I see some reviews about the shop having hair all over the floor. The thing is, the people in there are clean and the hair on the floor isn't greasy. 6th Ave is dirty, greasy with homeless-tramps and you're walking upon that filth! I'm a very clean person, but I didn't feel unclean in this barber shop. To respond to the reviews about cleanliness: I watched Jon sanitize everything he used, the hair on the floor looked just washed because the clientelle was businessmen and well-kept children, and Jon works fast in front of a large crowd- one patron after another comes out looking polished which means there's not time to sweep between patrons- there's just not time- also, there's not space to sweep because he fills the shop with customers. This guy is busy and handles that fact very, very well. I also saw him give a screaming, squirming child a perfect haircut with a line out the door. It's air-conditioned in his shop, by the way. It's hard to believe one review that said he ever cut a child.... I'm wondering what were the details during the event in which that reviewer's child supposedly was cut... I saw Jon, well-past closing time, use a straight razor on men while a lined-up crowd looked on- Jon is deft and complete. I would recommend him for all boys and men. Jon will listen to what you want, ask a few questions, and send you out the door in 10-15 minutes ready to do business. I would recommend that someone donate some new magazines to Jon so that he can clear out the old ones. And the print of a painting that Jon has on the wall is a beautiful painting but the print is totally faded. If a wealthy patron really likes Jon, get him a real acrylic or oil painting like a Norman Rockwell-type or a local Hilltop artist- something big that's fun to look at while waiting. That's my only criticism of this shop, it needs a piece of real art.
on's Barber shop has been for me the shop in Tacoma. Jon is Thorough, knows all types of cuts. Its alway Casual inside when you go make sure you come with some sports knowledge. So you can join the conversation of the talk inside the shop to great place to go.
