Always excellent service and some of the best Beard cuts in the business Usually go to Mike or Anna, (although everybody I've ever used has been excellent) Highly recommend read more

Walked in for my appointment and wasn't greeted. When I said awkwardly said hello, staff seemed confused 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. read more

Highly recommended hip barbershop (without the hipster service...everyone is professional and friendly). Mike who is very skilled and thorough did a fade on me. Consistently exceeds my expectations. read more

I've been going to Phil at Sal's Barbershop for the last decade, and he's been consistently amazing. Not only is Phil a great barber, but the entire team there is top-notch. I always see the same regulars, which says a lot about the quality of service. Phil's attention to detail is unmatched, and you'll leave his chair feeling confident every time! read more

I've been to this barbershop a couple of times, and Anna has given me solid haircuts each visit. She checks in throughout the cut to make sure the style is on track, which I really appreciate. Plus, she's a great conversationalist, making the experience relaxed and enjoyable. If you're looking for a barber who listens and creates a comfortable atmosphere, Anna's the one to go to. read more

Anna gave me one of the best cuts I've ever had plus she kept me feeling comfortable with great conversation.

I've been going to Sal's since I came to Seattle 2 years ago. David does a really good job cutting hair and its at a very fair price for the area. As I always do at a new barber I gave a general idea of what I wanted but was open to whatever they thought looked good. As a result now I always get a clean fade. Courteous, on time, friendly, will keep going here as long as I'm Seattle. read more

One of the Best Barbershop's in Seattle. Coulter has been my barber for years. One of the few WHITE BOYS that not only I trust but can cut BLACK HAIR. Highly recommend. read more

David was outstanding. He seemed to really care that I was getting exactly what I wanted. He asked questions and gave advice to ensure I was getting what I wanted. Super friendly and polite. 100% would recommend him! read more

Recently moved to the area and typically have difficulty finding a barber that can handle my type of hair. I did some research and found, David -- he absolutely killed it. Phenomenal barber that knows what he's doing. This has been the easiest barber search I've ever experienced after moving to a new place. read more

Friendly staff, take their time getting the style just right! Definitely a good local shop in Capitol Hill. I'd recommend making an appointment just to be sure you can get in; they seem busy and deserve to be! read more

I only write reviews if I had either an incredible experience or an awful one... This morning Anna not only met, but went well above my expectations for a haircut! I'm extremely picky and critical of who cuts my hair, so this was a huge leap in faith to come here this morning. This is one of the best haircuts I've ever had and from the coolest barber I've yet to encounter. It didn't take long to realize how detail oriented she is and that she cares what you'll look like leaving her seat. I'm from DC and this is my first time visiting Seattle, but I confidently know where I'll go if I'm ever in Seattle again looking for a haircut. Thank you Anna for such a sharp cut and all the recommendations you gave for the rest of my trip! read more

He visitado Sal's desde hace aproximadamente 2 años. Siempre he tenido un corte de cabello extraordinario con Phil. Además, su trato es siempre amable y amigable. Cabe mencionar que también proporciona un servicio rápido. Sin duda los mejores! read more

Phil always impresses! The first barber I feel totally comfortable saying "I trust you, do whatever you think will look good" Highly recommend! read more

I always get my hair done by Ana, and I must say that she is really good at cutting my hair. Also, she is super nice. I love coming here, they are the best! read more

Ana is the best! They are so friendly and really take pride in the cuts they provide. Loyal customer here!

