Having your haircut, head shaved with the straight razor, beard trimmed, whatever...at Raad's is guaranteed to be a unique and awesome experience. The dude is just a pro. He is confident, kind, super skilled and funny as heck. He gave me a lot of life advice in addition to cleaning me up. I came all the way from Kalispell, MT to attend classes at the Center: A Place of Hope in Edmonds and was referred to Raad's Barbershop. It was my first experience getting a shave with the straight razor and also treatment with hot towels. Amazingly relaxing. I had the distinct feeling that I was lucky to have a very unique experience, that one can't get this treatment at any ol' barbershop. One of the things I looked forward to most when I returned to Edmonds last month was to go see Raad. (I have probably been to his shop ten times) Not only is he a badass barber but he is funny and nice. His smile is genuine and he remembers you. He is a committed family man and he gave me life advice that I respected and will apply to my own family. His accent is also very cool and I like how he called me "Boss." Thanks for everything Raad. I will be back for sure.

This place is great! Raad was very polite, fast, and skilled. He had a great idea what to do with my hair and prices were very very reasonable. Super friendly too, I'll be back!

Such a good experience! I was very happy with how good the cut looked (I’m an “easy” one, tell that to the last couple people…), and he is so fast with it, too. Man goes about his business! Definitely found my new spot.

Great experience and great cut, always lines up my beard perfectly. Great work for a great price, I’ll be coming here as long as he’s in business.

This was my second time coming to this barber. Upon arrival, I was greeted with Raad saying, "easy money" to the gentleman in the chair. They had a chuckle and I sat down. Every other customer after me was greeted with a hello and welcome. I was 4th in line so I waited patiently. Raad engaged in conversation with each of his customers which is absolutely expected...he was polite and courteous to them. When it was my turn, he motioned for another gentleman to get in the chair. I said that I was next and they both obliged, simple mistake. When I got in the chair is when everything went wrong. I told him what I wanted and from then on, it was a rush to get me out of the chair. I had to remind him for certain services (straight razor line up around my face) which we had previously discussed. My fade is incomplete, there's still hair on face above my beard line, my beard is uneven, and this haircut looks overall incomplete. I'm not a barber but I'll do my best to clean it up. I paid $55 for this rushed and incomplete haircut. I don't mind the price for professional and complete services. Moreover, he definitely seemed to cater to the white older customers more than me for sure. My first experience of this from a person of color. I guess he didn't expect me to be able to afford my haircut. ‍ haircuts usually make me feel good and boost my confidence...this was a bad experience. If anyone reads this and can suggest a barber that cuts type 4a-c hair, please let me know. I need help. Won't support RAAD ever again. Update: As expected you don’t accept responsibility for your unprofessionalism. The haircut was incomplete. You cater to your white clients over anyone else, I’ve seen other reviews that say the same thing about you. What’s funny is that you’re a shady businessman. Good luck nonetheless, I’ll be sure to contact the better business bureau and file a complaint with the Edmonds city council!!

Once again, I don't like to hand out five stars very often; I like to save them for those special, stand out places. Raad's is one of those places! The conversation was a lot of fun. The shop has a mix of old school and a cool modern vibe. The gold barber seats were my favorite! I haven't found it to be easy to track down good men's barber shops. This is a great one. The haircut was excellent, and he was smooth and efficient with it. I'm definitely coming back! I would encourage you to check it out! (Raad is pronounced like Rod)

Epic fades, threading on the brows is a must! This guy knows what to do. Raad is a funny guy, but his cuts take absolutely no time even though he’s methodically making the cut work! Cheers, man

Raad is my go-to barber, he does great fades. Quick cuts, good price.

This man is a professional. Best haircut & beard trim I have ever had hands down! I will continue to come here from now on (bring cash if you want to save $5)

Raad is the man! Great haircuts everytime, good prices, quick and efficient. Nice guy. Have yet to find a better barber than my guy Raad!
