Rudy’s Barbershop

Geinno is the most amazing, and artistic hair dresser there ever was. I would call him the Michaelangelo of hair, or anything artistic. Make an appointment with him and watch the magic.

Traveling for work and I had an incredible haircut that was perfect! Great fade and if I am in Portland again I will be back! Thanks Marley for a great cut!

Had an amazing experience with Bird Lindsay. She made my vision happen and the process was lovely. I didn’t feel urged or pressured to keep up conversation and was able to relax during the hair cut. I plan on going back to get color done by Bird Lindsay as she has a stunning understanding of color theory and application as shown by her recent FB page posts. I’m looking forward to what she will do and pleased by what she has done so far. I highly recommend her and will go back.

$ 29.00 for a hair cut, nothing special,$ 29.00 for a hair cut is not only wrong but it’s ugly to ask that much for a trim. Scalping is more like it. Keep you’re /&!:@ haircuts pal.

I’ve been going to Felicia and Veronica wherever they go. The two have been a team on the many things I put my hair through and they have done magic every time. Seriously they are THE BEST!!! Now they are here at Rudy’s, great location, best product lines, clean environment, all friendly all the time.

For a bad-​ass color and cut, see Felicia, Ginger, or Veronica. I usually go to Felicia – she recently fixed a messy balayage done by someone else, and gave me a killer set of bangs. I swear, the bangs made all the difference to my attitude.

Got the perfect buzz cut for me with Ellie. This is my fourth cut with her. This time I explained what I like since I have grown a beard and she confidently dialed in just the way I wanted it. Buzz cut number three on the sides. Buzz number two on top since I am very barren in that area and only have a few hairs left there anyway that I want sticking up. And since I’ve grown a beard longer than my hair make the transition from the sideburns to beard look good. Keep it straight in the back. Good as it gets for me! My buzz cut is well with my soul! Ellie is my go-​to now when I need to clean up the hair look.
By the way I see a lot of people in the salon doing some really nice cuts. I just wish I had more hair to work with.

Awesome place! Great service! Great prices! Lisa gave me a fantastic and fun cut that I totally love! I’ve got long curly hair and she knew just how to tame it and make it gorgeous! I love this salon and I’d definitely recommend it!

I’m writing this review twice ( Unilocal deleted my first one before I posted it) because I feel super excited about sharing my experience here. I have an undercut, and one side goes just above my ear. When I walked into the salon my stylist Ginger came out. Super friendly, really awesome. I told her what I wanted and she was so down for it, it made me feel awesome. As she cut my hair she showed her extensive knowledge of the bone structure and the thorough experience in cosmetology she has. She rocked this hair cut man. Cleaned up all my lines and even added stripes for me. On top of all of that, she only charged me $ 12 which is the price for a regular buzz cut. I’m definitely coming back everytime I need a cut. I mean, seriously. I’ve never been this happy with a haircut.

Liv does magic! Happy I was able to have her cut my hair. Highly recommend her and the shop.

Rob S. is a Magician. I am a 62 year old female. My hair is impossibly thin, patchy, baby fine and wants to grow clownish waves. I keep it short. No one has EVER been able to create the illusion of a normally full head of hair til my hero Rob came along. I recently followed him from Hillsboro when he decided to go to work for Rudy’s in the Pearl. It is a long way to go for a haircut (the Pearl District is definitely not my «thing). But if he moved to Vancouver I would follow him there in a heartbeat! Rob is a great stylist with a gift for working with difficult hair. Thanks Rob! Oh yeah. I liked Rudy’s too!

Okay color, terrible cut.
My color went alright though my stylist didn’t space my highlights in a way that would be shown off by the cut but I mostly blame the cut.
I asked for shoulder length, not a broomstick-​head (which requires some shaping, nothing too fancy but yes some layers and a bit of thinning as my hair is super thick), and bangs. The bangs were okay but the rest: broomstick. She curled the ends so it wasn’t until two days later (when I was out of town) since a good blowout lasts a couple of days and I washed and started to dry my hair that I realized my hair is one thick mop of shapelessness. I would have gone back for the guaranteed recut but a) since I didn’t wash until two days after and was out for another day at work, I missed their cutoff day (kind of unfair to women), b) since she chopped so much I’m not sure I have much to cut without going from broomstick to mushroom, and c) why would I trust the service again?
I get that this is a chain, but it is way too expensive to do this poorly of a job. Not going back.

