Great atmosphere and staff. Haircut was great although she missed some hairs! π But overall it was great and very reasonable priced. Will be back for my next cut!
Have always had good luck with my cuts here. Prices seem to keep going up and a smallish parking area.
Keep in mind my hair is easy to cut so I cant speak to the efficacy of the stylists. But I will say that Ive never had a bad cut and I take whomever is available. I love the vibe of the shop (specifically West Seattle).
Appointment was at 4:45 arrived at 4:52 was told my appointment was canceled because not in there 5 minute window. This is after they canceled on me mid week 30 minutes prior to my appointment and last time I was there waited 20 minutes. I have been getting my haircut at various rudys locations for years and after the terrible customer service Iβm good wonβt be coming back. The rude person working the front desk trying to power trip over being 6 minutes late just lost you a long time customer. The haircuts honestly had become pretty overpriced so I guess iβll thank him for making me take my money elsewhere.
This was my first haircut in many moons, and couldnt be more happy with Emys work. She was really great with the mess of a pandemic-mullet I had going on, and incredibly professional. I will absolutely be going here again. Oh, and the coffee shop next door is also a great ancillary benefit to going here.
Was badly cut by two different people here on my neck because both times the barber was rushing to finish within the 30 minute window they give you. Every time I come here the barber is late to the appointment & leaves parts of my hair uncut. Very unprofessional for the amount they charge. This place is pretty much an expensive super cuts. If youβre looking for a fade go literally anywhere else.
Great experience, great hair cut, clean, easy to make appointment, on time and overall a very great place for a haircut
Ive been coming here for years now and the service has always been great. Christina is really good with them fades!
The style game is strong with this one. Plus, their house products work Goood.
Such a fun and exciting place to get your haircut. Everyone is so friendly and eclectic. The check in and check out process is seamless. Everyone exudes perfection and professionalism. Cami does such an amazing job that Ive been her client for years and will only let her cut my hair.
Christina Hooper is my barber and has been for the past 3 years.Shes super friendly, listens to what you want, funny, down-to-Earth, very sincere and professional! She does such an amazing job. Whatever your style of hair, she will make you look amazing. I canβt recommend her enough.
I love Rudyβs! Any time I have booked with a specific stylist or anyone itβs always been great! The people who work here are not afraid to go bold if thatβs what you ask for! Or something subtle, classic, etc. I really hope the bankruptcy news isnβt altogether true, I love having this Rudyβs around when I need a haircut planned in advance or impromptu day of. In the world of hair and beauty maintenance $47 for a haircut is NOTHING! I have had $100+ haircuts, should have just gone to Rudyβs and indulged in a beautiful salon hair product and still saved some coin. Good music, good hairstylists, if youβre lucky thereβs a cute dog AND coffee in the same building! Come give this place a visit & tip accordingly.
Very professional, interested and respectful of what I wanted and at the same time, guided me to what was better for me.
Are you looking for a new barber but nervous youβll get a bad cut? Well, go to Christina and youβll be in good hands. I just moved from LA and was in dire need of a haircut, but like most people, I was scared to have a messed up cut. Iβm so glad I chose Christina because this is the BEST haircut Iβve ever had. 11/10
Love the place! I never stopped coming only because of Christina who offered great comfort, service and styleπͺπͺπͺπΈMade my days much better! Thanks
Nice, laid back atmosphere with very friendly staff.
Always a great place. Haircut can be anywhere from good to great. Today was great. Covid precautions were top notch and made me feel very safe
Great hair cuts - easy to get in and always a good one. Buzz cuts to long cuts. Employees seem to like working here.
Have had decent cuts here but just recently they cancelled my appointment on me 1 hr before my scheduled time. The receptionist said they were closing early which seems odd if you have appointments booked.
Excellent service and cuts.
Great friendly and takes safety seriously. I live the roll up doors to keep the air flowing inside. Did I great job with my curls.
Friendly staff, reasonable prices, and a strong attention to detail make this retrofitted former garage one of the best places for a haircut in West Seattle. I was very happy with my first cut here and will definitely be back again soon.
Rating 4 stars as the haircut itself is over priced, but Christina does an amazing job and I go to her everytime I need a trim!
