This one's a relatively review so I'll get right to the review. I came here on a Saturday afternoon and got a haircut from Coco, one of the barbers there. I wasn't too sure exactly what to get but I told her about what I was looking for in a haircut and she helped me figure out exactly what kind of cut I wanted! During the haircut, I chatted with all the staff, who were quite friendly, but also seemed to respect others who weren't so keen on striking up a conversation. In the end, I really liked how my haircut turned out as well so well done on that front! I think my only reservation was the cost, as the haircut costed $30 in total, which was quite a lot for me, perhaps since I'm used to suburban prices, whereas Belltown Barber is in the heart of Seattle. Overall, it turned out really nice and I will probably return here in a month or so to get my hair cut again. read more

I'd give 1000 stars if I could. Coco is an incredibly talented and kind individual. I was able to schedule with her very quickly. I had my appointment today at 1 pm, and she was the only stylist the shop today. She was booked back to back and incredibly busy, but still managed to treat each client with an incredible amount of care. I reached out to her to help me fix a horrible haircut I received on Friday (From the Aveda school in cap hill). Because my issue could not be solved within the hour she had set out for me, she continued to help me and work through the disaster that was my hair for a couple of hours in between other clients. She didn't have to do that. She could have very easily asked for me to come back another time but she treated me with a overwhelming amount of patience, kindness, and care. I have never been happier with a haircut. I didn't know what would look good on my hair and she somehow managed to help me figure that out. She even let me know that I'd be able to walk in at any point during the next few weeks if I felt that I wanted some changes. She's the best and I will definitely come back again when I need another haircut. read more

Dave has been cutting my hair for over 10 years. I found him through a friend that lived in the apartments above at one time. Working downtown it's very convenient to walk over to his shop and get a cut. You can call ahead of time and make an appointment, or simply walk-in and wait in line. It still to this day surprises me how much Dave remembers from conversations with each of his customers. He will ask about stuff we discussed months prior. This really is the lost art of a personable, and easy going town barber. I hope he never retires! TIP: It's always good to call ahead. Dave sometimes takes off early or maybe out sick. However he's always very good about recording the message on his voicemail to let you know he's not there currently. He is open normal barber shop hours, so closed on Sunday and Monday. Typical open hours I've seen are 10AM - 5PM. read more

Belltown Barber - Barbers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Today I went in for a haircut, got in on time and had to wait 6 mins. We did a shampoo and a cut, and I was unsure of what I wanted and asked for a minimalistic haircut. When the cut was complete it felt like my hair hadn't been cut much, and I looked at the time after, the cut couldn't have been more than 10 mins. I called to schedule a change to the haircut later in the day as they have a 7 day corrections policy (this is a $50 haircut after all) and I asked for a completely different style. Midway through cutting my hair my hair stylist informed me it had to be rung up as a second haircut. In total I paid $110 for a haircut(before tip), and while I look great, my wallet hurts. This was more my fault, as I was unsure of what I wanted on the first trip. read more

Dave is awesome! I've been seeing him exclusively for the 5 years I've been in Seattle. No frills men's cuts at a reasonable price. Barbers like Dave are getting harder and harder to find these days. read more

Dave has been cutting my hair for the past 20+ years. Definitely a barber with soul. I would recommend both the person and his work.

Go for the small, independent shop! Great haircut, strong attention to detail, very nice and personable - much better than the chains. 10/10, would recommend. read more

Since I moved here, Coco has become my stylist/barber at Belltown. She is quite friendly and herself a transplant to the area. She listens to what the customer wants and for a great price. Most other barbers nowadays are 40+ for a simple haircut, whereas they are a mere $25. It also doesn't hurt this is quick jaunt from my place and will definitely be the spot to chop off my locks read more

