The gentleman asked what we wanted and I showed him a picture and he recreated it perfectly! My son has painfully straight hair that can be hard to get a good fade on but our barber managed a very nice fade and even got my grumpy teen to smile while chatting during the haircut- no small victory. The cut was $28- very affordable for the quality of the cut. We will definitely be returning. The vibe was laid back and cozy, right on the waterfront.

My wife Kendall walked into this salon three days after these before photos were taken. She left…read moreabsolutely devastated, and she has not been okay since. She came in asking for a blonde hair service and a haircut. What Ashley did to her hair is one of the worst things I have ever seen done to a person in a salon. Kendall had thick, beautiful, waist-length hair that she had spent years growing. She walked out with her hair so aggressively and unevenly thinned that you can see light through it in sections. The ends are wispy and choppy throughout. None of this was discussed, agreed to, or consented to. Ashley made the decision on her own to take thinning shears to hair that had absolutely no business being thinned like this. And the color? Her hair does not look noticeably blonder than when she walked in. We paid $325 for a blonde hair service that delivered no visible result. We also left a $60 tip -- $385 total -- for a service that has left my wife in tears. Kendall is 30 years old. We are looking at a minimum of 2 to 5 years for her hair to recover to where it was before she walked through your door. That is not an inconvenience. That is years of her life. She has cried every single day since this appointment. She does not recognize herself. She is devastated. The before photos in this review were taken three days before her appointment. Look at them. Then look at the after. The difference is inexcusable. We have contacted the salon requesting a full refund. We will be taking Kendall's hair to another salon for corrective work at significant additional cost to us. So far we have not heard back, despite the email being marked as read. If you have thick, long, healthy hair -- do not bring it here. We learned that the hard way.

The place that was here before was good and this place just took that business model and improved upon it. Easy 5 stars. If you're a man in gig harbor / port orchard / key peninsula areas you'll be hard pressed to find a barber that can compete with Nori's without charging an arm and a leg or booking you out weeks in advance. TLDR? Top quality barber without all the nonsense.

First time customer here and I will ABSOLUTELY be going back. I got my hair cut and beard trimmed by Mark and I couldn't be happier. He did exactly what I asked for and made sure I was pleased with it. Mark introduces me to his fellow barbers, one being his son, and they are all very nice. Being a first time customer and veteran, he didn't charge me for his service. Very pleased with Mark and his barber shop!! read more

This is a thirty year establishment for a reason. Mark and his son John are quick, friendly and reasonable. Did a double take when I saw the same little boy in the post siting in the chair when I walked in. John and I hit it off as soon as I sat down and compared handlebar moustances. Just moved here and coming here will be part of my regular routine. Having the velocity channel on the TV was a plus. read more

I have been getting my haircut from Mark, and lately his son Jon, for over 20 years now and have only ventured away from these two one time over that span (big mistake). Not only are they great at what they do, but they are great people. Great value and it is hard to beat getting your haircut in a man cave I wish I always had! read more

We have taken our son in twice. The men are both beyond kind and very understanding of our little guy. They are patient souls that's for sure. They give our son the best hair cut he gets and doesn't give him the typical bowl cut everyone else gives him. I have come all the way out from spanaway to have them cut his hair. read more

Mark's barbershop is the way barbershops should be. You build solid relationships with Mark and Jon who do an outstanding job knowing exactly what to do to your hair after only cutting it once. It is very much a throwback to the way barbershops were in the old days! the best haircuts I have gotten are by Jon and Mark! read more

Great barber shop in Gig Harbor. Father-son owned and operated. Efficient, friendly, and reasonably-priced. Great for men or boys. They also open at 7:30, so you can get a haircut prior to work. I would suggested "liking" the shop on Facebook since that is where they post any business closures (vacations, etc.). read more
