Note on door says, ATTENTION: If you currently have marijuana on you or have recently been in contact with any, unfortunately we must refuse service due to a life threatening allergy. Thank you for your understanding. While its true there may be some people who have allergic reaction to certain plants such as marijuana, Ive never heard of anybody having life-threatening conditions from being exposed.

Great specialty spot tucked away in a quiet stretch of California Ave. Top-quality service and skillsets among the owner and employees. Shop dog is a rockstar!

I went here for a number of years because I liked the haircuts that I got from TeAhn. She was chill and wonderful. Then she left the shop and I continued to use the shop for a while. Once I had an appointment with the proprietor Frankie, about an hour before the appointment I left a voicemail stating that I needed to reschedule. I got a message back from Frankie telling me to never come back if I can’t keep one appointment. She is a whack job who I have seen yell at kids on multiple occasions. Kids who were doing nothing. I have seen her send people away for wearing cologne. I have heard her rip other service providers apart when they were not in the shop. Simply put, her abusive behavior should not be rewarded. Go someplace else. I left that shop a couple of years ago and I haven’t looked back.

Stormy is the best! I had been going to other barber shops for years and always got a decent cut, but the work here is next level - my wife always comments on how good my haircuts are. Its a little more expensive than other places, but definitely worth it for the attention you receive and the quality of the service. Plus, you get to snuggle with Bambino (the resident dog) while you wait!

Frankie is definitely the best barber in the area. Ive been to a few other places nearby, and nothing comes close to the cut she gave me. She talked about my hair and what look I was going for in detail before starting the cut, discussed options, and truly seemed like she wanted to give me the best cut possible. She really works hard to make sure youre happy with your cut, is great to talk with, and did a killer job!

Ive been going to these guys for a while and they are the best when it comes to cool cuts and color! The staff is always game for trying new styles, keeping me looking fabulous! I highly recommend making an appointment if your headed there after work, but they do take walk ins too! All around an awesome place to take your hair!

Gotta love Frankie as the coolest barber for your 50s. 40s and beyond haircuts. The queen of the vintage haircut in Seattle worth the drive

Super friendly. great cut every time. pricing on par with competition. probably not the place to take your kid for a cut, but thats kinda their niche.. retro adult themed type of thing.

This place is great! I recently moved into the area and was looking for a new barber shop. Westside is walking distance from my house so I ambled over one afternoon. The staff greeted me warmly and said they could take me in a few minutes. Cool! My cut is simple enough, but the barber was very skilled with texturing it so that it layed the way I wanted it too without too much fuss. She even gave me some easy styling tips.I also really like that they give you the option to book your next appointment, as I am one of those who lets theyre hair go far too long.Highly recommend!

I Am Fairly New To The Area And Needed A New barber...This Place Was Great. No its not really the place to take a kid, but for a good cut, beard trim and shave its perfect for this guy walk in or appointment always friendly and fast service

The skinhead running the place told me that my 7 year daughter was not welcome while I got my hair cut. Then he ask me if I wanted to get a cut for her, so I asked how much that would cost and he said $25. Then he said that that they could not cut here hair either. ....WTF, why did you ask me? This crap is not going to fly in West Seattle. There are a lot of kids here, and little room for kid haters. You need to take that crap elsewhere. I have never had this problem in any barber shop before.

Frankie is great - great haircuts for my teenaged son for years. They are open about their policy for kids under a certain age so transparent ...excellent service and cuts!

I wont be going back to Westside.Today, I was taking care of my eight-year old nephew. I brought him with me so that my 15-year old son and I could get our hair cut. My nephew is pretty well-behaved for his age. When we arrived for my appointment, they asked us to sit in the back of the shop. Fine. So we did. My nephew (hes very shy) began to tentatively explore the area where we were sitting. He was quickly met with a not-so-nice reprimand from the shop-owner, Frankie, telling him to stop touching things.So he did. I told him he should go apologize. Being shy, it took a lot to convince him to do so. Very meekly, he approached one of the barbers and quietly, haltingly told her he was sorry, The look on her face was that of a person swatting away a mosquito. She told him very brusquely, Thats fine. You need to go sit down. We should have left then.But we didnt. After my haircut and as we waited for my sons haircut, Frankie approached us and told us we couldnt sit in the back of the store; we had to move to the front. Shortly thereafter, I saw Frankie closely inspecting the seats we had just been sitting in. I heard her muttering something about damage. Weird.My nephew and I sat in the front of the store the rest of the time as my son got his hair cut. His misbehavior there in the front of the store consisted of standing up and sitting down several times.We paid for the haircuts and left. About five minutes later, a call came in on my phone from Westside as we were driving away. Thinking that perhaps I had left an item at the shop like my credit card, I answered. The girl on the phone (I didnt get her name) blurted out that her boss (Frankie) asked her to call me and say that they really appreciate my business at Westside, but that in the future I could not bring my kid with me to the shop. My nephew (they thought he was my kid) was sitting right behind me in the car. Not wanting to compound his existing shyness and social anxiety by making him feel like he had caused a problem, I said, Sure, no problem instead of reacting angrily or asking questions.The call, however, was not cool and it is a problem. My son, who was sitting right next to me in the car heard the whole conversation. When I hung up, he looked at me and said, Are you kidding me? How did Westside know my eight-year old socially anxious nephew wouldnt have also heard the call and been devastated?Of course, I guess its fine that they have a no children policy at Westside. But its not fine if they dont tell you that up-front. There is no obvious sign or indication that Westside is off-limits to children or adults with children. If you dont want kids in your shop, post that information somewhere that it cant be missed! Otherwise, you create situations like the one we experienced today where kids could get hurt. Are we all simply supposed to divine that Frankie and the staff at Westside are kid-haters? Dont be shy about that vibe! Put a big sign in the front window letting us know the rules.And what of the villainess in this story, Frankie, and her inability to stand children? She strikes me as an odd, over-the-hill, overly made-up, Baroness Bomburst sort of character so dismayed by the disappearance of her own youth that she cant stomach the sight of playful children because, in her vanity, they remind her that she herself is growing ever older. For that sin, they must be banished and kept out of sight.And by the way, the hair cuts there are expensive. Id say theyre only marginally better than Great Clips and much more than marginally more spendy.Avoid this place.

The lady that runs the shop (lots of tattoos and botox lips) is extremely rude. She yelled at my daughter dont touch the magazines!. Really?? If you dont want kids in the shop, dont accept my business when I walk in the door. Obviously I wont be returning.