Very good barber in Belltown that charges a reasonable price for a good haircut. I went recently during the pandemic and a haircut was 25$ (other places in downtown Seattle were far more expensive and this shop does take credit cards). The haircut was good, shop was clean, barber was friendly and he wore a mask and there was hand sanitizer for customers and I was able to make an appointment with little waiting time. I give this shop 4 1/2 stars and is a good place for a haircut if you are in downtown Seattle. read more

Support your local independent barber shop! I've done the trendy chain shops, and have found them to be more concerned with their image than their clients. Coco is awesome. She is so accommodating, experienced and a joy to visit. Highly recommend. She loves your doggos too! read more

I was getting a haircut and another person walked in. My barber recognized the person as a regular for Dave and started chatting him up. She said that she didn't have time but might be able to do his haircut after mine. She literally finished my haircut in 10 mins. It was so messed up in the back, I had to get another haircut the next day. read more

Sadly I have to warn people I got a totally unprofessional, awful haircut here that I thankfully wasn't charged for. Had to have it fixed. I would not recommend this barber. read more

The Belltown Barber has two Stylists, Dave, The owner, who has been in Belltown 30 years and CoCo, a stylist of 15 years. Coco does women, children and men, also offers color services, best to contact her for more information. She works Thursdays-Mondays and her hours are flexible, she will stay as late needed. Dave works Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays 10-5. read more

I went here for the first time Friday. I don't have to look at me, so I tend to get pretty shaggy before it bugs me enough to get a haircut. Dave did an excellent job. When I got home, the SO said she really liked my haircut. She said, 'Go back to that guy! Make him your regular barber!' I'll take her advice. read more

What a great place to stop by for a trim when you are in town on business. Dave runs a traditional barber shop and takes great pride in his work. I stopped by to get a hair cut as I wanted to look great for a presentation I was doing later in the week. read more

Dave has been cutting my hair since early 2008, and it's fantastic every time. After each haircut I'm guaranteed at least three to four compliments a day for the next week. I highly recommend Dave for the, welcoming feeling of his shop, and cleanliness. As well as Dave's quality haircuts. read more

Great place to get your haircut, fair prices never a long wait and good people. Found my new barber.

Dave is a very friendly guy nice shop clean, quick turn around in out will come back again. Thanks read more

"Barber" : Coco Worst haircut... No technique... cuts in chunks... Doesn't follow directions. DONT GO HERE! read more

I really appreciate the wonderful haircut I received from Dave last Saturday. The wonderful environment of a shop, and great conversation, are always a highlight of each month for me read more

5 stars for miss coco, hair colorist and conversationalist extraordinaire. she is professional, down-to-earth and knowledgeable on all things hair. she educated me on what she was doing with my hair each step of the way. i enjoy my hair very much and she charges a reasonable price for the value/service she provided! this sounds silly, but i am very much looking forward to needing color/cut so coco can make my hair pretty again. read more

David has had his shop for twenty plus years. He's in a great location. And gives a great barber cut. Very friendly fellow, I'll definitely be back. read more

Great haircuts at a great price. This is one of the last remaining places to get a classic haircut.

Dave gives a great cut and we always have a great conversation. Awesome location if you are downtown and a great price!

Wanted to charge me $20 for a 10 min buzz cut with no rinse or attempt to remove any of the hair left on my head after the cut. The cushion for the seats in the waiting area were totally worn out so the metal bars under them press into your legs. The environment was dirty and cluttered. read more

This is an awesome barbershop for men. Clean professional cut and the barber is a cool guy! I got my first haircut there today after a friend recommended it, and I'm happy about how it turned out. Will send more friends to Belltown Barber soon! Also, $19 is definitely cheaper than Rudy's or the other barbershops in this area. read more

Dave is there Tuesday through Saturday, and always friendly. Catering mostly to men, this is a quick and reliable place for good haircuts. If you're looking for anything more - wash, coloring, manicure, whatever - you're probably looking for a salon. This is just a barber shop - but a great one! He can get busy (MANY regulars), so I recommend calling ahead to make an appointment on weekdays. Saturdays are first-come-first-served. While you're waiting, grab a coffee next door or sit and chat with everyone else who discovered this hidden treasure of Seattle. read more

