It can be tough finding a good barber when moving to a new city. I came across Sorek Barbershop and Menswear after meeting Jason, so thought I would try it out. I was highly impressed with the group of guys that work here after my first experience. They have a beautiful shop, that is very clean, professional and welcoming. Jared always greets you with a smile and kindness. He makes you feel welcome and ensures youre comfortable during your experience.I get my hair done by Dean and he does a fantastic job. His attention to detail is phenomenal and he really cares about styling your hair the way you want. Not only that, Dean is very outgoing and great to talk with.Theres never a dull moment when Im getting my hair done and look forward to my appointment every month.I highly recommend this shop. Truly a great group!
My first great haircut in Austin at Sorek with Dean. The shop has a great vibe and I just enjoy being there and chatting it up with the owners/staff. I opted for The Signature and feel it was a good value for the money. I wasnt rushed and Dean took time to understand my styling needs and make recommendations. He explained his techniques and products, but didnt push any of them on me. I look and feel great after my first, but not last, Sorek experience.
Sorek is the place to go if you need to get a fresh haircut. Jason killed it with the haircut and the fade was on point. Everything about this place is high quality from the haircuts down to the clothes sold. Will be coming back to get trimmed up whenever I need another haircut, 5 stars all the way.
Sorek Barbershop is the home my hair needed. The perfect choice of music, retro-modern atmosphere, insanely talented stylists and first class service make this place the absolute vibe.A little story on what this barbershop means to me: I came in for the first time 2 months ago on a cloudy morning, expecting an average haircut done in a nice barbershop. I was WRONG. From the moment I walked into Sorek, I was greeted with smiles and the head barber even dapped me up. I sat down in a brand new barber chair and was given the best haircut Ive ever had in my life. Following the haircut, I received a Wake Up Call, which is a service offered that gives your face the same feeling your mouth gets when you use Listerine. I felt FRESH, and looked the best Ive ever looked. When I walked outside, I could have sworn the sun was shining. Unfortunately, I left Austin for 2 months to travel for work after this. Though I needed a haircut 2.5 weeks ago, I decided to wait until I was back in town to get the much needed haircut. And in the future, I dont see myself going anywhere else to cut my hair.
Finally decided to check out Sorek and had a superb experience with Jason & Jared. From the moment that I walked in, I was greeted and seated by a friendly gentleman (Jason).Thus began the discussion of what style of haircut I should receive and why (which I never really have when it comes to my hair). After a meticulous session of snip snip snip and buzz buzz buzz, I must say I look more dapper than Ive ever seen myself.Scheduled a follow up barbershop session immediately after the experience and cant wait to go back and continue getting services from Sorek.Check it out and you wont be disappointed! I still need to see what kinds of menswear they have there too :D
From the moment I walked in the store I could tell it was going to be a nice sartorial experience and that the store was the exact kind of menswear lifestyle brand I had been looking for. Was able to pick up two of their Oliver camp collar shirts which are great quality/weight and at a good price point. Also got to meet the owners, Jared and Jason, and they were really cool guys. Always happy to spend money at a local brand if the product and owners are great. 10/10 would and will recommend Sorek to friends
Love Sorek Barbershop. Dean has given me some fantastic mens cuts and has been incredibly attentive to my style goals. He and the team also think about how my hair will grow out ensuring that the cut looks perfect from day one until the next appointment. Its also worth mentioning that the team and location provide a super personable and upscale atmosphere and I always look forward to visiting. Definitely worth a look!
