Brynn at 15th Avenue, Seattle Rudy's is one of the BEST hair stylist - EVER. Never had any issues.

I have short hair and went in for a basic haircut, was charged $60 for the "long" haircut that took 25 minutes. Was told they raised prices and wouldn't budge.

Chris went above and beyond with his service. Rudy's got me in for my haircut quickly and the service was great. It is a very friendly vibe inside the shop. I will definitely be back and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good haircut.

Great place to get your hair cut and styled. Feels really local even though numerous other Rudy's locations exist. Online scheduling makes it easy to either find the right stylist or time.

Signed up to get my sides clippered. They changed it to a short cut without informing me, assuming because she said she should trip the sides so it doesn’t poof out. I ended up paying for a full cut without getting a cut. I was in the chair for 7 minutes. When I mentioned it, she made it sound like it would impact the stylist pay so I left it as is. I won’t be back.

I’ve been going to Rudy’s barbershop for the past eight years. My typical barber was out on vacation and I needed a haircut stat today. I was seen by Judis. They did an impeccable job at cutting my hair, and it made my day week and month. Judis Thank you so much for your attentiveness and keen Barber techniques!

Had a 10:30a appointment, called from outside the store at 10:28 letting them know I was going to be a few minutes late. They said no problem. Took me 10 minutes to find parking on a Sunday morning. Arrive at 10:39a. They then inform me they can no longer take me as I am past their 5 minute courtesy window. Why didn’t you mention that when I called? They said they couldn’t even fit me in until afternoon. There was 1 person in the waiting room and last night when I booked, every slot was available from 8am to afternoon, and you can’t fit me in as a walk in? I would have waited. I am a community member looking to establish a regular place to get my haircut, and I will not be doing so at Rudy’s. I’m a single dad who sometimes runs slightly late, I try to do my best, but wow, I was very disappointed at how this was handled.

THREE'S A CHARM! I had tried two other Rudy's before landing at the 15th Ave E location. I came in sporting a frizzy, "Gilda Radner" -- curious as to what kind of hair magic might await. Megan the wonder stylist knew exactly what to do with my long-ish curly hair, and had a new product suggestion too -- Curl Cream! I'd purchased (and tried) an array of products (Serum, Gel, Mousse, Leave in Conditioner, Masks, Etc), and now understand the value of a great cut and the right product! It's day 2, and it still looks and feels fantastic. Thank you Megan!

Brynn is by far the BEST hair stylist and I have used her for years at the 15th Avenue (CapHill, Seattle) location. Flawless! Not even a hair stand and being missed for a cut!

My long term stylist was Jessie, who is awesome. Sadly, she move outside of the Seattle metropolitan area, which led me to try another stylist. The first cut Skinner did was fine as she followed what Jessie had done prior to her departure--a French bob. The second cut she did was all over the place with the left side and right sides looking completely different with lots of choppy layers! The lower back section was more like a mullet as it grew out. Thankfully, Pam, the long term stylist of my longest best friend in Pennsylvania, was utterly horrified when she viewed the photos. She was completely flummoxed when she saw my hair in person. It took her over two hours to undo as much of the damage as possible, and she's still shaking her head over it. Unfortunately, traveling to Pennsylvania regularly to see Pam isn't feasible. Given my experience at Rudy's since Jessie's departure, I am ending my relationship with Rudy's. The first two photos are from my awesome haircut with Jessie and the next three photos are from my second haircut with Skinner. The last two photos are from my restorative haircut with Pam. I've received so many compliments on this super short undercut bob and am grateful she could work her magic.

Made an appointment on their less than friendly app. Appointment and confirmation for 6:15 PM. The stylist at the check in desk said their computer said 6:30. I showed her the confirmation. She said "oh well". I've been going to Rudy's on Pine ever since they opened. I would at least gotten a "sorry". Somebody needs to do some customer service training-especially in a "new" location. Oh, and for God's sake fix your scheduling app.

