Jon is a great person and barber.. does the job right every time for me, one of the "TRUE" old school barber's.

Jon's Barber Shop - Old skool barbershop - Barbers Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

I see some reviews about the shop having hair all over the floor. The thing is, the people in there are clean and the hair on the floor isn't greasy. 6th Ave is dirty, greasy with homeless-tramps and you're walking upon that filth! I'm a very clean person, but I didn't feel unclean in this barber shop. To respond to the reviews about cleanliness: I watched Jon sanitize everything he used, the hair on the floor looked just washed because the clientelle was businessmen and well-kept children, and Jon works fast in front of a large crowd- one patron after another comes out looking polished which means there's not time to sweep between patrons- there's just not time- also, there's not space to sweep because he fills the shop with customers. This guy is busy and handles that fact very, very well. I also saw him give a screaming, squirming child a perfect haircut with a line out the door. It's air-conditioned in his shop, by the way. It's hard to believe one review that said he ever cut a child.... I'm wondering what were the details during the event in which that reviewer's child supposedly was cut... I saw Jon, well-past closing time, use a straight razor on men while a lined-up crowd looked on- Jon is deft and complete. I would recommend him for all boys and men. Jon will listen to what you want, ask a few questions, and send you out the door in 10-15 minutes ready to do business. I would recommend that someone donate some new magazines to Jon so that he can clear out the old ones. And the print of a painting that Jon has on the wall is a beautiful painting but the print is totally faded. If a wealthy patron really likes Jon, get him a real acrylic or oil painting like a Norman Rockwell-type or a local Hilltop artist- something big that's fun to look at while waiting. That's my only criticism of this shop, it needs a piece of real art. read more

Jon's Barber Shop - Barbers Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Awesome guy, perfect job, best location. And you won't brake the bank to get work done

Great prices and fast service with a quality cut! Jon was friendly and efficient. 4 people were waiting when we walked in and I was impressed to see him work through the customers with a smile and small pleasantries. He doesn't take appointments and he will answer the phone if you call. Just go, grab a seat and have a great haircut! Tapers, block, tight lines, beard trim included read more

on's Barber shop has been for me the shop in Tacoma. Jon is Thorough, knows all types of cuts. Its alway Casual inside when you go make sure you come with some sports knowledge. So you can join the conversation of the talk inside the shop to great place to go. read more

Jon is a great guy. He is an excellent barber and one of the best things that I really appreciate about him ...... he keeps his prices low. He's very reasonably priced. I really enjoy my conversations with John. I would highly recommend him, he is definitely a talented barber! read more

First time at Jon's today. He did a great job. Friendly, funny and a great price for the cut. Stop in and see him sometime.

Great spot. In and out. He did a great job cutting my hair and a third of the cost of some Barbers. read more

You're never gonna find a better value. I tip Jon sooo much, just for the company. Best old-school barbershop in town.

Next time you're in need of a haircut, visit Jon's Barber Shop and watch him work. It's art and passion to deliver a great cut, all in one. I don't know if Jon would consider himself an artist, but his passion for making people's hair look great is self-evident. It doesn't matter the age, style or amount of hair, Jon obsesses over each haircut. Watch him. If he's finished with a cut and he spots something out of the corner of his eye, out come the clippers. He's also fast. He's been cutting hair for years here in Tacoma and he knows how to make every move count. If there's no beard or eyebrow trimming, I'd say he cuts a head every 6-7 minutes. He's personable as well. Just this last week I was in there and I asked when the next Seahawks game was and with whom and he spouted out day, opposing team, place and even game start. Google and a great barber in one. Jon is also extremely affordable. Last time I was in, adults are $9, seniors $8 and children $7. You can drop a lot of money on hair, but here for under ten bucks you get a great cut and the chance to see a master at work. read more

The guy charges $9 for a decent haircut and that includes a beard trim if you like. Sure, there's hair on the floor and usually a bit of a wait, but at $9 I don't expect 1st class treatment. A few times I've witnessed him get a bit political which I don't particularly enjoy, but dude. Come on. He's a great barber who's been in the business for a long time and it's $9. Cash only, so be prepared for that. read more

I had to have a haircut for an event the next day, and danged if my barber wasn't out for a week on vacation. I came to Jon's after doing a little research. I wish I could say it was a pleasant first experience, but it wasn't. There was easily 5 different people's hair in the floor, and Jon was walking around in it. This isn't just disgusting and unsanitary. It's unsafe and illegal. The place is a prime location on 6th Ave., but it looks like no remodeling has been done since the first Reagan Presidency. I don't want to rag on the guy, but damn. Clean up, pick up, paint and patch. A weekend's worth of work would have this place gleaming. And sweep in between your customer's haircuts. No one wants to have to walk through other people's freakin' funky-@$$ hair to get to the barber chair. read more

Jon is a master of his trade at un-heard of prices in these times. Not only did he give me an amazing haircut, but did so in about 15 minutes all while being very friendly. Highly recommend and will be returning read more

Jon gets you in and out with a great cut. Your cut is finished with a hot neckline shave and the whole experience takes about 10 to 15 minutes, depending on how much hair you have. Thanks Jon! read more

I just moved to the area from DC, and I was looking to replace my barber of 15 years. I wanted the hometown barbershop feel, where a man can watch sports, talk story, and get his ears lowered correctly for a fair price. John exceeded my expectations. Not only did he listen to what I wanted, and deliver what I asked for; but at the end of the cut he pulled out the hot foam and straight razor and cleaned up the lines well beyond what I asked. And all for just $9! It IS usually pretty busy on the weekends, but take that as a good sign. John's is a great place to get your hair cut. read more

I would not recommend this barbershop the owner gives terrible haircuts and the shop is a total mess.

