I've been a Mark's Barber Shop customer for years and for almost all of that time I would give them a 5 star rating. Mark was one of the finest barbers in the area. But Mark started towards retirement and brought in his son, John, a great guy, but not the barber his dad was. As Mark completely retired, they've had barbers of various skill levels cycle through. After Covid, everything became by appointment and often times that didn't work with my schedule. By chance, I tried another barber shop in another locale and got a very good haircut and began frequenting them. Last week, I happened to need a haircut and was in Gig Harbor and tried for a walk-in. I was able to get an appointment that worked and came back at the time. A lady barber cut my hair and I just asked to clean it up a little and just off the ears. When I was done, she showed me the results- I was basically given almost an Army recruit haircut. In 50 years, my hair hadn't been that short. When she asked "How's that?" What the hell are you supposed to say? The damage was done and nothing left to do but let it grow out and never go back there. Even my wife and daughter remarked what a terrible haircut it was.. Mark, I had many a great haircut at your place, but the high review of your shop is probably a lot of inertia from days gone by. Adios, amigo. read more

My 3rd barber from moving to the area and by far the best. Friendly shop and did great work.

Great barbers, all of them top notch. Never had a bad cut in all the years. Old school shop, sit down, jaw a bit, watch the game, get a great cut. read more

I had my first cut at this shop today. Andrea did a fantastic job...the best cut I have had in a couple of years. She listened to what I was looking for, and did a perfect job. I know where I will go from now on for a great haircut. I would highly recommend Mark's Barber Shop. read more

Barber Shop. Proper. Go here. Great cuts, Great atmosphere. Saturday morning took my 4yo son for a hair cut; He's super anxious about hair cut in general, and has had bad experiences at chain cut places. So we walk in and there are three other boys around 3-4 there with their dad's, put my son at ease. Friendly greetings, first time there but made to feel like a regular. Great cuts, quality work. Old guys, young guys and boys all hanging out. Many men will search for a great place to get their hair cut and spend their whole lives looking for a place like this. Fancy? No. Big? No. A wait? Likely. Worth it? Yes. Barbed shop proper. read more

We were first timers here. They did so well working with my son being that he was 1 years old. Service was pretty quick here and very friendly atmosphere. Would definitely recommend this place to everyone! Parking is available right out front of the shop. They only accept cash and check and walk ins only. read more

I've been seeing Mark for my haircuts for years. He does an excellent job and very personable. He holds a good conversation so you don't just sit in the chair waiting to be done. I enjoy the appointment system that he uses as apposed to showing up and waiting in line. Great haircuts, reasonable prices and generally a great place to get your hair cut. I'd highly recommend them. read more

Great dudes, great haircut. Fast and friendly, they are Busiest around the end of the workday - so try to go at ofttimes or on the weekend if you want to be in and out quick read more

Asked for a trim and they cut off all of my hair. Not sure if they did it on purpose or what

This is the place to get a great, consistent hair cut. Mark and John are always friendly and do a great job. No matter how busy they get, they greet everyone and make you feel at home. My kids feel like the king of the world when they put the warm shaving cream on and use the straight razor on the back of the neck. read more

Mark's Barber Shop - Barbers Near Me - Gig Harbor, Washington

The best barber in town. We searched a long time finding someone who would listen to what we wanted and is consistent. Can't recommend this place enough. read more

Right next to the Inn At Gig Harbor, Mark's is what a barber shop should be! With flat screen TV on on ESPN all day and Hot Rod magazines on the table! Oh, and whether you get Mark or his son John to cut your hair, it will be perfect. The coolest thing about this shop is that Mark opens at 6:30AM Tues-Sat! That means you can get your hair cut on your way to work or you can get Jr's hair cut on the way to school! There is not any other barber in Gig Harbor that is open this early! read more

Rather than be redundant, all prior reviews are spot on! The one important service I've not seen mentioned are BEARDS. So if you are looking for the perfect haircut and have trust issues with someone grooming your large beard, these guys have you covered (thanks John)! read more

My friend Brandon from Chigaco came for a visit and I noticed he booked an appointment for here. I told them to cut off all of his hair, even if he asked for just a trim. They did it and it was great! read more

Awesome atmosphere and friendly barbers. Definitely coming back! David was my son's barber and was helpful in picking his style.