I was regular here for several years from approx. 2015-2018. At that time, with the manager's help, I booked appointments several months in advance (again, this was years ago). Part way through these appointments, they raised their prices by a considerable amount, and I asked they cancel the remaining appointments they had made for me. I proceeded to not come in the shop for months and took my business elsewhere. No big deal, life goes on. Months later, I was out of town and got a call from Rudy's. I missed the call and checked my voicemail, and it was the same manager leaving me an extremely angry, upset message chastising me for "no showing" at my appointment and that I was "banned" from booking there. I still had a picture of the note she had written my appointment times on months before and texted her the picture and reminded her that she had made me those appointments and I had asked her to cancel them. She apologized and admitted she was wrong. I considered the matter settled and went to random Rudy's from time to time after that. Never had an issue. Cut to August 2023 and my regular stylist was on vacation and I needed a last-minute blow out for a work event. I go and see Adam on the 7th and got a really quick blow out. I didn't say a word beyond basic pleasantries, paid and left. Then on August 11th I call and make my son a last-minute appointment at a different Rudy's and someone from the call center contacts me back an hour later and tells me they have to cancel it because I am "black listed" due to "events at the shop on 15th." I explained that was cleared up years ago and the manager at the time apologized and the person on the phone says "no, this is recent, the manager on 15th just called me and told me to cancel your appointment." So, apparently, I did something wrong on 7th? I showed up on time, didn't complain, barely spoke, paid, tipped, and left. I don't understand what I did wrong. I never had a cross word with anyone there at any point (except when the manager called to yell at me by mistake) and never complained (even when I should have). I think this is a really unfortunate and immature way of handling whatever issue it is that I supposedly caused. I am not a regular, and this is no big loss to me, but I think others should know how perceived issues are handled. On general principle, it seems like bad business to fire customers.

I got a simple blowout from Adam for a holiday party and wow...I got ALLLLLLLLLL the compliments all night long. I hadn't really considered Rudy's as a stop for blowout, however, if you want to get a long lasting style job that's under or about an hour, I HIGHLY recommend reserving a spot with Adam for your next soirée or if you just need a boost for the week. I'm booking him for NYE, a summer wedding, and whatever else crops up this year so I may regret leaving this glowing review but hey...he's good!

Yelp
Extremely expensive for what you get First, be ready to pay $30+ (with tax, tip, and credit card processing fee) for a 10-minute buzz cut, with no pleasantries and little attention to detail (not trimming long eyebrow hairs). Second, their fee structure is VERY customer unfriendly, as others have spoken to in previous reviews. They charge a credit card processing fee. Thats fine if you accept cash. But, they can't be bothered to keep change, so it's very difficult to avoid using your card. It reminds me of Spirit Airlines where it's almost impossible to avoid the junk fees. If they want to price for a quality haircut, they should get the details right and make their policies work for customers.

My stylist Jake does a great job. What's ridiculous is I called to tell them I'd be FIVE MINUTES late, i was in my way there, and they forced me to reschedule!!! It didn't matter to them that he schedules appointments an HOUR apart and my cuts are simple and take 20 minutes MAXIMUM; I always decline the shampoo and "product" routine. That's just stupid and wasted his time and mine. I've gone to Rudy's shops for 10 years and I'm never going back. I received an email from Rudy's today that lied to me twice: Jeffrey C, who responded below, should acquaint himself with the facts before writing a flippant response. First, it claimed my stylist schedules appointments 20 minutes apart, which is NOT true. The proof is in the stylist's appointment calendar for the week beginning 6/27, which I've posted below as photos. Second, they implied I should be grateful for not charging for "cancelling" my appointment. I did NOT cancel it. I called to let them know I'd be 4-5 minutes late.

Charged 15 dollars more than what was mentioned at the front desk. I was shocked. I explained what I needed and the host said short cut. Which was listed as 42$ but then was charged 57$ plus the tip. Seems this occurs often. Not nice.

