The staff is great, and always ready to give a “tight cut” along with friendly vibes. Really skilled barbers, best place to get a cut! Professionals of the trade!

They give the best cuts in all of Seattle I started going two years ago best choice Ive ever made. All the boys are amazing at there work.

I’ve had a haircut from MJ and Nor, and I’ve really liked both cuts. I feel clean/fresh, I get compliments, and it grows out well + looks good in between cuts. I recommend them to anyone I can. Definitely the best option in the U district.

Great place to get a hair cut. Didnt know what to get so I let them decide and it was the Best hair cut I have gotten.

All my life I’ve been there type of guy that didn’t really care about what barber shop I go to. A haircut was always a chore/maintenance work to check off the list every other month. Until a friend brought me to here. First time I’ve really had a haircut that stood out, and an enjoyable experience as well. Made me feel good after. Really opened my eyes to what a good hair cut should look like.

Used this placed back in college and still go here 4 years after. I’ve had many different hairstyles and this place always cuts my hair the way I want it. Definitely one of the best barbers in the U-District area and even worth the drive from farther out.

They always do a great job with the cuts. Been getting my haircuts here for the past 4-5 years and I always get a nice clean fade from anyone working there. Cant recommend enough

The best barbershop ever. Try it and will never regret 🤩🤩

Went there with a friend because we heard good things. Never going back to my old barber again. Awesome atmosphere, quick but not sloppy, really good eye for what hair styles look good. If you want a change on your style letting them decide what to do is a great idea !

Ive been getting hair cuts at Tight Cuts for probably a little over a year now and I always love my haircuts. All three of the guys who work here are super friendly, fun and knowledgeable. They can cut your hair fast but definitely without sacrificing quality. Definitely the best place for guys to get their haircut in the U-District.

Great experience at Tight cuts. Experienced stylists, very friendly, and wonderful customer service. Brother Noor cuts my hair all the time and I would highly recommend checking this place out.

I’ve been coming here for the past 4 years and they have never disappointed. All the barbers there do a great job and are friendly and sociable. With a reasonable price and quality service tight cuts is and will continue to be my go to place to get my haircut. Would recommend to anyone!

I have been going here for 5 years, they have the best service and will take their time with your haircut. Never rushed, always perfect. 👌🏼

I needed a haircut last minute so I highly appreciate walk in service only for this place. Nor gave me the best cut I had in over a year. Heard about this place on Google Reviews and the reviews sure stand. MJ and Nor who work there have gave great customer service letting me cool down by washing my face from the hot heat wave in Seattle. 5/5 Stars for friendliness, clean cut, good quality and good value for $25

I have been going to Tight Cuts since my freshman year of college at UW. Coming into school I had never gotten a haircut from anyone besides my mom. Over the last four years now the boys at tight cuts brought me in and made sure I always had a good haircut at an affordable price! Cant recommend this place enough!

This was probably one of the best haircut experiences I’ve had. MJ took care of me and did a great job explaining what he was doing and why. He went into detail on things I’ve never thought of like cutting my hair specially for my skull shape and so it lasts a long time. I was in and out in under an hour with haircut and waiting which is much better than I usually wait with an appointment.

Great style on my new cut. Im at a point in life where my hairline is doing its own thing and the stylist at Tight Cuts gave me a great new look.

Not only are the haircuts from this place super clean, the experience is top tier as well. These guys love chopping it up while they work magic with the clippers, and recognize me every time. Great customer service.

This has been my go to place to get a haircut for the past 4 years and if I stay in the area it will continue to be where I get my haircut. All the barbers are great at handling all kinds of hair and are also just great guys to talk to while youre getting a cut. They create a fun environment and are always consistent in giving you a solid cut. The only place I would recommend for getting your haircut in u district is tight cuts!

Really solid place for a haircut. I’ve been coming here for several years and have yet to be disappointed. Very friendly and overall great atmosphere in the shop. Super knowledgeable about different hair types and very receptive to getting you the right look the way you want it.

Every barber here is amazing. They know how to cut any type of hair and will work with you to make the cleanest look. Even if you dont know what you want, theyll help you decide and theyve never made a bad choice. If you have asian hair, look no further, theyll do you right.

