I went with my partner to The Scotch Pine barbershop and we booked an appointment with Kojak Harford, one of the co-owners. The shop itself is small and cozy, and Kojak was super friendly and attentive. He also acknowledged me being there and had a friendly chat, which made the whole experience feel even more welcoming for both of us. He really listened to what my partner wanted and delivered exactly the haircut he envisioned. My partner was very happy with the result and already said he'll be going back. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a great barbershop in the area! read more

Been going to Kojak for years now - nobody can cut hair like him! The shop has a great vibe and I always leave feeling good.

A comfortable spot where you are welcomed into whatever conversation is going on and you get a top-notch haircut from a great barber.

Scotch Pine is filled with enthusiastic and high spirited barbers who love what they do! Be especially careful with Mark Stuebe though. So charming you might fall in love with him! read more

Been a long time customer and wont let any other barber in seattle touch my head. Mark is a fade and beard trim ninja. Clean shop and plenty of street parking makes this spot convenient from anywhere in Seattle. read more

Couldn't be prouder for Mark and Kojak to finally get their own place. Been following Mark around for the past five years when he started at Squire and then moved to the original Scotch Pine in Cap Hill. Great guy -- who does great cuts and clean fades -- keeps my cuts tight every 2 or 3 weeks. Only major criticism and I mean major!!! Mark has yet to watch the "Godfather" - What?!? I know?!? Right?!? How does someone this dope, have this missing from his life?!? We need to start a petition or intervention and strap him to a barber chair and make him watch Godfather 1 and 2 (we'll spare him from 3). read more

As a long time client I have a hard time posting this review. After much consideration I feel it's my obligation to put it out there. I have been a customer since the beginning of time. Started with Emily "the owner" then I switched to Brian. Over the years I have had the privilege of sitting in most everyone's chair. Over the last couple years the quality of service and cleanliness has dropped below any moderate standard. I could go on about this and that but I'll cut to the point. In a world of social media I follow most the barbers on Instagram. A couple weeks back I saw a photo come across of one of the barbers cutting a client that wasn't wearing a mask. In that same photo you can see someone that isn't a employee of the scotch pine using a barbers equipment to take care of him self while he isn't wearing a mask. Due to this pandemic I've lost a close loved one so seeing this just makes me ill. I could see the place plummeting vigorously but this is beyond awful. Us customers expect more read more

Kojak is great - he's been cutting my hair for about 2 years now. Always does a good job and is super friendly. It's a relatively pricy spot but it's a different model than a 15-20 minute hair cut you might get at another place. Kojak will spend closer to an hour getting the cut just right and it's nice to not have to go through the "grow-in" phase where you don't like your hair for the first few days after it gets cut before it starts to look more natural. FYI - they've moved from their spot in Chophouse row closer to a new location in Madison Valley. read more

I moved to Capitol Hill in May of 2019 and have been coming in about once a month since then. I've always had a good experience with Emily and the rest of the staff until my last experience. I had a very large beard and needed it to be short and professional for job interviews. My barber Ben Taylor did not use scissors on my beard once, did not ever lean my chair back once, and proceeded to give me what is arguably the worst beard cut I've ever experienced in my life. It was so uneven I had to go buy a beard trimmer and fix it myself at home. When he cut my hair I felt like he was taking too much off to which he replied that he was not, then when we finished I expressed that what he had done was not what I had in mind and his response was to tell me I should get better at explaining what I want, and it might not be what I want but it's what I got, then rushed me out of his chair. Never in my life have I had such a terrible experience with a barber before. Every other experience there was great but after this I will never go back, or recommend this place to anyone read more

Yoshi was super chill and did a great job. You can see his care and attentiveness during the haircut. Definitely a barber with respect for the craft. Will definitely be going again! read more

Honestly not impressed for all the hype it gets. There was not a focus on me as a customer. The barber I had kept chatting it up in the middle of my haircut with one of the other barbers and also with some remaining customers. This happened many times throughout the cut, at least 4-5 times, where I was just left sitting there waiting for them to wrap up that part of the conversation. For a place that charges a premium ($45 for a cut) this is absolutely not acceptable. I've had better customer experience at a Great Clips... This was a late (7:00 PM) appointment with no manager there. Maybe the barbers take advantage of the business after the manager is gone. The cut was quality, the barber seemed fairly personable, but for $45 I'll take my business somewhere else. Another annoyance to top it off, the default minimum tip on their machine was already at 20%... If you're going charge top dollar for a cut you need to have it all, quality cut and making sure that the customer is the center of your attention. read more

If you're looking for your forever barber/stylist - look no further than The Scotch Pine. I met Mark two years ago after rotating through the best that Seattle has to offer and haven't looked back since. Before each cut, Mark takes the time to thoroughly understand what I'm trying to achieve and asks questions/provides input on details that i would have never have thought of on my own. read more

I've been coming to see Mark off and on for years. He really takes the time to ask questions and is super detail oriented in his work. I always feel super confident after I see him for a haircut. The space on 23rd & Madison is sleek but charming. Also, when I got there, the other barber working offered to take my coat and gave me a bottled water. CLASSY. Much appreciated! read more