I have hair that falls to about halfway down my neck so I booked a long hair cut the first two times here. Went to a stylist who was recommended by a friend and got a pretty decent cut the first time. It was just fine even though at the end I needed them to go back and make some changes. Totally acceptable time and they were very friendly! Went back a few months later for a trim and they only let me say "trim" before speeding me through a 30 min "long hair cut" experience that didn't look anything like the previous cut. It was ok but I wasn't that happy with it so I called the Rudy's reception desk to ask if I could come back for an adjustment. It was past the 7-day cut guarantee but since I didn't need a full hair cut, the reception person transferred me to the location's reception desk. I explained to them that I didn't need the full 60 minutes and I just needed an adjustment so they went ahead and booked me for a "short cut" (AKA 30 minutes). I guess no one consulted the stylist about this choice because when I arrived for my appointment, without preamble, the stylist hurriedly told me there was no way they could give me a "short cut" since my hair was a few inches past my chin. I tried to explain what happened but they didn't listen and really rushed me out and said the only way I could possibly get a cut in that timeframe was if they cut straight across the back without any texturing or layer or shampooing. I didn't want a shampoo but the person seemed so stressed about the whole thing that I really didn't want to push them into something that made them uncomfortable. I felt bad for them and for the whole experience was stressful for everyone involved which seemed avoidable. I wish the reception people had consulted with the stylist first before I came in and made their day more frantic than it needed to be. I think everyone was doing their best but it really feels like the communication fell apart on Rudy's end. I want to go back but between them not giving me a chance to explain what I was looking to have done and the stressful interaction I probably will look elsewhere.

This one is pretty good. I liked the ambience as normal and the vibe is good. There was plenty of room to distance. My appointment started about 20 minutes late though; the food place I was trying to go to closed before I could get there. The barber was pleasant. Conversation was a bit awkward to start but we found some common interest and that was nice. The haircut I got was good but I'm pretty simple. I get a pretty "off the ears" kind of haircut. Overall good experience but paying $40 ended up being a bit painful to pay for a basic haircut and being 20 minutes late

I had a last minute same-day appointment at the very end of the day, and a woman named Charlotte took such excellent care of me, was joyously passionate about the haircut I wanted, and I walked out of there feeling so incredible and in love with my new cut. (Which was precisely what I wanted!) Highly recommend.

Very disappointed in the turn Rudy's has taken during Covid. The quality of the haircuts have officially reached SuperCuts level yet they still charge over $60 for a men's short cut. I've officially moved on and will be supporting small-business barbershops. Unfortunately I don't think I will ever go back to Rudy's :(

Was the haircut better than I could do by myself at home? yes. was it a Good haircut? lol absolutely not, but you get what u pay for I suppose. Scheduling was fast & easy, the person who cut my hair was nice enough. If you're like me, impatient and just want the hair off yr head, it's great. If you want a quality salon experience, you will be deeply disappointed. It is what it is!

I love this barber shop. This chic little barber shop is in the middle of cap hill. Price was a little bit more, but you get what you pay for. The staff, and clientele, are very friendly and personable. I'm very hesitant about trying new barber shops, as I've had three brain surgeries due to cancer. And, several areas of my head/scalp are hyper sensitive. I explained the areas to be gentle with and cautious. I can't remember the barbers name, but he was incredibly gentle and constantly asking how I'm doing, if anything is hurting. He took his time with me, made sure everything looked perfect. All while asking if I'm ok, anything hurting, how am I doing, etc. I've never had a more attentive barber. Most barbers I tell them the caution areas and they go to it. Rudy's made sure I was pain free, will most definitely be coming back. Thank you Rudy's!

Excellent service and price. I called ahead to see if they do walk ins - it's kind of complicated but they booked me over the phone for an appointment in less than an hour which was perfect! There was only one other person getting serviced at a time there very properly distances away so I felt good about that. They did a temperature check and other covid screenings before I entered. My hairdresser was the best I ever had! They knew exactly what look I was going for even though my explanations were kind of wishy washy. The best part is- if within 7 days I decide that this haircut needs to be fixed I can come in and they will fix it. I doubt that I will but it is nice to know.

Thomas was so great!! I had an idea of what I wanted and kind of an end goal for my pixie grow out... They knew what to do and talked about my hair type with this cut and how it'll be growing out. Went out last weekend for the first time in over a year and I got SO MANY compliments on my hair! My favorite: "You rock the shit outta that hair cut". Left Rudy's feeling confident and happy, very excited to go back to Thomas and continue this pixie journey!

