It's tough to find a good hair cut in central Washington. So once every three or four weeks I drive to Seattle to Rudy's to get my hair cut. Zaylee has cut my hair twice and she is a fantastic hair dresser. Her dog Athena is friendly and always happy for a scratch behind the ear as well. Thank you for the great haircuts! read more

My old barbershop wasn't open this week due to the holidays and I'm not paying $100 for a men's haircut which should take 20 minutes or less. Rudy's got me in clipped looking good gonna go back love it. read more

John is the absolute best. He's been part of my 'twice a month' ritual for over 10 years now!

3 shitty haircuts. 3 failed chances. I've never written a negative review in my life. The "levels" these barbers fall under, represent their mediocrity. From levels 1-3 being the worst in hair experience and customer service, and levels 4-6 showing just a bit more promise. Great haircuts are subjective to the work experience a barber has, but also to the desire a barber holds to deliver great customer service- both things that more than half of these barbers, don't have. For a place that claims to be top, I'm appalled. I detest tipping for half ass jobs, and I regret doing it every time out of pressure and common courtesy. As for an LGBTQ+ friendly space, I felt the toxic dude and masc vibes a typical barber shop has, and while I am masc myself, I saw the lack of warmth and conversation to those who weren't, from every non-LGBTQ+ staff. Mind you, I could've asked for "the owner" to take care of me for a premium experience, but I instead chose to have hope in his team of people who still manage to make his whole shop look like a crock of shit. read more

I wanted a buzz cut the other day and I thought I might once again try Rudy's, hoping they'd gotten better in the time since I'd last booked a cut there. I looked at the Rudy's website to make an appointment. I have very little hair on my head and my cut would, as the website suggests, take about ten minutes. These cuts are said to start at $28, but none of them are that low. In fact , many stylists listed charges far more, some charging $45. For a buzz cut. It's a ripoff. People should know it's a ripoff. My Rudy's haircuts have always required home touch-ups to trim missed patches, poorly-shaved necks, and long, obvious stray hairs. read more

Mina Vo at the Commons and Columbia City has been my stylist for years. She understands how to provide great service and she pays deep attention to detail. She's the best, especially for great fades. Never rushes! Highly recommend her. read more

Andreus is the best hair stylist I have ever had, and the only one I have ever wanted to return to time and time again. He did a fantastic job when I got my hair dyed for the first time ever, and knocked it out of the park the next two times too. I've never been disappointed in a haircut i've gotten, and he always is able to work with me to help interpret what I'm looking for and make it a reality. read more

First Haircut wasn't great, but Owner is taking care of me. And professionalism 100%. Thanks again Cory. He has been very responsive and quick to resolve the issue. read more

James does an amazing job. He cuts hair with a high level or artistry and care. Also super friendly and nice! I'd recommend him to anyone.

this place ruined my hair now I look like a mushroom. I asked for a fade and I showed them what type of haircut I wanted they did the complete opposite wanted terrible place do not recommend read more

Michael S is the best! I came in with a general idea of what I wanted for my haircut, and Michael did a great job explaining what he would do to get there. The actual haircut was quick and is exactly what I wanted! I'm from out of town so next time I'm back in the area, I will definitely come back to see him. read more

Horrible service. They open at 9. I walked in. 2 guys stood there and looked at me. Can I get a haircut. Sure sign in and I'll get with you in a minute. So I do. The. The guy comes over to me and whispers. Do you have an appointment. But I didn't hear him. So I follow him to the counter. He gets even quieter. Like pulling teeth to get him to understand that I just walked in. Didn't you see me? He argued for like a minute with me. WTF. He says we don't have appointments available until after 10. WTF. I just walked in. Needless to say I drove all over town looking for a haircut. Only to find out great clips is two blocks away with no wait. So. 1) speak up. Nobody can hear you. 2) Offer some customer service! Gimme the pickle. Jeesh. You really could have had a new Rudy's customer. Fortunately I met this great barber Matthew at great clips. Love the guy. I'm going there now. So read more

