TLDR: Prices on the wall are completely misleading, basically got scammed. I came to t.brooks to get the hair on the sides of my head faded and cleaned up. Walking in, I was greeted by Tony, who was quite friendly and gave me a solid haircut. The place was decorated quite nicely, and overall the place was small, but cozy. My main issue was the fact that the prices here were completely misleading! On Google, there was a sign which said that regular cuts were $20, a sign which I saw still posted on the inside of the shop. I would've thought that I could depend on the signs on the wall of the store to be accurate and that I didn't have to confirm the price of the haircut, but apparently I should have since I was charged over twice as much, a total of $43 for a quick 20 minute shape up of the sides of my head which I could've gotten literally anywhere. Nothing fancy, no scissors needed, 43 bucks for a quick buzz and fade of not even my entire head. I most definitely will not be coming back here. While not advertising the prices is one thing, completely misleading the customer on pricing is absolutely not acceptable. read more

I recently started going to Tony and really appreciate the fact that he listens. He cut my hair the way I wanted, and there weren't any surprises when I looked in the mirror. Actually, the very first time I went, he noticed my concern and gave me the mirror to watch as he cut my hair. (I've had some bad experiences, folks.) I also love the fact that the barbershop environment is professional. I hate going to a shop where the barbers play music with offensive language, etc. I mean, listen to whatever you want in your free time, but it's a business and all clients should be made to feel comfortable. I hate looking for a new barber, so I'm really happy I tried this shop! read more

I aint gonna lie bro hes a nice guy but sucks at cutting hair he needs more training no offense but its true bro

Just moved to Columbia City and super nervous about trying out a new barber. My haircut is very simple and quick yet so many barbers get it very WRONG! Tony listened to everything I was looking for and got it right on the first time. I've been going every 2 weeks ever since. It's hard to find a quality barber so I'm grateful to have found mine. read more

Great cut! Tony did a great job and is just an all around nice guy. I was only in for a few days from San Francisco and I needed a haircut. He fit me in and gave me a nice fade. Reasonable prices and great quality of service. Thanks again! read more

OMG, what happened to my hair. I was looking forward to getting a new haircut, I grew my hair out because the last barber messed it up so bad I had to wait 1 1/2 months so my hair was long enough again. I check out all the reviews and saw T.Brooks on yelp and decided to try this place out. Well showed up and said hi to Tony and his shop with his Pops was pretty cool and chill loved the location in the middle of Columbia City and pictures of History up on the walls. Tony was chill and easy to talk with, so I looking forward to my cut. Told Tony I wanted Mid Fad with Distressed / Messy / Spike on top, basically, I want to put some product in my hair and go, I showed him a few pics of what I wanted. He said the fade was no problem but messy or distress spike he would try, this made me nervous. Once he was done I was not happy and worked with him to try to fix it, when he showed me the final product it was uneven and completely not what I asked for, he also had no hair product so we could see how the final cut would look like. I finally left because I did not want to lose any more hair, he kept cutting higher on the sides, I went from Mid Fade to High Fade with something that resembled a long hair flat top. When my wife saw the cut she said it looked like something from 90's when you buzz the sides super short and leave the top long and do a side part. I would not recommend this place if you have anything other then a basic Fade, any other cut please go somewhere else. I am going to have to grow my hair out again and try another barber. Side note: Who has ever heard of a barber that does not have hair product to put in your final cut (pomade, cream, mousse) something. read more

t.brooks quality cuts - Notice how the fade is not even on each side, not able to really show how flat the top part of the hair cut was with this picture. - Men's Hair Salons Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I came in for a first time cut. Tony was able to get me in same day. The cut was quick, but it wasn't what I was used to. I'm used to a tapered fade, a freehand cut with a scissor shape-up and razor line. My cut came with guards, no scissors and no razor. Tony could not have been nicer and it was clear that he cares about his customers and his business. I have had much worse cuts, but I've also had better. If I lived in the neighborhood, I think I could settle in here, but I think I could probably find a tighter fade closer to home. I was quoted $30 and charged $35, I don't know why, but again, based on the same day appointment, I just paid without incident. That area has to be competitive, so the fact that he's doing well, speaks to the fact that they have earned the communities trust. My cut however was not worth $35. read more

