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.
