Walked in for my appointment and wasn't greeted. When I said awkwardly said hello, staff seemed…read moreconfused about who I was. My would be barber was still with another client and told me I was "a little early," even though I arrived 10 minutes before my scheduled appointment. He then admitted he was behind after being told he now had two clients waiting for him at the same time, and tried to hand me off to someone else who actually wasn't available. After that, no apology, no estimate, no plan--just awkward silence. I canceled. I'm sure they do great work, but the communication and concern could have been greatly improved.

While it's not a cheap or rapid service, the barbers here do excellent work. And you can't rush quality. Lastly, I'll say that the crew here is fun, friendly, and everyone has a great sense of humor. Check 'em out.

They do all sorts of hair styles and even cuts Asian hair too! Anyone who's had experience with tough hair should come here. Highly recommend this place because of the convenience and quality.

I'll start with the worst: in about three years of patronage, I've had one crappy haircut at…read moreBuckhorn, from a moody guy who was obviously either having a down day, or highly disappointed to see some fat grandpa settling into his chair of fabulousness. He nicked up my neck and made me look like Beaker, and there was no savin' it. Happily, I own hats. The rest of my cuts have been stellar. They last well (careful planning by stylists) and make me look about as good as my face can manage. I've been styled by at least five different staffers, and every one (with the single exception noted above) has been attentive, cheerful, and smoothly gentle-handed. I stumbled into Buckhorn when my wife and I were seeking a shop to cut off her long, sable hair in one great swipe, for donation to Locks of Love. Despite her having done that before, she was turned down by two shops in a row who couldn't accept the possibility of her overwhelming regret. "Ah ha!," says I. "A gay-friendly barbershop on Cap Hill will man up for this!" Indeed they did. Cut her remaining hair into a wickedly cute bob, while they were at it. They've been doing her hair ever since. Pretty soon, I started booking with Buckhorn, myself. Unlike my accustomed Asian nail salon/hair butchers, these guys (and gals) don't turn a short haircut into "military minus" and unlike the old-school smock factories, I don't have to endure racist and sexist tirades from angry senior citizens who feel automatic kinship with the short-haired white guy. Stylists at Buckhorn are smart, funny, and accomplished professionals. It's a joy to spend a little time there. Pro tip: the online booking system is a PITA, particularly if you book from a pad or phone screen. The hack is to simply call, and set up your appointment directly with the receptionist. Personal taste tip: they're all great, but Jimmy's my guy. Go, Jimmy, go! Highly recommend Buckhorn Barbershop. Book today, smile tomorrow.

I've never had such an unwelcoming experience at a queer business until I came here . When I got…read morethere, there was nobody at the front desk (no biggie) someone walked up and asked if I had an appointment, when I confirmed my name he said my barber would be "with me soon" and as he was walking away I ask where I could sit and wait and he pointed out the bench behind me . The barber walked in from outside and confirmed my name and gestured to his station. I asked him where I could hang my coat and bag since I had just gotten off work which is when he pointed to the hooks by his mirror . (I'm used to this information being given to me without having to ask) once I made myself comfy I showed him pictures of the haircut I wanted and then tried to show him pictures of how I wanted my facial hair. He interrupted me and said "we would address the facial hair after the haircut" in a very dismissive tone . He cut my hair the way he interpreted the photos which was frustrating since he didn't ask to see them again to make sure he got the details right, they weren't . Same with my facial hair, it wasn't how I wanted it . It was done in half the time I'm used to it taking to get my haircut and the worst part was that I sat in silence the entire time . He didn't ask me a single question or tried to connect with me in any way, which is bizarre for a new client experience . I sat there and watched him cut my hair I don't even remember what this persons voice sounded like, I was so uncomfortable. At the end of the cut he asked me if I wanted it styled and I declined but I did want to restock on curl cream since I had ran out. He massaged some into my hair and proceeded to point to the product wall where I could find it without it showing me the product container . As I was blindly looking for it there was two guys at the front desk watching me struggle and after a few moments of not finding it I finally asked them which one the curl cream was, they pointed it out to me and I grabbed one to checkout . They gave me my total and I paid for the service with no conversation from them either . They didn't ask me if I enjoyed the service they didn't ask me if I wanted to reschedule they didn't even smile or try to interact with me at all I felt like I was not wanted there . As I walked out I had an eerie feeling like I was being watched and when I turned around, what do you know, the two men at the counter were staring at me and didn't break when I looked back at them . Super bizarre behavior from everyone I interacted with, I would never go back .

This one's a relatively review so I'll get right to the review…read more I came here on a Saturday afternoon and got a haircut from Coco, one of the barbers there. I wasn't too sure exactly what to get but I told her about what I was looking for in a haircut and she helped me figure out exactly what kind of cut I wanted! During the haircut, I chatted with all the staff, who were quite friendly, but also seemed to respect others who weren't so keen on striking up a conversation. In the end, I really liked how my haircut turned out as well so well done on that front! I think my only reservation was the cost, as the haircut costed $30 in total, which was quite a lot for me, perhaps since I'm used to suburban prices, whereas Belltown Barber is in the heart of Seattle. Overall, it turned out really nice and I will probably return here in a month or so to get my hair cut again.

Dave has been cutting my hair for over 10 years. I found him through a friend that lived in the…read moreapartments above at one time. Working downtown it's very convenient to walk over to his shop and get a cut. You can call ahead of time and make an appointment, or simply walk-in and wait in line. It still to this day surprises me how much Dave remembers from conversations with each of his customers. He will ask about stuff we discussed months prior. This really is the lost art of a personable, and easy going town barber. I hope he never retires! TIP: It's always good to call ahead. Dave sometimes takes off early or maybe out sick. However he's always very good about recording the message on his voicemail to let you know he's not there currently. He is open normal barber shop hours, so closed on Sunday and Monday. Typical open hours I've seen are 10AM - 5PM.

I noticed the recent one-star reviews; it was evident to me that the person writing the reviews was attempting to sabotage the shop rather than enlighten future customers. As a businessman my entire life, it was common for competitors or occasionally freeloaders to use the review system as a tool to either disparage a company, or, in a case at my restaurant, obtain a free meal. 5th Ave Barber has been in business for decades, thanks to Rick Bork, who provides excellent service with honesty and integrity.