Surprising nobody else has reviewed such a good place. The owner is really good, paid attention to the details, and gave a really cut. Being new to the town, i was apprehensive, but I am glad I went ahead with this place. I guess the down thing is it aint open on Sunday and inaccessible on weekdays. All I saw were regulars, i ll be one too.... :) read more

This place is not a full salon, so don't go in there expecting it to be. It's pretty small, but cozy, and the people there make you feel at home. When I was there it was the owner and a gal who had been working there for quite some time, I can't remember their names but they were both very nice. She spent a decent amount of time making sure it was striaght....but thats pretty much the only thing I expect out of my haircuts honestly. I guess most of the people who come here are regulars, not people just walking by and dropping in. I've only been there once, but since I live closeby I will definately be stopping by this place for my regular cut. read more

Damn good barber! I just moved to Seattle and I hate finding a good barber. Dave definitely does a great job and he's reasonably priced. Can't ask for more than that, can you? read more

I live close to Rudy's, but I've been looking for a better place for a while. Finally found it today. Dave is a great guy, and he's been running this business for 20 years. He's had regular customers for so long that now he's cutting some of their grandkids' hair. A men's haircut is $20, and he has a tablet with Square for credit cards. I'll be going back for as long as I live here. read more

So close to home, relatively inexpensive and an experienced barber. I would definitely get my regular haircuts there (I always get a flat top and that takes a little expertise)! read more

When I moved to the Belltown area in Seattle from New York City, I had spend about 3 months in and out of barber shops looking for the right one. I visited them all, from the small businesses to the chains like Rudy and Great Clips. I came into Belltown Barber in June and haven't gone anywhere since. It's a one barber/one-chair operation and it's awesome. Not only is dave experienced and skilled, he's extremely friendly and personable. It's nice to be able to sit down and pick up the conversation where it left off from the previous haircut. The price for a standard male haircut is $19, which is cheaper than other small businesses as well as Rudy's, and maybe a couple dollars more expensive than Great Clips. But I think having a consistent barber who is great at his job and treats each customers as a friend is worth the extra 2 bucks. read more

Dave has been my barber since 2011 when I moved to Seattle and discovered his place of business on a walk near my apartment. Dave has a terrific general knowledge of current events and politics - this in addition to being an excellent barber who remembers exactly how I want my hair cut. I give Dave a five star rating for great service at a reasonable price. read more

I've been a customer of Dave's for at least 25 years, from before he had his own shop and I have been very happy with his cuts and his conversation. Since I retired I still come downtown for his haircuts. I recommend him highly. read more

Dave is a real barber. That means he cuts your hair the way you want it. It also means it's good for six weeks. No aroma therapy or tatoo-piercing posers. It's a place where men get their hair cut. Thanks Dave. read more

Went there because this place has 4.5 stars.... Now I have to find another barber to fix these 4.5 stars haircut :( Really upset

This is not just a place for men - Coco is amazing and can do men's or women's cuts. She is very friendly and professional and knows what she is doing - I have had her cut and color my hair on multiple occasions and have always walked away feeling great about my hair. If you know what you want she is great at doing that, but if you are indecisive like me she has the experience to make suggestions that will work for you. Can't say enough good things about her! read more

Dave Markovich is one fine barber in what can be described as a comfortable old-style "regular" BARBER SHOP . There is even a barber pole out front. Even though he is on 2nd Ave (2219- between Bell & Blanchard) I always find a parking spot mid-day. Dave gives great custom cut, guys are real comfortable there and his price is at or below the chain fast-cuts. read more

Dave has cut my hair probably a dozen times. He's really nice, skilled, and friendly. Haircut is around $20 which is fair enough for me.
