Quick info
About Rudy's Barbershop (formerly Bishop's)
Booking at Rudy's Barbershop (formerly Bishop's) runs by appointment with a specific stylist, and stylists are ranked by level, so clients can choose the person and level they want and return to them over the years. The 6th Ave shop in Seattle handles scissor and clipper cuts, razor shearing, beard trims, and highlights and color. Appointments start with a consultation about the cut, and the team will work from reference photos clients bring in. A hair wash comes with a cut. Music plays while the work goes on. The shop opens daily, and it is one of several Rudy's locations, with others in Seattle and New York that stylists sometimes transfer between.

Customer Review Summary
Repeat visitors center on one stylist who followed clients from the shop's New York location, credited with scissor and clipper cuts, natural looking highlights that grow out well, and beard work, plus conversation that several compare to catching up with an old friend. Close behind is another barber praised for a razor shearing method that produced a shaggy wolf cut and for protecting long locks others would have hacked off. The shop itself draws mentions of good music, chill vibes, and respect for identity and individuality. The sharpest dissent lands on one barber: one client booked an appointment and got a very short, near bald cut with no hair wash and says they will live with it for months, while another describes him snapping at them repeatedly and refusing to hear what cut they wanted. A different reviewer counters with four straight cuts from that same barber without a letdown. Several mention strangers stopping them afterward to ask where they got their hair cut.

“Finally! I can't remember the last time I actually got more than 1 satisfactory haircut in a row. I just recieved my 4th haircut from Mike Baronowski and I can honestly say that he has yet to let me down. On average I used to get a good cut …”

“Total waste of money. I booked an appointment with Mike (Level 6) expecting a good hairstyle, but he ended up giving me a very short/bald cut. I was extremely disappointed. He didn’t even offer to wash my hair. Now I have to live with this hairstyle for at least three months. I would not recommend booking with Mike”

I took my friend to get his bushweed hacked off… lol and Shain cut my friends hair perfectly after a short debate between my friend and I.. it was a lovely experience.

“This is based on my Feb 3, 2026 haircut with Mike Baronwski: Mike is extremely rude and intimidating. He did not allow me to explain the haircut I wanted. He snapped at me multiple times. I’m never gonna get an haircut from him. I had an …”
