This is the kind of barber you want. The atmosphere is positive and personal. It's a mixture of someone who has honed in on their craft, and really knows people. If you're looking for a premium cut at a price that matches most barbers, this is your spot. The problem with most barbers or chain haircut joints is that they aren't personalized. Each barber is forced to take on so many customers that they are worn out or distracted when they get to you. Here, you can feel the attention and focus being given to you. Make no mistake, if you don't really care about how you look, if you don't mind having little details about your cut being incorrect, then this isn't your place. This is for precision. This is the guy that gets you looking better than the person next to you. I primarily get sharp skin fades with tight lineups and a hard part- this is as clean as it gets folks. You can tell when a single hair is off. Sometimes you'll go to a barber and then a day or two later notice a few stray hairs. Never happened here. One of the best parts about this place is that you're involved in the process. You aren't surprised at the end and then feel too awkward to say anything. You see the progress and are encouraged to be vocal about it. You're obviously not a professional barber, so one of the hardest parts about getting a cut is understanding what's happening or how the barber is interpreting your requests in their mind. Here, it is very open and discussed freely. It's a small venue, so you don't feel unable to talk about things or ask questions regarding the process. You're involved in it, and the person cutting your hair cares more about it than you do. Bottom line: This is that master-craft guy who becomes YOUR barber. If you actually want your cut done right, this is where you go. read more

Ryan is a skilled, genuine, and amazing barber. Right when I entered, he offered complimentary snacks and beverages with a smile, and the vibe was very relaxed, unlike many other barbers where the scene is often hectic. He takes as long as needed to ensure every single hair is cut the way you want it. I've been around to multiple "popular" barbers in the area, Gandy's, Chop it Up, Off Main Street, and countless others and Down to Cut was by far the best experience and the best cut I've had. Ryan asked what I wanted, gave his input regarding precisely what I am looking for and how my hair should be cut, and the final product was on point. This barbershop deserves massive amounts of exposure and business for Ryan's dexterity in detail and humble, chill attitude. I will definitely be coming back, and I'm confident he will deliver every time. I'm an extremely picky person when it comes to my hair, but Down to Cut has won me over. The price for a student like myself is decently affordable, as it is very similar to other barbershops. Definitely worth spending the money here compared to other barbers, though. It's worth it. The location is a little tricky, you have to take the elevator up to the third floor by pressing in 310 (the suite number) on the keypad. Ryan will buzz you in so you can take the elevator. I didn't know this, but hopefully, this helps future customers. Thank you Ryan, and keep up your amazing work! read more

I would highly recommend Ryan to anyone. I think Ryan is the best barber I have ever had the pleasure of visiting. He is the rare example of both a master-skilled barber and a courteous professional that puts his clients first and treats them with respect and kindness. His skills behind the clippers are obvious - his fades are tight and his lines are crisp. I have 3 mixed kids and they each have different hair and Ryan can cut them all with skill and precision. He does my beard and mustache and makes it look better than I possibly ever could. Ryan's shop is family friendly and he is an excellent dude. He's always been great to my children and they love him. My kids have had some negative experiences in other shops that specialize in African hair but never with Ryan. Never any disrespect, no lazy line-ups, never any cuts or burns. They love Ryan because of his excellent and his professional and positive attitude. Ryan's shop is intimate but very clean and bright. You can book through his website and perhaps directly after you visit! Visit today you will not regret your cut from Ryan. The only bad thing about Ryan is that there isn't two of him! He's a hidden gem - get in his client book today before he inevitably blows up and is cutting Nate Robinson's hair and is too busy! read more

Ryan is definitely a man of the people. At Down To Cut, he provides that boutique quality and professional hospitality with none of the pretentiousness. His space is cozy and welcoming, and he is a very easy going person, able to make customers of all ages feel comfortable. As a barber, as the other reviewer wrote, he's still cutting at his usual 5 star quality, but he's been growing as a business man and is a strong proponent of the local community and that artisanal small business culture. Can't say enough good things about this humble gentleman, his work ethic, and the way he continues to improve in his craft. read more

Recently moved to WA from NC and had no idea where to get a nice hair cut for my son. After some research, I decided to try Down To Cut. When my son and I arrived for our appointment, we were greeted with an empty chair and a smile! No waiting! Ryan was very professional and made sure my son was comfortable and entertained while getting his hair cut. We both left satisfied with the service he received. I would recommend Ryan and Down To Cut for anyone looking for a dope cut in a chill, laid back environment. Thank you again Ryan for making Eli's first hair cut in WA a great experience. read more

I have been to many barbers in the last 20 years. I have only trusted 2 to cut my hair on a regular basis because in my line of business, a professional appearance is paramount. Of those 2 people, Ryan is my go-to on the West Coast. His shop is small but accommodating. The conversation is phenomenal and his cuts are always on-point. I've been going to him for a few years now and I will continue to recommend his service. read more

My son has been going to Ryan for a long time and we just love what he does with his hair. I was excited to hear Ryan had branched off to do his own thing from where we originally started going to him at!

I am always trying to get others to see him for there hair needs and will continue to do so! read more

Ryan has been cutting my hair for the last two years or so. I've always been super impressed by how much attention to detail he puts in every single time, and I consistently walk away happy with the job he's done.