Made me look like a different beast. Didnt recognize myself after the haircut

Great folks! Really know how to do the job

Tight cuts is the go to spot for amazing cuts and a good time. The staff is experienced and incredibly charismatic! If youre looking to freshen up then this is the spot!

Ive been coming here for 5 years and there is no other place I would even consider going in the U-District. Never left without a cut that I wasnt completely happy with. MJ and the team know what theyre doing and will get you right for any occasion. The price is good, especially for the quality of service you are getting. The vibes are great, youll be laughing and making jokes with the barbers the whole time, and they will give you tips on how to style your hair the way you want it. I am about to move away from Seattle and am nervous that I wont be able to find a place as good as Tight Cuts. Highly, highly recommend for any guy in the area.

These guys are awesome. I was in and out in like 10 min and its the best fade Ive ever gotten. Good value, sociable, and dependable. 10/10

Look no further. This is definitely one of the best barbershops I’ve ever been to. Their barbers 100% know how to cut Asian hair too which can be hard to find. I’d recommend this place to anyone.

Ok job. Not the style I asked for. Cut my baby hairs in front which I did not ask for, and in doing so took a fair (1x3 cm) chunk out of the corner of my hairline. Shaved the edges of my hairline with a dry razor and alot of pressure, which left me with some bleeding in the shower. Initially it seemed like a cut I could live with for the price but the more I live with it, the less I like it. These ratings should be way lower. I normally do not leave reviews but this haircut is the headache that keeps on giving and continually defies the expectations built up by the ratings. Proceed at your own risk.

Been coming to this spot for a couple years now. Always come out looking great!! Out of all the spots I’ve been to for my haircuts, I’d really recommend these guys!

Best barbers in Seattle. Incredibly friendly and make me look like I’m straight out of a catalogue every time

I’ve never had a bad cut here and you won’t find a better cut anywhere else. These guys are great - I highly recommend! Having tried everything on the street, this is definitely the place for a tight cut.

Best haircut and a fair price. I am Mexican with thin straight hair, I wear a mid high fade with the top cut with scissors. Yassin cuts my hair perfectly every time. From a straight razor hard part to cleaning up my eyebrows he goes above and beyond to make sure I look my best. This is the best hair I have found in Seattle and I’m no longer paying $50! If you need a barber walk in and see Yassin. He is the best and my first choice for a haircut in Seattle.

My number one barber in Seattle. Highly skilled and amazing service. I tried many barbershops in the are and this is the one I am looking for. Always treated me so well! This is the right place for you If u want a fresh and Halal 😁hair cut.

Noor and the crew always giving the cleanest cuts. Best service I’ve had

My man Noor always knows how to give a fresh cut. Super quick but always friendly and professional. Always recommend this place to my guy friends who want an upgraded look.

I’ve been going here for 7 months and I’ve never had a bad cut. Everyone there is very welcoming and friendly, but my guy was always MJ. He remembered me since day one, and remembered all the stories we talked about, and he knew the cut I wanted without having to tell him. He’s a good dude, and he has some serious skill with clippers.

Perfect place. I get hair cut here for about four years in UW and its always perfect. Now I have to leave Seattle for graduate school but here will be one of my best memory.

Good haircuts for young men! The barbers know what theyre doing and can help you look great

I’ve been going to tight cuts since the pandemic restrictions were lifted, and they do a great job. Really friend group of guys who work well, efficiently, and at a good price. Definitely recommend.

Been going to this place once a month for 5 years and Ive never gotten a bad cut. Theyre fast, efficient, quality, and will make you look fresh my friend.

If you’re a guy looking to get a great haircut in the U District, this is the place to go. Fast, friendly, and always leave feeling fantastic! Bring cash. There’s an ATM across the street if you need it.

Best barbershop in Seattle hands down. Great haircuts, fast time in and out, and the barbers are awesome. Ive personally been coming here for the past 5 years and Im very happy with this place

Super friendly staff. Had a sudden video work meeting tomorrow and needed to get a haircut but this is Seattle where everything shuts down by 6 so I was delighted to find them open. Called and they were willing to wait for me. Did an amazing job and were supper friendly about it.

