Weldon Barber

I’ve been a patron of Tami’s for a couple years now, and she consistently does an awesome job! Always friendly, always on time, and she remembers my cut and the service I always get.
The lobby and workstations are clean, comfortable, and the store has a very relaxing atmosphere.

I couldn’t be happier with Kirsten, she has cut my 13 year old son’s hair twice now. she is so fast and his hair is not easy to cut! He loves it, I love it.5 stars!

A little about me; I hate being unshaven. My wife and kids, however, convinced me to do a No Shave November thing. While I did make it the full month, I cheated by shaving my neck. You know, so that my sweaters wouldn’t pill. I also decided to reward myself with a straight razor shave if I was able to make it the full month.
I whined. I complained. I itched and scratched. But I lasted. And those last few days, knowing that I had an appointment at Weldon was how I got through.
It was easy to make an appointment online and I was promptly seen after I arrived at my local barber.
A straight razor shave is a slow process, but it was relaxing with warm towels over my face and eyes for almost an hour. And the shave is wonderful — my teenage son was suprised at how close of a shave it was.
Unfortunately, the service is on the expensive side, so it falls into more of a treat category. I strongly recommend that a man gets a straight razor shave at least once in their lifetime and Weldon Barber is a place to do it at!

Great cut! When I went there, my hair had been down to my shoulders and I was nervous for the cut, but it looked great and was so comfortable.

Much like the rest of these reviews, I wish I could write a review for just Tami. She is a gem, and she actually took the time to take care and pay attention. I have wavey hair and always seek out a way to style it. She took the time to figure out how I can have a modern cut (slight spike to it). First time ever having that and love her to death for putting in that extra work.
Justin is spot on, the talent has quickly decreased. I had seen Tami ever since she first started at Weldon and refused to go anywhere else. Yes, even while living in Greenwood, I would follow her to Issaquah.
What gives this such a bad rating, is the rest of the staff. I had booked my usual appointment (every three weeks). On back to back occasions my appointment was never booked and Tami was unable to see me. Long drive for nothing. The final straw that had me ultimately start looking elsewhere, was when the only available time to come in was to see one of their ‘senior’ staff (had to even pay extra for her). In the end, I had to go elsewhere to get it fixed, it was a 15 minute haircut, no wash, no neck shave. When asked for why so short and missing this she claimed I booked the short cut (clean up). Never gone in for a clean up with Weldon as I have to get haircuts pretty often due to how quickly my hair grows.
Sadly, to this day I have not been able to replace her and definitely miss her haircuts, our conversations about everything from music to antiques. Definitely miss the experience and the abilities. Even while living abroad for the past year can’t find someone as good.

I have been seeing Tami for about s year now, and I don’t want to see anyone else anymore. She consistently makes my style better and helps me pick out a hairstyle that is a little more contemporary.
I recently had a son and she has more patience than I could ask for while cutting his hair. We sat in the chair, stood up, played YouTube videos to keep him calm. She was a trooper through all of it.
Overall, Tami is the reason I keep coming back. The scalp massage is amazing and her eye for style is spot on.

My husband and two boys have been going to Weldon Barber for a few years now. From the smiling young lady at the front desk to the professional barbers that cut their hair– we couldn’t be happier. The barbers/​stylists always put the full time and effort into each and every cut. Consistency is key. They have it down. Weldon Barber is a very relaxing and clean atmosphere. They love the hot towels and straight razor neck shave. If you don’t know who to see, Catrina & Kayla won’t let you down!
Added bonus: Because Weldon carries Aveda, I don’t have to go to Bellevue to get all the Aveda products that I’ve used for 10+ years!

If this were a review about Tami, it would be 5 stars. If she weren’t included as a consideration, it would be 3. I’ve been going to Weldon for several years, including the Seattle and Issaquah locations. Initially, the persons working there were really high caliber and consistent. What I’ve found over the years is that there’s been a bit of a decline in talent, with some stylists not giving the full Weldon experience and some who just weren’t paying attention to what I was saying, or wouldn’t really ask.
My faith has been restored, but I will now only go to Tami in Issaquah. She took the time to talk to me throughout my cut and make sure I was down with what she was doing. She was thorough. The cut was immaculate. The full Weldon experience was given in spades. I was considering stopping my patronage until my cut today. Second best cut I’ve had ever.