After having gone to Rudy's for years before COVID I went back this week. I honestly can say this was the worst haircut in my life. Like I would have been better anywhere else, and the person cutting my hair showed a total lack of understanding of how hair works. I asked for my long wavy hair to be cut to below my chin and tapered up. Somehow it got cut to my nose, and went up the most in the middle?? The person cutting my wavy hair never even wet it, and used an electric razor rather than scissors. When I got home I saw how uneven it was and still had long strands that weren't cut at all. After having a panic attack over how much hair I lost and how bad it looked, I called a different salon who did their best to fix it. The photo attached is what it looked like after Rudy's butchered it. Seriously avoid this place if you can. read more

Go somewhere else! This place is a nightmare. I had an almost identical experience to one posted below by Bethany H about absolutely HORRIBLE customer service. I've gone to this Rudy's location on and off since 2014, and will never be returning. Never in my life have I been openly mocked by a receptionist when trying to get my hair cut. I selected the 'any stylus available' for a 5pm appointment and trusted the booking system would do its thing. Then, Andreus texted that he was running '5 minutes late' 30 minutes before my appointment. That's fine, but I have a meeting to get to so I can't go too much past that. I signed in on the tablet when I arrived at 4:55pm expecting to wait 10 mins. At 5:08, with another person waiting, and no stylist around, I go up to the counter to ask about my haircut. This is where things really go south. First, the receptionist says that my stylist is probably 'just in the bathroom' and about to come out. Nice try, that's clearly not the case. I explain to her that I could see ANY stylist and ask if the one who is sitting in his chair on his phone is available. Her response is she doesn't know and that he might be more expensive- fine, at this point I'd rather just pay more to get my hair cut and go. But she doesn't know if he's available and she just keeps saying 'nope, it's not that simple' and 'i don't even know who that is'. She tells me to go sit down and she'll be with me shortly. I return to the chair I was waiting in, it's now 5:10 when she comes up and explains that there is no stylist available, but 'Andreus is probably going to be back really soon, he's just on his break.' That's when I point out that if I was this late to my haircut I would be charged for it and unable to get my haircut. She repeats back that they would have to charge me for this haircut because I (the customer) was late. That's when I get upset- you're not going to say you're going to charge me for a haircut when your stylist is late. She then doubles down and says 'I don't know what time you got here, how do I know you weren't late'. ITS PRETTY EASY- I SIGNED IN ON THE TABLET AND I'M STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU! She asks me to lower my voice. I admit I was highly annoyed because the prices at Rudy's have gone up a lot and being charged for this would hurt. She says that if I leave now, they would have to charge me. I reaffirm that I'm not going to pay for a haircut that I have not received and remind her that I was here early/on time for my appointment. I accidentally say a '5 minute haircut' instead of the original agreement that Andreus would be 5 minutes late and she digs in 'haircuts aren't 5 minutes, you said they're 5 minutes.' and continues arguing that I'm 'just wrong'. WHAT IS HAPPENING! I'm mad! This is just downright rude! I ask to speak with a manager. She'll go check but doesn't think a manager is there, but maybe I can go speak with someone 'upstairs'. At this point, Andreus has shown up at 5:12, and she motions that I can have my haircut now, ignoring that I have asked to speak with a manager. I try to explain the ridiculousness of this situation to Andreus and tell him why I am not going to be getting a haircut there today but still want to speak to a manager. At this point I don't even care that Andreus was late, just the way I was treated was horrendous!!! Andreus gives me a phone number and email, but meanwhile the receptionist starts singing '123 - 456 - 7890' in the background in a mocking sing-song voice. She later points to my shirt and says that she 'once gave my big burly friend a Northface Jacket'. Then she starts talking about how acoustics in this space have really good reverb and that I could 'bring my whole band in to play. I could record you!' What is going on? I don't want to be recorded, I just wanted a haircut. Not to be threatened with being charged for an appointment that the stylist was 15 minutes late to and then mocked! Receptionist was obviously lying and just saying anything. I'm still waiting for Cort to call back, but the number I was given was a google voice number and no way to know if it's actually her or not. This chain has just gone completely downhill. I miss the old days of Rudy's where there were great stylists who could give reasonable haircuts. Just AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID! read more

