A stable of professional trendsetters who are masters of hair care. Been a customer for years. Everyone leaves better than they arrived. I get a fade every month. No wasted time or motion. Make an appointment or walk in😉

If youre looking for the best fade in Seattle, Rick is the best. I came to Acme based off reviews and will never go anywhere else. Great price for the quality of haircut and its a clean and friendly place. A++

Excellent service and skill. Im so glad I discovered this place. Every time I leave, I feel fabulous. Awesome place for the perfect low maintenance, high fashion style.

My experience with a haircut is a story of pain and hilarity, both inside and outside a barber or shop. It involves limited curiosity defeating some vanity.I had gotten a butchered haircut; I wont say where - I hate leaving bad reviews. I walked in early. I observed Naomi Dixon can cut short or long hair with skill and attention. I saw a man walk out with a balanced, precision cut, and she made sure he liked it before leaving. She fixed my rat pile of randomness, and I greatly appreciate it. I dont know if anyone will publish my short, it has God in it, but my Pastor would read it and laugh. Thats good enough. Gotta like Naomi.

You never have to sacrifice on either cost, speed or quality when you to see Rick at Acme Barbershop. It takes me a while to find a barber that meets my criteria when I move to a new city. Since I’ve had Rick cut my hair four years ago, I’ve never tried another barber since. I recommend him strongly.

The vibe of the place is good. Clean, good equipment, good decor, etc. The prices are reasonable, especially given the quality of service. And the staff is friendly and professional.Ive received three haircuts here and have been happy with each one. Naomi Dixon is a great hairstylist. She does a thorough job and is a pleasure to be around. Overall one of the best barber shops Ive been to. Would definitely recommend.

Johnny has been cutting my hair for a couple of years now. In short he’s fantastic! My hair has a bit of a mind of its own but he knows how to tame it and I’ve never had a bad cut. He does a great fade and is very detail oriented. He’s good people too so you know you’re going to have a fun conversation while he’s working away.

Previous barber moved, had to find a new place, and this is it. Had Naomi, she did an awesome job and did exactly what the picture showed. Will be returning!!

Love this shop, everyone is always friendly and experienced, Ive never had a go to barber, but Ive always walked away with a quality cut.

Rick is my go to guy and Acme Barbershop is go to place for a haircut. Walked into this place 2-3 years ago after trying out a few barbers and hairdressers in the area and never went anywhere since. Great vibe, good barbers.

Really liked the hair cut and the barber was very nice.

Great shop, cant go wrong here. Walk-ins are usually ok, but its popular enough that calling ahead is your best bet.

Best place for a haircutI recommend Francisco Mirelez

Great haircut and stimulating conversation. Its now my go to spot for a trim. I highly recommend it!

One of the best places in capital hill. Mo is great and very detailed oriented.

Ive been getting haircuts from Francisco for over a year now. His expertise in fades is truly unparalleled. He always remembers my preferred cut and does a great job of adapting when I want try something different. Hes consistently friendly and an excellent conversationalist. In general, Acme has a warm atmosphere and solid music. I also appreciate the precautions theyve taken against COVID.

Good Haircut. This is a professional barber. They listened to what i wanted and gave it to me. I am happy with the haircut. I would have ranked it a 5 star but they made me wait outside in the cold verses letting me sit inside. This is linked to COVID but they had plenty of room to have customers who have an appointment guaranteed by a credit card sit inside. I value safety. I also value customer service. They need to look at how other businesses are handling covid.

Great barbers with all the services a person could need!

Man I went to 10 different barber shops until I found acme. My guy Rick A does great fades, I used a couple of the other barbers as well never disappointed well worth the wait and price!

Jeremy does a great job, been going to him for years.

Larsen is fantastic. As a baldo I get consistently ignored at barbers but he treats me the same if not better as my full haired brethren.

Great place friendly staff. Nicole did a great job. I will be back. Price is responsible.