Before moving to a new city, you have to make a list of things you need to get. One of the last things I realized was after 10 years, I need to find a new barber! My last barbershop was a place of comfort, class and style; somewhere you can go to relax, recharge, and get back to feeling like the best version of yourself.I looked up nearby barbershops and walked over to a couple but nothing stood out to me. Then I walked by Sorek and decided to check it out. Immediately felt like I was at the right place, with the right people. From fashion, to the music playing, to the friendly staff, it all culminated into an awesome welcoming atmosphere.Booking a haircut was extremely easy, as everything is accessible online. All their services are explained in detail, and I was shocked to see so many different options! Definitely worth checking out the website, there’s something for everyone,The staff are all very knowledgeable, helpful and professional. I was lucky to have Dean as my barber that day. He was inquisitive, asking me how I liked to style my hair and what products I would use. He was very respectful and walked me through everything he was doing to cut and fade my hair, and gave suggestions along the way. Overall the experience was exhilarating while also being very relaxing and comfortable. I definitely can’t wait to go back and check out some of their other services, as well as the clothing and products they have off hand.TLDR; book a cut with Dean and go from “Excuse me can I perhaps get your number?” to a confident “Wanna get outta here?”
An awesome experience all around. This was only my second time going and I already know I’ve found my permanent barber in Austin. GREAT haircut, GREAT service, and a great relationship established with everyone there. Couldn’t ask for a better place to go (check out the clothes too!).
Went to Sorek for the first time today and will definitely come back! I came in looking rough and Dean made sure I walked out looking like a brand new man. I didn’t really know what I wanted so asked him to do what he thought would look best and I am very happy with the results! Give them a shot, they’re really good!
Dean did a great job. Had some good laughs and learned about some new spots to visit in Austin. I usually go to this chain barbershop but they were full and these guys were able to get me in. All around superb experience. The whiskey was good as was the haircut. I recommend this to anyone.
Def recommend. Got a cut a few weeks back by Dean and I’ll definitely be going back. they know what they’re doing here
If you’re looking for the best haircut you can get, in an environment that’s welcoming, and upscale, Sorek is the only option. Not only does Jason do an amazing job cutting hair, he makes the whole experience something I look forward to every couple of weeks. In addition to the amazing haircut, they have many options for some amazing clothes. There’s never pressure to buy any clothes, but having the option for such upscale and quality clothes is great. You will not be upset with a trip to Sorek.
For context this is the first review Ive ever written. Ive never felt so passionately about a service Ive received to ever write a review. Until now. As I walked in, I immediately felt a heartfelt welcome, and immediately at home with everyone in the shop. I had the pleasure of receiving a haircut from Jason (who happens to run Sorek), and I have never had such a perfectionist take scissors to my delicate hair. He took every effort to give me the absolute best haircut possible, as well as, work with the natural contours of my hair to make it work to its fullest potential. I left beaming from the shop for hours, not onlyg because of my hair, but also because of the friendship I made there with all the people who happened to be getting their haircut.Thank you, Jason. I really appreciated the care & love you gave towards my haircut.
Let me start by saying these guys are ridiculously good at their jobs. I got my haircut with Dean after a couple of months of quarantine, I was a bit nervous since I wasn’t from Austin, and was only visiting, but Dean did an excellent job. It was the best haircut experience I’ve ever had and these guys didn’t miss a beat. Dean gave me some excellent tips and even made me change my daily routine. 5/5 stars would recommend to anyone that wants a satisfying haircut experience.
I recently moved to East Austin and needed a professional cut before starting a new job. I luckily ran into Dean who provided a professional, clean, and excellent cut. I have never been one to schedule a follow up immediately after but jumped at the chance to get my next appointment locked in. The results and experience Dean and Sorek provided are a steal at their current prices. I highly suggest everyone to give them a chance and I know you won’t be disappointed.
I’ve been to just about every barbershop on the east side and Sorek is far and away the best.I used to make last minute appointments whenever I thought I’d need a cut. Now I make that next reservation after the cut every time.Dean does a great job listening to what you’re looking for and making it a reality. Jason and Jared and also both great guys.Good vibes once you walk in the door and always a good time had sitting in the chair.Highly recommended.And don’t forget about the clothes.If you haven’t checked this place out yet. Don’t wait any longer. Swing by today.
Had my hair cut several times with Dean. This guy will have you looking fresh. Dont know what you want? Dean is very thoughtful and will consult with you to help you find a cut that makes look like a million bucks!!! Great service!!!
Great group of guys. Friendly and professional atmosphere. One of the best haircuts Ive received in the last few years. Highly recommended.
