I was visiting Austin and needed a haircut. I was a walk in and I was able to get in right away. The haircut was one of the best haircuts I’ve ever gotten. All the barbers are super nice and friendly and it’s a clean and cool vibe inside! Would 100% recommend and only $27! Great experience! Thanks again!!

Definitely one of the gems in Austin! If you havent been here, you can book an appt or just walk-in. The barbers do men and women styles. Exceptional barbers, cut my hair, shaved me, and brought the look I wanted to life. They have this walk-in barber who is DEFINITELY an extraordinary stylist and cutter. If you ever believed any review, then believe me, the walk-in barber is AMAZING and does great work. Professional, Friendly, EFFECTIVE barbers! Go here!

I’ve been in search of a new place to get a fade/haircut after disappointing experiences at Luis Corner Barbershop and South Austin Barbershop (Stassney). After reading the great DNA reviews, I called to inquire about price ($27) and if an appointment was required. An appointment is not necessary and there was no wait when I arrived. I got Albert who gave me an excellent skin mid fade haircut. He was welcoming, affable, and attentive to details- definitely a well practiced professional. 👌🏽

I have been a regular customer of Austin DNA (David) for 4/5 years now. David (the owner) is the best! A true professional with a great sense of humor. The shop itself is immaculately clean and haircuts have always been on point. Of the few times I felt like switching something up or trying a different style, David has more than risen to to the occasion and hooked it up. I wouldn’t entrust my hair to anyone else!Thank you AUSTIN DNA! 🙏 Keep up the great work!

Austin DNA Barbershop is the best barbershop in Austin. I have been to many of the other big chain barbershops in Austin and I can say with confidence that Austin DNA Barbershop has the best customer service with the most consistent haircuts. The shop is self is very clean with a nice atmosphere, as well as the barbers are professional and use high quality products. I would not go anywhere else!

My son needed a haircut before school starts this week. Not long of a wait for a walk in. He is picky when it comes to his hair. He likes how his hair was done. Will definitely will be going back.

Only came because of good reviews about Dave.I get home and notice the line around the ear has been cut way up almost like a V-shape above my ear and line going down the side is not done properly :(Line at the back is ok. He hurried with this cut. 32 bucks for this with tip.

Great atmosphere. David treated me like an old friend and immediately had ideas on what style I should go for when I asked. He is clearly very passionate about his profession and does a great job, couldn’t ask for more.

Review №17

Friendly and professional, but instead of cleaning up and shaping my beard as I asked, started cutting in higher up to somehow layer it.(?) Added product that looked ok until I washed it out, and found tuffs and divits. I had to clean it up, and now the huge quarantine beard just looks wonky. Ive come to a realization that the best person to trim a big beard is yourself. He was very nice, but nice is beside the point.

My new favorite place for a great trim and maintenance. Dave is a normal guy and easy to talk to. The shop is wide open and he keeps it super clean. During these unprecedented times its very comforting.Pricing is great and the wife has given her overall approval as this being the best haircut/fade yet. For any guy with curly hair or otherwise, looking for a super clean fade, Dave and his team are your guys.

Review №21

Couldn’t possibly be the best rated barbershop in Austin. Basically just an average haircut from a chain barbershop. I was in and out of the chair in 10 min, he didn’t line up the back, took a razor to my beard for 2 sec and faded it terribly and there’s hair all down my neck. Not sure if it’s because I wasn’t local or it was something I said but it just seemed like he didn’t care. Will not be going back, ever...Ambiance was cool and they were accommodating to me as I was a walk-in on a road-trip.

Austin DNA Barbershop is top notch! Mr. David Ray is a professional, kind, down to earth barber who’s passionate about helping people look their best. He’s been my barber for the past 5 years and won ’t be going to anyone else as long as I’m in Austin. Would highly recommend to anyone who’s looking for a professional haircut or beard trim.

