasn't referred or told about this shop from a friend! I found this barbershop from Yelp! This morning I finally admitted to myself that I needed a haircut. It was getting out of control! Don't let this shop, which is located in a strip mall, stop you from going in! Parking is aplenty and as soon as you walk inside you'll be impressed! The interior is probably the cleanest looking shop, or salon I've ever seen! The decor is definitely stylish! The seating is against both walls, and the barber chairs look bad ass! You won't see the wash room area but I think it's for the privacy of the gentlemen getting shampooed before a haircut! I was a walk in and totally knew I may have to wait. The wait wasn't bad at all and my rockstar barber was King! He came in, and was eager to showcase his skills! He has this awesome style, his style was definitely one I was cool to! He took me from drab to fab! The skin fade was outstanding and I honestly LOVED how he styled it with gel. The tiny register at the desk is easy to use, and King only costs $30.00 for a cut! Thanks King for the awesome service and I'll definitely be back! The amount of guys waiting for their barbers, definitely speaks to the outstanding service offered here!!! I'll be referring everyone I know to this shop! Thanks, and see you in a few weeks. read more

Im not a big Yelper reviewer and I've had a lot of haircuts in my life, but this is the first time I was strongly compelled to leave a review. The reviewer below me, Or B., got it right: this place reeks like marijuana while grossly explicit music blares (I'm not talking mainstream rap). The guy who tried cutting my hair looked stoned, one of his eyes was literally half shut. After explaining what I needed (basic crew cut with adjustments due to way my hair grows) dude proceeds to tell me it's weird and starts talking with waiting customer about how it's weird. Barber had trouble understanding how much half an inch was because he proceeded to cut way more than that in one particular spot. After I told him it was uneven and a bit short there he proceeded to cut in exact same spot! Needless to say I had uneven hair all over my head and just generally a terrible job. I had enough and told him this haircut was over. I start walking to the counter with credit card equipment and this guy tells me it's cash only and says it's $30, knowing he messed up. Oh well I hope he puts the $30 towards barber training or a ruler. What a sad place. read more

I was referred by a friend and booked an appointment with Lorenzo. I was so impressed by his skill and attention to detail on the first visit and have since gone back 5 times. He is excellent - its usually about 30 minutes of cutting as he makes sure the fade is perfect and I walk out with a clean cut. He really is the best barber I have had. I book an appointment 3-4 days in advance and he is always very accommodating. I would highly recommend him. Attentive, precise and a true professional - worth every penny. The shop is relaxed and friendly - I recommend it! read more

I didn't like that one Barbor started cutting my hair and the another had to finish it. I don't know if they changed their prices or not but I was charged 40$ for a beard trim and a fade. It's a bit much. I go to Kingdom Cuts which is a 2 minute walk from there. Much better service. read more

I don't have much experience with barber shops, but now that I have a son I need to pay attention. Called ahead to see if they could cut my 14-month-old's hair and they were super friendly on the phone and offered to do it same-day. They had a cool car barber chair for him to sit in and he loved the energy of the place. Robert did an amazing job on the haircut and even pulled up cartoons on his phone for my son. I'd say he went above and beyond to give a great haircut and overall experience. The last place we went was another local barber and my son screamed the whole time. I was prepared for WWIII this time but not one tear was shed! It was nicely remodeled in there and clean! Guys were all very cool and friendly. After tonight, I'd highly recommend. read more

I'm always treated with courtesy and respect. Not only that but I get the best fades and cuts here. If you're looking for the cleanest combover fade, come see my guy, Norman. He's very professional and always takes his time. I receive lots of compliments on my hair. read more

Had a chance to get my hair cut with Joel. He runs a fantastic shop, amazing cut that I've already had people asking me where I got my hair cut from. Definitely go here. read more

The owner was the one who gave me my fade yesterday. He did a great job, I was very pleased with my haircut. He was kind and very friendly. I will definitely continue to go back and get my hair cut at this shop. The pricing of the cut was good too. The barbershop is very clean and organized. read more

Brought my brother to this barbershop for the first time and was very impressed with their professionalism and attention to detail. We were a walk-in on a busy Saturday evening but they promptly made us aware that they would be with us shortly. Our barber Robert was very attentive to to the type of look my brother wanted and was able to make it happen. Also, noticed a lot of younger kids coming in to get their haircuts done and noticed the staff was very patient with them. Definitely would reccomend this barber shop! We will be back read more

My first time here and did walk-in on a Saturday. They were really busy but Robert worked me in pretty quick. Great cut, friendly people, the store looks newly remodeled and they keep the place really clean. The guys were doing a great job working with the kids that were there to get their hair cut. I recommend this place if you are looking for a good place to go. read more