The cut I got was great, exactly what I wanted. The shop took precautions for Covid that I felt were appropriate and effective
Checked in for my 3:00 appt at 3:02 via text as instructed. After thinking they were running late I waited and finally called at 3:30 and was told that the guy who checks in was at lunch and they didnβt see my text. This seems like a major flaw in Rudyβs system and protocols. If that is how they treat their clients appointments I wonβt be back.
Scott did a great job!! Very happy with the haircut!!! Took his time and got it finished off perfect.. paid attention to details despite being the last person of the night and a walk up:) (was in the chair immediately on a Thursday night.. ) check the place out!
The best thing about Rudyβs is the consistency. I have been going for about a year and whoever cuts my hair does a great job. No matter who you work with, youβre guaranteed a good communicator who works with you to find a style that youβll love. That being said, Malibu is who you should work with.

Rudys is the original hipster barber shop in Seattle. With enough locations to cover most neighborhoods, including West Seattle, youre never too far away. They do walk-ins but online booking is a safer bet unless you have all the time in the world. Friends dont let friends go to hair salons!
My go-to for a haircut often. I have a usual stylist but everyone Ive had has been phenomenal. Great vibe AND connected to a coffee shop.
I came in as a walk-in. I called before I did to make sure there was availability and 20 mins later I was sitting in a chair. I saw Desiree. She was super chill and cool and didnβt force conversation, which I really appreciated. She asked what I wanted and executed it to what I had in mind and more! I love my haircut. Like really really love my cut. Iβve always passed by Rudyβs around town and especially in WS. Iβm so happy I came in and that they paired me with Desiree. I will definitely be back for more cuts from her and hopefully a color soon! Thanks guys :)
Liv cut my hair from shoulder length to a flippy undercut a few months ago, and as Ive been figuring out and ongoing look, shes made every option look great!
I have always had great customer service at every Rudys that Ive ever been to, and Ive been to a lot. The personalities and cutting styles are different, but when you lean on the staff, they are always golden. I have seen many of their stylists, but I saw Kelcie most recently and she was incredibly patient and detail oriented. Great cut.
Friendly staff, good precautions in place and great haircuts
They do they thing right, but $35 for a simple menβs haircut.... π€ anything slightly more than a buzz cut and you paying the big bucks. I would go every time if I could afford it.
A Good Barbershop Hindered by a Touch of Hipster HubrisIve been going to Rudys for years. The addition of a West Seattle location is a long-overdue and welcome one. The new store is large, clean, equipped for large amounts of traffic, and fairly straightforward. They offer military buzz cuts, short trims, long trims, beard trims, and coloring services. Average price for a haircut is probably about $40 for most people. Their stylists do a good job working with kids, if thats a concern for you. Their prices arent completely outrageous when compared to other mid-range to high-end barbershops, and the stylists are usually pretty friendly and straightforward people who arent afraid of some cussing and frank conversation for those who welcome it.However, if I had a complaint (and what review is complete without that?) it would be that the seating is very minimal (and not terribly comfortable), the parking situation is not great, and there are only ever a handful of stylists working and you never know how long your not an appointment is going to take (despite the fact that the store has about a dozen chairs).For those who have never been to a Rudys: you walk in and you get your haircut (seems simple); unless - of course - twenty other people called in ahead to put their name on The List; which is somehow different from an appointment, I guess, somehow. In which case, youll be sitting around for an hour, at least.Despite the weirdness with The List, I definitely recommend Rudys for just about anyone. Their stylists are knowledgable when it comes to hair products, and youll probably come away from it looking good, even if you leave it up to the stylist to choose your hairstyle.
Great quick cuts every time. A little price but the consistency for the quality is why I return.
Ok, so I had spent almost 2 years to grow out my hair just to barely shoulder length. Then I go in and get a lady- Sally, I honestly was extremely upset by what happened. She had cut off almost all my hair. NOT what I wanted, then she proceeded to try to TALK me into liking it. I wanted to cry, yes I sound petty but honestly thats just horrible service. For my facial structure and weight having this short of hair thats all choppy and looks like a bowl was placed on my head is horrible I already have self esteem issues and Im usually satisfied by my haircut till today, I recommend talking to the workers and finding someone who can truly do even the most simple hairstyles/cuts and focus on you rather than other people who arent their client. Will hopefully come back to a better skilled employee.
