Counterbalance Barber Shop is a Seattle barbershop focused on short haircuts, fades, and men's hairstyles. The shop aims to maintain a welcoming environment by keeping politics and religion out of the space so everyone feels accepted. Free parking is available directly in front of the shop, with three 1-hour spots and one 30-minute spot that typically turn over frequently. The business does not serve children, citing the use of very sharp tools and concerns about delicate skin and difficulty sitting still.
