Elijaz was my barber and he took his time which is very unique and hard to find. He spent an hour and 10 on a 45 min cut. Trimmed my beard and didn't charge me extra. This is the quality of haircut and customer service you search for. Don't go elsewhere just go here. Locally owned. Locals employed and supports kids with haircuts. (I'm just some random kid from Seattle that walked in) read more

The Barber Lounge - Haircut - Barbers Near Me - Fife, Washington

I've been on the hunt for a new barbershop for my five year old son as our previous place just wasn't doing his hair the way I wanted, multiple times in a row. I found TBL on Yelp (as one does) and decided to give it a try because it's close to home. Appointments are required, so I made one about two weeks out for a Sunday morning. It's in secluded area, with a nice big parking lot. The shop is clean and modern and very bright. Everyone here is super nice. Rae did my son's hair and she did a great job (next time I'm gonna ask for a little more off the back because that boy's cowlick is INSANE). He was super happy with the cut and so was I. It's definitely pricier than what we usually pay, but her attention to detail and overall patience with him was worth it. My onlyyy irritation was that we were running on a super time crunch that day and we booked our appointment for 10 as it says appointments were required. Rae let me know when we got there that she was running a little behind and didn't even start cutting my son's hair til 10:30. Eeeek. For all I know the situation could've been out of her hands (maybe her previous client was late, I don't know) so I was gracious about it, but I wish I would've gotten a text or something so I wasn't sitting there with my antsy five year old for half an hour before he was seen. That said, I still plan on booking my son with her again and hope the late start was just a one off. :) read more

This place is a hidden gem, fair prices for a great cut, place is clean with a nice but different vibe then your normal shop, I've been going to great clips for years and it's always a crap shoot with getting good haircuts.This place is a little pricey ($32 for cut) but that's the world we live in. My barber listened, took his time and made me feel very comfortable. I'm going to be coming here from now on for my cut and beard trim. Highly recommended. read more

Scheduled a last minute appointment with Deuce, he did an amazing job on a much needed skin fade

I have been coming here for my barber needs for about 6 years. Rae is my go-to and also has been doing my sons hair (10) since he was 4. She's got the incredible professional skills you're looking for to get a proper cut and fade in any style. I would never go to anyone else. Albert, the owner, is a highly established professional and well known and respected in the industry as a barber and a teacher. Any barber here at this location will never disappoint. This place is one of a kind. The vibe is super chill and relaxed and always solid conversation. read more

I've been going to this place for 8 years now. Rae is really good & she's good at what she do. I can say the same thing about the other barbers as well. But They're always fully booked so make sure you book an appointment. read more

I booked an appointment for a haircut and beard trim online, as requested by the business. The earliest available was on a Monday and, despite the times not being optimal for me, I took what they had available. 5-10 minutes after booking on the site, I received an additional e-mail confirmation from the business to confirm my appointment. I took time off of work to drive over there and arrived 15 minutes early. Walking out in the rain, I see that the door is still clearly padlocked. When I read the hours on the shop, it notes that they're closed Monday. I check my confirmations to make sure I didn't mess something up, but no, it was correct. My appointment was confirmed for Monday. So now I'm 15 minutes early for an appointment at a place that claims to not be open that day and stuck between a rock and a hard place. I decide to call to see if I can speak to someone or maybe get a recording on an answering machine that will clear things up, but they have several different numbers between their website, Yelp, and my email confirmation. None of them result in anything productive. This wasn't my first time here and it's also not the first time I showed up before anyone who worked there with the padlock still on from the outside, so now I feel obligated to wait for at least a period of time until after my appointment would start. I ended up leaving 15 minutes after my scheduled appointment after waiting for a total of 30 minutes (on top of commute time to take time off of work), so this was a really frustrating experience. It's now been more than 3 full days since this, and I figured at some point they would reach out to apologize and/or ask if I would like to reschedule, but I haven't heard anything. I enjoyed my previous experience here, but the value of my time is extremely high for me and this was a really rough way to make a customer feel awful. read more

this place is great! Chill atmosphere and very clean. Rae cut my hair and beard and she did an awesome job! I plan to be regular client of hers now. read more

Took my 3 year old so here for his first haircut since moving here. Albert is.the.TRUTH! Immediately tried to get my son comfortable with him, chatting it up the whole time and it was so nice to see my baby relaxed! Did an excellent job with his hair and I can't wait for my other son's hair to get done soon! TBL's got me as a lifetime customer. read more

Deuce is a great barber and very friendly, cut my hair and beard. I am very pleased with his work. I recommend to everyone.