Just had a great hair cut this morning from Taryn. She gave a really nice wash beforehand and was able to cut my hair exactly how I wanted, even though Im never good at explaining it. She even had some other hair design ideas that she gave me to think about for next time. I enjoyed the conversation and the cut a lot. I will definitely be back.
Incredible service, amazing staff, and beyond impressed with the whole experience. We will DEFINITELY be returning! β‘
Karen did a great job on my hair and beard. Ill definitely be back again
Your experience will vary wildly depending on who youre seen by. They can all handle a buzz or a fade just fine, but if youre looking for color or a decent womens cut, be careful who you pick.
Good spot good stylists interesting music. Lots of chairs but still can be a wait for walk-ins, better to book ahead online/phone.
Amanda is my barber and has been for the past 2 years. She does such an amazing job that I will be ruined for barbers when I move. Whatever you style of hair, she will make you look amazing. I canβt recommend her enough.
Great people who do a great job
Both times Iβve been here itβs been lousy despite me showing photos and detailed descriptions of what I want. It seems overpriced.
Saturday, November 17, 2018Took my elderly uncle for a hot shave, something he had not experienced since 1989. Iβm a Seattle Native and barbershopβs back in the day were chill, relaxing environments. Rudyβs is not that: music selection is jumping and too loud. Pace is jumping too. Cement floors are βchillβ though. Hot shave was fantastic, but the noise prevented my uncle from relaxing. I grew up with Jimi but this establishment is far from hip.
They get my haircut right, every single time. I had issues with every other place I hit up in West Seattle, and Rudys was the best in all ways: cost, atmosphere, stylists, and a little connected coffee place. Since I moved to West Seattle, I dont get my haircut done anywhere else.
Came in for a beard trim and Cleora was awesome! Ive been to 4 different people at various shops in Seattle and she was hands down the best! Shes the first person who not only asked me what I was wanting done, but actually listened and followed through.
After years of going to crappy (and often overpriced) salons, I gave Rudys a try and have never looked back. They employ fun, skilled barbers, and I always leave pleased with the result. Free lollipops, too, if youre good!
Great and easy accessible location, friendly staff, ample free parking. Walls are still pretty bare but Im sure that will come with time. Im glad its staffed with tried and true hair stylists from other neighborhood Rudys!
Christina Hooper is the best barber in Seattle. Lines up hair just right
Great service and you can book online with an account. Would be great to have pics of the stylists as I usually forget the name of the person I last saw. Coffeeshop next door is great.
Always a consistent and fantastic haircut. The pups are a bonus.
Not really a barber shop, more of a salon using barber in its name so guys feel comfortable going there. Kind of spendy. Not quite salon pricing, but more than a traditional barber would charge. Quality is hit or miss depending on the stylist you get.
My go-to for haircuts. Best to make an appointment but they can take walk-ins.
The stylists here are consistently friendly and give great haircuts. Itβs a bit pricey but the quality is way better than the other chain shops so I think itβs worth the premium.
Malibu did an amazing job, been years since I have been to a barber, and Ill be back to this one.
Great service week after week. Highly recommend Cleora for a great shave.
I love this place. Great atmosphere, great service. I drive 35 minutes out if my way just to see Lacy. Shes amazing.
Wonderful trendy saloon with awesome people. Ask for Deanna. Just one of the many Stylist.
I had a style that I liked but it had grown out and I wanted a corrective color and I thought Izzy gave me the coolest looking blond with an additional color ever..And did not force me to over trim..Lots of compliments on the skill and clean lines of the color..And I liked squid the Chihuahua as well.
Cristina. Great cut, nice chat, and the best part is when she looks at you with that look and tells you all sexy... Done, get out of here. Momma Mia!!! Thank you, Cristina. You are the bomb.
Friendly staff. Great vibe. Heather gave me a great cut, andalso went the extra mile to ask if I wanted my eyebrows trimed!