I don't know what to say here, as far as the haircut goes it was the best I've ever had. Jon was friendly enough, no bs, just sit down and tell the man what you want. He had my cut done in under 15min, including a neck shave with a straight razor. He's cash or check only, not a big deal considering it's a very affordable price. I had to knock 2 stars off because of the lack of cleanliness and low standards of sanitation. I walked out there with mixed feelings of looking good and feeling like I needed a shower. read more

Jon is super nice and did great on my kids hair cut! We didn't look for a fancy place just a good solid cut! And he cuts fast which is awesome in and out. Really happy! Thanks! read more

I have been going to Jon for approx 25 years. I'm 27 now so you can imagine I've had a few hair cuts. This guy is the man. He is a true barber which is hard to find these days. Always a good hair cut and you can count on a few laughs and good conversations. I will not let anybody else cut my hair. Thanks, Jon! read more

This is my boyfriend's go to barber! Jon is nice, quick and a great value for a good military cut. But be aware...everyone knows this, so he is a busy guy! read more

Sure the floor is dirty....really dirty. But Jon does a good haircut, works fast, and the price is right at $9. Just show up - he'll get you done in less than 10 minutes. read more

Jon' is awesome. Great hair cut and great conversation. Place is a little dirty but, but worth it. Only downside is it can get very crowded and he works alone so you may have wait. read more

There was a thick layer of hair from different people around the work space. So nasty. I walked in and walked back out. Take the 30 seconds after a haircut and clean your workspace. This isn't a dog grooming business. Will not come back. There are plenty of other barbers up and down 6th Ave that keep their shops clean. read more

Great men's hair cut, Fast and well priced. The shop is vintage yet practical. I recommend this barber shop for simple men's cuts.

Because of bad review I also feel the need to right the wrong done here. A nice older gentleman cutting your hair exactly the way you want it. If you like conversation, he will entertain you. On the other hand, if you have a hang over and stay quiet, he respects your need for quiet. Quick. Affordable. Convenient. Excellent. read more

There is no doubt Jon gives a great haircut at a great price. He definitely seems to have a solid customer base, as I was glad to see some old timers stop in while I was there saying they've been coming to Jon for over 10 years. To me that really speaks a lot to who he is and the great haircuts he gives. I'll definitely be coming back here for all my haircuts. 5 stars all the way, thanks Jon! read more

Quick, affordable, friendly, exactly the cut I described and expected. Would return for another cut.

Cheap but you get what you pay for. It is very dirty. My son and I were grossed out but stayed as we had no choice. There was hair and dirt everywhere and it looked as it was at least a weeks worth of un swept hair. read more

Great haircut at a great price! Plus, he is open during his posted business hours unlike a couple of other barbers who show when, and if, they choose. read more

I can see why Jon's barbershop is rated so high. He is quick and efficient and does an amazing job. Price is extremely fair at $9 for men's haircut. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Great place to get your haircut if you want and honest to goodness barbershop. I've been coming here for 5 years and also bring my son. Great deal for a great haircut. Sports are usually on the tv and plenty of good conversation with the other folks waiting. read more

I've been coming to Jon's Barber shop for years and wouldn't go anywhere else. Jon is a nice guy and a skilled barber who knows exactly how to cut my hair. My gitrlfriend always likes the way I look after a visit to his shop, which is why I keep coming back time after time. :) read more

They all good ppl here, professional, cordial, etc. Jon, Becca, Joe, young dude, old dude, Theresa It has a good vibe! Works for me, I've been taking my boys here for 5-6 years!! Becca is nice with the scissors / fade on side/back if you got long hair and Joe is "money" on anything with the clips if u just need a fade! read more

Barber Jon is the man. Always wants to talk football. Country music playing. Cheap and solid.

Jon's is a great place to go for a solid haircut at an awesome price. No complaints here! Jon's cuts are quick, simple, and always sharp. Definitely a great place! read more

Its not often that i do get my hair cut; but i have a job interview coming up and was looking a bit shaggy, I asked my girlfriend's father of any good shops because my beard was also in need of a trim. He recommended that I go to Jon's; walked in, sat down, and waited, there were a few people in line ahead of me, not too bad, waited about 20 minutes. When I got up to me, Jon was very friendly and nice, did exactly what I wanted (and helped with an idea of where to go with my hair because I dont cut it often). I got a great cut, my beard looks and feels great, and its a nice place to be overall with a sort of old-time feel. I'll definitely be coming back read more

I have been going to Jon for the past 20 years. All of my friends from High School (Stadium) and college (UPS) continue to get their haircuts here. I have never seen any shady people at Jon's, so I felt the need to write a review. If you want to talk sports, get a good cut, and at a cheap price - See Jon. read more

$7 for a great kids haircut cannot be beat any where in Tacoma. Old school type shop so if you are looking for a beauty shop feel, not your place to go. Wish there was a Jon's in Gig Harbor. read more

The dirtiest and filthiest barber shop I have ever been in.My son has been cut twice by him.John would rather talk with people than pay attention read more
