What a nice establishment. Very clean, nice ac and the guys cutting hair are super friendly. It’s very affordable for the treatment and service. I’ve had two great haircuts here, but also one of the worst haircuts of my career. Was wearing a hat for the three weeks following. I plan on going back because the first two were so good

I made a mistake when scheduling my appointment. When I walked in a Barber asked me who I was scheduled with. We discovered I never confirmed the appointment. Rob sat in the back, his 2:30 was late, for 30 minutes and said nothing. I wish I would have been told they couldnt fit me in right away. I instead sat for an hour after being called a walk in. I only wanted a beard trim, these employees need to learn how to communicate. 0 stars if I could.

I have been getting haircuts here for almost two years now. The place has a welcoming friendly atmosphere. Robert D has been doing an excellent job of cutting my hair the way I want. Setting up appointments on the web is well organized and easy to use. Reminder emails and texts are very helpful. Would highly recommend this place.

Easy appointment setting online, the chair was open when I arrived 5 minutes early and Robert L was very attentive. His fade from a half to a 2 was solid and he cleaned up the top without removing too much length. Atmosphere was great, cut was on point and I will be coming back for sure!Happy to have found my go-to barber after moving to Austin a month ago.

If you are looking for a fade, its undoubtedly the place to be. other than that I will go somewhere else. Customer service could be improved, Im not from the area, first time there and I barely got a greeting. I Got a full haircut and I actually had to finish it at home by myself. like I said what they do best is fades, I have been to better places.

This place is legit. Sharp hair cuts for men and a bit of the old timey barbershop feel. Every barber is friendly and vibe is good. Kiko Tavares is the man and the only barber I have used over the past year, but everyones good. Go for the beard trim add on if you rock facial hair.

Not professional. Disrespectful in not being able to see a 93 year old who really needed his hair cut. Could have been more respectful and professional about it. I will never use use this place or recommend the barber shop.

Alex and Don took their time to give my son and myself excellent haircuts. I walked in, asking for an Afro haircut and Don still pulled it off; despite the fact that he doesnt handle my hair type often. Im highly impressed!

I booked an appointment with Dom. I arrived early, and Dom showed up late with a Starbucks. I presented pictures of the style of cut I was going for, which would require taking 2.5” off the top. Unfortunately, I had to explain to Dom 4 times that I would like my haircut shorter, and his response was a deep breath of frustration. At this point he no longer cared about what I the customer wanted, he took off my chair cloth and asked for payment. Dom clearly does not need this job. Do yourself a favor and book an appointment with Steve, Robert, or Mason. At least they are reliable and show up to work on time.

I walked in at 9am and the atmosphere was very welcoming.Felix known as “Domi” cut my hair and was awesome. I would definitely recommend him and he took his time and cut my hair to perfection. Which was a double 0 medium skin fade with finger length on top.The A/C was out but we joked about it and moved on. All the barbers in the shop were very nice and we had a group discussion going on.Much different experience than with Jaylen Brooks at the Stassney shop. Not saying don’t go there, just don’t use Jaylen if you want good service.

I walked in to get a hair cut and saw one other person getting a cut and two barbers sitting in their chairs playing on their phones. They asked if I had an appointment and I said that no, I didnt know I needed one, that it wasnt listed on their website. They then told me, while still playing on their phones, gnat no one had time for me.

Great, fun barber shop. Has that classic barber shop layout but is modernized. Booked my first appointment a few weeks ago online which was quick and easy, and I chose to assign me to a barber the first time as I didnt have a preference yet. They assigned me Joel M, and he did a fantastic job shaping my beard. I highly recommend him and this spot. What you get for the price is excellent.

Barbers are all skilled professionals, not to mention very friendly and courteous. Kiko manages to give me a high quality, consistent fade every time I visit. If you can describe the cut you want or show him an example, hell deliver. Im satisfied with the service provided, and Im certain you will as well if you decide to stop by the shop.

Made same day appointment, but in my error I selected the next day. Showed up thinking I had appointment. Realizing what happened, I was still able to be seen by Jay G as a walk in. Showed him picture of style my 8 year old son wanted and he was very excited when he saw how it came out! First time coming to this place. Previous barber had difficulties keeping appointments and this was a great location for us. Grateful Jay accommodated us even though I messed up on date. He also made sure I cancelled my incorrect appointment so the original barber I picked would show available. Clean place! Welcoming and felt comfortable considering the issues going on now. Jay is my son’s go to now for cuts! My son has curly hair, and the cut he did along with edge up, and how he styled it was exactly what my son has been wanting!

Review №33

Out of all the places Ive taken my son to get a haircut this has been the best in a long time. Excellent and friendly service. I made an appointment with Moses after seeing the great job he did with my husbands hair. He did not disappoint. Sitting there I observed other barbers in action and they all were professional and attentive to their clients needs. I will definitely recommend this place but with an appointment. Theyre busy and for a good reason.