I've never had my beard professionally done before, and figured why not. All the reviews pointed me to Scotch Pine and I booked with Tracy, which was sorta random admittedly as a choice... but now I have my beard looking the best it EVER has, with one of the best haircuts I've ever had, and a fantastically interesting conversation to boot! I'll be 100% back. read more

I have been exclusively going to the Scotch Pine and Mark for my haircuts for years now and have never ever been disappointed. He is truly amazing. I've also had my hair cut by Kojak and had a great experience! The guys at the Scotch Pine are such a great group of people and stopping by for a cut is always such a relaxing and satisfying experience. So excited for them and the new location - if you're looking for a go-to barbershop in the city - this is the one. read more

I'm leaving Seattle soon. But I wanted a haircut before I left. I got my appointment through their website and showed up 15 minutes early. Jared gave me a great cut, as always. I will be sad to not have someone who's a good barber and a good conversationalist to sit in the chair of monthly for a great haircut. read more

Emily at the Scotch Pine is amazing, could not recommend her enough! I'm pretty picky with my haircuts and since I moved to Seattle in May last year, I've tried ~8-9 different barbers in Cap Hill/Downtown Seattle. Emily was the first one to send me home with a haircut that both looks amazing on the first day you get it AND after its grown out. I've gotten a whole bunch of compliments about my hair since getting it cut by Emily, would recommend 11/10. read more

Moved to Seattle from FL and had a few cuts from other barbers/shops in the area. I immediately knew I found THE place after Mark cut my hair and have been going to him ever since. I've been going for about a year and can say that every barber in the shop is skilled so you'll look good no matter who takes care of you. The shop itself is clean, in a good area, and has plenty of street parking around. A must go-to spot for any guy looking for a cut above the rest! read more

I had an outstanding haircut from Yoshi. I will definitely be going back. It was so nice to get my pandemic grow-out so finely tamed.

Definitely the best barbershop in seattle! I highly recommend checking this place out!

I aware that I'm not The Scotch Pine's primary customer. However, what I like about the Scotch Pine, and my barber, Paul Culala, is something that anyone can relate too: 1.) He takes time to understand the hair on my head: the way it goes and the way it doesn't want to go. 2.) He pays attention to my needs and the goals I have for my hair. 3.) He does excellent fastidious work that goes beyond my expectations. An example of above-and-beyond was when Paul found my part. I never knew I had a part, and why I might like to part my hair in a particular way. Now, I do less work making my hair look good. About The Scotch Pine: The Scotch Pine realizes that there is an experiential side of barbering which has to do with connecting to people. Instead of over-decorating and obsessing about the minutia, they've created a space that maximizes this experience. I hope they never forget this. "Welcome back to the barbershop, it's good to see you again." read more

The Scotch Pine Barbershop - a 1-week old Paul Culala cut. - Barbers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Pro-Bros of hair calculus for appointments only. An enviroment so stylish, man to man coverage is necessary for the flurry furry head show. Fortunes were on my side as Blademaster Amanda optimize my cuteness with a fade with precision slices and wool-modifications. She tops it off with a swivel to the right and perfect strokes for increase depth of field. It was a classic tale of zero to hero, geek to chic, and rated ten to now eleven experience. Highly recommended for those with bleeding edge requests or for those who want classics done classic. read more

You know the kind of cut where strangers stop you on the street to tell you how good it is? That's the kind of cut you'll get at The Scotch Pine. These guys care about their craft, and they take their time to make sure you look your best. This is not the kind of spot where they are rushing you in and out in 30 minute slots. This was a good shop under old management, and it's a great shop with the new owners. Mark has been cutting my hair for years, and his work is exquisite. He's also a really nice guy, as are the other barbers in the shop. If you want a good cut from nice people who treat you well, go to The Scotch Pine. read more

I've been going to Mark for years. I don't live in the area anymore but I make special trips to get to the shop when I am in town because I trust Mark with my hair more than anyone else. The shop is a cool spot and it's just nice to be surrounded by good people when you're in there. read more

This location has reopened in Madison Park, and it has truly only gotten better. The quality of cuts is the best in Seattle (not even close), and leaves you feeling better than ever. These guys do not rush and take a full hour to perfect your cut all while jamming out to great music and entertaining conversation. The shop is clean, trendy, and chairs are high quality and comfortable. They even provide a hot steam towel after your cut. Hair cuts used to stress me out, specifically never knowing what I'm going to get. Ever since I've gone here, I always look forward to coming back. Best barbershop ever! read more

Been coming to Mark for my hair for a few years now and there's no one else around who I'd trust with my hair. On top of that him and the other guys are just some super chill dudes, coming in feels like hanging with some buddies who just so happen to give the best cuts in town. read more

Followed Mark Stuebe to his new location, and hope to stay with him as long as I can. I have worn a beard for over 50 years, and don't think it has ever been trimmed so well. Haircuts are terrific, too. Long live Scotch Pine! read more

