Teen wanted a new look, Tim helped him take his hair from mid back length to a nice short style. Looks fantastic, the experience was wonderful! Will definitively come back! read more

Best in the game. Chill,classic barber vibes. Highly recommend. Jason takes pride in his craft.

Great cut. Great conversation. Worth the money. I had a cut from Evis. It was fantastic and I would certainly recommend this place. read more

If there was a sixth star to pick, I would. Just had my first appt and am blown away on every level. Roy was an absolute pro and tackled both haircut and beard trim like a wizard of barbering. Every aspect was dialed. Also super kind, courteous, and respectful - literally no notes. The attention to detail was also over the top. And if you have a beard, your an idiot to go anywhere else. A paramount characteristic of a great barber is walking out the door and already thinking about your return trip in a positive light; will absolutely be back. I fully get that other reviews might have low stars - and everyone (customer or business) can have an off day - but i definitely saw the standard this shop maintains and it's top notch. read more

ZERO. I received a cancellation after coming here over 5 years; my cancellation notice was that the barber decided to leave early about 3.5 hours prior to my appointment; if we as customers have to abide by a 24 hour cancellation notice or be charged. How is it okay to cancel on an appointment which such short notice. I messaged the owners cell phone and didn't even get a response; Customer NOT first shop. I will be sharing my experience with all my other friends and colleagues that get a cut there so they don't return. I will never return as this non haircut came at the worst timing before a National Convention and no accommodation for me as a customer. I thought the customer came first? Tim? Rob? Unethical. read more

My son received a haircut from Elvis. Amazing! My son is a teen and very anxious about haircuts. I finally talked him in to it. We are so pleased with Elvis' ability, style, and confidence. The vibe of the place was great, too. Deco was nice and easy. The background music...thumbs up. read more

Buzzerd's Barber Shop - What a good haircut looks like. - Barbers Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Have seen the same lady for years and she just is not consistent anymore. Came in here via a recommendation from a close friend to see Elvis. Very personable attention given to me, my hair and my beard. A very casual environment with a great vibe. All the barbers where friendly and talkative. The proof was in the reaction when I got home and the response of "I need his number to call him and thank him"!! Pamper/Treat yourself and go see these guys! If Elvis is in the building tell him Shayne sent you! read more

Had been going to long time barber in Seattle for years, but he's always booked and don't work in Seattle anymore. So I've been going to Elvis last few months with my son. He did a good job, so I thought I my at have found my new barber. But here's why I giving a 2 star review. Booked appointment online a week ahead. A few days before the appointment, I received notification that the appointment was cancelled. Would have been nice to get a call, but brush it off since I was able to book again for next day. But again, 3 hrs before the appointment, I get a cancellation notice. So 2 cancellations in a row with no communication outside of an automated text. In 5 years of seeing my Seattle barber, he cancelled an appointment only once. And when he did, he gave me a call and work out a reschedule. Now worth my time to drive an hr to my barber in Seattle. read more

Tim cuts my hair. I show him a picture of what I want and even with "his interpretation" of the pic, he nails it. I've been to him twice, with 2 different versions of what I want and he's given me both. I highly recommend his service. I'll continue to go to him. read more

Joe does a great job at haircuts and beard trims. However, due to the new requirement to enter your credit card to book the appointment I will not be visiting Buzzards again. It is too bad as I liked the place and Joe is great at what he does. Some people still pay in cash. Thanks John Ameil read more

Just moved back to Tacoma after spending a few years in Seattle. Had a handful of haircuts from Rob and will continue to go to him! Prices are reasonable--few bucks cheaper than what I was paying in Seattle, and the online booking system is a breeze. During COVID they have done a great job creating a safe, yet welcoming environment with masks worn, temperature checks, and regular sanitization of barber stations. These guys are doing it right, check them out! read more

Elvis is legit the best! Master of his craft - highly recommend if you're looking for a solid barber in the area

Been to a lot of high quality barbershops in my adult life. By virtue of moving quite a bit over the years (active duty military - also requiring frequent cuts) I've been to a lot of barbershops, in general, and learned the hard way that a haircut isn't something to leave up to chance. There's nothing more satisfying than finding that spot that you can trust to take care of you consistently. Full disclosure, Buzzerd's was the first and only shop I've been to in Tacoma, but I have no interest in trying out the others because of that consistent quality aforementioned. You're greeted by a host of welcoming barbers who make your first time in the door feel like your 30th. I've been to Elvis three times now and his attention to detail is unparalleled. He gives a shit and it shows from the moment you sit down in his chair. I'm typically risk averse when it comes to what I ask for from a barber because of some tricky cowlicks and some thinning up front. I don't have that same reluctance anymore. The best way to describe it is that Elvis cuts my hair like I would cut my own hair. Trust Buzzerd's. read more

