Hamoudi is my new favorite Barber. Very simple, no frills barber shop that I've been missing. No…read morepay pads, not confusing listings, products to upsell you on, no having to make appointments. You walk in, sit in barber chair (or waiting chair if someone is being cut), get haircut, pay (cash only), leave. It's that simple. The cheapest barber I've managed to find also at only $30 (extra $15 if you need your beard done) Seriously walking in there is like walking into a barbershop from like 20+ years ago. Hamoudi (the owner and barber) is very friendly, he'll try to engage you in conversation throughout the haircutting process and if something isn't quite right after he is done cutting your hair, he will dutifully try to get it how you want it. My past couple visits I just walked in during the afternoon after getting off of work and he's usually just finishing up with someone. No line, reservations and having to wait for to be accepted. Just a guy with clippers in his hand waiting to give haircuts, who loves to chat and loves Baseball.

I stopped going to this spot because of inconsistent hair cuts at one point they crammed a chair…read moreinto the corner so another barber could work on customers...the chair could only turn to one side. I probably don't have to elaborate on how my cut looked when I left that last time. New barbers and shop owners like this don't understand that once they've burned through the neighborhood like in the Wedgwood population they're kinda done unless they dramatically improve they run out of customers. It's not like a salon where you make an appointment and have a reputation to upkeep. Cutting hair is a technical skill. Anyone can be taught to cut and give a good cut. If a barber needs training it's not complicated to get the resources, most of training now is free thanks to the internet, or they can get the right person to show a barber the correct technique. Professionalism in being a barber and as a hair operator is extremely important since this personal service is regulated and managed by a health regulatory agency of our state government. If shop operators are treating customers poorly this could be a sign that other serious issues could also be involved in running this business. Usually these shops get multiple violations from the state board and health department. I've seen a massive increase in "Barber shops" crop up in the last 5 years. They seem to disappear as quickly as they appear. This means to me that something has become appealing to getting a quick barber license and just winging it. There are good barbers, and good hair stylists. There are also bad ones. Look at the reviews of a person's skills. No need to do a lot of research and remember that everyone has a bad day. Treating customers like crap and retaliation on a repeat good customer is an obvious vote for marking a business to go into the "no" pile, especially when your personal safety is concerned.

And you can't talk about this place without talking about their adorable dog who I consider their mascot. Secondly, they actually saved me! I had a bad experience elsewhere and they were able to fit me in at the last minute. I'm actually glad the other place fell through because I was meant to come here. Thirdly, my barber Ari was INCREDIBLE! Not only was she so kind, but her attention to detail was off the charts. I came in after 5 years of giving myself haircuts, and walked away feeling like a million bucks. She was able to translate exactly what I wanted, but made it even better than I could have imagined. 10/10 would highly recommend!!

I have been coming to get cuts from Scott for decades; in fact, I may have been one of his first…read morecustomers, back at the Magnolia shop, pre-Ballard days! This guy is consistent, skilled & efficient. Extremely gregarious, he's always got a great story or two ready to go. You might have to wait for the guy in front of you, but the conversations you'll take part in before taking your seat on the throne will be well worth your time. He keeps a clean, sanitary shop, so you never have to feel like it's an unpleasant wait here. To be transparent, I'm cursed with fantastic, thick hair; in my 40s, people would give me so much crap about how great it looks - especially my buddies who started shaving their heads in their 20s. It would be a shame not to do something good with a head of hair like this, but it is a pain for any stylist to manage well. Scott has it down to perfection; everytime I go in, I get rave reviews for weeks afterwards! I've been hired at least twice in the past, solely because of a hairstyle that Scott gave me, so I see it as a return on investment! YMMV... This place is old school, so expect your typical barbershop experience - witty banter, waiting in line (because he really IS that awesome, and people come from miles around to stand in line down the street), and the rare occasion where the barber is out for the day. Nothing that can't be overcome for the best hairstyle this side of Boston! If you don't like any of that, find a hair salon; I'm sure they'll have one of those newfangled websites and an app for your phone to get into a queue. Here, they just give out great service and clean cuts. And, I've never waited more than 45 minutes to get my seat in the chair, so any grief about long waits is just whining. Sit back, enjoy the classic decor on the walls, and join in on the conversations.

Since it was Summer & my hair is always in a ponytail or tucked under a hat, I figured a $9.99 blunt cut couldn't possibly ruin my life. It was great! The barber was somewhat brusque as he gave me a quick & efficient blunt cut. He didn't blow dry & style my hair, which was fine cuz I whipped it back into a ponytail. He asked me questions about my job, where I lived, what my husband did for a living (told me my husband is a lucky man! ). His questions didn't feel intrusive, just seemed like he's curious about people, Seattle, etc. My cut was $9.99, handed him a twenty with a "keep the change". I normally pay $55 + tip at my normal salon so this was a bargain. He told me about his career in New York & said next time I come in, he can give me a layered cut, style my hair and make me "look like the Queen of Seattle". . I think he said the charge will be $20? $30? I can't remember, but I'll update my review after my cut this coming Saturday.

Alright yelpers, here it is…read more Igor, owner/barber, will cut your hair exactly how you wish. Just be firm, listen to his suggestions, maybe even go with them! I honestly believe the man is able to see what is going to work best for your facial structure and what kind of hair your working with. Was cutting my hair in a slicked back undercut for years, with him nagging me to do a side swept undercut. Moved away for about 9 months and saw a different barber, started playing with styling it differently, and my god, my hair does look better with the side swept undercut! Back to Igor after moving back! Obviously the man can see into the future or something. He will also suggest doing your eyebrows, which apparently I've been walking around looking like Groucho Marx for years before seeing him. Just be firm, maybe don't be scared of a change, and really like $5-$10 can't be beat for a hair cut. Tip the guy. For the price, you really can't beat, even stopping in for a touch up is a deal, would you rather pay 25-30 for a complete haircut that looks like shit at the end of the month? Or pop in here (super quick) twice a month and look on point all month long for the same price? Give it a shot! Hair grows people! Get out of that comfort zone, you may find our comrade here is the MAN at cutting hair, and doesn't rip you off.

When I called the background noise seemed quiet, was told to book online. Website seemed a little fancy for me? Decided to give it a shot, booked with Kory. Showed up and it was old school- every chair filled, basketball game on in the background, a loud crisscross of easy conversations. Completely unpretentious. Felt like I was a kid at a shop in the 90's. Now, barbering is a different experience from a longer haircut- I was unprepared and completely overstimmed. I told Kory and he easily adapted, letting me know what he was doing beforehand, giving me a relaxed heads up for sensations like buzzing and shearing (as a sensory experience it was amazing, tbh). Kory also took time to reassure me that I was welcome in the cishet/masc space. I was so focused on keeping my head still I couldn't really interact with anyone else, but they all sounded cool from what snippets I overheard. Haircut looks amazing- better than I imagined, fresh for Pride and a great way to celebrate a year clear of the big C. Kory is one talented kid, 11/10. Be sure to bring cash, no card readers. Looks like I found a barber and shop
