Sal's Barber Shop

Recently started coming here. My old barber Jon now sits out of here and it made it easier for me to schedule and get to as opposed to going to the east side. Love the spot and ease of scheduling last minute. Super clean spot and easily found parking out front. Great cut as expected. Would recommend if you’re looking for a barber that values your opinion and give you ideas of what cut fits your style.

If you’re an Asian guy looking for a barber in Capitol Hill who actually understands Asian hair, go to John. After my first haircut with him last year, I’ve followed him to every location he’s worked at. He listens carefully, communicates clearly, and truly understands how Asian hair behaves. He also cuts with maintenance in mind — he knows how your hair will grow out over the next week or two, so it still looks good, not just fresh for the moment. Highly recommend!

Very satisfied and pleased with my haircut from Jonathan! I came in for a maintenance cut for my skullet hairstyle and was met with excitement and eagerness to cut/style my hair. I felt heard, respected and welcomed into the shop with great options for availability for a quick appointment on short notice! Definitely recommend and look forward to returning.

Good vibes in a chill Capitol Hill setting. Big shout out to Jon, one of the newer barbers there (as of this review), for hooking me with a sweet fade my very first time in his chair, and on short notice. Professional, personable, and precision cut — doesn’t get much better!

Jon (guillotinebarber) goes absolutely above and beyond to make sure you leave the shop looking incredible. He has great attention to detail and always makes the atmosphere light and casual. Definitely recommend my guy Jon to anyone that needs a fresh fade.