This place is by far the cleanest barbershop I’ve ever been to very professional LL one of the favorite barbers all time. On top of the great location. They have a restroom for candy machine and a tv. Give this place a shout out and definitely recommended for a great place for a great cut

I went here instead of going to Rudys since I moved closer to this shop. Big mistake. I showed Johnny(the barber) a picture of my previous self, and still he managed to give me a disastrous haircut(cut the top ridiculously short) . I will have to wear a cap for three weeks so people dont laugh at me.

Friendly and efficient. Pricy, but worth it.

Barbors say they can do skin tight fades, but all they do is mess up haircut. Happend to me 2 times.

Literally the best barber shop in Seattle, I would never go anywhere else.

The right haircut can make a person feel like they can conquer the world. This is the place to get that feeling. Ive been cut by the same barber twice and each time I left extremely satisfied. Walk in and wait a few minutes its worth it.

Very clean and well within COVID-19 guidlines set by the state. Excellent buzzcut each time. Very attentive and detailed cut each time I go in.

Great place to get a cut. I see Nicole, but they are all nice people there. They treat you with professionalism, take the time talking to you to figure out exactly what you want, and they always have smiles on their faces. I dont go anywhere else anymore and I live across Seattle. Their haircut areas are cleaned constantly, and always give you a minute to look at what they have done to make sure you got what you wanted...if not they go back at it till you are satisfied. I highly recommend going here!

Worst haircut ever. I would not recommend it at all. I literally dont post reviews. The haircut made me so upset that I couldnt resist leaving a feedback.

Naomi does the job really good. My go to barber place.

Mo did a great job with my hair! Theyre very careful with respect to Covid protocols. I didnt feel worried, at all.

I came in for a buzz cut which is pretty simple and to that end it it was fine. However and this is difficult to admit I am homeless and I my hair was in really bad shape and I just wanted to get it off and Ive been waiting so long and itll wash my hair and to do other things that I thought that was going to be able to get my hair washed but not only did she not wash it before my disgusting grimy hair but she would give me no kind of water or wash after I mean she brushed it a little bit but I left feeling just not good Ill put it that way like I wish I could have just had the tools and done it myself.

Great barbers!

Great place for a great haircut! I recommend my buddy Larsen who always makes it interesting with great conversation!

Ive had good barbers give good haircuts here and I would probably still go if I lived nearby, but I do not, anymore, because the rent over there is too damn high, you know? Snip snip. Maybe if we all collectively just refused to pay absurd rents, wed have some kind of revolution on our hands, but thats impossible and a very irresponsible idea.

Have been a customer for years. Super busy at times, but can be an easy spot for quick haircuts with an old-school chalkboard style sign up for haircuts without appointments. My barber/stylist is Alyssa Monroe who is super talented and can perfectly cut my hair with her eyes closed. Not for the customer looking for fancy atmospheres, but a place with a lot of character...

Great cut for a very reasonable price. Francisco did an awesome job cutting my hair. He was very patient with me and walked me through the steps to make sure I got the cut I wanted. Ill definitely be back.

Acme is great! Nick is over the top awesome and incredible at what he does! He really took the time to understand what I liked and made sure my hair was perfect. Now I simply wont let anyone else but Nick cut my hair. Plus, the online scheduler makes it really easy to see when he is available and make an appointment him.

Did an amazing job on my boyfriends hair and made his confidence boost so much! Will be coming back again soon. About due for another cut. Thank you Acme

I was hesitant to go in to begin with since a simple cut costs $38, but it looked like they do a pretty good job so decided to give it a go. Knowing that they take walk-ins, I arrived and took a seat since all the barbers were busy. Nobody said hello or welcomed me or asked me to do anything, so I just sat down. I was the only person in the waiting area. About 15 minutes go by and another guy walks in. He walks past me and goes around a corner to an area where I cant see him. I figured hes a regular and probably has an appointment. But he came back a few seconds later and sat down. Okay, cool, hes waiting too. Well, soon enough, one of the barbers finished up and said goodbye to her client. Then she says, looking at me, Are you [name]? I say no, but the other guy speaks up and says that he is. She immediately takes him and starts working on him. In that moment, I realized he was also a walk-in! I went over to where I saw him go earlier, and thats when I noticed a walk-in sign-in chalkboard! It was out of plain view. So, right in front of both the barber and the guy who just sat in her chair (just a couple feet away), I wrote my name in chalk. Didnt faze either of them, knowing that I had been sitting there for a while already. Yes, instead of speaking up like an assertive person, I did just walk out at that point. So, two things, Acme:1. Put your chalkboard where it can actually be noticed by people who have never been there before!2. Welcome people as they walk in and make sure they know what to do. Its pretty basic customer service.None of that aloofness was worth $38, I dont care how good you are. I was willing to try it, but I wont be going back.

