Eleventh Street Barber

Thank you jack! Fantastic cut, awesome shave. Thanks for the hospitality. Very welcoming place. Next time I am in town I’ll be back!

They give great haircuts and beard trims however the wait is ridiculous. Don’t plan for anything afterward. We’ve been waiting for an hour and 45 minutes and my husband just got in the chair.

Pluses are: Old time ambiance, pricing, friendly professionals, hot lather finish. Negative is the waiting period and no way to track who is next in line. A small sign-​in blackboard would fit in nicely.

The wait times are insane! And I’m a patient guy! But after waiting 2 full hours, I saw exactly three customers move through each chair. I don’t mind waiting, but even the barbers’ demeanor was so nonchalant, casual, and chatty. Cut for ten minutes, chat for five. that sort of thing. I felt like my time was of no concern to them. I get it. you are not the $ 10 fifteen minute haircut kind of place, but a little consideration for the long list of people waiting would have gone a long way. Only reason I didn’t give one star is because the quality of the haircuts seemed relatively high. Go here if you have an entire afternoon to waste, but if you have plans, skip it.

First time thru the door. Interesting. Not your normal haircut shop. Seem to be genuinely interested in you. Caught me off guard when they offered me a beer. Next time I will make sure I have cell phone charged.
Watched s dad bring his son in for first cut. Jack had everyone smiling. The kid was a real star but the Barber was incredible.
Well worth the money.

After going with my boyfriend to get our hair cut, I have added Eleventh Street Barber to my list of favourite barbershops.
Their prices are fair ($ 18 for a cut), the barbers friendly and very detail/​quality-​oriented, and the whole shop has a wonderful atmosphere.
The wait time can sometimes be a bit lengthy and they don’t take appointments, but honestly, with such great service, that’s hardly a bother. And if you’re of age, they’ll offer you a beer while you wait.
All in all, if you’re looking for a quality haircut for a good price in Astoria, Eleventh Street should be your first choice.

Great shop, great vibe, prices are reasonable, and the haircuts are excellent. I only have three complaints:
1. The wait is atrocious no matter when you come really. I’d love to see them have 3 chairs open most times because I hate having to block out an hour and a half for a haircut. I’ve shown up right when they open and there are 4 people waiting. I’ve shown up at 4pm and there’s the same. But there isn’t another place in town that can touch their quality so I make do.
2. Don’t accept credit cards. This isn’t abnormal in barber shops because cash transactions don’t leave a paper trail of what a barber actually makes, and it doesn’t cost the shop money in fees.
3. They don’t take reservations.
That’s it. If you come, plan to wait. Enjoy your time there, grab a beer, and have some conversations with the barbers and the folks waiting alongside you.

Great place. Nice staff; prices are reasonable considering old school techniques are use like straight edged razors and warm shaving cream.

I went to this barber shop after reading reviews here on Unilocal.I was not disappointed. Very good work, be prepared for a wait; but a worthwhile wait!

After reading other reviews, I decided to give this place a try while visiting in Astoria. I have been accustomed to the mediocre haircuts from the large chainstore establishments. This was the first real old-​time haircut I’ve had in years. Even down to the straight razor trim on the neck.
The only downside… be prepared to wait. This isn’t a high production establishment… expect a haircut where they will take their time to get it right. Oh, and they only take cash or checks. And a discount for military and vets.
Highly recommended!

Only place I’ll go. Sarah Jane knows how to cut.

I needed a haircut and it was pretty hard to find a barber along the coast until I got to Astoria OR.
The venue is super cool looking one. Vinyls, pictures and brick used as legs for almost anything that is on the floor.
Upon walking in I was greeted instantly. After few minutes, since both barbers were busy I was offered a beer which was/​is their way of killing the time while waiting. That’s amazing if this place was in different spot in bigger town, I assume lines would be insane.
I forgot gentlemen’s name but he was very professional and very attentive and good in communication and keeping the whole time while I was seated in a very good level of conversation.
I paid 15 $ plus 5 $ as a tip. I think is worth the wait, doesn’t matter if you drink or not. You can drink while you get your haircut if you would like too!

The best Dam barbershop west of Seville Spain! You ever notice how hard it is to find a barber in Seville? Sarah who is most Likely the only Vidal Sassoon trained barber in existence and also the proprietor of this chilaxian shop has some serious skills! I have never had a bad haircut or even a mediocor one with Sarah! Now go get your haircut! You won’t regret it.

Lupe can cut hair! Was a great experience. I’m in the military and usually get the same hair cut every time. Medium fade with a scissor trim on top. Walked in and felt welcome as he stood and had the chair ready.
Sat down and told him what I wanted and chatted. Now, I usually sweat bullets during my hair cuts because of my anxiety. It’s something I hate. But was comfortable and happy.
Awesome fade, straight razor clean up, the beer part was offered. But 10am is far too early at my age. Haha.
Lupe is the best barber in the Astoria/​long beach area

It took me three bad haircuts and one self-​imposed wiffle to find this place after I moved from the East Coast, but boy am I glad I found it!
The Eleventh Street Barber is an olde tyme barber shop, it’s walls adorned with classic records, Big Lebowski artwork and clever trinkets.
Lupe is a skilled and gifted craftsman, who recently moved here from Bend. He does a commendable fade job, and without the assistance of attachments. I walked outta that place lookin’ like Ralph Fiennes from Schindler’s List. (Yeah, that’s right.)
Nobody would even hire me in this city until I got this haircut. It was the type of haircut that can make things happen for a man. The kind of haircut that demands respect and compliance.
We also bring our son here to get his mohawk done and they bang it out in no time flat. Every other barber in Astoria just wobbles anxiously and repeatedly displays an overwhelming air of uncertainty, which often ends up with an off-​kilter, crooked cut. But at the Eleventh Street Barber, they do what they gotta do to get things done, and they don’t make a big deal out of it, either. They just do it. And they do it well.
If you ask nice, they’ll finish you off with a little splash of Bay Rum to the neck.
Tell ‘em the Clubman sent’cha.

Yah! I am a fan.
Swung in on my lunch break and received an excellent hair cut.
15 bucks for haircut that far from the usual assembly line barber haircut. She even used a straight edged razor on my neck. I have never paid so little for such a quality job.
In addition the space is welcoming and hip without feeling like Hawthorne St. in Portland threw up all over the place.
Finally the barber could tell that I was not into much for conversation and didn’t talk my ears off. I really appreciate that and will definitely be back.

Cool shop, recent owner change (?) but Olynxa is awesome. I feel like I get some soul therapy while I’m in there. Chillin’, chatting, listening to some blues or jazz. I like this place. Cool coffee house right across the street too!

The place is great. I really like the new management! Quick and quality work.
