As a veteran I have had the pleasure of getting my haircut from a plethora of barbers/hair stylist from all of the world. After a year of searching for the right place I decided to get on Yelp to find the highest rated places around town. Ironically enough, that is how I found Kevin. I can assure you it is not by accident Tony's Barber shop is (at the time of writing this review) 5 out 5 stars . Kevin is the most down to earth and personable barber you will find in Seattle. He brings a level of care and precision to his craft you won't find anywhere else! Why? Because Kevin is a genuine human being who sincerely cares about his customers. No sir, you will not get an "in & out" super cut here. Kevin is not in it for the profits or expansion. He is honestly trying to make a living providing a quality service. Kevin even uses what spare time he does have to assist the homeless around the surrounding area to get back on their feet in any way he can. If that is the type of business you would like to support, please stop in and see this man. You will not be disappointed! I only hope I can find more personable business such as this! read more

Tony's Barber Shop - Fresh cut by Kevin at Tony's Barber Shop - Barbers Near Me - Shoreline, Washington

Place is horrible asked for a mid fade lady chopped my hair and my beard left it uneven wouldn't recommend. Never agin will I come here

Drove out here to get a cut from a classic barber shop, only to see the owner Tony not wearing a mask. We are now nearly 3 years in to a pandemic & his page claims to be following protocols. I'm high risk and can't even go in. 0/10 read more

I am updating my review because I just went back and Kevin was forced to raise his prices for a beard trim and hair cut. This is understandable and most likely my fault because after my review 6 months ago I guess 25 or so guys scheduled beard trims and only gave him 6 dollars with no tip. Shame on you people don't you know to tip the barber? Kevin has updated his service to be 18 dollars for a beard trim and haircut combo (still a great deal). I will continue coming to Kevin for the foreseeable future. read more

If you are looking for a traditional barbershop this is the place. Kevin is very good with his clippers and scissors. Has a great attention to detail and professionalism about his craft. The High Fidelity stereo he has is amazing and plastic the best oldies. Make sure you bring cash and call and make an appointment. read more

Definitely a unique experience in Seattle. Chic 60's style, single chair, excellent hair cut (with scissors!), and genuinely quirky/funny conversation- Kevin is quite a character! In addition to providing a fine hair cut (which he points out will impress your girlfriend- *wink*), he sings along with and provides commentary on just about all the hits of the 70's, 80's, 90's, and today, tells you why his shop is still listed as "Tony's" and what happened to Tony, grumbles about the online radio signal quality, and knows quite a bit about quite a bit. I've never seen porno mags (sitting in an "adults only" wall file) in a barber shop. He's got some rules and you should stick to 'em: -Call if you're running late -Call before your appointment starts if you need to cancel. If you don't call to cancel, he'll charge you the full cost of the missed appointment if you try to book with him again -Walk-ins aren't likely to be served right away. Much better to make an appointment -Tip your barber (he doesn't outright say this, but guys- check out his prices and do the right thing) The one star off is for talking smack about his other customers. From the conversation and multiple signs on the wall, I gather that he is easily offended by the myriad ways that people are disrespectful and he will likely talk about you and your disrespectful ways if you are one of those people. So, another suggested rule if you grace his shop: Don't be a jerk. read more

I took the hubby to Tony's Barber Shop for the very first time today, based solely on the Yelp reviews for the shop. He's job hunting right now, so--while I normally trim his hair and beard myself--we decided to get his hair/beard done professionally this time, just to make sure he was extra-neat and spiffy. Bottom line: we fell in love with Kevin right off the bat, and we'll definitely be back! :) Beyond that, the other reviews here seem to be spot-on! On top of bring cash/be polite about making and keeping appointments/don't be rude in his establishment ... which should be the rules in most places ... Kevin is a great barber, and we found him quite fun to talk to, too. He also did an EXCELLENT job on my husband's mid-length beard! Oh, and--while we were talking--I discovered that Kevin apparently helps out some of the homeless men in the neighborhood with haircuts sometimes, too ... so I made sure to give him an extra-good tip just to make sure he's able to continue that service to the more misfortunate in our area. It spoke well of him as a person, too! Bottom line: we'll definitely be back! :) read more

Kevin took over for Tony and does a great job. Friendly to another level. Kevin makes everyone welcome and never lacks for conversation. High value for your money. read more