Would give 0 stars if I could. My partner and I live in the neighborhood and he needed a really basic cut/fade. Rudy's was super close, had decent enough reviews and in business for awhile now. What could go wrong? (Writing this after having given them a second shot.) First cut: Stylist "Alexis S." nipped his neck twice and left him with an inconsistent uneven fade on both sides. We paid, still left a tip and decided that would be the last time. When you receive your receipt by email, you're prompted to leave feedback on your experience. Expecting an automated response if any response at all, I left a short and honest opinion about the first and would be last visit. Ended up receiving an email from shop manager "Cort" about 2 weeks later regarding the experience. Stating Rudy's "can do better," he informed us that if it any time (up to 7 days) you're unsatisfied with a cut, you can pop in to any shop and have a stylist fix it free of charge. However since he had replied to the feedback we left after the 7 days, he offered a complimentary cut card to be used at any Rudy's. I thought this was kinda cool and showed they might actually care about your business so we decided might as well give them a shot. Second cut: Today, 7/28/21 my partner booked another appointment at the same Location on Pine, this time with a "John S." To say the very least... this hair cut was actually much better than the first one he received from Alexis S. Not sure what's going on here. I just know we won't be going back. The picture here is from the most recent and absolute last visit. Speaks for itself and says volumes about this place's "stylists." (Went in with a full head of grown out ear/neck length hair both times. How does it even turn out this bad?) read more

web site is hard to navigate, I have been coming to Rudy's for years. made what I thought was an appointment at 9am at the 15th ave location, but it's closed. A guy scheduled me at the pine location , I showed up early hoping to get in and was treated buy a very rude guy telling "we are closed" I asked about my appointment and he responded " closed go away" place has gone down hill under new ownership, I'll go some wear else to pay 60+ for a 15 minute short hair cut read more

Heads-up: don't book appointments in advance. Just do walk-in. They take your credit card number and charge you a big fee if you're more than five minutes late or if you have to miss the appointment. read more

Andreus was absolutely wonderful. I had 7 months of regrowth, and he helped me get back to blonde. He took into account previous semi-permanent color I had in my hair (bright red that had faded to a champagne blonde) and perfectly color matched to my newly bleached roots. I adore it. I recommend him for your hair dying/bleaching needs. read more

Repeat customer.. when I come on time I have to wait 15 minutes or more. But one day I'm 6 minutes late and was denied a haircut because of a 5 min late policy. So don't be late! read more

I've been a loyal customer of Rudy's Barbershop since 2017. Today, however, I've decided to finally vote with my wallet and take my business elsewhere for the following infractions against decency and customer service: 1. The long-established rudeness of the staff finally reached a breaking point for me. It's a barber shop--not the Louvre. The arrogance and condescension at Rudy's coat the air like beard oil. 2. They always cut your hair as quickly as possible, like you're a package on a conveyor belt, sending you away with stray hairs covering your head and face. And no, they won't wash your hair. It's beneath them. 3. Because they always cut your hair as quickly (and forcefully) as possible, it usually grows out lopsided. (See the other reviews if you don't believe me.) 4. Their fluctuating prices have me showing up for a "Buzz Cut" for one $ amount from one "stylist" and another $ amount from someone else. That device in your hand? It's a pair of electric clippers. Yes, clippers. If my dog had opposable thumbs, he could use them as well as anyone at Rudy's. And there is no reason to charge me more depending on the person doing the clipping. (Do more tattoos on the stylist = a pricier haircut?) 5. Rudy's new policy of putting customer credit cards on file. The first time this happened, the receptionist on the phone waived the rule; the second time, the receptionist (a different person) advised that she did not have the proper authority to do so. You do not have the right to charge your customers for being late, as I noticed you did to someone in one of your many appalling reviews below. So that's it: six years of consistently underwhelming experiences. You'd think I was a masochist. Why did I put up with it for so long? Because it was cheap(ish). And it was conveniently located. But there are other barbershops dotted around Fremont and Ballard. I'll take my business there. (But first, I'll look them up on Yelp!) And save your "I'm sorry you had a negative experience" reply, store manager. I know you don't care. But we'll see how long you guys last with this blatantly anti-customer business model of yours. read more