Did my hair right. Didn’t even have to tell him much what I wanted other than a fade. He took care of the rest. Quick and easy. My only gripe is the parking on U way that is hard to come by.

Walked right in for a haircut, only waited a quick minute for a chair to open up. I came in with a thick mop of hair on my head looking like I just walked out of the 60s. Came out looking fresh and clean. Shaped up my raggity beard too. Great guys, fun and full of humor. Would definitely recommend going an getting your haircut here. Little pricey but with the location and the service it is worth.

Tight Cuts has been my standby for five years and counting. Hands down the best haircut experience one could ask for. The guys here know their hair full stop. Personally, I have found them to be immaculate with Asian hair and every time I come in, staff are all friendly, polite, and funny. I would never go anywhere else for a cut. Mohawks, undercuts, fades, they can do it all and I stand by that.

Ive been going here for haircuts for about three years now and I cant recall a time where I have ever been worried that my next haircut would dip below a fantastic quality. My hair has moderately tight curls which Ive been told by other barbers are difficult to manage, yet the staff at Tight Cuts are so skilled that you wouldnt even consider it to be any different. At this point, I trust no one other than amazing and friendly staff at Tight Cuts whenever Im in Seattle. I will definitely be looking forward to another year of great haircuts.

Tight cuts is the best place to get a haircut in this area. All of the guys are super friendly and knowledgable about every kind of hair. Highly recommend Tight Cuts to anyone needing a tight cut.

Tight Cuts is my go-to haircut spot. I have been coming here for 4 years and they never miss, I always get a great haircut. Friendly staff and fun environment. Highly recommend.

This place is amazing. Great service professional friendly, clean. Great haircuts love all the guys. Great family locally owned business. Recommend at all levels

Best barber shop I’ve been in Seattle. The people were super nice and funny and they gave me a clean haircut and did my beard. Go see them!

Best place to get a cut ... the barbers are really nice and very friendly

Always a good experience. Great haircut every time and good people. Highly recommend.

Its the best haircut one can get. Professional, fast and they make you look damn good. The best !

If you’re looking for a great place to get a fade and beard trim/line don’t hesitate, MJ is a beast

Been going here for the past 2 years after moving to the west coast. They are the best shop in Seattle. If your in a panic for a barber shop just stop here

Been going here for around 2 years now. The barbers are friendly and personable on top of always giving good hair cuts. Best place on the Ave.

Been going here for the last two years. Undoubtedly best place to go to for haircuts or beard trimming. Everyone that works here are super friendly and great conversationalists.

Best place for a haircut in the U District, MJ and crew are friendly and give great and fast haircuts, plus the place has a community barbershop vibe. Clean professional and amazing local guys.

Everyone here cuts hair really good. I would recommend it to anyone in need of a haircut! They will hook you up and the place is always in a good vibe. They cut all kinds of hair no matter who you are; make sure you check them out.

Love these guys! They really know how to cut curly/Afro textured hair and I’ve never been disappointed by them all 4 years of coming in. Great value for the quality as well.

Excellent service! These guys will always take care of you, and wont let you leave until you look amazing. Super fun to talk to them as well!

Horrible. This place is too good. If youre looking for a bad haircut like I was, do NOT come here! They clean you up so nicely, I was hardly recognizable! And theyre vaccinated too! Its ridiculous how good they are, I CANNOT recommend their business if you want a loose cut.

This place is AWESOME. Yaseen, Mahmoud and Noor are so nice. They all cut my hair depending on whos in and they always do a fantastic, quick job. I wish I could post pics! Check out their insta @tightcutsofficial

I have been coming to the tight cut for now approximately 5 years, believe it is the best barbershop in seattle. The guys are working there are so friendly.

MJ and the crew always do a fantastic job! Do the extra steps to ensure you feel you are taken care of. Will continue coming back.

I have been coming here for the last 4 years while I was attending UW and love it! Great haircuts and a great atmosphere! I will continue to get my haircut here!

Best Barbers in Seattle hands down. Always leaving looking your best. Highly recommend committing to this place

Best haircuts and best vibes. They always treat me great and run a very tight ship. 10/10

Great service and haircut by Noor. The place is spacious enough (for social distancing) and well maintained. They charge $30 for a haircut and only accept cash. There’s an atm across the street.

