Just a gem located in Shoreline for men's hair cuts. Tucked away in a little corner behind a pho restaurant, this barber shop is very much a no frills place where you can walk in in or call (call to be safe honestly) and get a solid hair cut for an "affordable" price point. As I write this review in May 2025, the hair cuts are $22. He prefers cash, but does accept card by the way. He did exactly what I wanted and I was very impressed. I wish I had something this easy and quick in Chicago as a barber option. read more

John's Hair Styling - Children haircut, currently $18. Such a steal! - Barbers Near Me - Shoreline, Washington

Don't let the location (which is just a little on the seedy side) put you off, John is a skilled barber with great prices. Besides giving you a great haircut (which is really the main thing,) he's very quick and doesn't chat much, which is unusual and I honestly prefer. My go-to Barber, and an absolute bargain to boot. read more

I walked in after cutting my hair off jagged and short (I am female). I was certain John must be finished with the client in the chair as he had no hair I could see to trim. But this barber gave that man who "needed" 1/8 inch (maybe 1/4) of a cut a complete haircut and brow trim. I asked him to buzz cut and blend the back of my head leaving the length on top and hair over my ears and trim strays . He did exactly what I asked. Simplicity is a rare find these days. I hope to send him my son as a client. read more

Husband and son came here for a haircut. John did a great job. Definitely coming back. read more

Excellent very detailed. No interruptions. Just focused on cutting hair. Thank you John

John is very skilled, efficient, and courteous. He can get busy so I usually call the day before. He books three slots per hour so seems to finish all cuts within 20 minutes. read more

Always consistent and very good You do have to make appointments now. It's a sign of getting popular. That means he's good.

John is very friendly, talented, and has always been able to fit me in same day. Great haircut at an amazing price

I've had 3 cuts here so far and will definitely be continuing. It's easy to schedule (or walk in), easy to park, very fairly priced, and John does a great job. My wife likes his cuts better than the place I was paying 3x more at previously. read more

Friendly, professional groomer! Price is reasonable and John is the only barber I know who vacuums your head

One of my favorite barbers, I recommend every guy I know who lives in North Seattle to go here. Everyone who has been has loved it.

Is good place to get a haircut Is clean , professional service I will be back here when I need another haircut read more

Since my original barber retired (Sunny's Barbershop, Burien) ive been wandering from barber to barber. I gave this place a try, its always hard finding a new barber, but this place surprised me. Did a great mid-skin fade, lined me up nice and straight, and he was very nice and friendly. John is a great barber, I definitely recommend! He remind me of my old barber, her name was Sunny, a nice and beautiful older Korean lady. I was going to her for YEARS. I was devastated, but also happy when she retired. John gives me those same vibes as she once did. Already booked my next appointment with him! Also, prices for a haircut is awesome!!! $20 Men's cut. Quality for a bargain. read more

Solid hair cut for a solid price. Hard to find at other places near by. Call ahead for apt.

I used to go to a much more expensive barber and I can honestly get the same quality cut for way less here and half the time. If you make an appointment you can be in-out within half an hour and I absolutely love that. John is super accommodating and vacuums your hair for free which I've never had at any other barbershop. This will be my go-to for years to come. 10/10 read more

Great Haircut, Good Price. He also uses like a shop vac to remove the random cut hair that inevitably makes you itch and bugs you afterwards if you dont get a shampoo. It worked great and was a really clever idea. I plan on coming back in the future. read more

I will keep my review straight and to the point. John is great. He runs a no-nonsense shop, and gets you in and out quickly. He is always friendly and does great work. I have been here several times, and every time, John does an awesome job. Highly recommend! read more

Great basic reliable no frills affordable haircut I've been wanting and searching for years in North Seattle.

I would not recommend this barbershop when the person want something the barber don't let it or does not know their job.

Great no frills barber. John is a one man show. He knows what he is doing. Just make sure to communicate and show pictures of what kind of style you're going for. He always finishes your cut by vacuuming your head, which I appreciate. It is definitely a very affordable place to go for a quick haircut. You can walk in, but I'd recommend just calling the day of or the day before to schedule an appointment. There's a parking lot with lots of spots. Though, it can get crowded since the parking lot is used for two other restaurants. read more

Always a great cut for a reasonable price. I bring my boys along and he's good with them too. Recommended.

Always gives me the haircut that I ask for. Fast and friendly service. My go to barbershop!

John is meticulous when it comes to cutting hair. Every strand of hair will be of the desired length. It usually takes about 20mins (men's hair) and the head vacuuming is always free. If you've never been head vacuumed, you're in for a treat. Let's just say its a process that allows you to leave without the typically after haircut itch. I could recommend John's Hair Styling to anyone and know that they'll become regular. So, if you live in the neighborhood or are close enough to drive, this is definitely the place to go for a haircut. read more

I've taken my teenage son here. He listened to what my son asked for and was able to do it very quickly. My son approved.

Went way shorter than I asked. Didn't say one word which was fine, but I showed him pics of what I wanted and he just did his own thing.