Nice guy, but I've never heard off a "soft line up" until he insisted on giving me one a few months back. Coming to a professional I expect something beyond what I can do at home with my liners. The rest of the fade was okay, not great. 2 days later it didn't look like I had a recent cut at all. Coming from LA, definitely used to tighter smoother fades, with crisper line ups. read more

Been in the area for 2 years and have struggled to find a good barber. Came across this place on Google and decided to check it out. It was a great experience. Tony was very attentive and gave me the best haircut I've had in a while. It is a nice father-son small business and had a comfortable atmosphere. I almost gave up looking for a good barber but glad I came across this place. read more

Amazing place. Not your average barbershop... Everything about this place is warm and welcoming. Took my little brother and he loved it. The hair cut was quick and nice. Definitely recommend it, will be coming back soon. 10/10 experience. read more

A barber for the whole family! My fiancé has been going to t.brooks for a while so when my nephew needed a cut we took him here. Tony is so great with kids and makes everyone look amazing. Will only be coming here from now on! read more

The Barber is a nice guy, but he completely ignored the haircut I asked for. I mean completely and then fought me when I tried too correct him on the style. Weird experience!! Had to get another cut two days later. Just weird experience!!!Nice guy though. read more

Above market rate for below market value. I clearly stated what I wanted and the barber(son) totally disregarded my request and gave me a totally different look. He wasn't apologetic about it and still charged me full price. Which is above market! I needed another haircut somewhere else. The shop wasn't clean and I doubt the equipments are sanitized. Very sketchy operation they have here. read more

I came here for my first cut since covid quarantine started. I called ahead and Tj started me on time which I appreciate. They hand sanitizer and temperature checks required. I got a great skin fade, kept the front natural and trimmed the top. Professional and relaxing cut. I'll be back. read more

Stopped by Taco City for some food and ran into my new barber. Good environment. Great cut!

Professional. Great atmosphere. And clean haircuts. I've seen Tony Jr twice and been super happy with my cut both times. My skin is sensitive, but it wasn't enflamed or irritated either time even with a super close shave. I also have a bunch of cowlicks that make my hair grow all different directions, he takes careful attention and time to make sure I have an even cut! Highly recommend!! read more

I would highly recommend this barbershop. Tony is professional and takes his time cutting your hair. I always leave his chair with a fresh cut I'm proud to show off. read more

I'm traveling from the bay area, and did a Google search for barbers in the area. Fortunately for me, I was only 1.2 miles away. Tony paid attention to what I was looking for, and superman delivered! So now I don't feel pressured to get it cut before I leave home. I'll definitely be back! read more

Tony is on point! Makes you feeling fresh and looking on point. He's super friendly, has great conversation and most importantly does a stellar job with the cuts. I've tried a lot of barbers in Seattle and I've finally found one that I'll be coming back to. This was my fist time there and definitely won't be my last. The vibe of the place it great too. Tony came through with the skin fade right before my trip to HI. read more

As a recent D.C. transplant in Seattle, it was imperative for me to find the best barber in my new city. After some research, I landed at 9000 Barbershop, and I'm happy to say that I didn't have to look elsewhere. I'm 1 for 1 in the new city. Tony was confident, professional, and talented. He knew exactly what I needed (Skin fade) and delivered. read more

Barber surcharged over $40 dollars. Said it was because of closing but had posted signs hours after. A surcharge for something he never explained. Posted signs for 20 dollars on the walls and ended up paying $100. Left the shop never to go again when an amazing barber j styles in down the street and honest and comes in early if you need. This guy took advantage of me and my friend, gave a shitty hair cut despite never doing business again. I'd easily take the haircut if it was honest but he scammed me. Barbara like this wonder why people never come back, and it's because we don't like to be treated like fools. I'm a thirty year old man whose probably had thousands of haircuts and I'm a fool who doesn't know a decent haircut and a fair price point? read more

He was very flexible and patient with me even though I came in late, supper friendly and kind towards all his customers. He did my brothers hair so good, my brother was looking fly asf because of him. He took the proper precautions for Covid safety before starting on my brother!! Tony is amazing, support a local black owned business! read more

Tony is the man! I flew into town for an overnight and needed a cut badly. Walked in and immediately felt like I was back at my hometown barber. Great atmosphere, good convo and lots of laughter. Tony hooked me up with a tight fade and much needed eye brow trim(who knew?!) Don't let the construction in front of the shop deter you. The tight fade is worth the walk up to the shop. When I come back through Seattle I'll definitely be back. Oh bring some cash, no cards. ;) read more