Austin DNA Barbershop is a great place to get a cut or beard trim like I got. They accept walk ins and looks nice on the inside of the shop. Abraham took care of me and helped me look fresh with the trim. I’ll be coming back.

David has been my go to guy for years and this new shop of his is amazing.

Nice guys. Good haircut. No mask discipline whatsoever: inside a small room, some folks not even bothering with one and everyone else letting it hang off their face. If your COVID risk tolerance is low, this is not a good space.

Great place for a cut! Ever since moving to Austin earlier this year, Ive been bouncing around barbers around the area but I finally found a barbershop where I feel completely comfortable. The guys here are always friendly, safe during these times, quick, and skilled with their craft. Would definitely recommend!

They did a wonderful job on both of my boys hair. We definitely will be going back to them the next time they need a cut. (My boys are 3yrs & 5yrs old) They made sure my kids were comfortable and felt safe. They also gave them some candy and a toy after they got their cuts. Definitely giving this place a 5/5 star rating!

Austin DNA has been my go-to place for haircut since I moved to Austin. All the barbers and owner are friendly. The place is always clean and has tons of snacks and drinks.The only thing that I didnt like during the pandemic is non-enforcement of masks. I get that its the managements decision, but as a customer can feel much safe if everyone in the store (including customers) wear masks at all times.

Austin DNA is the best barber shop in Austin. I always leave there with an awesome fade. I don’t want to go anywhere else. The barbers there are very talented and personal. They will fix you up and if you are in a hurry let them know and you will get your cut quick and still great. David the owner is super awesome, He will make sure someone takes care of you and quick. Always a better experience with an appointment. Highly recommend you won’t be disappointed.

Austin DNA Barbershop has created an amazingly unique atmosphere and experience for their patrons. Their shop is clean, creative and perfect for both adults and children. With that said, the shop isnt the best part, the talent of the barbers is hands down the best part. If you live in North Austin and are looking for a barber for you and your son, check them out. They are off North Lamar just up from Stiles Switch BBQ.

I just got chopped up by James and was pretty confident the whole time. The environment was nice and relaxing, felt like I could go order a steak at the same time I was getting my hair cut.

AMAZING place. I moved to Austin area a year ago, and I have been trying many barbershops in town, this place is definitely the best. Nice, respectful Staff(barbers and the owner are👍), great atmosphere, great haircuts( they listen and do whatever you ask for), in addition to their beard expertise; one among the best in town.

Review №54

DONT GO HEREI asked for half an inch off the top after not having a haircut for 2 months. The barber was in his own world and decided I was going to look like I joined a military academy. Don’t go here unless that is EXACTLY what you wanted anyway. If I could, I’d give them negative stars. This is the single WORST haircut I’ve ever had

As a resident of Austin for 11 years I am proud to call this place my barbershop of choice. The barbers here are friendly and funny. They are actually engaging in conversation and pay such great attention to detail. Their work quality is insanely good! I cannot say the same for other places in town.I feel so much more confident about the way I look, and my girlfriend loves my haircuts whenever I get them now. People actually ask me, a person with no clue on how to style hair, where I get my hair worked on. This is the hidden gem of Austin barbershops, and I am so glad I can get my haircut here.

Best barbershop in town. Been to all the local spots (Boardroom, Finley’s, Tune up, etc..) and this is hands down the best.

Great location, great service, amazing skill with ethic hair!!My boyfriend was visiting and needed a hair cut before he left. We stopped by to see David at Austin DNA Barbershop on a pure whim. It must have been fate. This place is incredible! Such a cool atmosphere with a kids activity room (how thoughtful!). David is knowledgeable and through and through and has skill for all hair types. My boyfriend is black. He and I were worried we wouldnt find anyone to fit his hair the way he wanted. There was no issue with David. He knew exactly what needed to be done! Highly recommend!!

This place is my favorite barbershop in towns, hands down. David is an incredibly nice guy, and truly loves what he does.Hes squeezed me in on a moments notice for a trim before an interview, gives discounts to military members and first responders, and genuinely has the coolest shop in town.

