This place is amazing. I been coming here for about a year and a half or so now and i get an amazing cut every time. Alex always takes the time to make sure you get a good cut and the style you want. They are very nice and the atmosphere is good!

Alex is great. Hes a talented barber and very personable. He knows how to sculpt a beard. They are in a new location in the same building its got windows, plants, good tunes, good people, and good beards. Highly recommend.

Alex and Gabby are the best! You can tell Alex really loves his job and treats everyone that walks in the door like family. They are extremely personable and try to understand their clients needs. Best barber youll find! 10/10

Alex and Gabby are fantastic. Alex is passionate and takes a lot of pride in his work, which is apparent with every cut. I’ve been going to him weekly for over 9 months and get a consistently good cut every time. The two of them make a great team and are super personable. Highly recommend.

Been looking for a good place to get my hair and beard dialed in. He was recommended by the salon my wife goes to. He took the time asked how I normally do it, and helped shape my hair to look better than I thought. Highly recommend and am now a regular customer.

Alex is an excellent barber and the shop is very welcoming, professional, and timely. Strongly recommend

Best barber in downtown Tacoma hands down.

Big Dawg Barber Shop is the best! Alex always does such an amazing job and he really has an eye for a good haircut!! The shop is always so clean and has a really cool vibe, we always feel welcome when we walk inside. My husband gets his hair cut here every 2 weeks and I enjoy tagging along for the good company and atmosphere. A very cool business for sure!

Best barber Ive ever had!

My husband gets his haircuts regularly with Alex and I come with him to hang out in the shop. Its great that we can bring our dogs to hang out and they have candy and cool plants to look at. I also love how good my husband looks after his haircut and beard trim, and the products Alex uses on him smell soooo good!

After the shut down, we were in need of a haircut.... bad.My sons have never been to a barber before. We found Big Dawg online. Alex did not disappoint. Excellent haircut, professional, great conversation, cool shop.My son was not sure what to expect. He was one happy kid when he left and I was too.Great overall experience. Thanks Alex

Alex is hands down the best barber I’ve found since moving to WA! He’s super personable, and has been the only person to fade and style my hair the way I like it!! Plus the shop is a really cool setup that makes you feel at homeThis is the only barber shop I’m going to go to from here on out!

Holy cow. I went from covid beard of over a year to getting asked if I had plans on valentines day from random women every store i went to. My ol lady might not be as stoked on the transformation cut as I am lol....give em a shot youll be back.

I started coming to Big Dawg after my old barber closed up shop and recommended that I come try this place since he himself got cut here. Now that Ive tried it, Im here to stay.Alex is a true professional who has mastered his craft. He can do anything you want but also has a great eye that can take your look to the next level. Top notch fades, great scissor work, just quality from top to bottom. If you are anywhere in the Tacoma area, this place is worth the trip.

I’ve been getting my hair cut by Alex for about 8 months now and I’ll never be going to anyone else. Stand up guy who loves what he does, and he absolutely does an amazing job. He now cuts my dads and my brothers hair as well. Always professional and goes above and beyond to make sure that my hair is cut to perfection. Do yourself a favor and get a straight razor shave as well! Alex you’re the man!

Alex is a great dude that gives even better cuts! My buddy recommended him, and told me I won’t want to go anywhere else. During my first visit I saw how listens to what you want, takes his time, and is a perfectionist, crucial qualities in a good barber. I don’t go anywhere else and neither should you.

Alex does a great job! Super friendly, chill shop with good music and good conversation. Gave me a transformation cut, and i’ve never felt better about having short hair. Even gave me recommendations about products that make sense to use in my hair. Recommended to a friend and he loved it too. Shame they’re tucked away!

Alex is not only a great barber, but so easy to talk to it makes the experience worth the drive. He takes the time to make sure you get a great haircut and if you’ve ever gotten shaved by him to, then you know what’s up! Looking forward to getting back in the chair. Thanks Alex!

Alex is very honest and captures every moment from beginning to end. When I moved here from out of state, the work he did with one of his clients I came across blew me away. He doesnt get the respect and recognition I feel he deserves. Words cant express my boundless gratitude for the many compliments I get by his passion and work of art. Thank you Alex

Went antique shopping and ended up with an amazing haircut. You have to try Alex he ... he is legit and I love his passion for making you look amazing. First person other than my guy in California that has cut my hair in 20 years and I will be back. You have to let Alex give you a makeover. Will be back.

Always giving my man amazing haircut! They never fail for professionalism and perfection!

I’ve been going to Alex since he was in barber school, and I wouldn’t recommend anyone else. Flexible, understanding and easy going. The shop is a direct reflection of his personality. He cares for his clients and takes a lot of pride in his work.

BEST BARBER IN WA. Nothing but the best to say about this shop. Was getting cut with this Barber when they were in another shop and now that they have THEIR OWN SHOP I’m not going anywhere else. I have thick hair that normal barbers can’t handle but this Tacoma local KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING. White, black, yellow or orange, Trust them to get you looking your best. Plus you schedule an appointment so you don’t have to wait for your turn like other shops. Easy af. Check them on IG @bigdawgbarberco

Great haircut, good conversations. I will be back again. Always happy to support a small business and someone passionate about their craft!

First time at Big Dawg Barbershop and I am blown away. The service is unbelievable and Alex ensures you are taken care of! The location is perfect and intimate 10/10 highly recommend!!

Best barber in the area! Awesome shop environment, very professional quality service. He cut my hair for my wedding and I couldnt of asked for a better cut. 🔥

***POSTING ON BEHALF OF MY HUSBAND***if I could leave 10 stars i would! Alex, you just gained a new customer for sure.Super clean shop, very knowledgeable and very nice!!

