Francisco is a great barber and a very lovely person. He has cut both my and also my wife's hair. We both are more than satisfied. Reasonable prices. You should call to make a reservation before going in. read more

Sophia is great. Very kind and experienced. Make sure to call a day ahead to reserve a spot. The price is fair as well.

My husband has been coming here for years and we bring the kids every summer when we visit. My husband is picky about his haircuts and will wait until he is in town for work just to have Sophia cut his hair. We always look forward to haircuts by Sophia because she does an amazing job! read more

I was looking for a new barber shop having just moved to the area, and Starline has been a great find. Francisco is great, and Starline is easy to schedule an appointment with. I've gone back a number of times and the service and quality are great. read more

Came in early on a Tuesday morning on the off chance that I could get a quick haircut. I was lucky enough that there was an opening for an appointment, otherwise I highly suggest to call ahead to check. Looks like it's every 30 mins. I'm new in town and was due for a trim. I described what I wanted to the stylist (Francisco) and he offered his suggestions. He ended up doing a fade and I was really happy with how it turned out. Simple cuts going for $25, which is a pretty great deal. He was great to talk with so it felt like a quick appointment. They are practicing social distancing in the shop so that includes space between chairs, wearing gloves and mask, cleaning in between customers, vacuum suction instead of blow drying loose hair. read more

Starline Barber Shop - Fade - Barbers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Great haircut in a nice neighborhood. Francisco knows what he's doing. It is not too pricey either.

Only one person in the entire shop, Marie, knew how to cut hair and she left a month ago. I've been coming to this barber shop for more than six months. Now that Marie left I tried someone else. Jesus, what a hack job - not one hair left on my head remains the same length as another. Sides cut differently from the corners cut differently from the top cut differently from the back. First woman butchered it without blending, any aesthetics or modicum of skill. Using an unsanitized razor to clean me up she declared her work done. I freaked. I swear to God I would imagine that it was her first day cutting hair. So the lead barber, Francisco, who I presume to be the owner, "fixed it." Both of them started with a recent photo of my last haircut as guidance for what I was asking them to do. Francisco, after his butcher job INSISTED his haircut looks exactly like my photo. My photo shows the results. Both of them, after chopping, stood back with a smile on their face declaring themselves done. But when I ask for a refund they both wanted to pretend that they still weren't "really" done and could cut some more. Then why the hell did you take off the neck tissue and remove the apron!? Why did you hand me a mirror and asked me what I thought!? And why in the hell did you tell me that you thought your haircut looked exactly like the photo I showed you!? And then you want to tell me because I draw your attention to the haircut you gave me in the photo and ask for my money back you tell me I'm a "horrible person"!? HELL NO. The photo shows the haircut you gave me when you said you were done. If you've got a kid and don't really care about his haircut these will be the place for you. If you are a professional, if you care even a little bit about how you look, if you want anything beyond the buzz cut... DO NOT GO HERE read more

Starline Barber Shop - The abomination after Francisco finished with me - Barbers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

See all

Francisco is excellent - he's respectful, friendly, remembers his customer's prior cuts, and works hard for the amount he charges. I've been going every 3 weeks for the last 2 years, after spending the year prior looking for someone who I liked. Highly recommend read more

I just had my first haircut from Sophia at Starline Barber Shop and she did an excellent job. She took great pains to give me the exact haircut I wanted. She and Francisco are very personable and make you feel at home. I highly recommend them and will be going back. read more

Francisco's Starline Barber is a community institution. Whether receiving a haircut from Francisco or Marie, it seems like all customers walk out with supreme confidence. A fantastic barbershop. read more

I take my kid to Sofia for a haircut. She does a great job every time. Kind, on time and high quality

I just went to Starline for the first time and I was extremely impressed with the quality of my haircut. Not only was the haircut (from Sophia) fantastic, but she was so friendly and kind. It was an excellent experience and I am 100% going back. In addition to the great cut, the prices are very affordable. It is important to give them a call to schedule your appointment beforehand, but they answer the phone quickly and get you set up for an appointment very easily. Highly recommend this spot! read more

Friendly and congenial manner. Consistent quality of haircuts. Always a comfortable and pleasant experience.

This shop is so good that I get all my hairs cut here! Francisco is a maestro. Where other barbers clipping lead to folly, his hands create magic. read more

Wonderful neighborhood barbershop! Marie has been cutting my hair and doing a wonderful job cutting my hair thanks a lot!

