A true "old time" master hair craftsman...
August 24, 2021
"My story. Patronized a stylist that unfortunately retired. So after many years of great haircuts suddenly found myself a free agent needing an artist to barber my locks. Experimented with other Barbers in the area where I received so so Haircuts. Not happy. A good friend recommended Off Main Street Barbershop whereupon I found Nathaniel. What a joy! A true "old time" master hair craftsman whom delivered a great haircut every single time! Oh so happy, found nirvana! If you find this recommendation over the top, make an appointment with Off Main Street Barbershop. You will be thrilled." ~ James P.S. Yelp

10/10 experience...
July 6, 2021
"Recently moved to Bothell, and got my first cut with Nate. Super easy to reserve a spot online, and this is maybe the 2nd or 3rd time in my life that I want to go back to the same barber.Listened to what I wanted, extremely skilled at his craft, and a just an overall great experience. I'm super happy with my haircut and will regularly schedule more appointments. 10/10 experience.." ~ Doug K. Yelp
Even with no power...what a legend!
April 2022
"The power went out in Bothell and Nathaniel still pulled through by calling me up and making sure he could cut my hair with scissors and a comb. Even with no power I still got a 10/10 cut...what a legend! If you're looking for a solid haircut and good conversation, Nathaniel is your guy." ~ Andrew Mallek. Google
...an excellent, professional barber...
April 2022
"Nathan is an excellent, professional barber. Also, a great conversationalist if that's your thing. Takes walk-ins, but I highly suggest you schedule an appointment. He is busy/popular and is usually booked up for days in advance.." ~ Daniel Michael. Google
Most importantly he does a great job!
March 2022
"I've been to this barbershop a couple of times now, and it was a great experience both times. Nathaniel is personable and patient. He asked follow-up questions since I stated things using jargon instead of plainly stating what I wanted - which is great! Most importantly, he does a great job!" ~ Lee Wallen. Google
...everything you want in a barber...
November 2021
"Nathaniel is everything you want in a barber: he is professional, asks good questions, does great work, and charges a fair price. If you are looking to step up your game, he won't let you down!." ~ Eric Swanson. Google
I love my new hairstyle!
November 2021
"I love my new hairstyle! Nathaniel was very detail-oriented and cut my hair really well." ~ Cayenne Starr. Google
THE MAN!
October 2021
I have tried more salons and barbers than I could count, and Nathaniel is THE MAN!Today was my first time here, I actually got my appointment wrong and he was very understanding. Got exactly what I wanted for a fraction of the cost compared to those chain stores. I couldn't recommend this place enough! Nathaniel also taught me how to use pomade to style my hair, this was the first time I had a hairstyle, so, that was really helpful!"." ~ Si_Vis_Pacem Para_Bellum. Google
Actually listens to what you want. Amazing fade.
September 2021
"Best haircut I've had in awhile. Actually listens to what you want. Amazing fade. First barber to actually not take any off the top when I say it. 10/10 will be back" ~ Thomas Jones Moore. Google
I did not hesitate to follow him...
Decemeber 12, 2022
"Nathaniel is a great barber that I, and my 3 boys, have been going to see for years. When he moved shops recently I did not hesitate to follow him even if that means it adds a considerable amount of driving time for me. What sold me on Nathaniel since day one was that he does not want you to walk out of the shop without the haircut you wanted, and that applies to adults and kids. Any adjustments I have requested, he did willingly and made sure it looked right. Everyone is given adequate time in the chair and never rushed out the door. Also having appointment options is a great feature as you can plan opposed to walk-in and hope you get in quick. He is great with kids, handles vague requests from customers :), and provides great conversation!" ~ Adam L. Yelp

"Great little gem and a classic gentlemen's barbershop. This was my third visit there and I wanted to make sure I had enough info to write an accurate review. Nathaniel performed all my haircuts and I must say he is very good, consistent and a true professional. He is very miticulas and did not rush through during the haircut.
The shop can get busy so if you go, I strongly suggest calling to make an appointment. With Nathaniel in charge, you're in good hands at Off the Main Barbershop. There is also ample parking outside the shop.
If you go, I strongly suggest bringing enough cash to pick-up some amazing donuts next door (they don't take cards), arguably the best donuts in Bothell!" ~ A. Shaffer Google

