Great haircut and conversation. Old school barbershop feel. Authentic. Will make it my new regular haircut.

I like getting haircuts, and they do a good job. It's 21 bucks, so if you call this expensive, get over it, it's a clean shop, great guys, and you will walk away will less hair, which is EXACTLY what you want. They tend to have music playing to set the mood, a crappy cup of coffee is complementary, reading materials of all facets, and padded chairs. It's a dude place, simple, and they guys there are professionals, experts of the hair cutting needs. I have always had great experiences, just tell them what you want, and they will do it. read more

This place rocks on every level: Oldschool; clean but not glitzy. Cool little back office nook with space heater. Very nice staff, and efficiently skillful. Low key and amazing with my 8yo little guy. Gave him exactly what we wanted for a mere $21. Austin, our barber, was very sweet about me needing to run get cash (they're cash-only). My son said Austin even set him up with the "original Sonic!!" video game while he waited for me to get back. So glad to find our new barber right in our 'hood! read more

Bostonian Barber Shop - Barbers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

See all

Small barber shop with one barber, the owner. Good haircut for a fair price in an old school barber shop!

Showed up at 11:00am to get a cut here after a recommendation from a friend. Waited until 11:35, nobody showed up and there was no sign on the door. If you advertise that you're open 11-6, somebody needs to be there at 11. Myself and another gentlemen waited for more than 30 minutes and nobody showed. It really comes down to valuing our time as customers, and this felt pretty disrespectful. Can't speak to the haircut quality, I heard its pretty good, but hard to get a cut if nobody is there. read more

Awesome cuts! Awesome value! Awesome barbers! My regular pit stop twice a month!! Can't beat this gem on Queen Anne. Drop in, fresh'n up, pop out!! read more

These guys are great. Environment is really chill, nice local spot. I miss getting my haircut here and it will be the first place I go in June! read more

The absolute worst haircut I've gotten in my life. A blind dog could've given me a better haircut. How can this guy even have experience cutting hair when it turns out the way my hair did? He screwed up my hairline so bad that when I came back to ask for a refund he said "It's not like I was trying to take it out on you" Are you sure? Because my haircut looks like you did it out of vengeance. The whole process took about 5 minutes, I should've just walked out halfway through when he completely dismissed the cut that I actually wanted and started chopping off way too much hair. This barber shop shouldn't have a business license. You would get a much better haircut if you went to the elementary school down the street and gave them a pair of clippers. I'm honestly disgusted this place exists. I will have to push back work interviews because of the embarrassment. read more

Bostonian Barber Shop - Left hairline - Barbers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I've been coming here for years, and I'll keep coming back. It's a great place to get a no-fuss quality haircut at a reasonable price. Austin is a chill interesting guy, and sets up a totally laid-back atmosphere, unpretentious old-school vibe, and a neighborhood feel, where people hang out and chat waiting for their turn. Not fancy and not trying to be, just come in, get a cut, and leave looking great! read more

Agree with the other reviews. Solid barbershop. $10 for a buzz cut + $5 tip because I appreciate how meticulous they are about making sure you get a clean cut. I've been to other places where they leave stray hairs, and it still costs more than $15. The only thing keeping this place from 5 stars is inconsistent hours. Sometimes they'll open late or close early. Is that just the nature of a neighborhood barbershop? It was tolerable when I lived in Queen Anne, but it's kind of annoying now. So now I either call before I go, or I grab some coffee and the Saturday paper and head over around noon. Sure, I'll probably wait a little while, but at least I'm reasonably sure they'll be open. read more

Austin is great. Nice cheap place to get a hair cut. Good conversations, good vibes. Austin always listens to what I want and adjusts the cuts accordingly. It's a men's barbershop, not a salon so if you are looking for someplace fancy this is not it. read more

Classic barber shop, good price, great cut! They have coffee for guests and engage in friendly conversation about whatever is going on in the news that day. Definitely recommend checking them out. read more

They did a great job, and were not trying to be anything fancy, and the price was great too. The shop has an old fashion feel to it, and fits perfectly into Queen Anne. I will be coming back. read more

I gave them the three haircut try. I had one great haircut and two mediocre cuts. Not good given the fact that they charge so much. I tried two different barbers. I had high hopes for them given the look and feel of the shop as well as the price point. I was totally willing to pay the price if they offered something more than Supercuts can give around the corner. They didn't deliver and I'll probably go back to Supercuts and save $. I'm disappointed. read more

The cut is phenominal and a good value. No fluff here, just solid cut and a "guys barbershop" atmosphere. Rene and austin are both top notch barbers and good guys. Its everything a barbershop should be and no bs. Ever see the barber shop scene from gran torino....thats the bostonian http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQVUVVecZ_A&feature=youtube_gdata_player read more

I've been going here for years and always get a dependable cut at a reasonable price. Yes, sometimes they aren't there at the hours posted and sometimes you have to wait a while because they don't take reservations but it's a much better experience than the student barber gamble at "The Shop". Unfortunately, they are still closed due to the pandemic but hopefully they will be back soon. read more

Charming, authentic and I got a great haircut/beard trim. Also, really affordably priced. My new favorite barbershop.

