Saw Ryan for the first time ever over the weekend and he did such a great job!!! I gave myself an undercut, to see if I would like it, and I ended up wanting a design. Ryan was super kind and fixed it up for me and gave me an awesome piece! I sent in a photo of a generic design that I wanted and he took it to the next level! Since it was my first time he walked me through everything he was doing and why which made me feel at ease. I will definitely be going back to him for touch ups! read more

Potter The Barber - Barbers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I've been a Yelp user for years but never felt the urge to leave a review, but Ryan truly deserves the good press. I moved to Seattle a year ago and was extremely reluctant to find a new barber. My guy back home had been my go to barber for six years, and I always found it insufferable to start that barber/client relationship from scratch. But from the start Ryan was attentive and delivered on what I wanted as a client, providing an exceptional service. He's also a great guy to just sit down and have a chat with, making the experience that much better. If you're looking for a quality haircut in Seattle I highly recommend Ryan. read more

Ryan has done my last 6+ short cuts, and as long as he's in the area I can't imagine going to anyone else. He's professional, precise, queer-friendly, and makes great conversation. He's always been able to deliver the look I have in mind, and at this point I trust his artistic eye enough that I'll give him a general idea of what I like (for example, "a full undercut, parted to the right") and let him take the choices from there. Always get a great cut and leave with high self esteem! I have had trouble convincing past stylists to give me the more "masculine" cut I ask for without them rounding or otherwise "feminizing" the style lines. Ryan doesn't argue or try to talk me out of blunt or scalp-baring cuts, he's totally on board and trusts that I know what I want. Worth noting - I have allergies to a lot of hair product ingredients, and after informing Ryan at my first appointment, and since then I have NEVER had to remind him. He remembers to cut my hair with a the aid of a water spritzer and has me check ingredients before styling at the end (or lets me opt out of styling.) This kind of care is really important for customers with chronic illnesses/allergies, so if that's you - book with Ryan. read more

Rayan has been cutting my hair for years now. He is very easy to talk to and knows exactly what u want to do with your hair. He is the hair whisperer ... and he's got surgeon hands so he can do all sort of things shaved on Your head and face if you are in to that. And he can make your hair super proper if u in need a classy look.... believe me I have been down both roads.. read more

It only took one cut from Ryan for me to realize I had found my guy. Fast forward 3 years and the perfection hasn't changed. I've gotten a haircut from Ryan every 2 weeks for the last 3 years and I actually have anxiety thinking about another barber cutting my hair. It's not only the quality and care that Ryan shows with his work, but it's also his friendliness and dedication to his clients that keeps me coming back. Before Ryan, it was my mom and Great Clips. Both were terrible...As long as Ryan is around, I will drive whatever distance. 10/10, 100%, Absolutely no doubt - I would recommended Ryan to anyone looking for a quality haircut. read more

Ryan is great. I spent my first four years in Seattle looking for a reliable, good barber and now I found it. He takes his time, there is never a rushed feeling, and he does a thorough job. Would recommend to anyone. read more

Awesome barber! Attention to detail! Great location! Inside is very cozy and warm. Good vibes. Good convo. Highly recommend

Ryan is awesome. I tried a few different places looking for a good mix of style in my haircut, and also wanting easy-going communication. Ryan was both. I followed him from his previous shop to current place, and commute for his haircuts. Recommend highly! read more

Ryan has been cutting my hair for about 5 years and I cannot recommend him enough. He has given me some of the best pixie cuts, and undercuts ever. We've currently been working on a nice shag type of mullet situation and I'm obsessed. He really can do it all. Not many stylists in the Seattle area offer straight razor shaves and I think that's pretty cool that he offers that as well. I have a very strong color clientele myself, so I recommend many cuts to Ryan and send all undercut designs his way as well. read more

Ryan's great. Listens to what you want and delivers a great haircut!

Ryan is a fantastic barber who has great technical skills, is easy to talk to, and pays a lot of attention to the details. I used to get weekly haircuts with him when he was at Bang and then when he relocated to green lake. The distance became bit of an issue for us so i had to look for sth in capitol hill, but I would definitely recommend him to anyone who wants a great haircut in the area. read more

Ryan spent a lot of time giving me the best haircut possible. His pace and attention to detail are excellent, inspiring trust in his work. I look forward to my next visit. read more

I found Potter the Barber working at the Fox Guild Salon just south of Ken's Market in the Greenwood neighbor of Seattle. I was seeking someone to tidy up my over grown undercut. Potter the Barber pays meticulous attention to detail. I left with a high Bald fade and was treated to the buzz cut, straight razor trim of the bape of my neck, warm towels, and a nice tea tree oil infused after shave. This is the first time I haven't had any in grown hairs after a buzz cut. read more

Almost don't want to give this secret away, but here goes... Potter is a master of the clippers. I go for a standard cut and each time now, without fail, a perfect hair cut. I highly doubt you'd find a better barber in Seattle. read more

The short story: Ryan is an absolutely fantastic barber. He's so good, that I'm compelled to post a Yelp review even though I've been incredibly lazy about reviews in the past. The longer story involves me getting my hair cut by the same person for 15 years prior to finding Ryan, and finding myself suddenly in need of a new barber. It was a bit of a crisis, because I'm really picky about my hair (which is why I was loyal to the same person for 15 years!). But a few months ago I tried out Ryan's expertise when he was in his Capitol Hill space, and he was awesome. So I followed him to the Phinney Ridge space, where parking is bit easier. He's incredibly thorough, attentive to exactly what you want, easy to converse with, and truly a professional. I was dreading having to find a new barber, but now I'm glad I was forced to do it, because I'm even happier with the results than I was before. read more

My go-to for a clean nice cut. Ryan's always available when I need him and always remembers the style I like. Fantastic service!!

Simply the best in Seattle! I wouldn't go anywhere else. Ryan is always on point, and never disappoints with his work. Highly detailed, and able to turn your vision into an amazing result. I recommended him to a few others who are just as satisfied. read more