I almost hesitate to write this and increase my difficulty to book with this gem but she is more than deserving.Alyssa Monroe is an excellent barber. Pay attention, as of writing this review there are two Alyssa’s. My husband goes to the other and is also very happy for what it’s worth ;)Alyssa Monroe is very detailed and great to carry conversation with. Unless I love my barber I dread getting my hair cut. I also love getting my hair cut often. This is no longer a dilemma now that I have Alyssa.I have a wavy, wirey, thick head of hair and I like it to look well-faded and dapper. She is one of two barbers ever to take the time to understand a unique quirk of my hair that seemed to be impossible due to years of failed attempts by others.I truly adore her and hope she is well taken care of by the owners of this place and hope they understand her value!Thank you, Alyssa Monroe!!

Cant say Ive ever had a bad cut and lineup here. Its the only place I go now and I always see the same guy. Francisco is pretty rad guy and he remembers me and we pick up right where we left off on conversations. I really appreciate that its not one of those shops where the guys barely talk or if they do it doesnt seem they actually care. Its about time for me to go back. Really love this place

Really happy with my first cut from here. Theyre super friendly, good soundtrack (Pixies and Sonic Youth both played while I was in the chair), and she absolutely NAILED my undercut. Like 9 out of 10 barbers dont have the guts to go for the drama I want, and she got it spot on. Added to which, I walked in at 9:15 on a Monday night and out 9:30. Id been driving up to a place near UW that I liked. Still like them but thats going to be hard to justify with Acme just a couple blocks away and open such great hours.

Awesome cut, great location and an awesome barber. I am sure all the barbers are great and can give you a really great cut but the barber I entrusted took it to another level. Thanks Firas!

Tommy is a highly skilled barber, bringing classic skills to the latest game to deliver an experience unlike anything else. Great at shaves, fades and designs, Tommy will work with you to create a hairstyle that fits you both professionally and personally.

I had been dropping into Rudys on Pine and got good haircuts but never a barber I loved. They got a new online booking system that wouldnt let me make an account so I tried Acme. Like most places - your specific barber can make or break it. Acme as a shop makes it easy to walk in and even easier to book online. Prices are equivalent to many places around town. Stewart cut my hair and did a great job.

Got my haircut my Nicole, very solid experience. Nice atmosphere and welcoming staff.

Funny how I wrote a review on Yelp 2 weeks ago about a similar experience, but got no response but when someone else mentions the name of the barber then the owner actually responds. I had a pretty bad haircut here and had to go get it fixed at Rudys and wasnt offered a refund or for it to be fixed. Dont remember my barbers name. If Jeremy is a slightly heavier guy with a beard and yellow teeth then that was the same barber I overheard talking about his encounter with his client. Id also like to point out that there was also a lady(only one working at that time) swearing up down left and right as she was talking. I asked for the manager and was given blank stares even with the manager present now that I come to learn that. The owner needs to make it clear to his employees that this is a barbershop, not their local watering holes. While talking about sex acts with clients is ok if the client is all ears, I dont think its appropriate for others to have to unwillingly hear what he did the night before, and the swearing? We all swear I just dont expect it at a barber shop that charges 30+ for a haircut. I get that some clients may be friends too, and we should all be able to have a conversation with friends but again not everyone needs to be privy to that. According to the reviews on yelp and on here it doesnt seem like this is the place for children either. Not going to waste my time and money here anymore just wanted to warn people.