Wow!! I booked an appointment for my husband while visiting from Vancouver BC. I'm a hairstylist and the only one who has cut my husband's hair for years. This time, I didn't have the time to do it. I'm picky about his cuts and we were both nervous about a new place. Kevin is not only technically one of the best barbers I've seen but he's just so cool too. Unassuming non hipster shop where the conversation just flowed easily like we had all known each other for years. You don't get service like that often. His skill as a barber is awesome and I both my husband and I agreed, his cut is A+. Check Kevin out. He's truly one of a kind. read more

For an old fashioned professional Barber go see Kevin at Tony's Barber Shop next to Fred Meyer in Shoreline. Great old fashion hi fi stereo to entertain you and funny conversations to amuse you. Barber Shop experiences today with a real Master Barber (not a Cosmetologist) are hard to come by. Enjoy the experience and have a good laugh or two. read more

Great haircut, great conversation, and unusually excellent customer service. I needed a haircut for an event the next day and when I found my usual spot unexpectedly closed I decided to try out Tony's. I really like my usual spot, but after experiencing Kevin's otherworldly customer service, I'm hooked. On top of great service and conversation, you can also expect a great haircut. read more

A good haircut at a good price. The laughs are free! You can go anywhere and get a run-of-the-mill haircut. But if you want your hair cut by a trained, licensed honest-to-goodness professional barber, Kevin is your guy! Kevin is not only a great barber but he is armed with a great sense of humor and a gift for storytelling. Haircuts are by appointment only, but that's a plus! It's just you and your barber. If you want conversation Kevin is a fun guy to talk to and he can talk on just about any topic. On the other hand, if you just want to relish a few minutes of peace and quiet, Kevin is hip to that, too. Just kick back and enjoy a few minutes of tranquility in your day. read more

Kevin is incredibly detail oriented, exceptionally clean, and always provides wonderful customer service. Precisely what you want in a barber. read more

Kevin is a nice guy who truly cares. He understands that while he might not be able to get you in when you walk in the door, and you may be disappointed, take his suggestion and come back on appointment. He doesn't want to rush the current client. Both the current client and you, the door-walker-inner-turned-appointment-holder will be appreciative in the long run. I just came back and got my first cut from Kevin and am very pleased. I'll definitely be back. And at $18 PLUS tip (TIP YOUR FUCKING BARBER, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, YOU CHEAP ASSES!) he's a helluva deal. Would have cleaned up my messuva beard if I'd had time. read more

An actual barber. Not a salon or cheap haircut place with "Barber" in the name, an actual bonified barber shop. It's what you imagine when you think of a Barber Shop. Great music playing, simple decor, good conversation in a relaxed environment. A lot of people hit on it when they say it's a great VALUE. And yes it is appointment ONLY. read more

Kevin is a great barber. He does a very good job cutting hair. It is best, most days, to call ahead and make an appointment. Kevin schedules appointments on the half-hour. If you call, he will answer the phone and schedule you. Highly recommend! read more

Recently moved to Shoreline and needed a new barber, found Kevin from all the amazing reviews online and decided to pay him a visit. Got an amazing haircut for an incredible price, definitely found my new barber. Highly recommend this spot. read more

Kevin is great barber. He treats his customers with respect and knows what he's doing. The experience of getting a haircut from him is much better than going to one of those other chain stores. I've been to those chain salons and they're motto is to get you in and out as quick as possible so they can get to the next customer. Unlike those other stores, Kevin is not about getting you in and out as quick as possible. He makes you feel relaxed, at ease, and he's focused on getting your to look good. read more

It's been a long time since I've had a haircut that I'm really satisfied with. Kevin took the time to understand my hair type, and talk to me about what I was looking for. He's a great conversationalist, even with only the two of us in the shop. The time passed quickly and pleasantly. In the end, I couldn't be happier with my cut. I'm his newest regular customer. read more

Here is a man who cares about who he is, what he says and how he cuts hair. A true journey, music from a restored, top of the line, cabinet stereo from the 60's. A defender of right and honor a teacher of wisdom and common sense. A person who puts the hero cape on you as he models the image that fits you..... Are you getting the point don't miss out on this experience. read more

Kevin is great guy, barber and good laugh. He can talk intellegently about a number of subjects, all while giving a great haircut

The barber was nice very talkative. The haircut not so great, I live down the block but won't be returning.