Awesome barbers and owners! Loved every cut I received from them and they were very educational on styles. Nothing but positive things to say about Sorek. Highly recommend!
Jared and Jason are amazing!!! Just moved from Houston and was really worried about finding the right person to cut my hair. (Same person has cut mine for 8 year). The hair cut turned out better than any of the ones I’ve had in the last 8 years. I loved it. I didn’t know what I was missing and this will for sure be my spot from now on! Their apparel selection is also extremely 🔥🔥 and unique. I would 1000% recommend you go check them out!
I still can’t believe they only charge $40 for a haircut... I’ve paid double that for a whack job. These guys have earned my biz for as long as they are around; I hope to see Sorek expand across Austin and into other markets. Also, this is a dope boutique experience, so if you’re into menswear and taking care of yourself, they’ve got fantastic skincare products (by Anthony).
Jered, Jason & team are creating and executing a very unique experience and vision for their customers.Their threads look tight but, for me it’s about the excellent barber experience.Jason has a great eye and attention to detail, completely listens to you and makes pro suggestions so you leave with a great salad.I understand they’re hiring too, a great opportunity to get in on the bottom floor!
Drove from Houston to visit a friend, and finally decided to get a haircut. I have been growing out my hair due to the pandemic, and felt anxious to have my hair cut outside my hometown. However, they had hand sanitizers at the entry, and it was just me and the barber the entire time! The seats were plush, and the design of the space was excellent!Lastly, compliments on the playlist Jason ; )
Ive been to Sorek there separate times now! The haircut I get is always on point. Shout out to my man Dean, he always puts in the extra effort to make my hair look good! This is for sure my main barbershop now. Dont sleep on it people!
Sorek is amazing and unique. As a young professional, I care about my style and how I look. Its a one stop store where I can get a good quality professional hair cut and shop for custom suits and mens ware. I wish I had found them earlier.Gentlemen, if you want to look and feel good, this place is it.Ask for Jason when getting a haircut, he is a true professional and everything he touches, he makes it look good. I am highly impressed.If you want a custom suit, ask for Jared, he is young and super skilled. He knows what will look good on you so you can truly dress to impress. Overall, the Suits feel super nice to wear and I am constantly being asked Where did you get your suit from? by friends and family.Sorek wont break your wallet.
The staff is friendly and the place is very clean! Dale does great work! I would recommend getting your haircut here.
Dean and Jarrod were really cool guys. Got an amazing haircut to top it all off. Such a great experience.
If you’re looking for your new barber you can trust and go to for the next several years or the rest of you life you have found it! I simply did a Google search trying to find a good barber for my hair and my beard and decided to give Sorek a chance. I can’t tell you how happy I am I made that decision. Jason took his time finding out what I wanted to accomplish and what I’ve done with my hair and beard before and then he went to work completing exactly what I was hoping for. During the hour or so I spent there we had an amazing conversation about a wide variety of topics. Jason truly gets customer service, creating life long customers and friends and is amazing at his craft. Make an appointment now. You won’t regret it.
Dean is the man! Ive been going to him for over a year and wouldnt go anywhere else. They shop is great very cool vibe and some great clothes and products also. Highly recommend booking an appointment with Dean!
This place was amazing, they really hooked me up and I had a great experience! My boy Dean really knows his stuff!
So glad I found this place! Jason at Sorek is the real deal. Hands down the best mens fade and beard trim/straight razor shave in Austin. And I know because I tried several others before finding Sorek. On top of the haircut and shave, the shop has a great vibe and the people there are super nice. Just go here - you wont regret it.
Best haircut I have ever received. Well made menswear too.
Love love love Sorek! Even though they only do men’s haircuts, I come along with my boyfriend sometimes because I love everyone that works there. Jason gives absolutely killer haircuts and I wanna jump my boyfriends bones every time he comes home from there 😛 Such a cool shop and I also get all of my Aveda hair product from them.
Best haircut and beard trim in Austin. I cant recommend this place enough - Dean absolutely killed it.