I know that a woman walking into a Barber Shop is like the beginning of a joke... but I read great reviews so decided to give it a go.Naomi did a great job and such a cool chic to talk too! And I loved even more that it was done dry.... cut to how my hair falls when I style it, not to how they THINK it should fall!Thanks Naomi!!!

Growing up I had a family barber who turned his own garage into a barbershop. Going there was fun for me even though I was just a kid. The mans name was Russel and he died when I was 18 years old. The man had pictures of all his regular customers throughout the ages, and when he passed I tried to find another place to get my haircut. I tried several places but it just didnt feel the same, but then one day I came to this barbershop and for some reason I got the same nostalgic feeling I once got in Russs barbershop and have made this place my main barbershop.They do good work and I thank them for cutting my hair just right.

I am not from Seattle and was in town needing a haircut. I stopped into Acme and had a great experience. Jeremy was my barber I like the fade and definatley be coming back when I am in town. I especially like the location and the the openness of the shop. Thank you for the confidence boost, I always feel good after a good haircut.

DO NOT GO HERE!!! they dont know how to use a razor blade. They have no respect for their customers. They have no barber skills. they butchered my beard, cut me everywhere, they dont use CLEAN/ NEW blades, they dont even sanitize their blades or towels. I have gash cuts on my neck, and BOTH cheeks. Keep in mind I was at my regular barber 4 days ago, its not that hard to follow an existing beard line and just clean up the scruff.

Bobby was everything I never knew I needed in a barber! He fixed a previous haircut for me and was very easygoing/understanding of the whole process. His chair talk was also on point! Overall relaxed atmosphere. Would recommend!

Amazing place! Johnny does amazing work!

Great place, great cut. Jeremy did a fabulous job. He knows how to make you look your best.

Absolutely horrible experience, rude service, my barber couldnt even do a simple fade, and for the astronomical price they charge youd think they would actually be able to deliver on that. Not to mention one of their barbers Jeremy is a loud mouth and overshares his sexual escapades in great detail with his clients, its great that hes so open about his sexual life but use your inside voice I dont need to know about the load you took from some hot ginger. Wont ever be coming back here again, management needs to make sure some level of professionalism is present. I get better service and results at a cheap barbers shop. Dont normally review stuff but this experience was just enough to push me over the edge.

In the wide pool of barbers available in this city, my husband definitely prefers this shop. Being the picky and super detail-oriented that my husband is, he really likes how Rick Adams understands his requirements and then works his magic. My husbands all smiles after a nice 45 min session of haircut and beard trim.

I’ve gotten okay cuts here, but it’s overpriced. The inconsistency of the cuts should made them $20, like normal barber rates. You don’t get what you pay for here. I’m not sure if Salvatore is still working, but I recommend you avoid him. He’s moody and he takes out his personal problems on customers. The first couple of cuts were good. He even tried to get me connected with people in my industry, but no one ever called me. He took that out on me for some reason. After a few months of cuts, I felt so uncomfortable around him that I decided to go with mom and pop barber shops, which cost the normal rates. These high priced shops around Seattle aren’t worth it.

After having called in to let them know I’d be 10 mins or less late, I walked into my barber having took a walk-in at the managers request. Instead of taking me, to which I showed up within the 10 mins since I had called. There is no parking for this location but street parking and paid lots blocks and blocks away. I had to pay for parking, ran 6 blocks to be there within the 10 mins. All to be told to F-off by the pretentious, underachieving, blasé manager. I will never be back at this shop and since I own a coffee shop in SoDo, I’ll be sure to tell all the customers exactly where not to go. You could of had a loyal weekly customer but lost it and more, all because you couldn’t keep your word and wait the full 10 minutes. 9 my friends is not 10...and the walk-in was sat before that. Ridiculous.