Ever since moving to Seattle, I haven't been able to find a decent hairstylist. I've loved other hairstylists, but they were ridiculously expensive, and one took waaaaaaaaay too long to get a cut and color (seriously, I spent 6 HOURS at one place while the stylist juggled me between other clients - NOT COOL). Then I figured I'd check out Rudy's Barbershop since it was closer to my house. Now, I usually say "you get what you pay for" hence my penchant to typically select higher-end salons. But clearly I wasn't happy enough given the price I was paying. Through the luck of the draw, I randomly chose Jessie as my stylist one day at Rudy's, and I haven't looked back since. We don't have the same type of hair at all (which is usually what I look for in a stylist), but I discovered that doesn't matter if you have a good stylist. What I like is that I can tell her what it is I'm looking for, and she's very deliberate and focused when cutting my hair, which I certainly appreciate. I can honestly say that in the six times I've seen her so far, I've never walked out disappointed. I have coarse wavy/curly hair, and have been sporting an asymmetrical cut with a shaved undercut, so, you know, not the easiest haircut ever. So, six times and zero complaints may be a record for me. The folks at the main desk have always been friendly and knowledgeable about the products they carry. (They carry a large variety of Bumble & Bumble products, which I also love.) I love that this little barbershop - national chain though it may be - exists in my neighborhood. I personally would recommend checking them out. Good people, good products, worth the price and then some.

NEVER AGAIN I will take my business to this place. I had an appointment today at 4 pm. which i show up in time, and i was greeted okey by the people in there, Then it was my turn to get the haircut (and i did had an appointment) SO when i took a seat to get mi haircut the Barber asked me what are we getting today? and i politely and smiling said Oh i want a haircut and a little bit of my beard done, and he reply " OH i only have time to give you a haircut" not for the beard "sorry" and i was like WTF for real? and i said Sure, so i seat there feeling that i didnt want to be there. Keep myself quiet to the entire process, wanting to suddenly LEAVE cause he didnt have enough time for me as a customer. And then when he was almost done with the haircut he said: OH I DO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF TIME, what do you want to do with the beard?? and i said NO THANK YOU, he asked again are you SURE? and i said no thank you. I never felt so disgusted and poorly treated as a guest or a customer, this was one of the worst experience i have had a a customer. IF you ever want to feel as a number, and they dont care about you and the experience you are getting You should go to this place, and the entitlement the barbers feel cause they are all booked is so disrecpectful. NEVER AGAIN. i came home so upset yes i got a haircut, but my beard is still not done, and it was cause the barber said OH i dont have more time. WTF. and i did had an appointiment, so whats the point??

I moved away from Seattle a few years ago but I still miss getting my haircut by Megan S. at this Rudy's. Megan is super knowledgable and easy-going, and was always more than helpful whenever I wanted to change something up but had no idea how to explain it. Simply put, Megan is incredible at her job, and frankly she's just one of the coolest people I've ever met. Would highly recommend booking with her!

Driving by and needed a haircut, saw they had just opened and they were able to fit me in as a walk in. They only have street parking, but if you get lucky it's a One Hour limit right out front. Got a pretty good cut and nice conversation. The price was a bit high but seems to run about average for Seattle ($34 for basic cut). I have been able to find cheaper cuts in other cities recently but Seattle just seems to be a little more pricey for haircuts. Overall nice clean place, friendly people and got a good cut. The price makes it drop to 4 star.

I can't even put into words how much I love Jessie and what she has done for my hair since I started seeing her. She is a total dream and she has given me the haircut I've been trying to get for the last 5 years via fancyshmancy instagram star hair stylists in LA and SF for hundreds and hundreds and HUNDREDS of dollars. None of them got it, but she did! I thought I was cursed to have the Zooey Deschanel cut for life but Jessie liberated me into a chic and edgy style I never thought I could have pulled off- she's also quick, charming, darling, and criminally affordable. I will follow her wherever she goes forever.

Started going to this Rudy's location about a year ago as it was closer then the original capitol hill location. This place rarely has walk-in appointments and today they don't have any appointments for the next 2 hours. During the day? What-the-what?! Usually if you go they will try to fit you in after looking VERY annoyed. What happened to the old Rudy's? The place that was casual and you could get decent hair-cuts at a reasonable price as a walk-in? Welcome to the new hill. Forget it... at this price point, you minus well go to a real salon. One where the stylists care about you as a client and you can get consistent service.