Great little barber shop with 1-2 stylist working everyday. Clean, organized, and fast. Prices are in line with all other local shops. I'm a regular customer now because of the short/no wait, consistently great haircut, and good price. read more

Starline Barber Shop is just down the street from my house and because it had already received such great reviews on yelp I decided I would check it out. Positives: - No appointment required (in fact I don't think they take them). - Big TV in front of the chairs - You face the mirror AND the television so you can actually see what's going on the whole time. - $18 is a reasonable price point - Very comfortable chair. - Francisco was very friendly and gave a great hair cut. - Overall ambiance is very cool - and old time vibe with the right amount of modern design. Negatives: - Jerry Springer was on the TV when I arrived, which I thought was a little tacky. I did not ask for a channel change, though I'm sure he would have done it upon request. - Relatively small number of products available for purchase. I tend to buy my hair care products at the grocery store anyway, but it is always good to see a wide variety of items. Overall, very high marks to a great neighborhood barbershop. read more

I've been coming to Starline for about a year now, and I've consistently had a great experience every time. The shop is run by Francisco, a really nice guy who also happens to be a great barber. He has a couple of people working with him, and they do a nice job as well. I always feel like I get a deluxe experience when I come here. The shop is clean, the waiting area is full of magazines, and there is a nice-sized TV for watching everything from CNBC to the Olympics. After the haircut, they always vacuum you (the best part!) so you're nice and clean to continue on with your day. I don't ever feel itchy or that I need to take a shower right away after coming here. It's a good place to get your haircut, and I highly recommend it to anyone. read more

I have been coming here for almost 10 years. I moved further away and still make the drive monthly. Francisco is the reason every keeps coming back, he is fantastic read more

I love this barbershop, especially now that Marie is back after such a long hiatus. She is so good at fades and blending and it's great to have her back! read more

I have been getting my hair cut at Star Line for over 5 years. Always great results and a pleasant experience. Francisco (the owner) is such a highly skilled barber. If asked he will gently suggest styles and lengths that will work best for your hair. Otherwise he will cut your hair however you want it. This is no quicky chop shop with clients in and out of the chair in 10 minutes. Francisco and the other barbers take the time needed to do the job right. Clients tend to be primarily men. Also plenty of parents with kids, who are more than welcome. They will also do women's cuts for short hair styles. Sometimes when I pass by there are people out the door waiting. That's a good sign for any business. They have generous hours and days, so if you pick the right day/time (or call ahead to check on the line) you can avoid a long wait. Great business. Courteous and competent service. A real asset to our neighborhood! read more

I've been coming to Starline for several years. When I find a good haircut, I stick with it. Originally, Mauro was my barber here and I wouldn't let anyone else touch my hair. After he left I decided to give Francisco a shot and I was surprised because he is actually way better (God I hope Mauro doesn't read this). It looks good when he is done and it grows out very nicely. I feel bad when one of the lady stylists asks if I would like her to cut my hair because Francisco always has a line of people waiting on him. But I just can't allow others to give me a haircut since I enjoy the one I get from Francisco each time. Anyway I am sure each barber/stylist is good, but Francisco is my guy and I won't take any risks! read more

I've been coming to Starline barber since 2014 and I've always enjoyed my time there. Marie and Francisco are easy going, friendly, and just good people. They will take care of you. I have convinced my friends to check them out and now they see Marie/Francisco more than I do. read more

A classic neighborhood barbershop with great staff and terrific cuts. The owner (Francisco) and the rest of the staff are highly professional and pleasant to interact with. Me and my son have been going here since it opened have always let the shop happy. read more

Fantastic haircuts at a very nice price! Well worth the 2 minute drive up from U Village! Original old school barber chairs and cashier from previous barber of 48 years. They're carrying on a tradition at Starline! read more

Reliable, affordable, and quick. This is the only barber shop I've come back to a second time since moving to the U district and I would recommend it to anyone. read more