Review №34

Dru delivered great service with a much needed cut and beard trim.I booked here after moving south and was far enough away from my usual place that it didnt warrant the drive. I wanted to start with just a trim to clean up after not having a cut for more than a month. I arrived a bit early, but was greeted promptly and my appointment started on time.Dru was very good about checking for preferences and I was very impressed with his attention to detail. My old spot didnt spend half as much time trimming my beard and areas around my lip and nose.I also am giving his products a try since I like the idea of using more natural ingredients. I highly recommend this spot if youre looking for something far better than a $15 cut at a national chain. Prices are very reasonable for the level of service you receive.

Review №35

I came here expecting a safe environment that properly respected the ongoing public health issues. When I arrived chairs were in use directly next to each other instead of being spaced apart a safe distance. Only employees actively working on a client were wearing masks, and all others walked around the area without. As soon as I sat down I was told conspiracy theories about the virus that clearly showed the employees are not properly informed about the reality of the situation. This business needs to train employees and enforce guidelines from the government to avoid actively contributing to the problem.

We started taking our boys here when another local barber shop screwed up my sons hair. We were so pleased with the way our sons were treated and how their cuts came out. Never going anywhere else. If your googling a barber to go to you found the spot. Boom your appointment now!

Maybe it was just bad luck but my barber totally messed up my haircut. Luckily, it was salvageable and I made my way to Finleys off of S. Lamar and they took care of me.Im bummed because this was close to me but looks like Ill be making the drive to Finleys from now on.

Great shop offering great cuts! I’ve been coming here for the past couple of years and service is always a delightful experience. They are quick, friendly, and easy to work with! Even when I don’t get exactly what I wanted, the barbers are usually great about making the adjustments needed on the spot to make sure I walk out feeling confident. I’d highly recommend them!

Review №46

Because they advertise themselves as a mans barbershop, I was skeptical about going into the shop. My daughter did the research, and convinced me to give them a try. She made an appointment for me, but I was still skeptical, so I gave the barber a call . He assured me he could cut my hair. I was not disappointed. Kiko did a great job! He doesn’t only cut men’s hair, he does short cuts for women!

Ive been going to the South Austin Barber Shop since it opened and in that time Ive always had great haircuts. The online appointment system is easy to use and Ive never had to wait for my barber - once I walk through the door we get started. Ive had about half of the barbers cut my hair and they all do an excellent job.

Awesome barbershop. This place is the closest Ive found to a true old school barbershop in Austin. Robert knows his craft very well and has a client in me for as long as Im here.The shop is always clean, considering hair clippings are flying all day. All of the barbers are friendly and approachable and look sharp. The bowties are a nice touch and lend to the old school barber vibe.

Review №55

So, my wife scheduled a haircut appointment at a different place that I went to and got my haircut. Long story short, I walked out having paid for a haircut that was terrible. I immediately called a friend and he told me to call South Austin Barber Shop, so I did. Dru (one of the workers) picked up and told me to come now. I went and this dude hooked me up. I sat down immediately. He gave me options with what I could do based on the damage the other place had already done and he went to work. Within the first 10 seconds of him cutting my hair I knew I was going to be taken care of. 30 min later I was out and happy with my hair. I will not go anywhere else. The place was full with customers and barbers. Having a good time and getting a great hair cut. Price was reasonable. As long as I’m in Austin I’ll be getting my haircut here and recommend anyone that needs a cut to come here.

Dru is a top barber in Austin located at South Austin Barber Shop. I searched for a good barber since moving to Austin 3 years ago from Chicago and it wasn’t until giving South Austin Barber Shop and Dru a shot that I knew I found a place I could call my barber shop. Dru is professional, cares for his clients, and always goes above and beyond to deliver an excellent hair cut. All clients walk out of this place happy with an excellent haircut.

Bright, clean and friendly. I received the best cut Ive had in years, maybe decades, I kid you not. The attention to detail is such a welcome change from the phone-it-in world we live in. Just go.

I give 2 thumbs up! Kiko is a great barber. He took his time, gave me a great skin fade, and we had a great conversation. He is also great with kids.

Expect one of the best cuts you will get to have. All the barbers are friendly, down to earth and treat you right. Everyone can perform a super clean fade or any style you’d like.

Been living in the Austin/Buda area for over 18 years and have had problems getting my hair done like I want it. When Ive found someone I like they dont stay in one place long. I heard about the South Austin Barber Shop through some friends and checked it out on the web. I liked what I saw so I made an appointment and had Robert do my hair yesterday. The cut is nothing spectacular but barbers that I used over the years somehow forgot how to balance a simple cut. Long story short...I got a Great cut, Im very satisfied and I Will be going back.

Review №95

“Walk ins welcomed”, or so they say. I walked in and was told I would be the first walk in to be helped. I sat and waited for almost two hours (their AC was broken and it’s a very hot day), before they told me that I was better off leaving because they probably wouldn’t be able to cut my hair. They weren’t apologetic or seemed to be fazed by the fact that I had been there that long. Some of the employees were on their phone sitting and waiting for their next appointment to come in, while I waited. One gentleman that worked there did apologize out in the parking lot as he was leaving because he mentioned he was going out of town and couldn’t help me out. I wish they would have been up front with me when I first walked in. I would have understood and gone somewhere else, which I ended up doing anyway.