There are many reasons to like Rudy's. There's the convenient locations, online booking, and their line of grooming products. The Capitol Hill location is within a short walking distance from my office. I can easily get a haircut during lunch or right after work. The online booking system is simple and I can easily cancel and reschedule appointments. Walk-ins are always welcome at this location, however I recommend calling ahead or making an appointment online just in case there's a long wait time. The list of services ranges from a simple buzz cut to coloring. A full line of grooming products are available for purchase. A staff member even helped me with recommendations based on my hair type and preferences. Their prices are reasonable and vary depending on the type of service. Finally, the staff are always friendly and efficient. read more

Well the dog is friendly and earned an extra star. The grey haired man who cut my hair, cold, unfriendly and I suspect purposely over hard on the comb. You can hear a pin drop in that place, no one is conversing. Suggest a prozac dispenser installed. Haircut was okay. Expensive for what it is. Shampoo, hot towel, scalp massage? Lies. I received none of that. Going back to Sports Hair Salon, half the price, nicer people. read more

I can't believe the terrible customer service I received from this place. I got a call 20 mins prior to my already scheduled haircut, to be asked if I can push my haircut back 45 mins and be done with a different stylist, so that 'the other stylist can get more experience'. When I politely declined and asked to stay with my appointment as I booked a stylist with a specific amount of experience, I was then told my stylist was double booked and if i could come another day. WOW, okay. The story vastly has now changed, funny how that happened so quickly. I then politely declined and informed the receptionist that I had arranged my entire evening to have my hair cut, so I would prefer to keep my appointment, and the receptionist then said to me, 'well I don't know what you want me to do, would you like to speak to the stylist?' I can't even make this up with the audacity, that I was expected to change my entire appointment around a poor booking system error to be THE ONE who was MADE to change MY appointment. No apologies. No concession. Just put up or shut up. Thankfully I cancelled my appointment and won't ever be booking here again. Terrible customer service and without clear explanation. For an establishment that REQUIRES a credit card pre-auth for an appt, to charge you as a customer if you cancel late, I think it's pretty ironic and hypocritical that I can be called less than 30 mins prior to my haircut and be forced to cancel it, without any restitution myself. read more

I've been getting serviced by Andreus for well over a year now and every time I leave happy with the excellent cuts he gives me. Usually my hair is difficult to deal with but he cuts in such a way that it's no problem at all! Would highly recommend and I'll be sure to come back read more

If anyone wants a crap haircut with beard trim for $72. No hair wash and done in 16mins. Terrible, joke, awful

Andreas gave my husband an amazing haircut today. He was quick and precise. We'll be booking our appointments with him from now on!

I had been pretty happy with many stylists at Rudy's over the years; however, the last 3 times were extremely disappointing. It was not the skills from these new stylists that I was frustrated with, it was their arrogance and impudence when I told them the cut given was not what I asked for. They immediately changed their attitude and blamed me for not giving them the right directions or showing the right pictures. (Had they spent more than 2 mins consulting and confirming, they would have understood what was asked, as it was done numerous times in the past with other stylists w/o any issues.) I was not one of those difficult, entitled, and cheap clients, I only politely expressed my disappointment, and still tipped over 20% for their time; yet they responded with such rudeness and hostility. read more

I live out of state in Alaska and I fly to Seattle just to get my hair cut and colored by Jessie at Rudy's. She is incredible, she's so personable and her calm friendly demeanor always puts me at ease. Additionally, her professional knowledge and skill level are truly unparalleled. She had given me some of the best haircuts and color work I've ever received in my life, and I will continue to book appointments with her forever. She always has a way of taking my idea and making it better, and asking the right questions to make sure I'm satisfied with the outcome. Book an appointment with Jessie at Rudy's, you won't regret it! She is the best of the best. read more
