Tim’s Barber Shop

I’m updating my review from 4 to 5 stars because after trying a few barbers in the area I find myself coming back to this place. The bang for your buck can’t be beat. If you look at my profile picture you’ll find a haircut that both of the dudes there could easily do. I feel that me and the younger guy see more eye to eye but I haven’t gotten great haircuts from the older dudes here. I might experiment a little bit more but I will make myself a regular here too from now on.

Worst haircut I’ve had in a long time. Walked in only to get a trim for a job interview… walked out with some crappy hipster faux hawk. First and last time I go there.

This place is great. Tim does good work, is easy to talk to, and keeps his prices reasonable. I do wish they offered a straight razor neck shave, but aside from that detail I cannot fault them.
Bring $ 20 cash and that should cover the cut and tip.

There are a couple different kinds of barber shops. The first one is the 8 dollar one that pretty much only does simple no style hair cuts and is fast to the point. The other is a barber shop that prides themselves in style cuts and will cost around 17 dollars. This one is the simple to the point one, but charges like a stylish one.
My reason for my low review is that he didn’t follow the directions; even when provided a picture, he was rude, the price for this type of cut is ridiculous, and he didn’t help me like a professional should. It was not even busy in there.
Overall pretty disappointed in this place. I don’t have a lot of money to spend so I am stuck with this cut for the next month. I thought I would save 3 – 5 dollars and switch from Raven to this place. Raven was awesome and if you are going to have someone cut your hair for 17 dollar you might as well go to a place that will spend time making sure you get the quality cut you deserve.

One of the worst haircuts I’ve ever had. I should’ve known better; I was in here on a busy Saturday and the only guy working was just cranking people out in about 10 minutes. I have patches all over that were not cut evenly. I went here instead of ACME to try and save $ 12 but it was not worth it, especially because I’m probably going to have to get it touched up somewhere else.

I’ve been trying to find a good barber since I moved to the area. I struck out once. This shop didn’t disappoint. He took it as low as he could with the clippers.
Nice and low as it should be.
No wait either
But remember
Cash only

No nonsense! Just good quality cuts.
Never going back to Rudy’s.

Change my review since I realized every place in Seattle has a $ 17 price tag. So if you are agoing to spend 17 $ on a haircut in Seattle, this is def the place to come.

Simply, the best barber shop i have experienced in the U.S. They really understand what you want. Plus, you’re not gonna pay to much of money! Thumbs up

Great haircut and beard trim for a reasonable price. As stated previously, this is a no frills, old school shop that will give you the cut you ask for.

Moved to the 15^th St area of the Hill back in 2011 and Tim’s was the first place I went for a cut. Been coming here ever since. Always have had a great job done and what I really like is the convenient hours they’re open. No gimmicks needed here, just a great home town barbershop! Thanks guys!

Decent, but expensive hair cut. The playboy magazines in the waiting room were nice. They only take cash, so make sure you bring some! I think the price is actually average considering the location. Haircuts on Capitol Hill are expensive. Also, I know this barber has probably been cutting hair for years and can do it in his sleep, but I do not like it when the barber feels distracted by a T.V., and he was watching T.V. the entire time. Also having cheeky conversations with people waiting, I felt like a captive audience to their loud boorish conversations. That said, the haircut was super clean and fresh. ³⁄₅ stars.

Husband needed a haircut before work, and we saw this place on Unilocal.Street parking was pretty easy to find. The man who runs the store, I’m assuming Tim, was very competent, efficient, and did an excellent job cutting his hair. He did a great job cleaning up his neck, face, and sideburns. And to top it off, he vacuumed off all of that pesky hair, that would definitely irritate someone who was heading to work. My husband was so pleased, he’s decided to make Tim’s his regular barber.

Plain and simple, I love going here for a cut. This is a no nonsense barber shop with great, no nonsense service. Clean, inexpensive, quick and friendly service every time so far. I don’t think I’ve waited more than 20 minutes to get a chair, and that was once. If you want a quick hair cut done the way you want, I think these are your guys.

I moved here from NYC and was used to finding hole-​in-​the wall barbershops with cheap haircuts (my haircut is very simple, nothing fancy) but since going here I’ve upgraded to Rudys. The guy barely listened to what I wanted, was rude, watched TV the whole time and I think it might be the only bad haircut I’ve had in my entire life (and it’s pretty hard to botch up my standard, short, boy haircut). Hate to leave one star but it was my experience.

Will never have my husband go here again. The guy just took a raiser and shaved his head. My husband has never had his hair shaved and communicated that he wants a hair cut, NOT a shaved head.
The guy also did a crooked backline! At least if you are shaving the head, do it properly!
Very unimpressed. Will never go back!

I’ve visited many barber shops in Seattle (every corner has a barber shop in this city), but would highly recommend this particular shop considering its pricing and quality.

Oh Tim’s. Everyone was nice, service was quick, and the price was fine. Though I the white-​haired gentleman, kind as he was, was too quick on the draw. I gave simple instructions for my cut: a trim. To be more specific I supplemented; short on the sides and longer on top.
I can cut my own damn hair it’s so simple, but the rear looks a little ragged and I wanted to treat myself to a cleaner experience. The cut I received was a dramatic damn rearrangement; way shorter than anticipated, and my part was totally moved. Don’t get me wrong: I know what’s important in life. The Seahawks winning is important (which they’d just done when I went in– maybe my guy was hell of distracted). Public service is important. Obeying (most) laws and drinking tequila in hot weather; those are important. Fucking with a man’s part is not right. Should be illegal. Is illegal! He shaved it down and I looked like a bird for two months.
Public disservice, that cut. Worst cut I“ve had since my mother used to give me bowl cuts in grade school. They were clean though ;)

No frills, straightforward, quick trim. 10 – 15 minutes of cutting, a quick vacuuming, and I was out with a haircut that I liked. All for $ 17 — not too bad of a price, considering it’s a convenient location for me. It definitely had an old-​timey feel to it, which was unique. I enjoyed it.

Are you a big fan of having your hair cut by ladies in low cut tops? Do you think a cut should cost more than a pair of sneakers? Do you think a haircut should be accompanied by a shampooing, lots of fancy creams and gels, and maybe a massage afterwards?
If you answered yes to any of these questions — do not go here.
If you want a simple, no frills haircut by an old school barber who knows what he’s doing — go see Jim.
