My boyfriend just moved to the area and we are so happy to find Louai and the team here. Louai has been great with his skills and very attentive and accommodating when we schedule our appointments. Thank you so much Louai!
Great shop, solid guys, and fair prices. I originally came in to fix a fade that had been butchered by someone I was seeing, and Jose got everything cleaned up perfectly. I went back to him for my most recent cut and he did a great job. I’m pretty picky, and I have very straight blonde hair which can be harder to cut- Jose took his time, and got me exactly where I wanted to be. I’ll definitely be coming back and would absolutely recommend this shop.
Booked Louai based on the other reviews. The haircut and experience did not disappoint. I really needed a proper buzz cut fade after getting messed up by numerous barbers in Seattle, and he delivered. Would recommend.
I chose this location based on previous reviews. Yesterday was my 1st visit of many more to come. This place is FANTASTIC - seriously, the atmosphere when you walk in is warm and inviting. I want to give a HUGE SHOUT OUT TO ABEL!! It hasn't even been 24 hours since he did my hair, and I have had so many compliments already. He is an absolute BEAST with them clippers - The owner, Louia is sooooo personable and inviting from the moment I walked in as a walk-in. I've been to many other shops where this is not the case. It is so difficult to find a really good barber shop but the search ends here! Annnnndddd.... they don't price gouge like other shops. For anyone looking for a truly skilled and affordable place to get your hair cut - men OR women - please, give this shop a try .... you can thank me later =)
I went there to get a haircut for the first time and the services was great! Super fast and clean cut that looked great. I told Louai that I needed to look great for a date and he worked his magic. All I'm gonna say is that date went great and I highly recommend this place if you want an affordable haircut that looks great
