I wanted a cheap, funky, consistently stylish barber, so I tried Rudy's: no go. I just can't handle the pornography in the bathrooms. Call me prudish, but in my quest for a moral hairstyle, I found my new friend Amanda at Lucky 7. She since moved to Acme Barbershop on Capitol Hill, and I happily followed her there. The benefits of Acme: fun atmosphere, including a pool table and crazy punk barbers; and free parking at the Starbucks (shhh...). You might find it a little overwhelming, but I find it to be a great mix of reasonable prices and consistent service. Plus there's never a wait.

There are a thousand little barbershops all over the place anymore. Rudy's has made a great impression and everyone around them is trying to copy their success. Acme has done so with a bit of a flare. The location is great being right on the corner of Denny and Bellevue. The environmental is awesome. Lively music, old fashioned chairs, lots of industrial materials, tons of black and white pictures of clients. I've never had to wait for more than a few minutes. When I do find myself waiting, another station pops up the next time I visit and there's no longer a wait again. In the very rare occassion that I do have to wait, there's a pool table! Hit a few balls in while waiting, or just go to play a round, they don't mind. I've mainly had cuts from Angelique, the sweetest stylist in Seattle, who will never remember your name, but will act like she's known you since birth. Then there's Amanda and all the others that I've had cuts from. All equally as good. I'm never disappointed.