Wonderful first experience here today with Mr. Elvis Hopper, who worked wonders in the allotted 45 min client slot on what, admittedly, was a rough job. My hair was a jumble of long curls and I needed those gone for an upcoming trip to visit my sister in Vegas. Mr. Velazquez seems to have a knack of hiring the best, as each of his barbers I interacted with was friendly and focused on the work at hand. A fantastic barbershop with great staff who are easy to talk to in a very relaxed environment. read more

The best barbershop, bar none, that I have ever been to. The atmosphere, the service is the best. Rob did not rush my hair cut or beard trim even though it was busy. I read prior reviews about the sign in boards. Pick a barber and put your name next. Fairly simple to understand and do. If going on a Saturday, get there early. The board fills in fast. I will return here again. read more

I usually find myself only posting bad reviews for haircuts after walking out really pissed off. Not the case here. I'm sure they're all great but I chose David because he was available for my first time in and he crushed it. Very talented, meticulous, and keen attention to detail. Thanks dude. read more

First time visitor and called on a Tuesday to check for a Wednesday appt. (Wed. and Thur. are by appt. only). Tim answered the phone and I scheduled a haircut and beard trim for the following morning. First impression of the shop was very professional yet hip and comfortable. Tim greeted and seated me and asked what I was looking for in my hair and beard. He gave me some advice on my hair and away he went. While cutting, Tim was very friendly and we quickly learned we had former jobs in common and had a great conversation. Entire process for haircut and beard trim took approximately 45 minutes that included a wet towel and razor cut on beard and hairline. Tim was meticulous with both my hair and beard and I couldn't be happier with the cut and service I got. Reading the many reviews everyone seems to have their favorite which is great since you can't go wrong with any of the barbers. That being said, i'm loyal to Tim now and will be returning. Thanks Tim for a great cut. read more

Awesome barbershop never a bad experience!! Always a good cut, and the barbers take their time. No one rushes you out the door

I've been to Buzzerd's five or six times now and I've been meaning to write a review since the first visit. This place is fantastic; it's not a salon, it's a proper barbershop with personality. The music is always good, the place smells great, and the barbers are pros and good for a conversation. Juan does an excellent job every time. Highly recommended. For $30 I get a haircut and beard trim, plus they finish up the edges with a hot towel and straight-razor shave. Every time I've come out of there looking and feeling great. As long as I live reasonably close to Tacoma, I won't go anywhere else for a haircut. It does get quite busy. I've had to wait up to an hour, though it averages around 30 minutes. It's absolutely worth it. Also note that the parking situation sucks. You can usually find street parking right around the corner on Fawcett, especially earlier in the day. Still worth it. read more

Great barbershop! My son was cutting his hair and was extremely particular because he was going from long hair to short hair. Jason did an awesome job, exactly what my son wanted. He was patient, thorough, and friendly. When I told my brother about this place, he laughed and said if we would have asked him for a recommendation, he would have told us to go to Buzzerd's too and that he has also seen Jason a number of times. I highly recommend Buzzerd's. read more

This is THE place to go in Tacoma. Been following Rob through 3 different shops and now he has his own place. Now I switch between Rob and Chris but anyone standing behind a chair is worth your trust and confidence. You have to be ready to wait a little as its all as a "walk in" basis, except for Thursday's when they are booked out for weeks. But the wait never seems to be that long. Regardless how daunting it may appear. Swing by. You will be pleased! read more

Went there once before I moved in, it was good, so I went back yesterday and one side looks okay, but the other just seems off read more

There is absolutely no question that the individuals in this shop are seasoned connoisseurs. I go specifically for Derrick, and I have never left his chair feeling a penny less than a million bucks. His attention to detail deserves awards. His shaping skills are incredible, and all of his recommendations for conditioners and oils have worked wonders. If you are looking for a place to get your beard trimmed and shaped, this is the only place you need to consider. All of the guys are personable and interesting, all dudes you'd want to have a beer with, but Derrick is the best in my book, a true pro. If you want the best of the best, this is the place to go. One thing to note is if you want to get in the chair quick, you better be there early, because the rest of Tacoma lines up pretty fast to get in on the action. I went on a Saturday, and there were 10 people already in line before they even opened at 9am. The atmosphere is great, the people are epic, the prices are incredibly reasonable, and the quality of work can't be matched. I'd give them more stars if I could, they mind as well be the only shop in Tacoma. read more

Buzzerd's Barber Shop - This man right here is a damn beard whisperer. Ask for Derrick, you won't be dissapointed! - Barbers Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Wow, just wow. Elvis killed it. My hair style is a fade on sides and a blended combover on top (probably doing a terrible job describing my hair). His attention to detail is top notch. Seems like a great guy to boot. The shop's COVID protocols leave you feeling safe and relaxed. 10/10 would recommend and will be going back. read more

