My family has been going here for a few years now. This place is fantastic. The staff have always been friendly and professional. Sometimes I don’t know exactly what I want, and Ani was great at helping me figure it out. Liz is great with my kids, and Jana has given me amazing cuts. One of the things that I really love about Supernova is that they do razor cuts. Another thing I like is that their online booking is so easy. I just pick my time, I get my confirmation e-mail, and the day before I get a reminder text.For concerns about how things are being handled during the virus, I was given a number to call when I arrived (for check in). When I got to the door I was given a temperature check, masks were worn by all, and everyone was properly spaced out.
Awesome spot. Great haircuts. Looking smooth. Will definitely go again.
Great experience here - I had a cut with Jana and my hair dyed bright colors with Kendra and both did a fantastic job! Plus they take their Covid safety seriously. Ill definitely be back!
Absolutely 💯 my favorite queer punk stylists ever. Stop searching and make an appointment with then now. Ani is my stylist and I wont go to anyone else ever again.I had the same Seattle stylist 5 years and when I moved out across the bridge last year it was terrified because it meant that Id have to find another stylist. A friend of mine recommended Supernova Salon as a great queer shop to support and I was not disappointed.The shop is fantastic, eclectic beautiful artwork on the walls (some by the stylists!), a riot of color and passion for all sorts of communities that need support. Their COVID protocols are tight (thank you!), and their stylists know their stuff!!I found the perfect fit for me with Ani - I love the chill and grounded vibes they bring to the chair and Ive done three very different styles with them going from super long to super short. They hit the mark EVERY TIME. I always get tons of compliments on the cuts from all different kinds of folks.Ive also gotten the opportunity to sit and watch/listen/see multiple other artists at work. And they are artists- varying areas of expertise, great with clients, super personable and helpful, efficient while being detailed oriented and not stopping until its just right, and look to be exceptional with the bright vibrant color jobs.
Best barber in the Greater Tacoma area! Shane took his time explaining what sort of cut would work for me, and how to keep it looking sharp. Great environment, Great service…Highly recommendI will be back!
Shane did a killer job taking my year old mess of a beard into something nice and manageable. Will be coming back for sure.
Very un professional staff especially the barber tito. Poor quality cut. Very abrupt and rude. Do not recomend
I’ve been to quite a few barbers in the Tacoma and Seattle area and Supernova barbershop always keeps me coming back. All the employees are super chill, and really know how to create a welcoming environment. All of the barbers there are very talented individuals that can handle just about any cut you throw at them, but Shane is my go to. He never fails to impress! Give these guys a shot if you’re looking for a fun, professional barbershop experience 👍🏼
Great cut! Tito is great! Its a bit pricey, but we can thank Covid for that. Still great service, and solid cuts.
I just moved to the SeaTac area from out of state and had been looking for a new salon. This place had great reviews, so I gave it a try...they did not disappoint. Liz was so friendly and easy to talk to. I gave her dealers choice on my haircut and styling after only giving her a few vague ideas, and its seriously one of my favorite haircuts. She even recommended great products when I asked for some hair care help. Ill definitely be returning!
Best barber for sure! Shane was a badass!! totally chill guy to talk to...even though I was by myself in there it was still a cool environment..he knew exactly what kind if cut I was looking for. Definitely will be my new barber oh and yes it was my first time there needed to find a new barber as it was my first time having to look for oje since I moved to Tacoma. I highly recommend HIM! just be aware to make an appt!
Best cuts and colors Ive ever had anywhere, hands down. All the stylists are wonderful and talented. Ive even had strangers stop me in my office building to compliment my haircut!
Highly recommend getting a haircut here. Everyone is great and they are fantastic barbers! Wouldnt get my haircut anywhere else. 💯
Great place for an awesome cut. Nate is excellent! I wasn’t quite sure what I was looking for style-wise but he provided his advice and it turned out great! Best cut I’ve had in a long time. Nice, laid back atmosphere. I’ll be coming back!
Tito was awesome and gave my son the best haircut hes ever had.
Ani was AMAZING with my mom, who had a lot of trepidation about getting her hair cut. They took their time and explained everything, and were very personable and kind, particularly since constriction threw us off and we were late. Thank you so much for a great experience, Supernova!
I am writing this review because someone has to say something. Supernova Barbershop is a PREMIER shop in Tacoma and the ONLY one I will recommend to my friends and family. The owner is an awesome guy and he really works hard to maintain a positive vibe. Now, Id also like to talk about the only barber i will go and see there. Tito, is by far the best barber i have ever come across, he always goes above and beyond to make sure I and other customers are well treated when in his chair. i HIGHLY recommend going to supernova barbershop and seeing TITO!
Best baber in town by far.
I get my hair cut by Shane. He a real solid and personable guy. Very professional and has a great attention to detail. Also the only person to cut my hair and not stab my head with the guard on his clippers.The rest of the staff are just as friendly and shop has a great atmosphere.
