Exactly what a barber shop should be: clean, comfortable, friendly, and a quick excellent cut. All of these hold up for the Ballard Barber Shop, and then some. This is a one-chair place, and you do get the one-on-one treatment. The price is good for Seattle($ 18 for most cuts), and Bob(and the regular customers) makes for great conversation. The only thing to note is the hours and days are short(M-Thurs, 8a-4p), but if you can squeeze it in, its well worth it.
