Veronica Torrez is the best at what she does. There is no question about that. I have been seeing her for the last couple years and have never had a bad haircut from her. She is very detail oriented, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. Veronica will work with you and if you have any questions she will gladly answer and be thorough. If I could grow a decent beard Id go to her too! Shes very talented in that department as well!! High praises for Veronica!!

Stylists are experienced and make sure to know how you want your hair cut and then make that happen. This was my first time in and I was very impressed with the friendliness of everyone, efficiency of getting the cut done without feeling rushed at all, and the upscale vibe. The stylists enjoy working here and as a client I can tell that they are happy with the owner/management team. I’ve been looking for a place that has more experienced stylists and trying to get away from the chains that just aren’t focused on a quality visit from start to finish. This place fits all of those requirements and more. Definitely my new favorite place

I surprised my boyfriend with the 1835. Courtney was his stylist. He hasnt gotten a haircut in years and never liked getting it cut, fearing it would look bad. He came back so happy and relaxed. A definite returning customer.

Fine hair cut by a real Barber. My original review was 3 stars for a few reason, but I have changed it to 5 stars after receiving a phone call from the owner to discuss my visit. She went over my concerns and outlined how she is going to make her business better. This is the first time a business owner has reached out to me personally about addressing my concerns. Her actions proved to me that she cares about the customer. Please give them a try to see for yourself.

Such a great place to get spoiled for a bit. The hair experts here will make you look good and feel good about yourself at the same time. The prices reflect the quality of work they do and trust me, its worth it. I wont let anyone but Veronica touch my hair from now on, shes a hair genius and I genuinely enjoy getting my hair cut by her. Take care of yourself, and go get your maintenance done here. Also, try the facials, youll feel like a new man.

I went in this morning to see Veronica as always she does the best beard trim and hair cut I ever had. I will not let anyone else touch my hair. I travel from San Antonio just for her professionalism and her abilities. Her scalp massages are amazing! Best barber I have ever had!

Such a great experience. Veronica was very nice and did an amazing job. It took me a while to find a great place that I can depend on, but this is it. Dont let the price scare you away. Its worth every penny.

I came in and was taken care of by Veronica today. I normally see Deidre or Vicki, but they needed models for a new hire and I happily volunteered. Veronica was AMAZING! She did a great job with the haircut and the straight razor but when it got to the scalp massage and shampoo-those hands are magic!! She was very sweet, very professional, and very talented. Veronica is OFFICIALLY added to the roster of stylists I trust with my hair.

Courtney was pleasant, easy on the eyes and more importantly, gave me an excellent cut and shave. The atmosphere is relaxing and has a rustic, industrial vibe. The complimentary beverage was a nice touch.Keep up the great work! Ill be back.

Im pretty meticulous about my hair and have had it styled and cut the exact same way (by the same person) for nearly 20 years! Vicki knew exactly how to replicate it and provided a great experience in the process. Looking forward to my next appointment in my new hometown.

The stylist at the refinery are very professional and very attentive to detail. The atmosphere is very relaxing and they do not rush you. Offer a beer or bourbon when you arrive is a great way to start. Personally, its the only place in New Braunfels I would go. Keep up the great work!

Review №19

Honestly, I cannot stress this enough: once you go to The Refinery, there’s no going back to other places. I was a pretty loyal SportClips guy for a long time, and then I met the friendly and professional staff at The Refinery.Everybody is so polite and welcoming, with a clean and welcoming facility that feels both natural and relaxing to hang out in. The haircuts are phenomenal, and my stylist Darby always gives me a clean, nice-looking fade, and seems to know EXACTLY the best product for my hair. I mean it, she’s incredible. Always so witty, fun to talk to while I’m getting my hair cut, and incredible at her job. She’s a natural.I have referred all my friends to The Refinery, letting them know that it’s worth the drive up from San Marcos to New Braunfels to get a quality haircut. I leave The Refinery feeling confident, sharp, and refreshed, ready to take on anything that comes my way.Seriously, most of the selfies I put on apps like Tinder or whatever usually come AFTER a fresh haircut at The Refinery, ‘cause it’s usually right after a sleek fade and before my hair grows back when I look my best. The Refinery is a game changer.Don’t take my word for it, go in and check the place out for yourself. Heck, you can buy a Truly’s and sip it while you’re there, haircut and a drink. That’s AWESOME.They have my business for life, as far as I’m concerned. Legendary.

It was my first time there, great service, friendly staff. My wedding is this weekend and I wanted a great quality haircut, I was not disappointed. Paid more than my usual barber shop, but it was totally worth it. Great job all around.