I just moved to Tacoma and was looking for not a place to get my haircut, but a barbershop, with barbers not hairstylists. This place is a real guys barbershop. Shane has cut my hair several times, and I always leave looking great. His attention to detail, and personable attitude go way above and beyond. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to have a great haircut.
Ive been a regular now for some time. Ani does excellent work, I always come out looking incredible. Excellent customer service, hip metro vibe, very knowledgeable and skilled. Theyve been superb with COVID protocols.
I’ve been seeing Tito for years now and have walked out looking fly after every single appointment. The shop is clean and organized and feels safe to be inside of during Covid as all the employees and customers do a good job of following the mask mandate. The whole team is professional, kind, and also just have a fun atmosphere. Supernova family for life.
My barber Shane was the absolute best! Extremely friendly, well they all are super friendly. He gave me the best cut I’ve had in my life and I don’t see myself going anywhere else for a long time! 10/10 recommend this shop and Shane!
Best fresh cuts in Tacoma. Donny keeps me and my beard looking sharp. While this shop has adapted very well to COVID restrictions, its really Donnys attitude towards keeping his customers safe that helps Supernova stand out. Been a customer for 3 years and look forward to many more!
Had an appointment today 3/17 and they close the store in the morning due to a COVID scare (the salon receptionist informed me) and I didn’t receive a call or text saying that the store was closed and or my appointment was canceled. I drove 40 minutes out of my way to make it there because i loves the work you guys do But That was an unprofessional move .
I just moved back to the area and picking a new stylists is always a headache. Luckily I got Ani and it was an amazing job start to finish. You could really see a pride in doing things right and not cutting corners. The shop is very clean and well equipped with a real funky PNW feel.
Very friendly, fun group staffed. Right up my alley. A little pricey, but I definitely recommend.
Tito is the worst one!!! Feel so bad to give supernova one star because of him. You are such a disgrace for the professional place like supernova individually, and barber in general
Maddy @ Supernova is the best of the best!! I have never had a cut or style I did not like. The staff are amazing. So friendly!! Youll feel at home while getting your hair done!!!! Its an art and they are fantastic artists!!!
The best haircut experience I have ever had. The guy who cut my hair, Tito, was absolutely the nicest person and the other guy who was there with him, Shane, was so fun to have hanging out while I got my haircut. I don’t plan on getting my haircut from anywhere else ever again.
The review I left was under my name the appointment was under my girlfriends name Deserae Johnson she had an appointment at two she showed up and the salon lady with the bangs told her that the barbershop was closed due to a Covid scare. she was at the right location bc the lady at the salon was able to look up her name. She was Schedule to get her hair hair cut by Nate and the nice lady conversated about how awesome Nate is. So You guys are not open and did not email call or text that her appointment was going to be canceled. I’ve tried to call multiple times and no one answered. Very very unprofessional
Jana is amazing and her shop is fun. She cuts my hair exactly as I ask and does a fantastic job. Highly recommend.
Jana has been cutting my hair off and on for 10 years. This is one place I know I will get a good cut every visit. Easy online booking and the quality of service is what I would expect to pay a lot more for.
Shane was awesome! We let him just go on our son’s head and Shane gave him an incredible style! He also gave Joe care and styling tips. He is the only barber cutting Joe’s hair from now on.
Love getting my haircut by Maddy! She is extremely talented & gives such great quality haircuts!!! Highly highly recommend!!!
Awesome cut for a great price. Been coming here for years.
Liz is the best! Very attentive to your comfort level and listens to your ideas about how you want your hair. Super rad lady! I went and got my hair cut first time in this crapy year and liked it so much I had her bleach my virgin black Chinese hair. It came out awesome. No Bevis brassy bras business in these locks. Thanks again Liz. Youll be seeing me again!
Got a wonderful and fresh haircut! Goodbye 2020 dead ends!!!
Kinda disappointed. Initially, took my daughter to this place for a haircut and consult on a color. This place has amazing reviews and the pricing was normal for the area. The colorist quoted $170 for the color, which is what I pay at other salons, and 50 deposit (2.5 hours in the chair). My daughters hair is just below her ears and virgin hair. We go back for the appointment, she did an amazing job and she was friendly BUT when we go to pay its now $300?! Baffled why the price jumped so high (she spent 3 hrs on her hair) and not wanting to cause a scene in front on my kid, I paid and left. Very disappointed in a bait and switch!
I have gotten my hair cut by Maddy every couple of months for 3 years and Ill never leave! With my anxiety changing hair stylists or salons is still something I cant do, so to have her welcome me in every time and remember my haircut saves me from my usual panic over small things like this. I have never left with hair I hate, I appreciate how welcoming this salon is, Thank you Maddy!
Great service great group of guys.