So this is the first yelp review I have ever written. I was very excited to get my hair cut for New Years and had let my hair grow out for a few months so the barber had a lot of hair to work with. Now to the part where the barber made a mess of my hair. I came in to this shop when it was closed I guess but the guy still said he could take me and he looked like he was busy cutting his friends hair at the time. I sit down then 5 mins later he said could I come back and I said no because I leave the next day, but I was completely fine with going somewhere else in Texas I just thought I would get it done that day but didn't care. This guy said he would cut t don't worry so I waited while he finished his friends hair. The cut he gave his friend was amazing and spent awhile on it. He then let me go before his next friend was up so instead of taking his time with me like he was doing with his friends he finished my hair in about 10 mins and didn't listen to anything I said or wanted with my hair and ended giving me a short military cut and it wasn't good and made it impossible for me to do anything with my hair at all. What makes this worse is before he started citing my hair I told him I would hook him up with double the cost of the hair cut which was $25. So I told him I would tip him $50 for a TEN MIN HAIR CUT. What a waste of my time. All this guy had to do was say no to me and I would have gone somewhere else and still had my $25 dollars and all my hair. This guy was the owners son and was so in professional and didn't do me any favors. He got me done in 10 mins and made $25 for nothing. Never tipped a barber $25 for anything because my cut isn't that hard. I was being nice for him taking me in with no apt, but if a customer says he's going to tip you $25 for a easy haircut you spend as much time as you would on your friends who probably aren't paying you more than $3 for a tip. It's sad because I know this guy is good but he made it so I had to write this review . Horrible cut an left me feeling like an idiot for leaving him that tip. As we were checking it he even reminded me that I was suppose to leave him double the cost....hah yeah man I kNew that but I wasn't about to do it after what you did to my hair and how fast your cut it. I will never offer a tip like that again because of you. Once again guys this is the owners son who did this. He's no friend to new customers and obviously doesn't want to make his fathers business money and make him look bad by messing with customers who tip 100% for crap work. Hey bud just say no next time!!!!!! Don't take hard earned money and do crap work. read more

My fiancé wanted a haircut while I got my pedicure next door. He went in and the man working was waiting for his next appointment. As my fiancé was sitting and waiting for his turn. A mother and her son come in with NO APPOINTMENT so the man cut the boy's hair, once he was done, my fiancé asked if he could get his haircut next and the man said oh I have someone coming soon. My fiancé left and went to wait in his car for me. While he waited for almost 30 minutes he told me no one went inside the barber shop to see that man who was working and supposedly "waiting for his appointment". Why turn away a customer who just wants a haircut from your business. read more

I came here in the recommendation of a friend . After a disastrous cut from the previous day at a Salon , this was my first barber experience . I was at first a bit apprehensive but I was desperate cause of what happened the day before . Jon was the guy who would try to correct the damage that was done and let me just say what he did was amazing and i wasn't even sure if he would have been able to fix the problem I had . He took his time and did what he could with a busted haircut from the salon . Cool dude and I am already planning on seeing him again once it's time to go in . I'm glad my first experience at a barber shop was a good one . If he can fix a busted haircut I'm more than confident he can be consistent with a normal cut . I would definitely recommend jon! read more

11/21/18: car battery dies before my california trip and had to cancel my hair appointment with my regular stylist in Downtown Seattle.

Thanks Norman for the last minute and very good haircut! read more

Joel arguably one of the top barbers around. Been goin to him for 10 years. Wouldn't go elsewhere. Def check him out.

I've been getting my hair cut by Joel for 8+ years. Its perfect every time! I literally cannot go to any other place for cuts ever since I got my first cut. Definitely make an appointment before you go. read more

Majority of the barbers' work is top notch. Made an appt with Mike who did an excellent skin fade. Great environment as well.

All the barbers here are professional and have a good work ethic, plus exceptional customer service!! My favorite barber is Norman. Down to earth guy. Best Fades in town. Don't feel shy to stop by! read more

I was skeptical about this place just because I had a bad experienced of going to a random barber shop once before. Immediately entering the shop I was greeted w/ open arms by everyone! Looking around is super clean, good music & good vibes, I felt comfortable. I got cut up by a young gentleman name, MIKE VALDEZ , one of the best cuts I had in years! I'll be returning for future cuts & I highly recommend this barber shop. read more

Hidden gem. These guys are great. High attention to detail, even when there's a long line of people waiting. Found my new spot.

Amazing atmosphere! Everyone is extremely friendly. They get pretty busy so it's best you book an appointment ahead of time. My barber is Mike Valdez. I go to him because his attention to detail and scheduling flexibility. read more

I go to Lorenzo, the man always gets me right! It's hard to find a barber that does Venmo so that's a plus. He showed up on his day off, early in the morning because I needed the cut. No other barber did my hair right until I sat in Lorenzo's chair. The man is top notch! read more

Went to Joel's Barber Shop while looking at barber shops in the area. Was very glad that I stumbled upon his place. Highly skilled and detailed. Very friendly and clean environment. read more

Freshest haircuts in the Greater Seattle area! Appointment only for Joel specifically. He's always on time and very professional. My favorite part is I feel he takes a lot of pride in the details of each haircut. I've been going to him for 3+ years and referred multiple friends his way and they don't go to any other barbers. Highly recommend. read more