This is a barbershop that a few years ago I would have said i wished was back home. The service here is always a little slower, but that is to be expected with a full service barber. Like I said I would have wished to have this barber shop back home. I travel to the Tacoma area every ear for a couple weeks, and have been doing so for the past several years. Every since my first visit I have always went to Buzzards to get a hair cut and I have always felt welcomed. This timed seemed different. There were several regulars in the shop, which I could tell because all of the barbers knew their names. Obviously no one knew me since I show up once a year for a haircut. The regulars seem to get better service and a longer haircut leading to a better quality product. I felt like my haircut was rushed, the barber did not attempt to upscale me or offer me any product. Just cut and go. On top of that, he failed to blend a spot properly and now I am stuck styling my hair differently than I like. If your a regular, I say continue to go. You'll clearly get what you're looking for. If you're new, maybe riding out a few bad cuts will be worth it once you show them your loyalty. read more

found elvis on their instagram . i saw lots of good reviews by him & my husband made an appt w him. he did an amazing job on his hair! super clean fade! easy to book an appt with him online ! he only works tues-friday i believe but def worth the $ & time !! read more

Robert V. Has created a marvelously wonderful barbershop experience! He's hired the best guys to sculpt the finest Dews. Any one of the Barbers there will be the best for you! I've been going here for two years now - my Nephew told me about them. Walk-ins every day, except Thursday's by appointment. Closed Sundays and Mondays read more

Great job and good experience barber Elvis, will go back

Buzzerd's continues to set the standard for the highest quality cuts and customer service in Tacoma! The whole crew are subject matter experts and damn fine human beings! They make their clients' safety and satisfaction a priority, ensuring that all feel welcome and taken care of. This shop continues to evolve in order to set the standard for other barbers to follow. Rob runs the place expertly, and is a grounded local businessman, who really knows and loves Grit City. Been a loyal customer for nearly 3 years, and the experience never ceases to impress! Thanks fellas! read more

Terrible service Tim doesn't know what he's doing what so ever if you wanna pay 40$ for a haircut you didn't ask for this would be the place to go to I'd suggest going to clean cut boys they'll actually listen an do what hairstyle you want read more

If someone is new to a place it means they don't know the rules as to what to do. My husband went for a hair cut here because it has great reviews; however, when my husband arrived no one told him he had to write his name on the board. He sat there for 40 minutes and no one told him anything and when he went to ask one of the guy's if it's going to be longer he tells him that they just took their last walk in and that he was supposed to write his name on the board. My husband let the guy know that no one had given him that information when first greeted and the guy just stood there saying nothing. Good bye. read more

Great place honestly! The dude that cut my hair was on point . They take their time with you. Its probably to pricey for me thou, i cant be going back every 2 weeks. Parking sucks ass your on the curb side and to top it off i got a ticket because my tires weren't turn to the curb ... On a good note i would recommend this spot read more

Buzzerd's Barber Shop - Juan killed it - Barbers Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

I was 10 minutes late to my first appointment with Tim, but he was cool with it and sat me right down and got to work. My previous haircuts had been done by guys who primarily buzz you with a broad variety of clippers. Tim is an old school gentleman barber and that works for this old dude. I admit there is not too much hair on top, and previous barber shops have left me looking like a skint mule. Not today. With a combination of clippers, scissors, a straight razor along with a hot towel finish and neck shave, I feel like a new man; I smell sweeter and look a little prettier! I will be back. read more

Cool shop, friendly staff. I brought my two boys here for their first real barber shop haircut and Jason was so awesome. Thanks for everything! read more

5 Star haircuts. Good environment, great barbers, good convo. Juan was excellent I highly recommend him. He was able to help me through my "long hair stage" and gave me tips on what to do and recommendations on styles that work for my hairstyle. read more

Being a new resident here I was checking out all the local barbershops in the area and I came across this location. It's very hard for me to trust anyone with my hair and this place has great barbers. I've been here 4 times now and I've been getting my hair cuts from Jason. He's done an awesome job every time. I love that you can book appointments online which makes it very convenient for me. The staff is friendly and always make you feel welcome. read more

Top notch Barber Shop! After recently moving here, I was hesitant with any new barber. I looked a few places in the area, and after reading the review here, decided to give it a chance. I walked in, was greeted, and wrote my name on the board for Rob, just because his name happened to be the first on the white board for walk in day. He cut my hair with precision. Honestly it was one of the best cuts I have had in years, and he even asked questions about what exactly I wanted my hair to do naturally without any product, and how I styled it when I did. This information gave him what he needed to better layer it, and the final product was wonderful!! From what I have read about other peoples' experience, it appears that you cannot go wrong no matter which barber you choose! They offer the full suite! I highly recommend to anyone who wants a hair cut that will look good, and stay that way too! All of the barbers were actually genuinely educated and cared about what you want. A top notch barber shop without a doubt! Cheers! read more

They did a great job. I was visiting the area and, on a whim, they were able to schedule me pretty quickly. The barber also recommended one of their wax/pomade which is really quality stuff. If you're near one of their shops, check them out! read more

Well these guys must be so good that they don't need any new customers. Tried to walk in Saturday morning and was turned away. This is not the place for a guy to get a spontaneous haircut if you want one read more