Came out here from Tacoma. Didn't care about an extra bridge toll. Heard only great things about this place and needed to get a first haircut for my 2 year old. Glad I made the special trip. My son pretty much cried the entire time only because he had no clue what the heck was going on. I believe it was Jon that cut his hair (the younger guy) he was AWESOME! Very patient. Put on cartoons for him and Quickly got through the cut. He did a great job and did exactly what I wanted. After it was done and my son cried everyone's ears out he had no hesitation to grab a Kleenex and wipe his nose. He also filled out a first hair cut certificate a long with a lock of hair taped to it! Wasn't expecting that. Will definitely come back! read more

When I first moved to Gig Harbor in 2003, I tried to find a good barber shop. I was spoiled by a good friend that had an old fashioned barber shop in Saratoga. My barber there was fantastic and I could never find anyone like him until I stumbled across Mark's shop while waiting for the Kitsap/Bremerton Shuttle. Mark did a better job than my favorite barber back home so I've going to his shop ever since my discovery. To my surprise, his son Jonathan joined the shop and he too is an incredible barber. The shop is tucked away near the Inn at Gig Harbor, so just look for the rotating barber pole outside. You won't be disappointed. They are very reasonable, but must of all, they are very professional and good at what they do. I do recommend you Friend them on Facebook so that you can see any schedule changes and hours of operation. read more

I recently got stationed here and moved to Gig Harbor. I just happen to stop by and I must admit this is one of the most friendly and professional Barber shops I have been to. I have not been overly impressed with the the attitudes and atmosphere in the area since getting here but this barber shop def served as a bright spot. I believe I have now found my new barber. read more

Today was a rough day! My hair was butchered by a barber in Tacoma who claimed to know the minutia of a pompadour but clearly didn't. I arrived at Mark's and John not only fixed my hair, but also my day. And, when I tried to pay, he refused payment. Looks like I have found my barber. Thank you John. read more

I've been getting my hair cut by Mark since I was a little kid. Now his son Jon is doing a great job!

Not just a barber shop, Marks is a barber experience. Great haircut for a great price. I plan on a hot shave with my next cut. Just get your hair cut there and don't bother with the other places in town. You won't regret it. read more

Best barber I've found in Washington since moving here over a year ago. They focuses solely on men's haircuts and they do a great job at it I would recommend these guys to anyone I know, actually send all my friends that way when they visit. read more

I've been getting my haircuts with Mark for the past 16 years. He always does an awesome job. Makes me look clean and professional. The past few years I've been having his son, John, do my hair and he does a phenomenal job. Can't recommend this place enough. Great people, atmosphere, and haircuts! And great price too. I recently moved to Seattle and nobody compares to the phenomenal cuts at Marks Barber Shop in Gig Harbor. Thanks Mark and John! read more

Great barber shop. 3 chairs. I went and saw David... He was highly attentive. Also, there is military discount available. :D Always a winner. I will definitely see this barbershop again the next time I'm in town. read more

The best haircut I've gotten in the Harbor!!! (Wife approved) Great environment, ESPN on the tv and excellent service. I would recommend this place to all the men I know. I would say if you haven't had your hair cut at Marks you should walk in and give it a try. I have no doubt you will leave satisfied with the results. This is where I will be going from now on. read more

Great local barber shop! Super friendly, efficient, high quality, experienced. Best haircut I've had in a long while!

Went there once for a haircut. Hair cut quality was good. However wait times are often very long in the afternoons and hours are unusual. 7-5am does not make a lot of sense for people that have jobs, 9-7pm is far more sensible. read more

I've been going to Mark's all summer and have had great haircuts from Mark, John and David. Good conversation, sports are always on and I would recommend these guys to anyone looking for a quality cut & shave! read more

Moved here from San Diego a month ago and had been looking around for a barber shop when I found this place. With all the 5 star reviews I figured I'd go and check it out to see if it was really as good as everyone says. Im happy to say that it was. I got my hair cut by Mark himself and he did an excellent job. The shop is well kept, clean, and everyone is super friendly. A lot of obvious long time customers when I was there and lots of conversation. Mark himself made me feel right at home and had me walking out a for sure to return customer. If you like the barber shop setting instead of a chain style salon then this is definitely the spot for you. read more

My son and I got great haircuts here the other day. everyone was friendly and made good conversation, even though we ran them a little past closing. Price was reasonable for a haircut, great for the quality. I've have plenty of bad haircuts for more money. This will definitely by my go to shop now that I've found it. read more

Great barbershop, very friendly and did an amazing job. This will definitely be the only place I get my hair cut now