I love going to Jana because she will tell me if something will look good or not. She has an eye for detail and is a joy to chat with!
These guys were amazing fixing my Covid hair. I cut it myself for 8 months and they brought it back better than ever! If you want a great cut and friendly barbers, go here.
Always a pleasure to do business here
Maddy and Ani are the best. Took me a few years to find a place that feels right and does great cuts.
Donnie and crew are the best. You want a good cut and shave, this is the place.
Awesome place and an awesome staff!
Tito does amazing haircuts. Conversation is always good as well.
Friendly, professional, quality work😇 drove 45mins for the cut and it didnt disapoint!
Best place in Tacoma to get your hair cut!
They can really cater to any style you want give them a shot
Id say my experience was great. I love this community, I look forward to supporting this community and I encourage you to do the same. Go see these guys, you wont be disappointed. From the amazing hair-tenders to the shop cat to the mimosa and finish it with a great haircut for an amazing price and killer service...just go. 🧡
Yall are seriously the best salon in Tacoma 10/10 would get my hair cut again.
Honestly the best place in Tacoma to get a haircut. Skilled barbers, great atmosphere, and youre in and out in no time.
Hands down, the best place to get a haircut.
Nate did a great job cutting my hair. Ill be going back. They check temps and require masks. Its a little expensive but they take pride in their work.
Love it nates been cutting my hair for the last year and Ive had zero issues
Killer shop, great vibes, not pretentious. Shawn took his time taking down my crazy quarantine mop and definitely delivered. Beast for sure
Matty was a pro. I have long hair so I have to have it styled. She killed it. Got exactly what I asked for and the conversation was good to lol.Thanks again, Matty!James Drzazga
Update. The service and people are amazing people. Since theyve moved, the quality isnt matching the price that has gone up. I can get comparable hair cuts for much less, and the last one I got was very similar to a super cuts dew.
Ashley Beth cut my 5 year old daughters hair today and did a wonderful job! This place is clean with an edgy funky vibe. I cant wait to go back and have her do my hair!
Just finished up my first appointment with Jana, and I could not be more pleased! I went in for a trim and to add layers to my medium-length hair and it turned out awesome. I love the laid back atmosphere - you can tell that everyone who works there loves what they do and where they work. Cant wait to book again!
Love this place! Ive been getting my hair cut here for years, its off beat and friendly. Just took my kids here for her first haircut and it went wonderfully! They were patient and did a great job on her hair.
Jana is a super haircutter. The salon does great hair coloring too.
Supernova barber shop is hands down a FANTASTIC and AWESOME place, NEVER ever had a bad haircut or hot shave, the staff is ALWAYS professional
I went to Tito at Supernova. He was amazing with my son and so patient. He was talking to him and laughing. It was a great experience. My son loves his new hair cut. We just walked in and was able to be seen. His attention to detail was amazing as well.
Liz is awesome 👌
Love this place! Showed them a few pictures of what I wanted and they did what I asked for.. Theyre very chill and laid back. They do have a salon cat. They keep it so clean in there! Very good prices. Hopefully my next appointment will be to color my hair. Would definitely recommend.
Funky and authentic salon. Great hair and gritty Tacoma atmosphere. Have experienced several stylists and all are really good! Love!!
What a treat it is to go to Supernova Hair Salon North Vancouver. All the staff are in sync to make you feel welcome. Every time Ive gone, I have come back satisfied. This time it was Dora who pampered me with head massage and a fabulous new hair style. She took the time for a full consultation and personalized a cut and color to fit me perfectly. The Salon is beautiful and spacious and I never hesitate to recommend a visit to anyone. A 5 star all the way !!
Fantastic barbershop. Cant recommend enough
Went to this salon for the first time and Kendra did my hair. She did a fantastic job with my cut and color, and was great. Staff was friendly and welcoming, salon has a very relaxed and friendly vibe. Thank you Kendra!
Janna gave me a great haircut!! Im visiting from vegas... needed a haircut
Simply unprofessional. I asked if walk in was available, told to return in 1 hour for my cut, I did and returned 10 min early, then waited for another 1 hour with no acknowledgement from staff or any update. 2 hours total as potential customer and employees are too busy on phones or smoke breaks to give me time of day, so I did not create issue but quietly walked out. Thus the 1 star for poor service. Response from owner in comments seems appropriate.
I have been seeing Tito here once every few weeks for a little under a year now. I am consistently happy with my haircuts and he is very friendly and conversational. Ive always had trouble finding a barber that I want to stick with and its nice to finally have one that I feel comfortable and confident going to.
I love this place. I was in the Army and have cut my own hair for over 20 years but these guys make me comfortable and confident that they will make me look as well as I could at a very reasonable price.
Madi is the best!! Thanks for all the great cuts.