Emilio gave me a nice clean skin tight fade with a neck taper and straight razor clean up around the edges. Im black/white mix so I often have trouble finding a barber who gets how to cut my hair (Barbers in Cuban neighborhoods seem to do the best). Emilio was very professional and personable. Light conversation made me feel good about myself. Only criticism is all the Elvis pictures on the wall are kind of cheesy. Overall Im impressed, Ill go back and I recommend it to others

Was running around the Hill and about to head out for the night went to Acme since it on my first stop for the night, had Larson cut my hair. He deciphered through my fog of thoughts on what I wanted to give me a great cut, was personable and was clearly product knowledgeable (not only giving me good advice but also had co-worker come up 2 times while getting cut). The place itself is actually nice and clean however it does feel a little low ceiling than regular. overall great experience though.

Alyssa M. Did an amazing job cutting my African american sons hair. She gave him a nice high top fade.. I am happy to have found this place. I was surprised that she could do it....but she knew what she was doing...and we will be seeing her permanently now!!

Menu on here says $25 for a haircut as of 03/02/19. When you get there, youll find out its actually $38. Glad I checked the board before I got my hair cut. Thats kind of a big difference.

Walked in on Monday evening and was quickly met by Ruben who gave me an impeccable first cut for my thick Asian hair. Acme stays open quite late compared to many other barber shops around the area which is excellent if youre looking for a quick walk-in cut after work.

I have a friend with great hair (dont you just hate those people?) who recommended his barber to me and I was a little hesitant at first because Id been going to overpriced salon spas for years and had become a bit of a snob (dont you just hate those people?). Now every couple of weeks I sit in Salvatores chair and leave feeling fresh and clean without paying an arm and a leg. Simply put, Acme is a great barbershop and Sal is the best barber in town.

Ive been going to Larson for years. Always gives me what i ask for which is rarely the same thing twice in a row. I like switching it up and hes always on it.

Ample competent staff. Walk-ins welcome. At $38 its a little spendy for a haircut but its a haircut done quite well.

I used to think it was worth every penny and always left with a great feeling. The past two times Ive been there Ive left dissatisfied and with a mediocre haircut. I guess it depends who you let cut your hair, and both times I got mine cut by whoever was at the chair directly behind the register. Maybe thats why, but alas, I wont be going back anytime soon. At least going to Rudys its consistently a great haircut.

After browsing around the web for awhile, found a few people talking about Acme. Ive cycled through a few different barbers here and theyve all been awesome (fun to talk to, easily embrace feedback, and most importantly: a great haircut). Prices are a bit higher than where Ive lived before but thats Seattle, and it feels like I get what I pay for.

After I wrote the review below, Kevin dropped me like a hot potato and I had to fumble my way around the shop to find an agreeable replacement. Then, a few months ago he fired some of the men who had been his best and most trusted employees. Larsen and Jason relocated to Emerson Salon on East Pike, and thats where I go now to have my hair cut by Larsen. The agenda at this place is about something other than barbering............A few months ago, when I complimented a neighbor on his great haircut, he told me his barber is Kevin of Acme Barber Shop. I made an appointment with Kevin and I have been his devoted customer ever since. Kevin gives me the haircut I want, and I enjoy the time I spend in his chair.

Salvatore is, by far, the best barber I have ever had. He will adapt to all different hair types (I have a receding hairline). He is always very meticulous. Highly recommended!!

Awesome haircut and conversation with Stewart Wentworth. $35 so pretty decently priced. Was here on vacation but otherwise would definitely be back!

Waits are always very short. I always book an appointment with Jeremy who always does a good job, and always identically for me. Prices are reasonable for Seattle.

Its surprisingly difficult to find a solid place to get a mans haircut at a reasonable price, but Acme takes care of the need. Best of all, you can get a straight razor shave as well. All of the barbers are friendly, efficient, and do a good job of projecting the old school barbershop vibe -- feel confident with anyone here. Buzzes are cheap, and the haircuts arent too much more; both are well executed.

Really love this place. Good service, reasonable prices for a crazy good haircut. They know their crowd and kind of only do one do, but thats fine by me.

The shop is always clean, has a good feel, and easy to get to unless you need parking

Stylish spot, friendly staff, good value!