Jason & Jarod are incredibly professional & knowledgeable. They specialize in a tailored customer experience in their barber services & custom clothing line. I have recommended them to all of my friends as they always take care of me with a wonderful attitude & smile! Please go see them... you will be impressed!!
All I can say is that you feel like a million bucks when you leave this place. Whether you are in Sorek for a fresh cut or new suit Jared and Jason take amazing care of you. it is one of the few places I continually recommend to new people I meet.
Great shop, awesome service. Highly recommend stopping by and checking Sorek out!
Was looking for a new barber so decided to give this place a try. Very nice place, friendly folks and great service. Walked out feeling good and very happy with the cut and style I got. Can be a little on the pricier side but I think you get what you pay for.
Asian gents and boys, listen up! This barbershop is serious business - I just had my best haircut in the last decade. Its hard to find a barber or stylist to work with Asian hair AND the flat back. Sorek won me over with my first cut.1. Professionals2. Super Friendly3. Offers amazing services4. Classic but on trend with the modern gentleman and lifestyle.
If you’re searching through reviews looking for a barber, trust me, this is the place!Dean did a phenomenal job with my fade. There were a few things that needed fixing from the last barber I went to and Dean took the time to explain how he was going to approach my haircut to get what I wanted. Will definitely be coming back here.
After being a budget guy in both appearance and lifestyle, I decided to up my game. Sorek is the perfect blend of custom wear and mens grooming. I just got a haircut today and it is the best haircut Ive ever had and will definitely be back for both the cuts and the wear. The hair cut was great because its not copy/paste like larger salons and they took the time to walk me through style options, and find the look I had envisioned on the first shot. Ill only get my hair cut here, and grab a couple threads besides. Great work, definitely check this place out if you want a real men-focused grooming experience.
1st time to Sorek last week and it was amazing! Jason and Jared are awesome. I got probably the best haircut of my life from Jason as well as some great hair and face products after the cut. Jared set me up with a nice new outfit and even custom ordered a new button down for my sizing. Highly recommend! I’ll be back for future hair cuts, outfits, and suits.
Jason at Sorek became my barber after on try! This barbershop for sure elevates mens grooming game in Austin. Its a great location, the shop feels comfortable and detail-oriented. Ive looked for a barber that does good work and is inviting in Austin for a while and finally found it. 1000% Recommend!
Locally owned and run by two brothers who will rock your socks off
My new favorite barber shop AND clothing store in Austin all in one! The tag team brothers that run the shop are top notch guys. Finally I can get a haircut in this city by someone who doesnt just do the same thing to every hipster that walks in the front door. Great products, great clothing, great haircuts... what more do you need? 5/5 on all fronts. DO NOT MISS THIS PLACE.
I’ve been living downtown for a couple of years and haven’t been able to find a solid barber/barbershop until I went to Sorek and found Dean. He’s a down to earth dude who can hold a diverse conversation but also can chill and be quiet depending on your vibe that dah. Great haircut from Dean always and the rest of staff is nothing but nice and accommodating — even letting me have my choice of music too. Also, loved how they were taking the right precautionary measures when it comes to COVID
Its rare that you find a Barbershop that puts so much effort into mens self care; from the haircut to beard trim to tailoring. Jason and Jared are on a path to add confidence to every man that steps through their doors. East Downtown Austin, TX is better off now with a small business like this one. This is not your Granddads Barbershop this is a new era of mens fashion and Hair styling. Get ready to see a new man in the mirror when Jason Gourd cuts your hair!
I went in long overdue for a haircut and Jason cleaned me up. He did such a good job that I left looking good and feeling confident. Jared and Jason are doing a great thing for the guys of Austin by providing great hair service and top notch clothing. Jason has found himself a recurring customer and cannot wait for Jared to help me with a suit!
Jason cut my husband’s hair and it looks fantastic. Jared assisted my son in buying some great quality clothes. They are both such wonderful people and are very good at what they do. We will definitely be going again!
