Been here twice to get my hair cut by Julio. Nice barbershop, great haircut, pricier than I'm used to but I guess that's just Seattle. Make sure to make an appointment online!

Thank you for your business we sincerely appreciate it, we are currently lower priced then Scotch, Rudys, Squire and Acme.
It was fantastic to find a Barber Shop in the neighborhood that can cut curly hair and knows how to do a line!
Phenomenal service, conversation and a great cut!

Ya buddy! Thank you Sir!
This is the best barbershop around! Piotr, Julio and the crew have transformed this shop into the destination for men of any age. Everyone here is supremely talented. Classic barbershop vibes, with great music, conversation and energy. You can't get a better fade in the city! They also take great care of beards and provide straight razor neck shaves. Love the online booking system too, which makes it very simple to schedule an appointment. Highly recommend this barbershop to anyone, regardless of age or hairstyle.

Thanks, let us earn your business again and stop by the party!
Killer barbershop. I just moved here from New Orleans and was in search of a regular barber. I found one at Counterbalance. I will definitely be frequenting this shop. Piotr was awesome, and friendly and cut my hair in the exact way I wanted. I would highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for a fresh cut.
Julio has been my barber for almost 6 months now and I won't go anywhere else. He is kind, easy to talk to, and most importantly gives a great haircut. He takes the extra time to make sure the style is on point. Highly recommend him!
Updated review: new management/owner actually sticks to the posted schedule, which is nice to have a reliable barber. Great cuts and conversation.
Alright, the cut I received from this place was actually really good. Not many people in town who even know how to cut a medium regular for an active duty Marine, so I was impressed. Nathaniel carried on great conversation and has a great sense of humor.
Why only 2 stars? One star has been deducted for every occasion I have walked to the shop during their posted business hours and have been met with a locked door and no one around and no sign indicating return. This place is down the street from my apartment and I've been trying to give it my repeat business...it seems they might not need it as much as I need a reliable barber, though. Which is too bad.
I'm pretty picky when it comes to my haircuts so I always get nervous when I have to switch barbers. Got a tip from a friend that Julio is the man to see and I've been loving my haircuts ever since. I'd keep coming back for the cuts alone but they've built up a great atmosphere to the place on top of that. Good music, cold beer in the fridge, everyone in the shop is always talking and joking with each other; I definitely look forward to haircuts here. Piotr and Julio are doing an awesome job with this place.

Telor, thank you for stopping by! Julio did his happy dance when he saw the review and says "thanks" as well!
What you get:
- A haircut for $23 (or $24?)
- Friendly conversation (or not) with someone who's local to the neighborhood.
- Close access to dogs. (not great for those with allergies)
- Small wait as I've only seen 1 person working at a time.
- Old fashioned barber chairs.
What you don't get:
- Rinse / Shampoo, so you'll have small bits of hair left over when you're done.
- Cash only, so you don't get to use your credit card. Thankfully there is a Chase right across the street.