Came in with no real idea what I wanted but a lot of hair to chop off and Naomi took it and ran with it and gave me an awesome haircut. Nothing but good things to say about the whole place. Reasonable prices too.

My favorite place to get a haircut.All the barbers are fantastic and I have never been able to find someone who can cut my hair to the quality they do. Highly recommended.

Visiting from Phoenix. Went here based off reviews, glad I did. Great conversation and cut from Cameron. Good vibes from the shop. Will be back. Thanks Cameron!

Amazing barbers. Always friendly and professional. Love this place.

Francisco is the best barber I’ve been to between Seattle, New York, and Dublin. Listens, provides great suggestions, and executes. First class.

Its a ok place with okish haircut, Ive had better haircuts and been to better hairsalon who does pretty good job. The lady greeted me once I walked into the salon and when she started the hair cut she didnt ask much questions and not able to give simple suggestions for haircut. After a while she turned me away from the mirror and was working on my hair for a long time(i was not able to see what she is doing with my hairs for a long time). I asked her for a simple medium to short hairs than what I had before (not a difficult thing to understand I guess).For this service and job, I would never pay 38 again. Need to fix my hairs somewhere else now.

Amazing. Jason did an amazing job cutting my hair, took the time to do things right! He is extremely personable and knows what he is doing!! He did not rush me and made sure everything was done to my liking. I will return again. Thank you Jason!!!

Horrible service. Called before I came in, the person who answered the phone was very vague and said someone should be able to do it but he was booked. Went in, wasn’t greeted by anyone, listed my name on the waitlist and sat there for 45 minutes being totally ignored. Not a single employee said a word to me, didn’t give me a timeframe for when someone would be available as three barbers sat there. This would have been simple had someone just greeted and asked me the cut I wanted and if I had a timeframe. Communication goes a long way and this place has no idea how to communicate.

Dont expect any kind of favors but they get the job done.

Everytime I go there, I get a great cut and the Barber always works with me because I never know what I want. I know that has to suck for them but they always help me out. No matter who cuts your hair, you cant go wrong.

Great local place to get a haircut.

Friendly crew, great cut, good online set up for appointments.

Got recommended to this place, my Barber was friendly but didnt say much. It made for an uncomfortable experience. Didnt acknowledge me as far as how the progress was going, he didnt really ask much as far as what I wanted. I asked to keep my hair long, took way more that I wanted. I couldnt get his name but his area is closest to the window. When I did tell him about some of the hair being longer in some areas he just said that is just how my hair is offered to cut it but just the ones I pointed out. Also, they dont do eyebrows. Then theres the 33 dollar price tag... I just dont agree that It was worth it. I dont mind paying more, but not for such a miniscule experience.

I find it difficult to find a good barber/stylist. That being said, Ali does a DAMN good job. I have blonde hair, so every cut matters. She takes her time and checks her work as she goes.I also rarely tip. She got 20%. I highly reccomend her at this location. There are a few others there that Ive seen do well, however, Ive also seen some choppy cuts. I am saying Ali is the one you want!

Did not get the finishing I was looking for even though I paid 50$. The ambience was good, maybe my barber had an off day. Will try out others around the area.

Great local spot for barbers. Friendly staff, reasonable prices and always get compliments on my beard.

I went in with my cousin a few weeks ago because he needed a haircut last minute since he had a date. Everyone was very friendly and his barber Jeremy was very professional and accommodating. Overall we were very pleased with the service we got and my cousin loved his cut! I would definetely reccomend this place to everyone, made me wish I still had a head full of hair so I could get my cut done by Jeremy too.

Great place to get a cheap haircut. I got a buzz for $18 and left a $2 tip, so haircut for $20 is great in my book.

Great haircuts. The barbers are really cool and interesting to chat with. Offers a straight razor trim of sideburns and neck.

First time there. Awesome haircut. Ask for Rick, and youll get the best fade in your life.

These guys are the best! My husband has been going here for 9 years and always comes home looking amazing!
