oh and my bad experience was at vain. fucking guy didn't listen to what i wanted and ended up cutting my hair WAY too short. oh and talk about over priced jesus christ.

And yeah, Rudy's I have not been at for years since the one really good guy who cut hair (Brian) left awhile back. The other "stylists" would be better off trimming hedges or trees.

If you are looking for a quality haircut on the Hill I would go to Zero-Zero, they are reasonable ($25ish). I especially like Desiree, but everyone there is great.

It's kinda dirty, what with Playboys and Popular Mechanics and such all over the place plus NASCAR on TV, but it's also charmingly unpretentious, affordable and Tim's a super nice guy.

This is a real Barber Shop, though. It's not for you if you want your hair washed, styled and gelled, 'cause Tim don't play that.

I guess this guy made an artistic decision and after he finished up he admitted that he did not cut my bangs short like i asked. Merely one month later, I needed another haircut. So I just cut my bangs myself.

It's not like I asked for a mullet.

I avoid Rudy's like the plague after a friend went to get a haircut advertised for $15 (approx), and then was charged $90+, then told that that was the correct price, then evil-eyed when he didn't tip.

that was 8 (?) years ago.

So I went to Zero Zero for a while and they were super nice but sadly the haircuts weren't.

I now go to Nucleus. It's right behind the Olive Way Starbucks on Summit Ave. They rock!

The best haircut in town is on Rainier Avenue, on the corner just north of the Safeway. A little barber shop owned by 3 Chinese women who speak broken Engrish, wear leather miniskirts, and only charge $10 for a damn good haircut. Recommended!

Zero Zero is consistently good.

but riddle me this- why are so-called hiphop barbershops the only place you can get a fade that doesn't make you look like billy blanks? why aren't white barbers required to learn how to do a decent fade? it's only been in style for 20 years.

what a crock of baloney, the 50.00 cut --- WOW ---- yes shearing sheep of their bucks

Hipsters are stupid with their money, absolutely brain dead retarded STUPID.

Seriously, guys, you're not losing that much getting it done at Great Clips, Supercuts or Hairmasters for $15-20. Spare the hipster joints that start at $30-50 your business. They probably don't need it ;P

Ok, if you're a once-every-4 to 6-weeks guy, you keep it trim and no one ever actually notices that you get a hair cut, sure, go somewhere cheaper if you want, save some dough; they're basically just cutting it back into an already-visible style. Sort of dumb, in fact, to go to a salon that often. Unless that's no problem to your paycheck, I guess.

Me, on the other hand, I go once every 6 months or something like that. I look like a Jesus Freak (with hat-head) at that point, so spending 50 bucks to get gondola'd through the whole deforestation process by the same someone that's happy to see me again is calming to me, as well as a wash to the above.

Now, getting your hair cut every every six months at Great Clips, now that's worthy of establishing an additional savings account for.

It's not a matter of location, it's a matter of the person you get there. That said, Paulette @ Rudy's in Belltown is great, although she's the only person I've met who's a little hot for Jeremy Piven. Make sure you tell her what's happening on Entourage b/c she's keeping via DVD.

Other notables, both on top of Queen Anne:
Chad at Oslo's ($20 - includes a wash),
The Bostonian ($10).

I've never been charged extra without being told first. This only happened two times.

What the hell do you guys do to have all these hilariously awful experiences there, anyway? Maybe if you told them "Fuck you, cut my hair right or ELSE!" then maybe I can understand the results you guys are reporting.

I think I would have seen someone freaking out at Rudy's over a bad cut after six years if the place didn't have a good reputation, but it hasn't happened yet. And the wait times continue to increase.

seems like zero zero gets the most recommendations, and lianas comes in second. im gonna go w zero zero. ill let you guys know how it goes.

thanks for all your suggestions! go slog!
