Ive gone here for about half a year now and I cannot imagine going anywhere else in the city. I travel from greenwood to Queen Anne to get my hair cut by Julio and Piotr and the commute is totally worth it. They are the most down to earth guys who enjoy a good conversation while giving a professional haircut. They are very knowledgeable and passionate about their craft and consider it an art. Both are trained with the straight razor which is a plus for a very precise cut. They are very reasonably priced at $30 for a haircut and $10 for a beard trim. I always remember to tip them handsomely for paying attention to every detail. Im glad to see their business is skyrocketing and excited for a third barber to be in the mix.

Unprofessional and unsanitary. I booked an appointment for 5:30 on a Sunday. When I arrived on time, Julio was still working on the guy before me. He didnt apologize for behind behind and didnt tell me how long it would be. 20 minutes later hes still cutting the guys hair. He didnt even acknowledge that I was waiting. No apology. No estimate. So I got up and left. Whats the point of making an appointment! This place is also really dirty. Apparently they dont bother to vacuum because there is hair everywhere, even far from the barber chairs. With so many barber shops in Seattle, Julio needs to get his act together.

Peter is great! I followed him here from Acme after he left following a management shakeup. They stopped taking appointments and I wanted someone who knows my hair. He struck out with his own shop and I happily followed to QA. Peter is friendly, a dog guy, usually has his gorgeous Ducati parked out front, and has great service. Very easy to book something with and nice to chat with in the chair. Most of all, this guy kicks ass at his job. Nobody else in Seattle has done nearly as good a job on my dome. Hes responsive to requests, quick, and you leave looking slick. $30 well spent.

I went in for a first time cut and got good service in a comfortable atmosphere, definitely worth the $30 for a mens cut. What will keep me going back is the next day, I decided I wanted to make a few changes to the cut after I got home. I scheduled another appointment and both Julio and Piotr welcomed me back and helped me get the cut I imagined. They even thanked me for coming back. The willingness to get it right no matter what makes it an easy 5 stars.

Excellent haircut and great atmosphere. Im a picky person, but Julio spent a lot of time getting the details just right, which I really appreciated. Not only is it very apparent that hes skilled at his craft, but hes also an incredibly friendly person and I enjoyed speaking with him. Ive gotten my haircut at countless different places and this is by far the best place Ive been to. Ill undoubtedly be coming back.

Im telling you, manliest barbershop Ive ever been to. Schedule an appointment on the website, come in, while you wait grab a beer from the fridge or have a shot of whiskey. Its men only, its classy and they give damn good haircuts. The hot shave with a straight razor on the back of the neck is unique and awesome to. 30 bucks for a hair cut, a beer, and a great conversation IMO is a great deal.

I came in for a walkin near the end of the day, they were kind enough to squeeze me right in. I had a cup of tea and waited (was also offered beer, which is a nice touch!) Haircut was fantastic - the owner took the time to do a really nice job and told me exactly what he was doing, even though it was at the end of the day. He definitely got a big tip and Ill be back!

Ive been going here for several months now. Great crew, great atmosphere. I dont even live in Seattle, but I go here to get a haircut if that means anything. Yes there are other barbers out there closer to you, but once you get a haircut here youll understand why its worth passing up all the other shops.

This place is awesome. I went there once and immediately decided this would be my regular place for cuts. Piotr really knows what hes doing, and hes great to talk to while hes cutting me up. Great guy. The shop is also cool and they have beer while you wait! Price is not bad for Seattle either.

Shawn Atkins

This place is great! Super chill atmosphere and a great cut! My son Ryler and I went in for a couple haircuts and left very happy. As soon a walked in, Julio greets us and offers me a beer. . Great haircut! Awesome experience to share with my son. Well be back for sure

Been coming to see Piotr from the beginning. Followed him here from another spot. Great cut. Fair prices. Cool atmosphere. Clean shop. They specialize in mens and shorter style cuts. Definitely recommended. You might even get to meet his dog.

Great atmosphere! I always go here to grab a great haircut. They always offer you a drink when you walk in and a seat! They are usually booked up so I dont suggest just wandering in. Call and set up an appointment. You wont be disappointed.

Get a cut here every other week. Peter did such a good job at ACME that I followed him here when he opened up his own shop. Laid back atmosphere but very professional and they wont let you walk out the door unless youre 100% satisfied.

Jeremy Leishman

Great independent barbershop. Owner is a straight shooting no frills down to earth stand up guy. Clean shop, professional staff, friendly service. Had my beard trimmed and shaved my head, pleasantly pleased with the outcome.

I got my haircut here once. The lady was super nice and friendly. I came in the middle of the day on a weekday and there was no wait. They take cash only but theres an ATM across the street.

Scott Sanbeg

Price is now $35 for a haircut. I realize the former reviews state this place and people are awesome, and they may very well be, but I asked about a haircut and not dinner and a movie.

Rodney Brickl

Great place for a cut and easy chat. Piotr is always willing to follow-up with a complimentary neck cleanup. Ive been going for months and dont plan to change any time soon.