Being in Seattle on business, I have only twice in my lifetime decided to let someone who I am not familiar with cut my hair. Such was the case as with my chance of selecting Scotch Pine which was near my hotel in the Queen Anne area. Based on previous positive reviews on yelp, I decided to stop by and get a trim. Upon entering, I learned that the shop is "By Appointment Only" however as it so happened Trent was in between clients. Well you know the saying - "one should never judge a book by its cover" So true as Kent would have been the last cutter that I would have chosen based on his appearance but being from the San Francisco Bay Area where diversity and openness is accepted I had no choice as he was the only one available and I was so glad he was the one to cut my hair. From the moment I sat in the chair he was on point. First thing he did was he washed his hands as I surmise that he probably had a smoke prior to seating me. Next, he got to know me as an individual as to how I wanted my hair cut. It helped that I knew what I wanted - 0 on the sides and 2 in the back. During the course of my cut, he accidently dropped his scissors on the floor and rather than pick them up and continue to use them, he placed them on the counter and got another pair. He also used a straight edge for a clean look around the ears and neck as well as trimming a rogue eyebrow hair or two.During the short time that I was with him, I learned that he had lived in San Francisco, Santa Cruz and Los Angeles but recently moved to the Emerald City with his wife and kids. I would definitely come back here but sadly, I learned that they will be moving at the end of the year to a new location on Capitol Hill due to the landlord changing the building. So so sad to hear that as I would come back again but perhaps I might make an extra effort to go to their new location and seek Kent out. read more

Great dudes. A bit niche, so if their style is your style, you'll love it. I suggest making an appointment. read more

Oh I think I found my fav barbershop and stylist! I really can't believe it, recommended by a friend I couldn't get in to see his guy but was able to get an appointment with JARED! Glad I did, he was amazing! I went in with a mess of hair and an untrimmed beard (4 months worth) and shaped and styled it like a pro! I CANNOT wait to go back and seek out JARED if in Seattle again! Definite YES on recommendation! read more

Highly recommend this place. I've been going to mark Stuebe for more than 2 years and haven't left to go to someone else ever since! Completely professional and the most down to earth guy you can ever come across. The haircut and service is always 10/10. And if you ever have any questions about maintaining your hair or anything hair related, he's got you. So stop messing around and get your butt over to scotch pine and get yourself looking sexy! read more

When I moved back to Seattle, I was in desperate need of a barber. Mark was referred to me and I haven't looked back since. These guys are fantastic! Professional and fun. They make great conversation that allows you to relax while providing the best haircut in town. Highly recommend! read more

Mark and the crew do an incredible job both in haircuts and running their business. I've been going here since before they were the owners and have stuck with them because they're awesome and talented. I'm super picky about my haircut and Mark nails it. 100% would recommend. read more

Stopped in on 4/27 around 5 pm without an appointment. Tent's last appointment was a no-show and he kindly agreed to take me without an appointment. I was flying out the next day to a company event overseas and needed a haircut and a beard trim. Trent was amazingly skilled with the tools of the trade and took his time making sure everything looked perfect. Cannot wait to go back in a few weeks for another trim. read more

Walking into the Scotch Pine is like entering your own living room, only hipper! Excellent music, free beer with every cut, Emily's welcoming smile and a view of the Space Needle... What more could you ask for??? As for the cut, Emily is a true pro. She knows how to take what you want and make it even better than you envisioned. Great experience all around! read more

I really gave this place a shot and benefit of the doubt with 3 separate times there. First cut was a little off and I came in to ask for a small correction. Amy treated the instance as a huge bother for her, but I thought maybe she was just having a bad day. However next time I returned she was just as unfriendly, that it almost seemed retaliatory. Bad customer service and mediocre cut to begin with.. not worth the upcharge for this place. read more

Yvey is THE BEST. I had been bouncing around to different stylists when I moved to Seattle, until I found Yvey. Five years later he's still the only one I'll let touch my hair. My husband, sister, and a few friends go to Yvey now too. He's so good at cuts and color. If you bring him a picture of what you're going for, he's able to match it to perfection. read more

Just cool place with great people to cut your hair. Easy to make appointments, good people and very reasonable prices. Lindsey cuts my hair. Simple cut and I keep it short. I am picky though and Lindsey does a great job of keeping me looking good. I do a lot of public speaking so it's important. I've been a customer for over a year. read more

I am a 59 yr. old man and live in the same block as this business. I like to support local businesses in my neighborhood, and needed a haircut. Your business seems to be thriving , always a good sign. I entered today just about 3:30p; there were 3 people and three barbers, not busy. I stood there, waiting...not interrupting the conversations; I waited patiently. Once acknowledged, she asked how she could help; I asked for a card to call later. The barber hardly acknowledged my request, continued her conversation, reached for her card and without even looking back, handed it to me. I don't know if she felt I was too old for your business, or the conversation with her co-workers is worth the loss of business. read more

Love my cut by Dave who made sure he took the time to understand what I was looking for then methodically went to work to give me a perfect cut. The vibe of the shop is welcoming. Will def return when I'm in town next. Ask for Dave. read more