Walking down Rainier today I happened to notice this barbershop. Tony was sitting outside and said "if you ever need a haircut stop by sometime". I did need a haircut so I decided to take him up on the offer and let myself have an experience I rarely have these days....the experience of a Black barbershop. Good atmosphere, good conversation and good people. The haircut was on point with Tony asking questions and paying attention to what I asked for. I was completely at ease from the moment I walked in this place. Sadly I no longer live in Seattle but when I come back from time to time I'll be sure to come back. read more

Very personal space. Perfect for a one on one experience with your barber. Tony is great. He makes sure you walk out with the exact hair cut you want. He's one of the very few barbers in Seattle who pay attention to detail, stay attentive but gives great conversation. He can really offer some words of wisdom. The shop holds 2 chairs, a comfortable sofa for customers waiting and a flat screen that always hosts the likes of sports center. Barbershops and sports. It can't get much better than that. Unless there was beer... But I wouldn't want anybody drinking when my hair is involved. I'm new to Seattle and I found him from yelp and it was surprising to see so many great reviews! Well deserved to say the least. As long as I'm in this city I will never go to another barbershop again. You won't be disappointed coming here! read more

Friendly folks! Gave me an excellent cut and great conversation. Will definitely be back!

Nice guy, super accommodating, talented and trustworthy . Very skilled and made my boyfriend look sharp

T.Brooks Quality Cuts is hands-down the best barbershop in Seattle. Tony is a fantastic barber who takes pride in achieving the look/style you're seeking. Additionally, Tony is professional and friendly, able to spark a respectful conversation on any topic. I've received multiple compliments from men and women regarding the haircut and that just makes you feel good on a rainy day. The location is also convenient with hella parking nearby. As a result, Quality Cuts is now my permanent barber in Seattle! read more

My family and I just moved from KC to Seattle and finding a new barber was the last thing I was looking forward to doing. Finding someone who can cut mine and my son's hair (he's a toddler) is tough. Tony was fantastic. He was amazingly patient, knew exactly what kind of style we needed and held great conversation. Highly recommended! read more

Tony kept it true to his shop's name; a high quality cut! Fairly priced, great atmosphere, and a very friendly barber. I recently moved and am new to the area, so finding a good barber for fades is always a hassle. Thankfully I don't have to search any more, will definitely be coming back for future cuts ! read more

This barbershop is fantastic and I definitely recommend Tony. He was timely for our appointment, does a tight cut, great fade, was quick and reasonable. read more

Tony so kind, quick, and thoughtful! I got exactly what I wanted and will be going to him from now on. You won't be disappointed!

Thanks for the last minute cut man! Got me cleaned up before my trip to Chicago. Would come back again!

Tony is a down to earth, friendly, laid back dude. Running a clean and affordable business! He was very accommodating and great to chat with. He's a trustworthy business man and fueling positive energy for his downtown location. He's definitely got skills with the clippers too! We will be back again for sure!!! I'm happy to support local business owners, especially when they're making a difference in the community. read more

Great experience. My dude is chill, and I felt completely comfortable the entire time I was in the seat. I asked for a mid fade, and got a mid fade. Good people, and great haircuts. Thanks! read more

Came in here right after work after seeing good reviews about this place and I wasn't disappointed! Tony was real personable and was hilarious. I usually am iffy about letting anyone touch my hair but ever since I started working downtown I had to find a barber more near by. After we were done I was really impressed at my haircut everything about it was just perfect! I definitely recommend checking this spot out! read more

Tony is a great guy. Easy to talk to, realistic with appointments, and is situated in a very convenient location. My past two hair cuts have been exactly what I've been looking for and I haven't had to turn around and go back for corrections. The haircut is definitely pricey at $35 before tip compared to other places I've been to in Seattle, but given the level of service I'm comfortable with it. Don't forget to bring cash. You won't be disappointed. read more

This place is for real. Came in with two of my buddies and came out with 3 great cuts in just over an hour. Great place to go if you need a cut and dont want to make an appointment, or if you do! Tony is a real dude who's really loves what he does and it shows in his work. Definitely coming back next time I get a cut, my friends and I just found our new barber. read more