Arrived at 815 waited for 45 mins to be 1st only to have them open doors to the front and several ppl got ahead of me. Very disappointed in customer service and definitely not happy w my haircut. I got a bad haircut elsewhere and it was already short just needed to be fixed and trimmed ended up being a 3 almost 4 hour disappointment. I live Rudys but this is not how they do things at the others this was terrible
Great haircuts great barbers. Also sometimes people bring in dogs.
Staff and stylist already friendly and never had a bad cut
Dialed in my beard for $10 and where polite and conversational while they did it. I dont go there for haircuts anymore though... $32 for a mens cut us just crazy to me...
Great staff and good looking hair cuts π
Best cut Ive ever had from Jessie! Very detail oriented. Highly recommend this shop!
The cut looks fine... but was EXACTLY opposite of what I asked for. Dont cut things short when you say youre growing it out dont cut that.
Let there be no doubt, the hairdressers of Rudys will cut you! But that cut will be accompanied with pleasant, witty chatter and an excellent hairdo. This shop has particularly excellent service and you probably wont have to wait if youre a walk in customer. Dont overlook the amazing coffee nextdoor at Realfine, which is equally amazing.
This is a little tough, both the stylists I liked left without warning and the one filler stylist didnt connect with me on what I was looking for.
Lazy. Called to make an appointment since Iβm driving. The guy legit just referred me to go online and make an appointment. Iβll take my money somewhere else.
Make sure that your stylist doesnt have her own hair style reflect the work she does on you !Half shaved skull with Purple Hair should never be inflicted on a Grandpa !!!
One of the best cuts ever and the coffee shop serves great espresso and they use Black Scottie chai concentrate.
Great place to get a haircut. Most of the staff is friendly. A couple of the check out persons seem to be annoyed by you until its time to check out...and give a tip.
Great quality hair cut from trained professionals
This place is busy, so call ahead to schedule an appointment. Haircuts for men and women, and beard/ mustache service. No A/C. Staff does a good thorough job. Takes their time with the costumers.
Great cuts by Christina H. A little pricey but worth it.
Wasnt my cup of tea. Very popular place and I am sure good servoc
Always a quick and solid beard trim and hair cut.
Lacey does a great job every time. I only trust her with my fresh cuts.
Heather is the best! Very cool place for a craft cut.
Ok. They dont leave any availability for walk ins. So call first π or they dont want your money
All depends on who you get. Ive had great, decent and bad haircuts. But price is right. Lesson: find someone there that you like, then make reservations.
Not impressed! I came in looking to get a fade, what I ended up with was a uneven high and tight. Felt like my barber or I should say hair dresser more like it rushed through my haircut, left uneven hair on my head, did not fade the line and lined me up crooked in the front. If you want a basic high and tight and need it done in 10min this is your place, but if your looking for a skilled barber who takes their time and knows how to cut hair its not this place.
Funky place. Nice staff. Good haircut.
Last time I went here my hair was cut horribly and I dont really want to go back. The first time was fine and they did ok on my kids hair but cut it too short.
Ive never had to wait more than 5 minutes as a walk-in, friendly staff for the most part, usually get a good cut (beware of Autumn), music is good.
If you find the right stylist this is great. But, really pricey!
Great atmosphere! Great music! Great stylist at an affordable price!
First haircut in five years here, they took care of the donation and everything. Excellent barbers.
I went in for a simple haircut, all over leave about 1 inch. I asked how much that would cost and they said a $32. Im normally happy with 5.99 GreatCuts, so Im about to walk out when she said, an all over same length cut is only $15. I say Im ok with all over same length and get seated. 4 mintues later I have a great haircut, and I go to pay. Its $32 dollars, I say just a minute ago they told me it would be $15. Im talking to the same lady that quoted me that. She talks to the hair designer and he says only buzzcuts are $15 and that because it was longer then 1/2 inch its a $32 haircut.Great haircut, but literally lied about the price. I will never go back and I hope anybody else that doesnt like getting lied to about price stay away as well.
Excellent service, great advice, professional workers. My wife loves the cut too.
Ally is the best! Great cut and friendly...
I love me a Rudys haircut. They keep me looking on point.