Review №21

Superb haircut. Have gone to three different barbers here in town designed for client experience - The Refinery is a cut above (pun intended!).Peyton was ready for me on arrival - offered a drink. Checked to make sure I had ordered the service I requested before starting and ensured I knew what to expect. She listened closely, made sure to check as the cut went on and followed up at the end to ensure my satisfaction. I appreciated her taking the time with me.Additionally, they have a nice selection of whiskey. Don’t be afraid to ask for one (if you’re legal and responsible!).Enjoyed the whole experience and will be back!

Always a pleaure pampering myself at The Refinery. Had the River Recharge... I was looking for something different and Vicky was great at listening to me then giving me some advice to acheive the look I was after. All that plus a neck massage and a facial that was perfect to relieve the stress of this hectic world we find ourselves in....Gentlemen - your deserve to spend some time and take care of yourself at The Refinery Mens Grooming Lounge.

This is the place to go for an amazing haircut! The salon is a relaxing, clean and organized environment. The staff is professional, friendly and highly trained. They offer drinks and a comfortable waiting area. They gave my son a top notch haircut even though he can be quite wiggly! I highly recommend The Refinery Salon and we will be making it our go to salon!

Since Ive moved to SA, Vicki has been entrusted to cut my hair for over a year now. Vicki is a true professional and is very good at what she does. Highly attentive to detail and a great communicator, she has yet to make any mistakes. I have always left completely satisfied with her services. Vicki is also with great company as everyone that works there is of high tier in barber skills and customer service. Overall, The Refinery is a great place for men (and boys) to get their haircuts. The lounge is always clean and presentable.Edit1: Vicki is still amazing and has been cutting my hair since 2019. I recently had an appointment with Payton and she is just as incredible.

The best haircut I’ve ever had. Very clean and professional stylists. Darby took her time and gave me the perfect haircut. She didn’t try to hurry and shove me out the door like all the other hair places around do. I’ll definitely be back soon.

I cant say enough good things about The Refinery Mens Grooming Lounge! I absolutely love Payton! She has been cutting my hair for quite some time now, and I will follow her wherever she goes, because thats how good of a job she does cutting my hair! She has such a wonderful spirit, personality, and is a joy to talk to. You have a real asset on your hands with Payton!! A real treasure! ;)

Review №38

Ask any Texan about a refinery and inevitably they will quip something about oil... they aren’t wrong. Be that as it may, this refinery is the type of place that takes a raw and crude man and creates a stylish, fashionable, and dapper gentleman.Some folks will tell you that one salon is as good as another. Bless their hearts and pay them no mind. One trip to the Refinery will prove that not all salons are created equal.It’s the type of place where you can enjoy libations, atmosphere, and most importantly quality services.Don’t wast another cent anywhere else, book your appointment and get the refinement you were meant to have.

I went there for the first time yesterday. I was welcomed by Carly who had a big smile and offered me a free beverage (I got a beer). Carly listened carefully on how I wanted my haircut and did a great job cutting my hair. All the staff was very nice. The place was very clean. Definitely this is my new favorite Barbershop. Also they dont charge you and arm and a leg just because they give you a free beverage.

This is the only place I will get my haircut. I have been getting my haircut by Vicki for years and I am so happy for her and Deidre. They have opened their own shop and it is amazing. Just to tell you how good they are, I live in San Antonio and make the drive because when I want a great haircut, a clean beard and friendly professional service this is the only place that exceeds all standards. Also it is great to be able to support a local business run by two badass women. I guarantee you’ll get the best cut you’ve ever had from Vicki or Deidre.

Great atmosphere, very New Braunfels chic. Great job nailing the look and and feel! very easy to book online, had to wait a week, but due to covid 19, completely understandable. I was offered a variety of beverages upon entry and leaving and felt very welcomed! My hairdresser was very polite and easy to talk to and did a damn good job! Diesel will no longer be getting my business after my first of what I assume will be many future trips to the refinery!

What a great experience. This is nothing like a salon, it’s a guy-focused pampering retreat. Yes, I got a great haircut and beard trim, but that was just the beginning. My appointment lasted 75 minutes and I could have stayed in that chair all day. I’ll be going to this place for years to come.

Went today for the first time and got the NBTX. My stylist was Vicki. She was kind and attentive. Her personality is disarming and made me comfortable. The salon was clean. I saw all the stylists using sanitizer and wearing masks. I felt very comfortable being there. Vicki also did a good job listening to what I wanted and giving suggestions when I wasnt sure about exactly what I wanted. I will be back.

The Refinery is a TOTAL HIT.. I’ve never had better service and pampering at any country club.. Diedra was wonderful and everyone literally goes above and beyond to make it a pleasant experience. I look foreword to returning, and I’m sure it will be busier because the WORD is getting out, and they’re going to be swamped with new clients..Its nice to see a business that takes PRIDE in servicing the whole community..I wish you all the success, but you don’t need it.. The Refinery was designed for SUCCESS.😎