"Saw some good reviews so I decided to check the place out. The barber Nathaniel is extremely meticulous, and cares about giving you a great haircut and does a great job. He's also incredibly honest and up front. He's out there to give good service and make a living from that, not to make a paycheck at your expense, which is rare in today's world. The shop itself is small and aesthetic, good vibes. I will definitely go again and will recommend him to others." ~ Elliot Sherrow Google

"This is a tiny 2 chair barbershop w/ a fun retro vibe & 2 barbers who are quite talented. I brought in my 2 sons. My youngest wanted to look like Hawkeye from the Avengers. The barber did a fantastic job and cut out side designs were perfect! My other son went for a traditional cut & beard trim, and he was pleased w his haircut also. Great barbershop that can do both trending styles & the traditional haircuts." ~ N.N. Yelp

"Can't recommend off Main Street enough! Nathanial is great, he is down to earth and is always down for a decent conversation. He does a good job cutting hair too.

"This is the first place I've ever been to that has gotten it perfect. I've tried so many barber shops and nobody came close to Off Main Street.
I have trouble communicating what sort of cut I'm looking for usually, but just a flash of a picture and the barber here was able to put it into words for me. On top of that I had been growing my hair out for like 8 months so it was well past time for me to go in. Somehow he still managed to give me exactly the haircut I wanted. Super impressed.
My no hassle appointment was made over the phone, and I am definitely gonna be back the next time I need a cut. Price is beyond fair. Be sure to call ahead of time for appointment openings." ~ Gregory J. Yelp

"Finding a good Barber to not only get my hair right but also my beard is tough! My hair and beard always leave looking oh so fresh! Nathaniel prides himself on making every cut perfect! Quality over quantity is really his motto! Over the last few months he has learned and always remembered my style and tastes. Great little shop, suggest calling and making an appointment rather than just stopping in for best service! Will continue to come back as long as I live in this area!." ~ Austin P. Yelp

"In the word(s) of Archimedes.. (he said it first): EUREKA! I can't tell you how long I've been on the "Barber Quest". It's been years, actually. Well, those days are over! Seriously, Nathaniel has earned a permanent position in my Preferred Providers list.
I always put off getting a haircut because I'm rarely satisfied with the results. I did it again, with the aim of finding the guy whose new business was mentioned in a Facebook post. A bit of internet searching led me here, and 30 minutes later I walked out transformed! Well, maybe not TRANSFORMED, but definitely very satisfied. I even got the Geezer discount.
In case you haven't noticed, I highly recommend the place. Good conversation+good haircut at a reasonable price." ~ Hanafi, L. Yelp

"I was a bit desperate to get my preschooler's hair cut before school starts next week and his usual stylist recently quit her job and everyone else at the "kid friendly" places I usually take him was booked out.
I walk by this business frequently and had taken note of it's classic vintage vibe and my son had noticed it too and thought it was cool. I checked online and was surprised to see kids cuts offered so I popped in and was able to get my son a same day appointment.
Nathaniel was fantastic. He's experienced with working with kids and had the coolest booster seat for his chair. My son has super fine hair that shows all the cuts and this cut turned out AWESOME!
We usually get haircuts at Sharkey's or Bella and Max so I wasn't sure what my kiddo would think of this adult experience since he's complained about other more simple salons I've taken him to. I asked him for his review tonight. He LOVED it! Why? Because Nathaniel put a neck paper around his neck before putting the cape on. "I wasn't itchy afterward! Let's always get my haircut there!". Sweet. This place was also easy on mom's wallet..". ~ RL Yelp

"I have been getting my hair cut by Nate for several years now. Nate is a meticulous perfectionist, which is very important for me that my barber takes their time and does quality work. Nate is friendly and can easily hold a meaningful conversation with you while cutting your hair, but also has a good sense of when a client would prefer just the cut and no extra conversation. He totally gets it and is always professional. His pricing is very fair for the quality of his work. He is located in the HUB which is excellent for UW students and anyone living in the Udistrict area. I travel in personally, but it's well worth it for the standard of service that I consistently receive. He can accommodate walk-ins, but it's always best to call ahead.
If you are looking for a quality cut from a knowledgeable and friendly barber, that always takes his time and makes sure things are just right, Nate is your guy."

"Great hair cutting by a skilled barber! I have been a client of Nathaniel's for several years. I travel a ways to get to the HUB on the UW campus, and it is worth the trip. It is a pleasure to watch the care he takes with every client and I appreciate the results each time I visit." ~ Mike N. Issaquah, WA