Recently I came to the realization that I needed to seek out a local barber to start buzzing my hair. Salon's have lost their shine over the years, especially when you're paying $25 for a 15-minute buzz. Well, I'm happy I started looking around, because I found the Bostonian and won't be going anywhere else soon. Good vibes from this place. Highly recommended. read more

I love this place. Forget fancy salons... all you need is a good ol' regular BARBER to clean ya up. No frills, good conversation and plenty of magazines if you need to catch up on recent events. I think two guys usually run the place, and sometimes they can get a little backed up, but it's definately worth the wait. Take a quick stroll if you don't want to sit. About $13 a cut... now if i can just talk them into adding a shave and dropping the price to 6 bits! read more

Didn't get my hair cut here, but herein lies the issue. I called them to ask for wait time. I was told 20 min. I was at Safeway next door, in my car. So I walked in about a minute after I called. 3 people ahead of me and only 1 barber - the same one who answered the phone. I asked him how he equated 3 people to be 20 min, and he said maybe it would be 30 min. So you're either a liar or going to give 10 min haircuts - neither is good. read more

C'mon guys! There is one day a week where my schedule meshes with theirs so I can get a haircut and they decided to be closed on that day too. Yes, I will be going back because they're convenient, cheap, and know how to cut my hair but this is the third time in as many months that I've gone there and they've been closed when normally they're supposed to be open. My advice: call before you go to make sure they're open read more

The owner, Renee, is the barber and delivers everything you want from a classic barbershop experience. I am a #2 all over and I can honestly say this is the best buzz I have had for a mere $10! read more

These guys do the quickest and best quality haircuts in town, at a great price too.

Awesome deal on a cut. Exactly what I wanted and the barber was extremely nice. Will go back all the time.

I've been coming here since I was a kid and I've always had great experiences here. They guys are friendly and give great haircuts. The prices are lower than other places especially considering the location on top of Queen Anne. They play good music too and are efficient at keeping the wait time down, if there is a wait at all. One time I wasn't happy with my haircut so I came back the next day and they fixed it for free and were very nice about. read more

could tell he was trying to find a new blade and couldn't, dude shaved my neck w an old razor w no shaving cream, sprayed disinfectant on the razor, happened quick shoulda said hell na!...fucked me up w/ a big ol nasty rash on my neck. Place is gross! read more

Stopped in to get my haircut and absolutely loved this place. The barber was good, fast, and really fun to talk with. For me the hall mark of a great barber is one who can take my super amorphous instructions and somehow give me exactly the hair cut I wanted. Rene (sp?) is that kind of barber. If you're looking for a great barbershop this is the place to go! Barbershop is walk-in only; full haircuts were $19 when I went (buzzes were cheaper). read more

I use to live less than 2 blocks from here and this is where I would always go to get my haircut. The barbers are great guys and give great haircuts at a great price. read more

I went to the Bostonian for a cut after having my hair done by the same person for nearly 16 years. It was nerve wracking for sure but Austin made me feel at home and offered up great casual conversation to ease my experience. He ended up giving me a great cut that was one of the quickest I've ever had. Overall a great experience and I loved the old-school barber shop vibe. read more

Relatively poor hair cut. Prices are par with competition but quality is not there. Interiors are pretty low profile and worn. Staff is talkative. Location is convenient. Traditional barbershop and don't seem to have a full setup to handle more than a haircut (ie hair wash). Likely won't come back. Also make sure to have cash, as they don't accept cards. read more

The staff was really nice and quick in doing their job. It's just a bit pricey compared to my hometown barbershop, but for Queen Anne kind of expected. They also give you a nice hair wash if you want. My new spot to get a haircut in sattle. read more

Austin is great!! Welcomed me in, very personable, and I walked out with a great no frills haircut. He is cash only so remember that before you walk in, but well worth stopping at an ATM prior. Great vibe with the original fixtures and well-needed traditional and small town feel. Tradition seems non-existent nowadays so thanks Austin for keeping the Barber Shop alive and well!!! read more

A great haircut at a great price. Ranee is a pro, and is able to knock-out a haircut quickly w/o sacrificing quality.

I've been a regular for over a year and have been satisfied with every cut. The barber Austin is great to talk with and tries hard to give you what you want. An excellent shop overall. read more

It would be really nice if the social club outside where you smoke and disturb the residents could not take place. Not only is it against the rules where you work, rent and exist and it affect the people that reside nearby and potential he support your business. It's obnoxious. As a businessman myself, I conduct myself professionally and would suggest the same. read more

Austin cuts my son's hair and we've been pleased every time.

If you like a clean cut, Austin will cut your hair near perfection. I've been to quite a few places around seattle and Austin is the best cut I've had. Great place, great atmosphere and now I'm bringing my son there who loves it. Highly recommend if you're looking for a clean cut. If you're a girl looking for a perm, maybe not so much. read more

I have been going to this place for nearly 4 years. Bottom line is this: Rene and Austin know what they're doing. The prices cannot be beat. There is always coffee brewing and laughs to be had. It has the feel of an old-time barber shop. This is the only place I have gotten a haircut since I came to Seattle and that will not be changing. read more

I moved to Seattle last year and found a good barber. Unfortunately she moved and I was left to search out a new place. I found Bostonian right up the street and Austin did a bang up job. I have found my new barber! read more

Cool old school barbershop. Only one guy in the shop when I walked in and he was pretty nice. Had a good conversation. Haircut was sub-par. I asked for an undercut and to take off an inch on the top. Left a chunk of stragglers near my crown that was sticking straight up. Had to ask a friend to clean it up. For the top, literally snipped his scissors 10 times and called it good, justifying a styled cut. Didn't offer a wash before or after the cut either. Not worth a base of $21. I was actually shocked when he said $21 because I read that they were $19 for styled cuts and cheaper for buzz-cuts. Doesn't seem like there are any set standards. read more