I never thought I'd actually take the time to review a barber shop. That's not meant as, I dunno, "what a waste of time"; its more of a "six of one" kinda thing. I was wrong. All barber shops are NOT created equal. I love Starline. Everyone is quick, courteous and does a great job every time. I've gotten to the point where I really don't care which one of the stylists is available. Granted, my haircut isn't all that complex. If (*10*) is the whatever skill/process/voodoo/witchcraft they use to produce that wonderfully luscious cascade of silky locks framing Kit Harington's (GoT's "Jon Snow") soulful eyes and chiseled chaw-line, AND; A (*1*) represents talent that's equivalent to literally anything done by the "Flowbee Haircutting System"; successful executing my haircut requires about a skill-level of (*3*), tops. For reference, a (*2*) means there's going to be blood and a 1 in 4 chance you'll lose at least part of an ear. Obviously, with a (*1*) you are permanently disfigured and need a scalp transplant. My mom bought a "Flowbee" when I was a kid. I'm still recovering. Another thing I really like is the stylists don't try to hard sell products -something I find exceedingly annoying. Maybe I should have put this first, but one of the best things about Starline is the price: $18 for a guy's haircut is pretty great. Plus, it lets me tip the stylist generously each time. I think it's a win-win. P.S. Anyone know how one might get a lock of hair from a certain GoT's actor? I...umm...I'm asking for a friend. Yeah, a not-at-all-creepy friend. read more

Walked in mid afternoon on a Wednesday with my 15yo son. Marie was able to take him within 5 minutes . She did a wonderful cut on VERY thick, pandemic, coarse hair. Not only did she do a great job but she was fast. She has gained another regular customer! read more

We are fortunate to have this neighborhood barber shop. Great barbers, nice clientele, fast service and reasonable prices. Nice hair cuts for me and/or my son. And they are all super considerate with my son, who is uncomfortable getting his hair cut. read more

Francisco and crew are the best. Love going here to get my hair cut. Their prices are great, their service is amazing. I have recommended them to at least a half-dozen of my friends, and will continue to do so for as long as I live in Seattle. read more

An absolutely great no-fuss Barbershop. Francisco is really awesome and I couldn't recommend this place enough.

At first, this place appeared to be an average barber in our neighborhood, but after having been here for a few times, I feel like it can be a 5-star. You get high quality and timely service at a good price. It is not a super fancy hair salon, but it serves my purpose. Staff are friendly and socialize politely. All, the reasons why I keep coming back. read more

Starline Barber Shop - While waiting - Barbers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Very unprofessional. The worst experience I have ever had with a hairdresser/barber. I have never been treated in such a disrespectful manner. Too bad, because Francisco was great, courteous and willing to hear what I wanted. This guy lost his temper and I was in shock. I hurried to get out of there. Would not take my children to him. read more

I REALLY find the recent poor reviews hard to believe. I've been coming here for a couple of years and it's the only place I bring my kids. In fact, I was just checking yelp for the Starline phone number to check and see that they were open today for a trim. Every time we visit I see professionalism, kindness, and patience with a very squiggly kid. I also find it suspicious when someone posts something negative and they only have one or two reviews on yelp. read more

I needed a new place to get a haircut (since the one I'd been going to downtown near work had raised their prices three times in two years) and found Starline on Yelp. It was great! Francisco knew exactly what kind of cut I was looking for, and at a great price (and he's funny, too). I love the look of the place as well. Old style barbershop. Very cool. The customer after me (I was first of the day) had been going there since he was a kid, before Francisco bought it. That's got to tell you something about the consistency of the business. read more

I've probably referred about 30 new clients to Francisco's barber shop. Here's why: great haircuts, reasonable pricing, FANTASTIC with kids. My daughters actually ask me to take them there. Miracle! When my parents are in town, they go to Starline. It's an old barber shop that Francisco renovated, yet left the wonderful 80 year old barber chairs. read more

I have a bouncing, twirling, jumping boy who could not stay still for a haircut if his lil life depended on it. His last two haircuts performed elsewhere he was miserable and throwing a fit. Today, he got a great cut from a very patient stylist. We will only be going here form now on. Thank you! read more

Francisco and Heather are such friendly and warm people. A men's haircut is only 16+tip and they do such a great job at cutting away and making you look good. I'm really happy with their cuts as well as spending time talking with them. Great people, great haircuts, and great prices. Plus free parking along the street too. I also love that you can walk right in for a cut. (They don't do reservations.) All in all, a fantastic experience. read more

Short wait (walk in only) for a great Barber. Francisco was the only one there this morning and he was just great. Fast with his hands no matter what the tool. I loved the hair and neck vacuum after the cut as well. read more

Great haircuts, bottom line. I've been looking for a decent barbershop for a while and this place is exactly what I had in mind. Francisco and Heather are wonderful. Great haircut, quick service, very fair prices. Just wish I lived closer. read more
