Great work! I always look and feel way better after I get a fresh cut at the Counterbalance Barbershop. No better out there. See you again in a month. Cheers🥃

Reviews
When I first moved to the area, I found Jerardo and really liked his work. He ended up moving locations to re-join Counterbalance so I tried a couple of other barbers, but I wasn’t happy and went back to Jerardo.
Since then, I’ve been going to him consistently and wouldn’t go anywhere else. He’s quick without feeling rushed, consistent, and easy to talk to.
100% recommend Jerardo if you’re looking for a barber. Best to make an appointment online.
I shopped around a lot of Seattle barbershops and counterbalance has been the most consistent, high quality haircut I’ve had. The stylists know what they’re doing, they’re friendly and the prices are very reasonable.
Overall great experience, strongly recommend anyone that wants a great cut go to counterbalance!
shoutout to Jerardo and Julio!
