Been here a few times. Can be hit or miss depending on who you get, but just got a haircut by Keli. Firstly, the cut was perfect. Secondly it was fast, comfortable, and they worked around my weird scalp. Definitely recommend booking with Keli. I know I will next time.

Always reliably quick and easy. It's gotten pricier the last few years though...

Rudy is the best barber in the valley, and his wife is great with my daughters’ hair. They are always quick and easy to work with. You won’t be disappointed.

Friendly, mellow barbershop. I’m a woman and am just kind of over the fussy, expensive salon experience. I’ve seen Betty for a couple of shorter cuts. She’s friendly, efficient, listens to what I’m looking for, and gives a great cut. I’ll definitely be going back to see her. Today there was also a salon dog, which just adds to the low key, approachable vibe. I read through the reviews before making my first appointment I noticed that most of the negative reviews seem to be from people who arrived late. So I just decided I would always arrive on time and it has been totally smooth sailing.

I’ve gotten many haircuts at different Rudy’s locations over the years, and it’s always been a good experience. I made a bad judgment call when I was in fourth grade and got a pixie cut, but the haircut itself was good and the barber did a good job. Don’t know the relevance of that, but whatever. The barbers are always very nice and know how to have a conversation which is always good. Having a barber that doesn’t know how to socialize with the customer and doesn’t have good conversational skills always makes it awkward. I got a haircut on Tuesday and the lady was very nice. She was quirky, but was nice to me and held a good conversation and was funny. I’ve always loved going to Rudy’s because of the atmosphere and I always felt welcome there. Something I do love about it is the walls where the mirrors are – they have so many random pictures and magazine clippings that are always really fun to look at when I’m getting my haircut, and they have them at all of the locations and so it’s always fun to see the variations. oh and I should probably mention that the haircuts are very good and I can always rely on the barbers to give me the cut I want. I can’t say that about a lot of places lol. I will always highly recommend Rudy’s if you’re looking for a quality haircut, I must admit the cuts are not super duper inexpensive, but they are quality and definitely not the most expensive you’ll find around Seattle. Rudy’s will always be a favorite of mine. Oh! Also, every location’s interior is so cool! I recommend the Downtown Ballard location - they have an old water fountain with plants growing out of it and cool bricks that are part of the original old building (if i’m remembering all of that correctly)! Booking is so easy and every establishment is inclusive (they have pride flags up- that’s how I know lol) and welcoming. Overall highly recommend if you’re looking for a quality haircut and a good experience!

I didn't make an appointment, but the hairstylist said if I could wait 20 minutes she could cut my hair. I waited and received an excellent haircut.

Betty was great! Efficient, friendly, understood exactly the look I was going for

Love this place - Rudy's is a chain but this place feels like home to me! So many nice shop dogs Rachel is my favorite barber because she's just so nice, but everyone here rocks. I have had my hair cut by almost every barber who works here right now and I would recommend any of them. ...