I had tried many Capitol Hill spots for quality beard sculpting only to experience less than mediocre results until I found Sal's. Sal has the skill necessary to achieve a real shape to the beard that's not easily found these days. The Line-up ONLY option when booking online books you for a beard only appointment directly with Sal. You will not be disappointed. read more

I have been coming here since I moved to Seattle last year. My son turned me onto the idea of having his barber do my hair since I was getting frustrated with typical hairstylists (women don't really understand how I like to wear my hair!) Anyway, his barber, Colter, is awesome. He is a true hairstylist hands down! He pays attention to detail and takes his time. He asks you what you want and doesn't just start hacking into your hair! Great conversation. Cool surroundings. Love watching the passerby pedestrians. Capitol Hill is a neat area to hang out! If you want a decent haircut for guys or gals, definitely check out this place! read more

Sal's Barbershop - My first experience with Colter's hairstyling. Love my haircut! © - Barbers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Best barbershop in town hands down. Dave or Phil will give you a real nice line up. I've been going to Rudy's for a long time getting my hair all jacked up. I'm glad I found a real barbershop that knows what they are doing. Make sure you book online because these guys are always full and it's tough to just randomly walk in. read more

If you're new to the city and looking for a barber, this is the place. Affordable price and David is one of the best barbers I've had. He makes sure he cuts it exactly how you want it. read more

I love Sal's. Been going there since 2015 and the yin yang experience of Dave and Phil keep me looking fresh to def every game. To the point that kids are copying my hairstyle :) love these guys and the barbershop vibe. Cheers read more

I've been a regular here for a while now. Phil is super chill and always gives a great, consistent haircut. Online booking and half off haircuts ($10) Tues, Wed, and Thurs 9-10:30am makes it even better. I would absolutely recommend this place. read more

Phil did a nice job with my haircut. I like that you can book online. The first time I entered the store, I was not sure I was cool enough to get my haircut here. It worked out just fine. I really enjoyed looking at the Seattle mural on the wall. I received many compliments on my haircut. One thing: Phil did round out my hairline near my temples, and since I don't get my hair cut very often I will probably ask him to leave that natural next time. read more

Pros: Colter is great! He always gives me a great haircut and he's very friendly too. All the people who work there seem to be real friendly. Also, I've gotten lucky with some same-day appts before. Cons: They don't take credit cards! Also, the shop smells too strongly of products that contain alcohol, it's like sitting inside a bottle of aftershave. :P read more

Walking by Sal's shop after dinner I noticed there was a $10 special for cuts between 8 and 10 am. Great news since i live nearby and walk downtown to work every day. It got even better when I found out I could book on line. Sitting at Rudy's or wherever with 3-10 other people in front of you in line is always a buzz kill when all you want is to walk in, get a cut and walk away. Booking it on line was easy and i knew that time slot was mine. Oh, and then Phil was friendly in a professional way and gave a great haircut. So two other ways for Phil to exceed expectations than just giving a great haircut, a great discount and a way to reserve on line so I don't have to wait in line and waste time like a lot of other barbershops that don't take formal reservations. The Jim barber refered to in a review below has been gone for over a year. read more

This review is long overdue. I recently moved from the Bay Area to Seattle about 8 months ago. I had a regular barber there who did a good job. I was legit stressed out trying to find a barber here. I've had bad experiences with super cuts and other barbers. After vetting all the barbershop in the area, I chose this one. I booked an appointment with Phil and I have been going to him ever since. I go about once a month and he is always on point and the best. I have thick, coarse, Filipino hair which is hard to manage and some barbers get intimidated. I told Phil how I wanted it cut and how I typically style it, and he knew what to do. Great job all the time and thankful I found this place. I recommend booking an appointment instead of just walking in. read more

FINALLY - someone who knows how to cut Asian hair. This is a solid barbershop with reasonable pricing. Went here for the first time today, and I finally found my spot. David is the man, buzzed me high and tight -- flawless victory. Even dropped some hot tips on best places to go hiking. Just make sure to book online in advance. read more

I was really stoked when I walked in, I loved the vibe, and had checked the reviews and saw nothing but praises. Being an out of towner, I thought it might of been a bit risky to get a hair cut while traveling, but this seemed like a sure shot. I don't remember the name of the lady who cut my hair, but she didn't listen to a thing I asked for, maybe this is one of those barber shop that specialized in 1 type of haircut, but all of my requests were ignored. First off, I asked for a low fade, the fade was just about the highest it could of been, well above forehead level. Second, I asked to take very little off the top and she took off about 2 inches, which was a drastic change for the length of my hair. Third, she cut my hair assuming I would gel it in a very specific way, I never use gel, never have never will, after I told her I would never wear it like that she kept going, and gelled my hair. I wouldn't mind that if I could actually wear the hair style she gave me without gel, but it was horrible, I've had to wear a hat since, even at work. I know hair grows back out, but when you spend the money for a provided service, and the person just sees it their way and assumes they know better, it's a recipe for disaster. read more

