About Rudy's Barbershop

Rudy's Barbershop is a chain of barbershops founded in Seattle, Washington in 1993, with locations primarily on the United States West Coast. Known for their casual, retro-hip aesthetic, the barbershops can be found at Ace Hotel locations in Seattle and New York City. The staff is welcoming, and the locations are clean. Customers praise the skilled stylists, particularly Sarah P. and Samwise, who are highly experienced, friendly, and able to provide exceptional haircuts that bring out the best in their clients' hair. They often leave feeling better and in a good mood after their appointments. Customers also appreciate stylists like Summer and Lionel, who do a great job with cuts like long bobs and asymmetrical fades, delivering stylish, sharp, and well-executed results. The barbershop's friendly atmosphere makes clients feel like they are visiting with friends, and they leave looking and feeling great.

Lionel is AMAZING! He works magic on my thinning, perimenopausal fine hair, my son's unruly but fine waves, AND my daughters impossibly thick, course and extra long locks. Bonus that the atmosphere at Rudy's is so welcoming and inclusive.

I had Lionel, and he was absolutely amazing! I’m not really too familiar with different cuts and hairstyles, so it’s kinda hard for me to exactly describe what I want/envision, but he listened to exactly what I had to say, guided me through the entire cut, and was just overall very attentive, detailed, and pleasant. 100% worth the price, and I’ll be back here again. Thank you, Lionel!

re: Samwise @ Rudy's on 21st

I have very fine, curly, textured hair, and I've only found a handful of hairstylists in my lifetime who legitimately understand how to cut and style it in ways that I find flattering. They really listen to me when I talk about what goals I have regarding my hair and Samwise has the (rare) ability to cut & style it exactly as I envisioned--or, more often, even better than I hoped. On top of that, Samwise is a delight to talk and interact with: they embody a life of radical authenticity that I find truly inspiring. Thank you for helping me finally like my own hair, Samwise! You're a rock star!