Ive been going here on and off for years back when they only used the front room. It is a pleasant experience most of the time. Unfortunately my favorite stylist moved up North but the vibe is usually very chill and I appreciate when they offer a beer during my appointment. Sometimes though the vibe is very different - a little stand offish and cold. I dont know if its specific stylists or what it is. Prices are great and its normally a winner!
Some people are good at cutting hair, some people are good at coloring hair, and very few people are good at being honest with you about what will look good on you given your hair, face, etc. Liz Wilson has an amazing talent for all three! I can’t recommend her enough. I asked her to do some detailed coloring and cutting, and brought in some photos. We talked through what would be best given my fine hair and she absolutely nailed it. Her attention to detail clearly indicates that she loves what she does!
Kendra cut my three year old sons hair and she was incredible! Getting a hair cut for my son is extremely traumatic due to a dog attack that lead to a long hospitalization. Kendra made my son feel SO comfortable, cool, and at ease. He sat still the entire time, loved the experience, felt so comfortable, and didn’t cry/ get upset once. I can’t tell you how huge this was for us!! She worked with him and didn’t use clippers. I tried a kids salon thinking that would help and boy were we wrong. Bad hair cut and over stimulated. The vibe here was so chill and the people were friendly. He loved the monster cape, the kitty cat, and the sick KISS poster lol. Thanks Kendra you were awesome!
Awesome place for haircuts. If you want a perfect cut with great atmosphere, then you can try this place my friends. I got beat offers and best haircut at a justified price. The barbers are wonderful and had great experience of each style. Keep it up my friends.
This was my first experience at a barber shop. I usually cut my own hair with a trusty pair of clippers, several guards, and a mirror... so, obviously I think they do a great job. But seriously, the barber made sure he knew exactly what I wanted and he delivered. Mad skills with a straight razor! I wanted something other than a high & tight that Ive been getting since the military. So I let it grow and let the barber work some magic. I loved my haircut, and even better, my wife loved it. The beard shape and trim was a little less impressive. To be honest, it was a bit disappointing. Such meticulous care and precision was taken in the haircut - it was darn near perfection - and then he got to the beard and just grabbed some clippers and raked it across my face real quick. My beard was uneven in places to start with, but I still left the barber shop with an uneven beard ... just a lot shorter. One whole section of hair was completely missed. It only took a few minutes after I got home to touch it up.Ill definitely go back as a return customer - but probably for the haircut only.
I loved working with Kendra. She did not waste time ($70) by the hour instead of paying for the type of coloring you get. I went about it by saying these are the colors I want, I dont want you to really color these areas but otherwise, I will leave it up to you. She did a great job and I kid you not, I get compliments every day for the way she colored my hair. She is super cool and would recommend to anyone.
I walked in without an appointment and was promptly greeted and told Tito would help me out. I waited maybe 20 mins and he hooked me up with a great beard trim and a buzz cut. Im getting married this weekend and my beard has never looked better. Nice clean shop with a great barber. Thanks again Tito!
It a cool barber shop and the people are so nice there cool to have a place so close to my house too
Best haircut in town, hands down. All the barbers are super experienced. I always feel a little more confident after a haircut from there. Fantastic straight razor shave, with lots of prep with plenty of hot towels.
Awesome stylists and super fun atmosphere
I go here regularly and every time I do its a great experience. The staff is always friendly and kind. They know what theyre doing, Ive never had a bad haircut from here. The price is reasonable for a barber shop. They sell great product. I love the strait razor shave and edging. Very clean, knowledgeable, skillful, professional, and good atmosphere.
Read reviews of this place and thought I’d take a chance. Real glad I did. Quick and reasonably priced. Parking can be dicey, but it is downtown Tacoma.Happy to have Donny cut my hair for the past year! If you need a cut and you want a chill, fun vibe, check these guys out. It’s also very clean and if you wanna beer, they’re happy to oblige.
Just had a fabulous haircut with Jana! Great location, free parking, and inexpensive. And again, fabulous!
I went to supernova for the first time today, based on a friends recommendation. It was super easy to make a online appointment, and over all, the place was really nice. It seemed to me that all of the barbers really knew what they were doing, and were producing really nice results. My barber was Rex, and although I was unshure of what I wanted, he did a great job and gave me the best haircut I have ever gotten. 10/10 would recommend that everyone checks this place out. Also, it was only $25, $30 with tip, which I think was really reasonable for the quality of the clip.
Ive gone here twice so far and have loved both visits! Kendra does an amazing job; shes such a professional and a lovely person to chat with as well! She executes my hair goals above and beyond what I expect every time. I always leave incredibly happy with my hair. I highly recommend her for bleaching/toning/short hair cuts.
Staff are great and really listen to what you are looking for in a style. Very talented colorists who can keep things simple out go all out with color. I have never had a bad haircut from this shop. Bonus point, they also have an adorable kitty that hangs out with you while you wait!