Haircuts are $25 (as of 2021) and they are hands down the fastest, most consistent haircut Ive gotten in the Seattle area. Ive paid $50+ tip at other higher end salons and barber shops and its taken 5x as long and looks 50% as good.This place is worth a stop, these guys will make you look excellent.

Have always had an amazing experience here! Nur and MJ have been very nice and polite, and I always came away with great and neat cut. Thank you, Tight Cuts!

I had pretty much given up on believing I would ever get a good haircut on the Ave, then MJ gave me one of the best haircuts of my life. Now hes consistently done so ever time Ive come in. Its a great place and Ill make it a point to keep coming here even when I move out of Seattle.

The haircut I received looked very outdated and there was no attention to detail at all. The whole time I felt gaslighted and was forced to say the haircut looked good. Horrible experience. I’d only recommend to come if you set your expectation to bare minimum

They are always great and welcoming all three guys and have great haircuts and don’t make me sit too long on the chair like other places have me sit for an hour + and it doesn’t end up great ! But these guys are all efficient and quick and deserve every penny

Super friendly staff. Good haircut. Good price.

Tight Cuts is without a doubt the best barbershop on the ave. Everyone there is phenomenal at what they do and for their price, you really aren’t going to find a better haircut. I just had an experience where I went in with a pretty specific idea of what I wanted and they executed it better than I had even thought about.

Always a great experience here. MJ and crew have great conversation with great attention to detail while cutting. Best price in Seattle.

All three barbers are amazing! They have loads of experience and are friendly, quick and efficient, and highly talented. Walked in off the street one day and haven’t been to another place since!

Always a great, quick cut from each of the three guys. Very friendly, always a good time. Fun guys!

Been coming here ever since I moved to seattle from nj/nyc area. High quality, fast, great service, fair prices and ever barber knows what they’re doing. Don’t live as close to this place as I used to but it’s worth coming back every time.

I go here every month and they do a good job every time. The barbers are really chill and super nice. Love going here, they make sure I look good when I leave.

I like Noor’s energy. He’s friendly and finished the job pretty quickly while talking to me.

These guys are the best. So kind and so fun. More than a haircut. Must have Seattle experience.

Great haircuts for a very good price! MJ and all the other guys are awesome and so friendly

My hair is a bit hard to work with and I’ve had mixed experiences at other places but the boys here know exactly what to do and leave me with the perfect cut.

MJ and the guys never fail at giving you the best haircut of your life. I’ve been coming here for 3 years now and there’s no other place I’d even consider going!!

Ive been getting my hair cut here since my freshmen year and now Im graduating and MJ lined me up without a single messed up cut for the past 4 years.

Best place for a haircut in the U District, MJ and crew are friendly and give great and fast haircuts, plus the place has a community barbershop vibe

Great cuts and greater people. All 3 of them give great haircuts but Noor is my guy for a beard line up. Been going here for months and have never had a bad experience.

I started coming here when I was a freshman at UW and Im still coming here after I graduated and moved out of the U-district. MJ and Yasin are both great barbers and genuine people. If youre looking for a great haircut and a cool spot, you should absolutely check out Tight Cuts.

Super fun people, really nice, dope haircut. Good vibes

Great people, always fast, minimal to no wait. Highly recommended!

Haircuts are $25, far cheaper than anywhere else nearby. Great quality. The barbers make sure they understand what you want. Haircuts dont take too long either.

For the last three years, Ive been going to MJ at Tight Cuts and I recommend it to anyone who will listen. MJ consistently cuts my hair with precision and I always leave feeling cared about, which is pretty great too. When I got married, MJ told me to come in at a certain time and really took his time cutting my hair and helping me to look my best for the big day. He is knowledgeable, friendly, and great at what he does.

Best barber in Seattle! The staff is super friendly and all three barbers give amazing haircuts.

Best shop on the Ave. The guys are the best at what they do and always take care of you.

MJ does a great job at a great price! All around great people.

They always have positive and great services.，and we‘ve been here for a long time！Never get bored. Thank you all！ Highly recommend！

Great vibes and people here. Fast and clean haircuts