Just got the best haircut from Veronica. Will totally be back to see her the next time I’m in town.

If you’re a guy, skip the 30 dollar haircut and go to Barber Q on Hawthorne. 13 bucks, same haircut.

Worst haircut I’ve had to date. I’m so upset right now. I’ve had great experiences here before, but not this time. I asked for her to shape the top and to leave length. Specifically, taking weight off in areas around the part and apex to create a better shape. I explained she could shorten the bang area. This is not at all what happened. I asked to put my glasses on to check it out. When I did, I was pretty surprised at how much length was removed. I voiced this to her and she replied «no it’s not, you were watching me the whole time.» Interesting, because I had my glasses off the entire time and couldn’t see anything she was doing. Yes I’m really angry with how my hair looks, but would have been willing to work it out. Her response was unprofessional. I know. I’m a hairdresser. There’s nothing to do now but grow it out again. I also have to change the color in attempt to disguise what happened. There’s a lot more to tell regarding the mistakes made, but it’s unnecessary at this point.
I have always been happy with service here. I have nothing but positive things to say about the staff and especially the manager. He addressed it personally with me and was very kind and understanding. I really appreciate him taking the time to speak with me. He offered to comp the next cut and recommend a stylist. I will graciously accept the offer, but it’s going to be awhile before I need another service.
The worst part: I feel ugly

Snobs! I happened to be passing by Rudy’s and decided to stop in. I told the man behind the counter (who had a very ‘exhausting’ and pretentious demeanor, that I would like to make an appointment for the following day. He said «what, i don’t understand what you’re saying?». I repeated my intention. He said, ‘oh, you can only get an appointment by REQUEST’. I said, ‘ahhh, ok’. Then he said ‘or, you can just call ahead about an hour before and hope we have something available’. I just turned and walked out.

Justin did it right. I hear it’s a little pricey for PDX, but I’m willing to spend $ 3 or $ 4 extra for the peace of mind and the easy location (live NW). The men’s haircut is still under $ 30.

Call in at least a hour ahead of time or you may expect a ~25min wait
The atmosphere here is very fitting, sort of a cross between a bar and barbershop (they do not serve drinks)
I was helped out by Andrea, very patient and knowledgeable. She made sure I liked my haircut and did not mind making any adjustments. Great service.
Tip: They have a lot of better than average hair products. I recommend asking them for a rundown of their products and have them use it on you as a trial. I ended up getting the bumble and bumble tonic.
A solid no fuss barber, a little on the pricier side for a barbershop but what you get is a solid haircut.

After we checked in the hotel in the morning, we walked around and I felt I needed a cut to feel freshened up for our trip.
We came in here and after a little bit of a wait, I got a excellent cut from Sarah. She was very fun and had the easy vibe about her. She gave me some excellent recommendations for the city and she shared some of her views about the city too.
On top of all this, my haircut was very sharp looking and I felt like I could be in GQ after that cut.
Thanks Sarah!

I just got the best haircut I have gotten since I visited Tokyo a year ago. I walked in on a Sunday after I arrived for a conference and they booked with with Dee.
She is really fantastic and was able to diagnose all the problems created by my interim haircut I got in the U.S. 5 – 6 months ago. It took at least an hour or more for the wash, trim, dry, styling and Dee was completely methodical and has a really sharp eye. She knows what she is doing and takes her time to reach a level of perfection you usually have to pay an arm and a leg for.
What is more surprising is this costs $ 34, which is incredibly reasonable for a women’s shampoo, haircut and styling. If you go there, make sure you give them a really generous tip because they completely deserve it.
I’m even more thankful for the really nice, high quality products they use in your hair, such as Davines and Malin and Goetz. My hair is now incredibly healthy and easy to style. Thanks Rudy’s, I only wish you guys were in San Francisco soon.