Yelp
During the pandemic this place has gone extremely downhill. Used to be better. Cuts are of same quality as great clips and for triple the price. This place tries to hold their stylist to such high standards when they don't know how to do a simple cut. Instead of letting you know if they don't know how to do something they will try it anyway and you will regret it. Stay away or be disappointed. Used to be my primary place, now will never return.

Will G.

Yelp
Very expensive, yet prices seem to keep going up even though services have been diminished. Now they want you to prepay online just to book an appointment? No thanks. Time to find a new barbershop. (And if a barbershop can utilize that to launch a hotel company, then they are massively overpriced)

Mary cut my hair today and it was the best haircut I have ever had in my life. Not only was I extremely happy with the result, but the experience was also relaxing and enjoyable. She took her time, I could tell she cared and went above and beyond my expectations. I'm so happy with my hair and to have found a hairdresser I can trust! The sense of comfort Mary created was lovely. She was so warm and welcoming, I'll definitely be back to see her again!

I was 6 minutes late to my appointment tonight and Sage turned me away saying she wouldn't have time to trim my hair, dry trim, no need to do anything more. I've come here consistently for over a year and have never been treated so poorly. She blamed me and offered for me to travel back to them 2 1/2 hours later while she was sitting in the corner on her phone, saying 24 minutes is not enough time to work with me (she didn't care enough to even ask what I needed done). My time and travel is worth a lot to me, and should be valuable to Rudy's. I will not be coming to this location again. (EDIT) I just spoke with the shop manager Taylor about the issue above and she totally eased my frustration! She assured me she would speak to the stylist and front desk person, she scheduled an appointment for me with one of their veteran stylists, and offered to comp my service! I am so thankful for her help. I have changed the stars to five and my faith is restored in Rudy's! Thanks Taylor!!

As usual, it's Rudy's...so don't come in expecting good or decent customer service from anyone besides the stylists. The first impression, and very much so at this one, is just so mediocre. The reason for the four stars you ask? Cameron was lovely. Besides giving me my favorite haircut ever, she got to know me. She asked me just the right questions about what I liked about my current hair and what I want it to look She was very personable and very friendly. I will be back and I'll be bypassing the check in and going straight to Cameron!

Another great cut and color from Jade - This time I went from shoulder length to a pixie and full color. Jade did a great job and I couldn't be more pleased with my new look. Was there for cut one day and back for color the next day - which took 3 hours due to my hair type. She was totally patient and focused. I'm moving soon, and will really miss the comfort zone I've developed with her. I'm picky as hell and she always delivers. Thanks Jade!! I do wish the front desk was a little friendlier but hey - they don't call if the Seattle Freeze for nothin'. :)))

Tried this place twice with a year in between. Both times as a walk-up. I usually go to a slightly pricier barbershop on the hill, but my barber moved to Queen Anne. My first trip to Rudy's was ok but not tight. The second time my barber started off with attitude. I tried to make chit-chat, but she wasn't a talker, fine. I gave her specific instructions on my cut to which she promptly turned me away from the mirror to hack away at my head. I noticed a lot more hair falling in my lap than I expected so I requested her to turn me to the mirror multiple times. She said she couldn't see my hair if she did that and that "no one else complains." I understand people have bad days, but I have to live with this hack job for at least a few weeks before I can get a proper barber on it. Won't be back.

This is one of my two go-to places. Ashley has cut my hair the last two times, and has overachieved given the challenges of my weird hair. Others at this location have been great too. (I'm tempted to give them 4 stars, because they're often booked solid and I cherish the flexibility of walking-in.)

Trying to get into Rudy's is like one of the circles of hell in Dante's Inferno. They don't take reservations, which is ridiculous. If you walk in, they will give you a wait time estimate, but then they will give your spot away when it turns out their estimate was wrong. When questioned, the cashier admitted that she doesn't really know how long the wait will be but only guesses. Wtf? Worse, people who call ahead apparently take precedent and will bump you lower down the list, even though you're physically sitting there waiting. What a messed up system! Who has time for this?! Are Seattleites really willing to put up with such crappy service? This would never fly in a real city. And why on earth does Rudy's still not have a reservation system?? It's a big chain in multiple cities, so it clearly can afford the software. Even small single-store salons take reservations. Clearly, Rudy's does not care about its customers. Ridiculous. Won't go back.