My favorite barber of all time. Fast, polite, not too talkative. And then he vacuums your head when done with a super sucker. Very invigorating! John is my regular barber now and I'm happy to spread the word about him. Call ahead to make a time appointment too. No waiting. Ignore the 1 star ratings down below. They should go to Sissy Cuts. This is a BARBER SHOP not a hair styling place. John should change the name. See the barber pole in the picture! A real man's haircut, no pansy styling! read more

I was due for a haircut and found this barber shop closeby thru Yelp. This is a one-man show, John handles everything! I showed him how my last hair cut looked like and to basically just follow it. He insisted to cut the back a little even after I said "that's the style", and claimed it'd look better if he cuts it. He also did the line-up a little too wide even after I said to make it narrow or thin -- like natural looking. I'm glad he has the scissors to texturize my hair (not all barbers have it or do it!)! I got to experience the "vacuum" people mentioned here. I thought it was awesome as you don't have the hair all over your upper body! I'd try this barber again in 2 weeks. read more

Went for a quick and easy haircut. The owner John is super friendly and patient and I was very satisfied with my haircut

John is super quick and consistent. He takes walk-ins, but is pretty booked up always so I call in advance. I think he is best at cutting hair simple and short which I'm perfectly fine with. I basically just tell him what number I want my sides cut at and he does the rest. So convenient! read more

I have thick, black hair. The kind that barbers look at and know they're in for a long haul. I've actually had barbers take breaks during my haircut and then return to finish what was usually a 45-minute cut - sometimes recommending I go to a hair salon. Mind you, I know my hair is a tough cut so I already avoid the bargain cuts. I actually grew up in a barbershop so I'm pretty picky with my hair. I discovered John when I moved into the area a few years ago after trying other barbers in the area. Long(er) story short, John takes about 15 minutes to give me a really nice and proper cut. And he doesn't rush. Just calmly cuts my hair like the pro he is. I don't know how he does it, but I don't think I'll be visiting another barbershop as long as John is around with his magical shears. read more

It's a barber shop - not yo mama's fancy ass Bellevue salon. So if you want a Kpop Jerry curl with blonde highlights, this is NOT the place for you. But if you're a dude that wants fast, cheap, and reliable, this is the place for you. Try to be specific in how you want your haircut if you're new or show John a picture on your phone if changing to a new style - he can cut it correct if you just show him. Getting your hair cut here is like a Mongolian grill...if you don't like how it tastes, it's your fault for adding all those damn sauces. Best for shorter hair styles, buzzed sides, etc. Appointment recommended, especially Saturdays. read more

I've been coming to John's at least once a month for haircuts for about 10 years now, and it might make me seem biased, but there's a reason. Ever since the first time in 7th grade, I've always received the same professional dedication to quality as that very first time. John is a real friendly guy (apart from a slight language barrier sometimes), and his wife, who sometimes assists, is great as well. What really stands out about this place, however, is again, the quality and attention to detail. In high school, I started needing buzz cuts for an USAF program. Even though it could have been done by any monkey with a #2 shaver, I went back all the time to John's. Even for this simple haircut (which, incidentally, I still have, go figure), John concentrates on the details. He'll use three different types of electric shavers on you, then go down to details with a pair of hair scissors and a brush. For a buzz cut. I used to show up to my squadron with a perfectly rounded haircut, as in not even one hair standing up. People used to stand me in front of a white wall and try to spot errant hairs, without success. While this might be a tad extreme for the average joe, it just goes to illustrate how careful John is to not only fulfill what you want, but exceed your expectations. Considering I'm a youngish guy, I don't have any experience with women's or senior haircuts, but I would expect the same level of service. One thing to keep in mind is that John may be slightly more expensive than what you're used to. The current haircut runs at $15 for a male, and I usually chuck in three bucks for a tip or so. However, there is definitely something to be said about paying for quality. I'm sure over the last 10 years I've dropped quite a bit at John's salon, but I never bat an eye. I give additional gifts around the Holidays, just like you would a doorman you see everyday, simply because this is the kind of quality and friendly stylist you can't find anywhere else. I still don't know what I'm going to do the day John decides to retire. Go bald? read more

This is it: a barbershop where a man can get a haircut for a reasonable price, in a short amount of time, with no idle chit-chat. And John (if that is his name) is a pro from top to bottom. I came in with a photo and John says, "Oh no, that is a YOUNG man. Here, sit down, I will fix." And, sure enough, John gave me a hair cut MUCH better (more appropriate to my actual self than to my fantasy self) than the one I wanted. THIS is my new barbershop. read more

Quick, cheap, good haircut. Accepts walk inside and the place is clean. Would recommend if you want a no hassle haircut.

Great haircut and the signature vacuum clean up. Absolute great value for the great service

John is the most reliable and consistent barber I've ever had. And I've had a lot at this point. Every time he does the same superb job, and he's so good he can do it in a fraction of the time of most barbers due to decades of experience. highly recommend this hidden gem. read more

Fast, efficient, and solid haircut. Parking right outside so easy to drive right in and get a haircut quickly.

After moving to Shoreline from Phoenix, I had to find new places to regularly go to. I'm glad I found something good on the first try. I found John through a yelp search and decided to give it a shot based on the reviews. Most of them are true to their word: quick, simple, comprehensive, and cheap. I called at 11:30 to see if there was an opening, walked in at 12:03, and walked out at 12:16 without a stray hair on my head. For those of you looking for one, John's not a sparkling conversationalist. There's not much you can cover in under 15 minutes! That's the reason my review is only 4 stars for the complete experience. Men's and women's cuts are $15, children and seniors are $13, and he offers shampoos and beard trims as well. I'd definitely recommend it for someone looking for a quick, clean cut. read more