My daughter's best friend who is a 25 year old mother of two babies took her 3 year old yesterday to get his first "barber's" cut. No prices were shared with her or posted! Fyi she had her 3 year old and 9 month old with her as she is a single mother. The barber charged her $60!!! Btw he already had short hair. It was literally a quick 10 minute trim! Totally ripped her off! $60!!!! It's Fife! The shop is located in an old run down strip mall! She literally walked in from the street since the apartment that she just moved into last week is behind the barbers. The apartments help low income families. She is a single mom who was totally taken advantage of. She is too timid to say something. So I am for her! This happened yesterday on June 1. On our way home today (6/2) from grocery shopping I stopped by and shared my disdain with one of the barbers who happened to be present yesterday when she had come in with the kids. He actually remembered her coming in, but did not cut her son's hair. Guess what? It doesn't matter! You all work there! You all should know better than charge $60 to trim a 3 year old's hair! You took advantage of a young mom. Shame on you!! You are not some high end barber shop in downtown Seattle or Bellevue! You are in a crappy strip mall in Fife! Don't ever do that again to someone! It's messed up on so many levels! Bad business practice! Do better! read more

5-Star Barber Shop all around! I always use Erick and he never disappoints, but any of the guys or Rae (the female barber) have never sent someone out of here with a bad cut that I've seen! Basically saying I would not hesitate to use another barber if Erick couldn't get to me when I need a cut! The service is top notch and can't be beat around here. From the vast array of services offered to the retro/modern style of the inside The Barber Lounge is the go to place in The Fife / Tacoma area! They are closed on Mondays so be advised of that. Also I would highly suggest making an appointment whether you call and book ahead or find the link for the different barbers on their instagrams once you start seeing them regularly! ***RECOMMEND RECOMMEND RECOMMEND*** read more

Nice little barber shop in downtown Tacoma. I appreciate being able to make an appointment online. Nice job but quite expensive. Not especially friendly but not "not friendly", I think that's just the Tacoma vibe. read more

I had such a great experience here, I walked in on a Sunday with no appointment just as a walk-in and I was able to get squeezed in for a cut. Damien took me on and all I had to do was wait an extra hour and it was worth it. We had a great conversation and learned more about the area and the business and how everything was formed together. Beautiful atmosphere and great energy and vibes with the staff there. For the future I will be making appointments and all I can say is that this was a great experience for myself and will come here from now on for my cuts. TLDR: lines are straight, patient and are very knowledgeable read more

Moved back to the Seattle/Olympia area back in 2018. I have been going to TBL since then. Rae gives consistent quality haircuts. I moved to Seattle 2 years ago and I make the drive down to Fife every two weeks because there is no one that I trust will always dial me in week to week. She is super flexible with scheduling. I can always count on her to get me taken care of. read more

TBL has the most Professional and genuine people. Albert cut my son's hair and it was refreshing to hear him have a conversation with my son the whole time he was cutting his hair, and also greeted everyone the second they came through the door. Very professional, very talented, and absolutely an expertise with his craft. read more

Tino is the best. I love this place because of the banter and fun between the barbers. Everyone is friendly and funny plus they are damn good with line ups. read more

Packed schedule- worth the wait! Quality haircut, pleasant barbers, relax vibe - totally out weights the 30 minute delay. I will be back! Needing a last minute haircut for my son, I was able to find business hours, open reservation times, and booking needs all online in a matter of minutes. All of this is a huge plus for a super buy mom who wants to get things done without having to call and speak to someone directly. I booked the barber named Erick- based on Yelp reviews- and was completely pleased with the entire experience. My son and I arrived arrived about 10 minutes to reservation time, and were greeted immediately upon entering. Open floor plan concept, so Erick immediately knew we arrived. Every barber had someone in their chair, and all waiting couches were full. My son finally sat in the barber chair at a little after 11:30am (30 minutes behind). I am not great at describing guys cuts, but Erick listened to everything I wanted to accomplish and he produced great results. Super pleased, will be back despite the long drive (from Kent) with the possibility we will be there longer than we anticipate. read more

Awesome place to get a haircut and shave! Chill and comfortable atmosphere. These barbers are on their game always learning and improving which I appreciate and I find to be quite rare for barbers. John does amazing work. He is easy to schedule with and is considerate and understanding when something comes up needing to reschedule. Never liked getting a haircut before I started coming here. read more