When so many barber shops miss the mark, Weldon Barber hit the bulls eye. As a guy in his late 20’s all I wanted was a consistent hair cut in a professional relaxed environment. I tried everything, «starting at the bottom». I tried some lower end «every-man’s» spots like Great Clips, which were easy on the pocket book but I never got a consistent cut. Plus there are kids everywhere in these shops. Then I tried higher end salons but many of them catered to women and the barbers there also seemed to lack experience in men’s cuts. Plus the obnoxious smells in those shops and barbers who constantly gossip with one another, while they cut your hair. And with all the mirrors everywhere and bright lights it’s anything less than relaxing. Then I found Sport Clips and was glad I finally found a shop that catered to men. And they had Sports Center! Only took me a few visits to realize that the barbers there were college age girls just out of beauty school with a total lack of experience — and wearing the referee shirts does not mean you are qualified to referee the quality of my haircut — which was never consistent. Finally I found Weldon’s. As soon as you walk in you are greeted with dim lighting, a quiet environment, and friendly staff. I used to hate getting a haircut after a long day in the office but I truly look forward to a cut at Weldon’s. It’s a half hour escape from email, from chores at home, from traffic, and I always leave with exactly what I was expecting — a quality cut and a relaxed state of mind.
And for you guys in your 20’s who never plan anything — Always book an appointment a week ahead of time. You can’t expect a good table at a top restaurant without a reservation, why would you expect it anywhere else? Put a monthly reminder in your calendar like a grown man and take some pride in the way you look. Perception is realty for the beholder so remember that when you are getting dressed, combing your hair, and deciding whether or not you will shave (always shave unless your name is Jeff Bridges). You might think no one notices, but they do, and their perception of you is their reality.

Place is super nice and relaxing. I’ve been here twice and I have gotten a haircut and a shave (goatee), very pleased with the results. only problem is that this place is too expensive for my budget, although I still might come in every once in awhile to treat myself.
«If you got the dough, this is the place to go!»

I’ve gone to Weldon Barber twice now, and both times the experience has been fantastic enough that I will recommend it to anyone.
First off, I highly recommend Kayla if you go. She truly pays attention, will give you the cut you want, and make it look better than you thought it could. It had been a couple months since I had seen her last, but she remembered me and my wedding, which definitely earned some customer service points for me.
The first time I went was a couple days before my wedding, so I was a bit nervous trying a new place. My worries went away once Kayla got started, as the whole experience from beginning to end was top notch, and I’m proud to say the haircut I received is one that I’m happy will be in my wedding photos forever. It looked great!
The second time around, I wanted to try something a bit different, and Kayla was able to knock it out of the park! Loving the new cut already, and wanted to share my experience here.
Now, is $ 30+ a bit much for a men’s haircut? Maybe. But is it worth it for the experience you receive? Definitely. Scalp massage, hot towels, straight-​razor neck shave, and you’re feeling like you’re in first class in their comfy leather chairs. This is a man’s place for sure.
So, if you want more than just a clip and see you later, I highly recommend Kayla and Weldon Barber. Plus, you can schedule your appointment online, so easy! Stop thinking about it and go already, you won’t regret it.

Went for the first time today, and it was a great experience. Everything from being offered coffee as I checked in, to the hot face towels. I suspect that many will find the cost a bit much, but they definitely provide a better overall experience than most. Will definitely be going there again.

Per usual Maria is awesome, to the point and does a great job. I talk to people constantly for work, so it’s nice to come in and zone out and not make anyone feel awkward I’m not chatty.
Weldon Barbers in Issaquah or Seattle I can definitely recommend. 2 years and not a single bad experience.

Although the service is pricey it is definitely worth every penny! I was a little gun shy about going there for my first time, and even at reception, but when I met Tami, the service actually began. Tami is the best, and gave me the best cut ever! She is very personable and discusses every aspect of what you want and what she is doing at every point of the process. If you want good service with a good cut, massage, and final presentation, then Weldon Issaquah is the place and Tami is your girl!

Been going here for awhile now. Friendly staff, quality stylists that listen and tailor your hair cut to your needs all the time. Highly recommend coming here and highly recommend seeing Kayla as your stylist!

This place is awesome! So worth the extra $ 10.00 over sport clips. Make sure you make an appointment– they are booked SOLID most days.

Great cut by Kayla and I think they only employ models. Every woman there is beautiful.

I went to Weldon while on a trip to the great Pacific Northwest, and decided that in addition to the cut that I needed, that I’d also get some color done. I booked on my cell phone, and when I arrived I found the place to be attractive. The receptionist was very friendly and helpful. I got right back into my stylists chair and got introduced to Kirsten.
I’ve never colored my hair before and Kirsten was very patient and was willing to try several different things until we got the result I was looking for. She was friendly, accessible, and professional.
I was on vacation and I wasn’t really concerned with time. She spent about 90 minutes with me and I left satisfied with the service and the outcome. Great job, would recommend. Only caveat is that their cuts are a little expensive, but the color price is reasonable.

I was told about Weldon from a friend who tried them last week and I wasn’t able to go to my normal Barber Shop; the waiting area is extremely small though well displayed and the plethora of product interesting. 4 Stars to the building and layout. 5 Stars to Tara but a fat 1 star to the receptionist… she was cold and did an absolutely horrible job explaining why I didn’t qualify for a Military Discount. I highly doubt I’ll return.

This is my go to place to get my haircut, I haven’t been to any other place that can cut my hair as well and as consistent as they do.
Make sure you pick the right barber, I strayed away from my usual once and it was a nightmare.