This is my second time here. The first time was good, like any other Rudy's. This time I called before I came and the girl said it will be quick, there's nobody here. So I walked there (5 minutes from my house) and ended up waiting for an hour. Not sure how the reservation system work, but at least 5 people came after me and got their hair cut. Since I had to be somewhere, I couldn't wait forever and left without a hair cut. I wish they had a better system.

The three times we walked in there, there was the same short receptionist with long dark hair and bangs. All 3 times she glared in our direction like a 15 year old girl who is annoyed with her mother. She then followed up the rude body language with being rude in general. Thomas cut my boyfriends hair the first time we went in and did a beautiful job. We checked out with the same receptionist who continued to be rude despite our happy nature andkm great tip. The second time I called ahead to put my name on the list, because that was what they said to do, and that very same girl yelled at me about how they don't make appointments...I then said I was coming in in 30 min and that I would like my name on whatever list I was supposed to be on. I walked in, greeted by the same "why are you bugging me" attitude that we experienced before. I got my hair cut and the girl did an ok job. She was a little nicer than the girl at the front desk. By the time I went to pay the receptionist, she had gone on her break and a guy had covered the desk. He was much nicer. The third time we walked in we decided to go at the last min, so we did not call ahead. My boyfriend approached the receptionist to ask to wait for Thomas to finish who he was working with and she responded with "you cant" and then continuing with the rude tone told us that it would be another 2 hours. I have been the receptionist at a few different places. The one task that absolutely all receptionist are supposed to do no matter what is greet the customer in a happy and welcoming manner. Not drive the customers away. No wonder there is no one in there ever. I feel sorry for Thomas, he did a really good job, and he won't be getting return business because you have to go through her to get to him.

So I could have given them a 3 or a 5! Let me tell you why! It took forever to get my haircut - my husband and I both came in he got his buzzed and was done. The other two girls there had to go on break or something and were oblivious to me waiting - the manager had to go get the girl after she left to come get my haircut done. They only trim not shave your beard - (you think they would shave you being called a barbershop) the reason they are a 4 is because the girls were awesome! The girl who ended up giving me My cut knew what she was doing and did a great job!

I needed a cut and was in the area. I am so happy that I stopped at Rudy's. I had to wait a little bit but walked around to kill some time. Megan (blonde short hair) was my stylist. She did an amazing job and was very friendly! She listened to what I wanted and stuck to that. I only wanted a trim with some layers and she did a perfect job with the length. I try to keep my hair long so I really appreciated that she did not cut more than I wanted - which I've had happen many other times. I'll be going back to 15th for my next cut. Thank you, Megan and Rudy's!

I recently went to Rudy's Barbershop to get my hair bleached, toned, and cut. Megan Schranck did an incredible job! She greeted me with enthusiasm, walked me through what to expect, showed a mastery of her knowledge and experience, and made me smile and laugh throughout the process. My hair turned out wonderfully with no yellow or orange tones I've had in the past, and she even entertained my French Bulldog who I brought along. Following the bleach and tone Megan gave me a perfect haircut to compliment the new bleached look. I'll be going back to see Megan from now on, and I was very pleased with the Rudy's crew. Great shop, friendly and welcoming employees, and wonderful experience. Keep up the awesome work Megan and Rudy's crew!!!

My boyfriend got a cut here from Ashley, he wanted it short on the sides faded up and a trim on the top. He gave her a photo to reference and she completely disregarded it, gave him a mohawk that basically looks like a toupe sitting on top of a buzz cut. It looks like someone quit halfway through a buzz cut. I get that a photo reference might not be the most accurate way to describe the cut you want or maybe he didn't communicate well enough but she completely missed the mark. She missed the part line, the back is crooked and its like she wanted to get it done as quickly as possible. Personally, my cuts from Rudy's have been pretty good aside from layers I never asked for the last time.
