Basic Cut is a small barbershop located in the International District. It is co-located in a space shared with a gift and stationery shop, Zakka-Ya. If you are coming here on a Monday or Tuesday, you must knock on the door to access the barbershop as Zakka-Ya is not open on those days. This is because Basic Cut is located upstairs within Zakka-Ya. The barbershop prices are very affordable. I got a men's haircut here for $23 plus tip which is a good deal since I am used to paying $30+ plus tip for a haircut on the Eastside unless I am going to a Great Clips. Note this is a one-person barber so I would suggest coming on a slower day like Monday or Tuesday or scheduling an appointment ahead of time if you don't want to wait. Given the price and the quality of the cut that I received here, I would return to Basic Cut for a future haircut. read more