Sorek is definitely the coolest new spot in Austin, and Jason who owns the shop is an incredible barber! Not only does he know hair, but he also introduced me to a range of excellent skincare treatments for men. After my first cut at Sorek, I’ve already setup a recurring appointment.But it doesn’t end with hair and skincare. While there be sure to meet Jared and to check out their beautiful lineup of menswear. They do custom and off-the-rack, and their style is the perfect Austin blend of upscale and casual.
First straight razor shave in a while and was amazing. Brother duo running the shop and they’re super friendly. I usually just want to zone out and relax and they balanced that very well. Definitely coming back.
Seriously one of the best haircuts I’ve ever had! As someone that takes my hair perhaps too seriously, I didn’t even think twice about getting a cut here after reading reviews. Incredible job with friendly guys that clearly know what they are doing running the shop. The clothes look amazing also and can’t wait to try a custom shirt.
Excellent cut. Awesome store. Happy to have found my new barbershop. Thanks Jason.
Phenomenal service, Jason is a true professional. One of the best haircuts I have ever had. And the wake up call facial literally puts Sorek above the competition. Will absolutely come back soon.
I had let my hair grow out during COVID and in looking in the mirror, it was time to go back. I had walked by Sorek a lot since I lived in the area and it always seemed like a cool place. I made an appointment after reading other reviews that said it was a perfect spot for a COVID cut. I made an appointment with Jason and it was great. Really friendly, spent time asking what I was looking for, and end result looked great! Jason was also really knowledgeable about products that would work well for my hair. I’d definitely recommend this spot.
Sorek is a true East Austin gem. It’s a ‘modern timeless classic’ spot where you can get that fresh cut and blade work before an important meeting and/or hitting a night on the town. Also, always keep your attire on point with the aesthetics of their custom tailored fits...
If you’re looking for a local men’s barbershop this is the place to get a cut! Getting my hair cut and beard trimmed here with Jason has been key to getting through this stressful year. Looking good on the outside is one of the best ways to make sure you’re feeling good on the inside.I can’t recommend this place highly enough!
This place is top notch. From aesthetics of interior design, clothing shop entry to the barber shop, quality products, and good people, this place could be in GQ. It fits in nicely with East Side vibes. Jason understands what you want and did a fantastic job. I found my go to shop in Austin for cuts, and now tempted me to shop for some new fits.
My last barbershop closed during COVID which was very sad but had the chance to meet Jason through a friend. I am so impressed with the way he shaped my hair to my head as I have been doing it wrong for so long. This is not just a barbershop but an experience. Everything from facial treatment, custom mens clothes, and great conversation. Thanks again and will be back soon.
Came in for a skin fade from Jason and he was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in creating a style that fits my head shape nicely. Would definitely come back again A++ service. Thank you!
Great experience here! I finally learned the proper way to care for and maintain my beard. Guys here had everything I needed product wise plus they let me bringing my a margarita from Leftys next door while I was getting attended to. Ive never really had a taylor before but I will certainly be back to get fitted plus get one of those dope south American hats. Keep it up Jason and Jeremy.
Great barbershop & great service from Dean! I recommend the Wake Up Call!
Got a great cut by Jason, and really enjoyed our conversation. Very nice looking space, I enjoyed the experience.
I was in town for a couple days and need of a solid haircut and beard trim and Dean did not disappoint. Will be back next time Im in Austin.
Great, welcoming shop with lots of talent. Wouldn’t go anywhere else to get my hair cut.
Best cut I’ve got s/o to Jason and Jared for creating such a sick spot and cool environment ‼️
10/10 would recommend. They’re nice, professional, and are super dope. If you don’t like them you’re tripping.
Nice cut and really nice clothing selection
As someone who has typically sought out similarly bespoke salons, i can honestly say that I have never felt quite so at home in my own skin as I did after my recent haircut at SOREK. I cannot provide a higher recommendation.
Absolutely amazing service!You must check out their custom clothing!Great job y’all!
Great hair cut performed with great care and attention. Will definitely go back.
$100 haircut for $40. Dean killed it
First class cut and experience. I look forward to my haircuts now.
Amazing haircut and lovely guys - highly recommend!