David is an amazing barber. I like how he takes his time asking exactly what you want and then making it happen. What I like even better is when he advises you against certain things to sort of save you from yourself. He is a consummate professional and a very friendly guy who makes you feel at home and relaxed. So lucky to have him close by and to make me look this good.

Simply the best barbershop haircut, beard trim, and experience I’ve ever had. David truly is an artist and the care and attention he brings to his craft make all the difference. He is invested in your hair and more importantly, he’s invested in you! I leave looking sharp and feeling like a better person every single time.When you arrive, know that there are two business that operate out of the same building. DNA Barbershop is on the left side. I can’t speak to the haircut you can get at the beauty shop next door, but after a few cuts with David, I’m happy to say I’ve found my man!

I am in Austin on a business trip and actually volunteered my head for practice by my nephew back home. Even though he did his best, I needed to get it fixed. There are so many places in Austin that I could have gone, but ended up here and boy was I happy. I just got my cut by Brando - let me tell you, this guy is awesome. Not only did he take care of my messed up cut but he actually took his time and fixed every part of my head. Just so yall know, my hair color is dark and hair is thick and too give a proper fade from ground up is hard.. But he did it with a breeze. Thanks Brandon.. I will be seeing you again when I am back in Austin..

Review №86

I moved to Austin in January 2016. I needed to find a new barber. Someone recommended a barbershop to me so I looked it up. One of the reviews I read said how great David was and specifically mentioned he was great with beards. So I called him up and David has been taking care of me ever since. David is passionate about his craft and is really good at what he does. But the reason I go see David is because hes an incredible human being and I enjoy our visits. When David struck out to open his own shop, I followed. His barber shop is perfect. Clean, comfortable, inviting. Just a really cool vibe. Give David a chance and youll find a barber for life like I did.

Best Barber Ive gone to in years. Anyone who has a hairstyle more complicated than a buzz cut will tell you that getting a good barber can be a challenge - David is a great one.

Best barbershop in town! As an Austin native, Ive gotten my haircut at a lot of different shops over the years but never found one that captured my loyalty. Ive been going to Dave for almost 4 years now and my 2 year old son just got his first cut a few weeks ago. I always get a great cut and occasionally an amazing shave. I dont have a sweet beard (yet) but my friends that do say the beard carving and beard care advice Dave offers is game changing. The new shop is top notch and Daves service is unparalleled. Dave somehow designed the shop in a way that is sophisticated and comfortable for adults but kid friendly at the same time. Check this place out for a great cut, awesome atmosphere and amazing service.

One of the best places to get a hair and beard trim. David knows his profession very well and has superb customer service. Hes been the only person to touch my long beard for the last few years.

I have recently relocated to Austin and my son and I have struck out three times at different barber shops. We just happened to drive by Austin DNA and then received a mailer. Figured it was worth a shot because finding a good barber is hard to do. My son and I have found our new Barber. As David worked on my sons hair I sat read his reviews online and while I am skeptical with reviews in general, I found every review to be 100% accurate and representative of our experience. Excellent customer service and excellent quality in the cut. You can really tell David has passion for his craft. Best haircut we have had bar none. Glad we found Austin DNA and David.

For YEARS I have been looking for a barber who I trust completely. I had almost given up on that search until David came into the picture. His new shop is absolutely amazing. It’s a great environment to go, relax a bit and get your hair cut. The experience itself is great. You feel like you’re being listened to and the attention to every last detail is exactly what I’ve been after all of these years.

Review №100

I saw all the great reviews about Austin DNA Barbershop and decided to give it a try. I was very disappointed with my visit. My haircut was rushed, finished within 15 minutes. Barber had poor scissor handling techniques. Trimmed my top very sloppy and unevenly. Worst part was the haircut was very expensive for the service I received. Wont be coming back.
