They also have amazing whiskeys and mezcals you can taste pre or post haircut, which never hurts. I highly recommend Counterbalance and Julio especially.

I cannot say enough good things about this barbershop! First, I have to highlight the amazing…read moreamenities. They have a really unique selection of wine, seltzers, beers, and other beverages. I absolutely love being able to relax and enjoy a drink while I wait for my son to finish his haircut; the drink options are top-tier. We actually followed our barber, Drew, from another shop, and we will continue to go wherever he is. He is incredibly patient, kind, and takes the time to truly understand exactly what you are looking for before he starts cutting. For my son's 7th birthday, he decided he wanted a special design cut into his hair... the number 7. Drew was so patient with him and executed the look perfectly. My son absolutely loved it! The environment here is so comfortable and welcoming. If you want an outstanding barber who delivers exactly what you ask for, go see Drew. This place is a 10/10, and I highly recommend it! Thank you, Drew!

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 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.

For both, I said I wanted a buzz cut and beard trim leaving my beard a little long on the bottom to make my face look longer. Haircut 1: Awesome. Exactly what I wanted and beautifully done. Haircut 2: Not a bad haircut, but not at all what I asked for. He trimmed the side of my head, and left the top at its previous length. He then trimmed my beard to one length. Also worrisome: After trimming my beard, then my hair he asked "did you want me to do your beard?" Again, not a bad haircut, just not what I asked for.
