Brad has been my barber for the last 8 years. My hair is difficult to work with and it feels like it's mostly cowlick. I have a long history of bad haircuts because barbers just haven't been able to figure out how to work with my goofy hair. Brad jumped into the project the first time, by thoughtfully assessing what he was working with and adjusting accordingly. I have literally never had a bad haircut since i started going to him. He's funny, he's personable, and the word on the street is that he used to drive a Miada.

Had my second cut with Bradley Mowen (formerly of Rudy's) and I'm sticking with him! He really wants to get the cut right. He asks questions, listens to the answers and... gets it right. I also appreciate that he moves as fast as I need him to. When I was in a hurry, he blazed through it. When I wasn't in a hurry, he kicked back and gave me the full experience. In both cases... he got it right. Also discovered that he's got some serious rock/metal bona fides. Rock Steady indeed!

Cassie is an outstanding stylist and I am thrilled with my cut and color. She never disappoints! Fantastic staff, atmosphere, and trustworthy service. Definitely a return customer!


Jan 23, 2025

Had an awesome and relaxing experience with Cassie! She did an exceptional job with my long thick hair and her attention to detail was top notch!


Jan 16, 2025

Brad’s been cut in my hair for years. Glad to see him in a new salon. Highly recommended.


Jan 16, 2025

Cassie was a pleasure to have cut my hair by! She was professional, made me feel pampered and taken care of and gave me everything I asked for. She’s thoughtful and made sure I was comfortable with every cut. I have long hair, that I care a lot about and she gave me plenty of respect. Thank you!

Love my new haircut from Angelo!


Jan 06, 2025

Absolutely love getting my hair cut, styled and dyed by Angelo Terracciano! His precision cuts and knowledge of color is unsurpassed. Angelo is also such a delightful person, excellent conversationalist, and makes me and my hair feel renewed. I dig the location too! Rock Steady Hair provides a great atmosphere with refreshments and fab tunes!


Jan 06, 2025

Angelo is THE BEST! He always does an amazing job. I have super long and thick hair and he always achieves the exact look that I want. He’s a hair wizard! Thank you so much Angelo 🥰


Jan 06, 2025

Angelo started doing my hair in March 2024. He colors my grow out, adds highlights and cuts my hair every five weeks. He’s so talented and entertaining at the same time. I’m so happy, with his services. He was referred to me and I feel very fortunate to have found him.


Jan 06, 2025

I absolutely love this place! I’ve been getting my hair done by Angelo for almost two years now and have been so happy with the results. Highly recommend working with him! I have had so many bad hair cuts / styles in my life and I feel really grateful I can finally trust that my hair will always look good after coming here.


Jan 06, 2025

I’ve been a fan and loyal customer of Rudy’s Phinney Ridge for some time now. For at least the last decade I’ve gotten cuts from Brad whenever I can and I’ll be following him to Rock Steady next month. Brad has always given me an excellent cut. He’s always prompt and professional but he’s also interesting and fun to talk to. Try him out and feel free to ask him about his old Miata 😁.


Dec 06, 2024

Angelo is a master at his craft!! My color came out exactly how I wanted, and my haircut is super cute and healthy!


Dec 06, 2024

Outstanding. Alicia is amazing and always does an outstanding job with cutting my hair. Been coming back month after month.


Dec 06, 2024

PHENOMENAL haircut! I came in after getting a horrible haircut at Rudy’s and Angelo saved the day. I seriously can’t recommend this place enough. Angelo was funny, a great conversationalist, and fantastic at cutting hair. Can’t wait to come back!


Nov 06, 2024

Alicia gave me literally the best haircut I've ever had! You can tell she truly cares and is incredibly skilled and talented. Also love how she styled my hair and the products she used were high quality and took my hair texture into consideration. Highly recommend ^_^


Nov 06, 2024

Angelo has been making my hair beautiful for a year now and I always walk out feeling amazing! He is so knowledgeable about the chemistry behind the products and how to keep my hair healthy, he travels all over the world to teach other hair stylists


Nov 06, 2024

Angelo is PHENOMENAL! Master chemist with dye, fantastic barber, and makes me feel at ease every time!! 10/10 would recommend if you’re looking for hair coloring and a cut in Seattle!


Nov 06, 2024

Angelo is a master chemist who has the hard-earned skills to achieve a great look without compromising the integrity of your hair. He is very personable and made me feel comfortable immediately. He's honest and transparent about everything from pricing to hair care and management. I'm excited to be back in his chair soon!


Nov 06, 2024

Angelo was amazing. I've got thin hair which is difficult to work with and get looking just right -- having been to many stylists throughout Seattle and not getting what I need -- he did an amazing job. He was very knowledgeable about what my hair needed and really, it looked perfect. Couldn't be happier.


Oct 06, 2024

Stylists are super friendly, service is fantastic, and atmosphere is welcoming! I highly recommend and will definitely be back!


Jun 06, 2024

Alicia is so talented and skilled and runs a professional salon that is always on trend and also nurtures a safe space for the LGBTQ+ community. I always leave her salon completely glowed up and she makes my hair look 🔥


Apr 06, 2024

Alicia is amazing! Not only great with creating your perfect hair/haircut that you have in mind, but also suggesting at home products/upkeep, and in the best, most comfortable and positive way!! I have referred SO MANY people to her and will continue to do so because I know she will deliver amazing results in a very comfortable space. I have literally come to her a hot mess, only to leave my appointment feeling so much better, and looking cute on top of it.


Apr 06, 2024

Alicia is wonderful! She has a cozy shop and really takes the time to listen to what you want. I also appreciated that she suggested products and ways to style my hair. I will definitely be going back!


Mar 06, 2024

Love my cut!


Feb 06, 2024

Alicia always gives me the cutest medium length bob haircut! Very talented hairdresser!


Feb 06, 2024

Alicia is amazing!! She's the best I've ever found at making my frizzy hair look smooth and healthy. She's been cutting my hair for over 15 years, and I now drive from Tacoma to see her.


Feb 06, 2024

Alicia is so great! I've finally found my regular hairstylist! Get in when you can because her books fill up way in advance!


Feb 06, 2022

Alica does a great job styling m hair in a clean and safe environment. Highly recommended.


Feb 06, 2022

Alicia always does a great job cutting my hair--very precise. She's very professional. I'm also a fan of the studio: it's private and in a very walkable location in Old Ballard. I've been going to her for over 3 years. Totally recommend.


Feb 06, 2022

Service and conversation were amazing! Thanks for the trim!


Feb 06, 2022

So, I recently learned my go-to guy for consistently great haircuts no longer worked at the barbershop I’d been using for the past several years and I was dreading the laborious process of trying to find a new go-to person. You know the experience I’m talking about, right? The months long saga full of subpar service, disappointing haircuts and lackluster conversations, until eventually you stumble upon someone new that you can trust with your hair. Rock Steady was the first place I tried. Yeah, I did some research, but I never expected I’d be so lucky as to find some like Alicia on my first attempt. I’m widely impressed with the professional service and genuine attention to detail she offered. Moreover, the conversation we shared was truly enlightening. If you are looking for someone new you can trust with your hair and you appreciate making a human connection, Alicia at Rock Steady is the person for you. I can’t recommend her enough. -- Post Note: I learned (through Alicia) that my previous go-to person had opened his own shop just down the street. Now I’m both torn over who to visit next time I need a cut, and excited to have not one but two great options in my area.


Feb 06, 2022

Alicia is the best and I highly recommend her! Great attention to detail. She works hard to make sure her clients are happy with their color and cuts; she will even re-do it if you aren’t. Her salon is in a great location, it’s clean and has wi-fi.
