The Barbershop

As a business owner and a craftsman I deeply appreciate watching someone who is a master of their craft. Someone comfortable in their skin, while being concise and graceful in their movements. I recognize it way the old soldiers recognize each other in crowded rooms or chess masters know each other after just a few moves. As I sat and watched him work, I knew immediately that here was a man who knew what he was about. And then without effort, he included me in the conversation, knew instantly that I was new, and made me feel welcome. An expert in his craft. Well I’m sorry to have lost my old barber. These relationships are sacred. We’re old men, how many people do we let touch our aging heads anyway? We want someone who knows what the heck they’re doing! Don’t want to get your hearing aids

I’m proud to be Ryan’s 100th review. He is an exceptional barber who is always kind and interested in the lives of his clients. His determination to provide great service for the cheapest price I’ve found is also astounding. I very highly recommend him.

Ryan is a good barber, but is too independent. I have experienced three times this year (2025) when I have driven in from Battle Ground only to find the shop closed, sometimes with a note in the window explaining why-other times no explanation. I discussed with Brian posting an electric notice as a courtesy but he didn’t seem too concerned or interested in customer communication.

Took my son The Barbershop after he had a botched haircut elsewhere, and Ryan did an amazing job fixing it. He was patient, great with my son, and made sure he left with a haircut that looked fantastic. This barbershop is no-frills—they stick to the basics and focus on real craftsmanship, which is exactly what you want in a barber. The prices are fair, and the quality of work is top-notch. If you’re looking for a skilled, reliable barber who’s great with kids, I highly recommend Ryan!

My 3 year old was very nervous about haircuts after Daddy messed it up. These guys were calm and made the little guy feel at home. He went in nervous and left with a smile. $15 cash only, but service is amazing.