Honestly the best haircut experience Ive had. Theres a reason Alex is always booked!

Such a great place, I love the environment! My boyfriend won’t go anywhere else to get his hair shaved and a beard trim!! Would 100% recommend.

Alex is great, offered advice on my hair and taught about how to care for my beard. A notch above a normal barber. Added bonus, supporting a Veteran owned business.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Alex is a knowledgeable and professional barber. His shop is warm and welcoming and he will be getting my business from here on out.

Its a haircut the way you want it. Or even something new but just done right. Youll feel comfortable here because its appt only and you wont get roasted by your friends at the cookout.

Alex was my barber for over a year, and he still would be if I hadnt moved. He would always make accommodations for his friends and loyal clients. Hes a great brother and someone worth befriending. If you are looking for a chill place to get a cut, then stop by. If youre looking for a barber that will learn how your hair grows and work with it, always giving you a unique haircut, then Alex is your guy!

Honestly, Alex has been my go to guy for haircuts. Always sends me off with a fresh cut, clean, lean and feeling fly. Great dude, good vibes, true homie and would never go to another barber again! His shop is a unique place to go to as well and really happy to see his business grow!! Definitely highly recommend going to him!! 🤘🤘🤘✂️💇‍♂️💈

After my first two cuts I got compliments while out from complete strangers about liking my hair cut.... as a Veteran I enjoy working with Veteran business owners. Alex is a great guy, my barber 💈, and if your looking for a consistent cut then he should be yours too

Alex is a super cool guy that you will enjoy getting a cut from. He spends as much time as necessary to make you look great. He gave me the best haircut I’ve ever had. I will always be going to him from now on. Check this place out 100%

DONT WANT TO BEAT A DEAD HORSE BUT!! Best barber in Tacoma. Alex makes you feel like family and an important client, he never rushes and most importantly makes you look good.

One of the best in the business. Gives great cuts, super personable, and really cares about his clients.

I’ve been going to Alex for a while now, and every time I go and get a cut it’s always clean, kept, and the nice part about going here is the cut takes time. This shop will make sure you leave with a solid haircut every time. And the personality behind it is always cool and laid back. I’ve recommended this place to coworkers and will continue to do so.

Alex is an incredible barber - he’s super knowledgeable and talented. Great shop for haircuts and beard trims. Highly recommend.

This place has to be hands down the best barbershop in the Seattle/Tacoma area.The professionalism and skill craft that Big Dawg Barbershop provides is truly amazing.10/10 would get my hair cut here again.

Absolutely amazing Veteran barber! I will never go anywhere else. He trims and lines up your beard perfectly too!!

Stopped by as a walk-in. Place is difficult to find but worth it. Alex is a great experienced barber. Excellent skills and conversation. Highly recommend to any locals or visitors.

Great barbershop! Down to earth barber, great cut and awesome place to get a haircut. Would 100% recommend if you are coming into Tacoma.

Alex is a great barber and a blast to chat with. I look goooood and if I lived here this would be my spot. Get in here before he’s too popular!

Awesome fade and great customer service! Really took his time and did a fantastic job. Love the cut and owner!

Best barber EVER! Amazing cut every time. Alex and Gabby are so personable😊

Alex is the only guy I go to to get my haircut!

Spooky vibes around the whole antique building, amazing stores around, this barbershop is pretty darn good for a solo barber. Defiantly check this place out. Downtown Tacoma is making moves.

Alex does an amazing job every time I come in and super friendly as well!!

Alex has been cutting my hair for a couple years now & is amazing & always has me looking my best. Definitely go & see him.

Alex has been cutting my hair for 2 years now and Ive never had a bad cut. Fade is in point. Part is on point. Shave is on point. I go in about every 2 weeks and he always takes his time never rushes to get more people in always a top dawg cut.

The atmosphere and people here at Big Dawg are unparalleled. Every time I come in I have a great experience and leave with a clean, professional cut!

Best prices and best service EVER for our undershaves. This will be our regular spot from now on!

Recommended by my brother to get a haircut here and it is definitely worth every penny. Quality alone speaks for itself, but then add the environment that Alex has created rounds out a great experience.

Alex has been my go to barber for the last year and a half. Never have I gotten a bad cut from him and he is always willing to work with me to get a last minute appointment when I need it. Definitely one of the best barbers in the area. Very military friendly and super chill dude... if you are a taller person (like me) he is able to still reach and give you the best cut you can ask for (dont judge a barber by his height lol)

Traveling for my job I always find it hard to find a barber that provides A+ haircuts everytime. Alex does an amazing job especially on fades and is a down to earth human.

Something to be said about the a great true barber shop experience. Thanks Alex. I will definitely be back.

Been getting my hair cut by Alex for quite some time now and has never disappointed me, very versatile with different hair textures. He is always very professional and makes good conversation, makes you feel comfortable.

Best barber ever! You’re stupid if you go to anyone else. My man was hot before, he’s even hotter now!

I have been following Alex for 3 locations as he now owns his shop! Best barber in Tacoma hands down! 💈

Amazing barber ALEX has been cutting my hair for two years now and has amazing talent and drive great conversation and skill and is only growing should def come get a haircut drink and add his Facebook and Instagram!!

Actual mad lad when it comes to cutting hair, no complaints on anything, the haircuts are phenomenal

Alex always does an excellent job and gets you took care of on your time I drive from Graham to downtown Tacoma. Worth it everytime.

I will now be getting my haircut and beard trims at Big Dawg Barber Shop. If you live in the Lakewood, Puyallup, Tacoma, you need to make at least one trip down and pay them a visit. Absolutely phenomenal service and of course my favorite part, veteran owned and operated 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🤘🏻🍻