DO NOT GO HERE! This has been the worst experience at a haircut in my entire life. The barber, seemed interested in only talking to his co-workers/ buddies. I asked him to give me a 2 on the sides but because they face you away from the mirror, I had no idea what length he was giving me. However instead of seeing a 2, I saw nothing. Completely shaven on the sides with long hair on top was a horrific job to say the least. "I'll see around bro!" No, you will not. read more

There isn't much more to it than this: great haircut, great conversation. I got my hair cut by Phil today and I am very pleased with it. He did a great job and asked me lots of clarifying questions about what I wanted, which made me feel confident that we wanted to give me the haircut I wanted. He had lots of interesting things to say and made the 30 minute haircut go by fast. The snippets of conversation I heard around me made me think that the other customers were enjoying their cuts too. I was able to pay with my credit card, which I usually don't expect in small barber shops. I really liked their online reservation system too. It was super easy to make an appointment and the prices were very clear. Great place, this will be my new default for haircuts! read more

Dave gave me a great fade and could control the thickness of my hair by thinning it out. He cut around my hair twice to make sure there wasn't any stranglers. Heads up, I didn't make a reservation a week before and Dave was always on time. read more

The best barbershop! Dave does some amazing work. Their booking app makes life easier since they are popular. read more

This place is a legit, old school barbershop! No bells or whistles or add-ons, just a clean cut and a slice of history. Phil's been cutting my hair for a while and I wouldn't go anywhere else! read more

When regular hairstylist went MIA, I knew I needed to find a new shop; when I rolled to Sal's I was pretty damn sure that it would be a one time thing, but David completely changed my mind. Great stylist and super chill. I can't comment on the rest of the place, but David definitely earned 5 stars for Sal's. I'll definitely be going back regularly. Oh yeah, the haircut was great. Enough said. read more

I went to Sal's as a walk in and was greeted immediately. A friendly barber named Jamie was available and started to work her magic. The price was $20, she did a great job. The place was loud, she had a space heater at her station so it was not cold. The chairs are a little old fashioned so it gives it a bit of charm, but I did feel bad that she had to pivot the chair from time to time to move me around, which I don't believe would be an easy task. I give her 5 stars for her strength, professionalism, and talent. read more

I go into Sal's looking rough and come out looking fly (yes, "fly"), so they're doing their job. Makes them alright in my book.

If you want the coldest line up in town go to sal's and talk the Phil or David. I second guessed them at first because I usually only go to Black barbers, but these guys are the truth! read more

This was the 2nd time I had my haircut by Jaime. The first time was great, I was really happy with it. The 2nd time it was like she wasn't even really there, she kept saying that I wanted a 'business' haircut whatever the hell that is. I told her I just want a scissor cut. I ended up with it cut high around one ear and the other ear was cut low with uneven sideburns with my head looking like I had a haircut with hedge trimmers. I wasn't facing the mirror so I couldn't see what she was doing 90% of the time. Her job is hard, I get that I really do. I think I caught her on a bad day or maybe I waited to long between haircuts I dunno. Not sure I'll be back it all felt really off she wasn't really 'there'. Gave her a great tip though read more

Sal's is my go-to barber shop for over the past year or two. I get my haircut every 4-6 weeks by Colter. He does an excellent job with both the clippers and scissors. In the beginning I went to other shops in capitol hill, beacon hill, and u district but I became a regular at Sal's because of consistency. My fades and tapers are always on point. Colter is able to dial into the details of a cut which is very much appreciated. He's always packed with his schedule so make sure you call ahead of time if you want to book an appointment with him. I'm not going anywhere else for a haircut any time soon. read more
