I so badly wanted to like this place. The moment I walked in I was greeted by owner, Jeff. Everyone was super cool. The place was clean and well set up. Because of this, I was conflicted with leaving a review, especially a negative review. Unfortunately, my hair cut experience was awful! Elmer, the gentleman who cut my hair was extremely friendly. However, he took an hour and 5 minutes to do a simple fade haircut... a haircut that came out jacked up. Jeff, the owner, had to step in towards the end to help him out, but by then my hair was already beyond recovery. It was significantly shorter than what I requested, but Elmer had to continue to go shorter because he kept messing up the fade. I left the place with a jagged and lopsided fade haircut. I had to go come and shave most of it off. Spent 30 minutes trying to make it look like it wasn't cut by a toddler. Usually I say you get what you pay for. But this place charges $20 for a basic barber cut, which was actually the most expensive haircut I've ever had (being Military there's usually tons of barbers who do an excellent job at a low price). Extremely disappointed! read more

We see Jeff here. Best haircut my son has ever had! He took his time to make sure it was perfect! Quality! Thanks so much Jeff!

William is one of the best. He always makes a point to get me in, even on short notice. My hair always looks great. The shop is very cozy and you are guaranteed to share a laugh while there. I give this place two thumbs up. read more

I been going to this place since it was over in Burien on 1st ave across from the McDonalds. I first came here in grade 10 and now I'm two years out of highschool. Friends recommended I go here for a cut. Met Jeff for the first time and he was super chill but can be intimidating but once you get to know him he's hella cool. Couple years later they had to change locations because the place they were at wasnt workjng out. Now they at this marine drive location and it just looks great. Better lighting and everything. The person you have to get a hair cut from is Jeff. I usually text him to make an appointment. But he takes walk in. Just be lucky that it's not busy when you walk in. This is the only guy that I let cut my hair other than when I cut my own hair to save time. But when you need a fresh cut you must go to Jeff's. He can pretty much do anything to fades, facials and line ups. His parts are too sick as well. I live over in west seattle and I drive all the way here to get a hair cut. I usually got every other week if I have the time. read more

I have never written a review on yelp but this place is worth the time to acknowledge. I have bounced around shops to find the best barber and was referred to Prolific Hair Designs by a friend. This place was far from disappointment. I've been getting my haircut from Jeff for over a year now and each time, I've received nothing but amazing service. He definitely goes above and beyond to ensure your visit with him satisfies your need. I can confidently say that he is the best barber I've had thus far. From living in Federal Way to Seattle, I never regret going out of my way to come to the shop. Best advice is to schedule an appointment prior to coming in as he is steadily booked. read more

Great place to get a cut. Jeff is the man he has never gave me a bad cut . All come see him.

Been coming here for years, Mike is not just great at cutting hair he makes you feel comfortable. Give him a call.

Great shop. Jeff has been my barber since I was a kid and he has never disappointed. Gives me good advice and keeps me out of trouble. More of an older brother than just my barber. read more

All I can say is that Mike saved my boyfriend from attending an event looking like a hobo! Steven had been busy all day, and stopped in to see if there happened to be an opening. They said it would be a while, but since Steven was in a pinch he decided to wait around. Well Mike finished his client earlier than the other gentleman. Steven begged him to give him a haircut and beard trim, and Mike obliged. (We found out later that Mike had an event himself that night and still stayed to help Steven out!) I can honestly say it was awesome to watch Mike work, the use of clippers, scissors, and straight razor was some of the best I have ever witnessed. The precision, and dedication he has in his craft is something to marvel. Steven received the best haircut and beard trim ever! He even said that he plans to make appointments with Mike every 2 weeks for his beard and every month for his hair. I am so impressed, and would recommend Mike to anyone who asks! read more

Jeff's been my barber for a couple years now and there's nobody better to have cut your hair. Great guy, fantastic shop, and overall good experience read more

Took my boyfriend here because he kept ranting on about getting a "taper fade". Their specialties were listed "fades razor lines and taper" so it looked like it was the place to go. Didn't make an appointment but they were fine with that. Both the barbers there; Jeff and Denny from the looks of it are very skilled at their craft. After a few min Denny was able to take care of the hubby, and he did a very great job! Looks like the hubby has a new go to barber. Will make sure to call in next time because they did get pretty busy read more

I was having trouble finding a barber or salon i liked that was reasonably priced, clean, professional and knew how to cut hair and not just with clippers but with scissor as well. I have been seeing jeff for about 6 years, and honestly this is the place to go. The shop is emaculately clean, the other hair stylists, regardless if you're their customer or not is extremely friendly and personable. Jeff is more than willing to help you decide, give ideas, or cut your hair however you would like. On top of it all the price of the haircut is unbeatable for the experience in my opinion. If you're looking for the type of barber shop where you can sit down and have a great conversation and get a great haircut in an awesome atmosphere this is the shop to go to. read more

I could not wait to get back home to write this review. Late last year I was referred by a family friend to a barber shop in Des Moines to get my teenage son's hair cut. The barber that cut his hair was decent, I felt like their prices were on the high side but I continued to go because my son liked it and the outcomes were good. Recently I received a text message from the barber, Charles, that the place he used to cut hair at was no longer offering these services and that appointments could be made with him at his new location inside of Prolific. So my son is in the chair, hair about a quarter of the way through the cut and I ask if they take cards? The answer was no (I hate businesses that don't take cards!). I inquired if there was an ATM anywhere nearby and was told there was a Chase on the corner. I asked how much was the cut. Charles told me $30. I knew he was joking. He wasn't. Shame on me for not asking first. This was more than double prices at his former business across the street. The brother wasn't even mindful enough to tell me at the time the appointment was made. As I make my way back into the business from the ATM, I notice a menu of the services listed as you walk in the door. It states that a Haircut is $20. I asked Charles the deal with that and he explained that he would only charge me $25. Normally, I would have gone off the reservation by now but I am extremely mindful of the lessons and the manner in which I have to teach my son. I also am extremely diligent in trying to turn over my dollar as many times as possible with small businesses (especially minority owned small businesses). Charles fed me this line that the new salon had a minimum charge for services. This ironically was totally different from the posted menu of prices at the front door. So, my son gets a haircut two to three times per month. While I was not able to always go to Des Moines, I was happy with the product. Instead of having a customer from now until at least graduation, spending $30-$60 per month for years, you have a disgruntled patron, with many colleagues and local relationships that will adamantly suggest they never set foot in this establishment due to shadiness. I HATE SHADY BUSINESS PRACTICES. I'd like to add that the haircut my son received had no designs, no parts, just a simple fade with a line. I told Charles that if these were the parameters he had to work with, I respected his hustle, I just did not appreciate him hustling me. The brother stated that he understood and respected I had to make the choices I had to make. At least we could be mutually respectful of each other. As we left, I explained to my son my issues and we kept it moving having a great sunny Seattle afternoon. The issue here is not the $10. It's the principle. Don't give me some half-baked line about Prolific's rules are the minimum fees for services are $35. If these are the rules and you know I have always done business with you cutting my son's hair for half the money, tell me the price before you start to cut his hair. Hell, tell me when we are making the appointment. Don't spend that $10 spot in one place. To the owners of Prolific, I hope you are aware of what your contractors are saying to patrons that enter your establishment. I have paid a premium for my son's hair care before. At least the salon washed and dried his hair. When are folks going to learn the value of good business practices and relationships. My price designation below is Ultra High End. In no way was there a value correlation to this designation. In tribute to the late Phife Dawg from A Tribe Called Quest, I simply say, Keep it Movin'.... I ain't got no time for shuckin' and jivin'. Peace! read more