I was very disappointed with the Barber Lounge and Yelp my visit on October 17, 2020 turned out not too pleasant. I read the review and made sure it stated that I could do walk ins as I had my 2 Grandsons needing haircuts and I also checked the time they were open which was stated 10am. I pulled up at a little before noon and the place was dark and the sign in the window stated they opened at 10am. Also posted on the door "by appointment only" I was not happy and decided to leave a little message on their answering machine, imagine my surprise when someone answered the phone and when I turned my head I noticed I was talking to the lady in the car next to me! I did tell her they need to update Yelp and I noticed tonight they did do that. I will never go back to this barber shop, can't count on when they would be open, by the way it does still say it opens at 10am on Saturday's read more

I was in search of a new barber, due to my old shop taking a turn for the worse. Came in, everyone was friendly and nice, hving a good time. The place is casual, but maintains a professional and clean look. Music choice is relaxing, seems to be mostly LoFi. Everyone was talking with each other and keeping the customers happy. My barbers name was John, and he helped me work out a cut that a lot of people have done wrong on me before. Turned out great, and I'll definitely be going back. The only con to this place is that it's off I5 by Fife, which can have absolutely terrible traffic at times. Definitely worth the traffic though. read more

Albert and his barbers are second to none, professional young barbers. I can say that he is constantly booked, one has to make an appoint at least two weeks in advance. He does offer walk in service, but my suggestion is to call ahead of time and make an appointment. He's a young man with a lot of talent and I can say his staff are as talented as he is. Give him a try, but remember to call, he will accommodate you as best as possible. read more

I was here last week and it was my first experience of that type. Very interesting place, great costumer service. I liked the haircut but pricing was a little bit high ( thats my opinion )) Would recommend that place if you want to get a great personalize haircut! read more

I brought my 5 year old son here to get a haircut after 2 years of growing his hair out. I was so nervous because the last time he had gotten a haircut the barber cut more than I asked.

This place is a hidden gem. The barbers are all great. Make sure you have an appointment as they are always busy. But you can see why when you arrive. They know their stuff. Albert has put a great team of barbers. I love the atmosphere there. It took me 5 years to find a great barber shop since moving from CA to WA. I am glad I found the Barber Lounge. Mrs. Young is also a phenomenal barber. Great cuts on every person that walks out of there. read more

I've been looking for a place to get my haircut in the Tacoma Lakewood area. I've been to a couple of different business but have not felt that "Wow" factor. I read the positive reviews of The Barber Lounge. I was impressed by the reviews. I called a couple of days before & made an appointment with John. When I arrived for my appointment John was waiting for me & ready to go. Very nice guy & asked a lot of questions seeing that this was my first visit here but will not be my last. John was very meticulous with my hair cut. I was very impressed with his style. This business is a Barber style establishment & conversations going on with other Barber's & customers. I'm not much of a talker but it was interesting to listen. All in all I would "Highly" recommend this business for your haircut. Oh . . . The price was more than reasonable for John's time & results. Very impressed !! read more

John is an artist in the hair biz. His work is impeccable. He is the epitome of the profession, barber. Highly recommend

A barber named Angel put me in his line when I walked in on a busy day near closing. He could have said nothing and I would have left since they were full, but all the barbers tried figuring something and Angel spoke up and gave me a spot. Ended up giving me one of the best haircuts I've ever gotten. I now have a new barber that was sent from Heaven. His is name is Angel read more

Rae gives a great haircut! She's super thoughtful and really listened to try and figure out exactly how I wanted my hair to be cut. Highly recommend The Barber Lounge. read more

A bad review is like baking a cake with all the best ingredients and having someone sit on it.

I have a great experience every time I come in. All the barbers I've had do a great job. I've recently started making my appointments with Peter, the cut always turns out exactly how I ask. Unlike some other places when you ask for something and they cut it however they want. I highly recommend the barber lounge. read more

We love Rae - she has a great app for booking online and does great men's cuts!

I contacted my son's fav Barber and found out he had moved to a new place. Asked if he had any openings and luckily he had a spot at 10 a.m. we drove about 40+ mins to see my son's fav Barber! With in an hour his cut was done and son was happy again! Peter is worth it! read more

Angel took my husband in last minute and took his time, it's the best haircut my husband has gotten. Definitely worth the drive & price. Great vibe & the staff are super friendly! read more

The Barber Lounge is a cut above the rest. Great atmosphere and dedicated professionals left me extremely satisfied with my hair cut.
