I loved the experience here. Everyone was super friendly. They use high quality products and the cut was great.Also, thank you for the military discount. I think I gave it all back in tips - ha! - but I certainly appreciate the support.

This is by far the best haircut and experience I’ve had anywhere. I gladly drive the 45 minutes to have a haircut monthly at The Parlour. Definitely recommend for friendly staff and a quality experience.

Top quality haircut and customer service. I got my first haircut there some years ago and I havent gotten my haircut anywhere else since. Mr Nghia and his wife work hard and make you feel at home, and will remember everything you tell them.While you wait you theyll offer you a beverage, and the haircut you get is top notch. They’ll put a hot towel on your face while washing your hair and so a straight edge shave of your face and neck with hot wax. I’d highly recommend trying them for your next haircut. Keep in mind its appointment only.

I went to the Parlour for every cut I needed whole I was in law school. Nee does a phenomenal job on making you look your best with any style you could ask for. Also genuinely one of the nicest people youll meet, and you cant beat that quality beer to relax with during your cut.

Highly recommend this place to anyone looking to get a high quality haircut/ grooming at an affordable price. I’ve been going to The Parlour for the last 3 years and have never been disappointed. They welcome you with open arms and always offer you a beverage. Make sure to schedule an appointment as they are typically booked most weekdays!

It was a great hair cut and not rushed. Make sure you schedule a appointment because they are always busy.

Followed Nora here from another place. Other place is closer to where I live, but she does a great job. Only once in the past I dont know how many years has someone else cut my hair.I did read the comments about needing an appointment and how some folks are turned off by that. Me, I love it. Make an appointment for a time, show up and most of time, in the chair at your time or shortly thereafter. No more showing up to a packed room with an hour or longer wait.

Excellent service, best cuts in town. Worth a little extra money for a reserved time slot with the best barber in town. Thanks

Excellent, superb, extravagant! Cathy was very nice, held great conversation and listened/asked exactly what I wanted. She then proceeded to turn my monstrosity of hair into something appealing. Thanks Cathy, I will be back to see ya for sure :) Happy Customer!All of the other staff were courteous and the price was not bad at all IMO, I have gotten JUST a haircut done before for the same cost as my haircut and beard at this place.

Apparently the are difficult to get into for a haircut. When I was the waited 20 minutes and watched a guy read a paper while I sat there. Finally got another barber who cut my and she was very good.

Ive been coming here about a year and a half, and boy, Im glad I found this place! If you want a superb haircut and/or a beard trim, this is the place. Every time I go Im amazed at how good my hair looks. The same goes for my beard (which is only a few months old). The attention to detail is incredible. If you decide to go, do call and make appointments as they are generally busy, but Ive never had to wait longer than my appointment time. You wont regret your experience!

This is one of the best barbershops Ive been to in the United States. Husband and wife team are super efficient and talented. They have other barbers working for them that are pretty good too. You owe it to yourself to go here for a fresh cut. Make an appointment - this isnt a walk-in place. They book quickly, because theyre good. You can have a beer there. No negatives. Good cuts.

Excellent experience. While on a business trip in San Antonio, I called at 10am on a Tuesday and was able to get a same-day appointment for 12pm. Nhieu Ho cut my hair exactly as I requested. I was in and out in 30 minutes with a high-quality executive hair cut for $30. I was very satisfied. Regarding previous negative ratings from those who have complained about an appointments-only policy, the Parlours current business cards read: Appointments recommended...Walk-ins always welcome. I plan to use the Parlour again. Highly recommend.

Ive been to this awesome place 4 times now, and it doesnt matter who cuts your hair- all of them are attentive and professional. Now I finally understand why my wife gets her hair done-its like a 45 minute vacation from everything. Well worth the money and the drive. I live about 20 miles from this shop and pass about 30 or so other barber shops knowing that the best is worth the drive.

I went in for a basic shape-up haircut, nothing complicated. I called just before they opened at 9, and was able to basically walk in for a cut.Had a nice cup of coffee, the barber was pleasant and very attentive to my hair. Was glad to get it washed afterwards (no hair all over me all day), which was pretty relaxing as well. Shave was nice too.Overall I was impressed with the relaxing atmosphere and quality of the cut. Price was slightly higher than your standard barber, but worth it in my opinion.

If you would have told me that there was a barber with the skills of Mr. Nghia, located here in San Antonio, Texas I would have not believed you. The attention to detail and perfectionism is admirable. I always get a high fade and a hard part, not once has my part been crooked or my fade been off. Highly recommended! Haircut has been how I wanted it every time, I been going here for about 8 months.

Called for a hair cut. First time calling for an appointment, owner or manager, not customer service friendly. I couldnt understand his accent and pretty much told me he didnt have any openings without evening trying to first find out if i was returning or new customer. I would recommend to learn how to speaks with customer over the phone.

It is easy to find a place to get a haircut. It is difficult to find a GREAT place to get your haircut.The Parlour focuses on both quality of work and customer service. An average haircut takes approximately 30 minutes. This ensures that great detail is taken towards your appearance.For a little more man-scaping, be sure to treat yourself to a straight razor share. This 8 step process will leave you relaxed and refreshed.

First class treatment all the way was offered a drink . sharpest haircut i have gotten in a while. i also got a straight razor shave and was extremely pleased with. very reasonably priced at $47 for a shave and cut. i have seen this same treatment else where sell for $80+. I was a first timer another guy was getting the same thing and they knew him by first name and it seemed that they did a genuine ob trying to get to know me. will be returning

This is a family shop. Once you are an established customer you are treated very well They know my name, and take time to cut my hair exactly as I like. Old fashioned personalized service for regular customers.

Im a student at UTSA and I tried this place for the first time and it was great! I came in with a picture on my phone of how I wanted my hair cut and she cut it exactly how I wanted it. The hot towel, wash/shampoo, and the straight razor shave on the neck and side burns comes with the haircut. She took her time to make sure it was perfect. Over all it took around 30 minutes. Best hair cut experience I have ever had, I will be going here from now on.

Ive been going to the Parlor for about a year. Consistently good haircut every time! I recommend any of the three barbers who work there - they all do a great job. If youre looking for a consistently good haircut, look no further. Robert

Set an appointment at 10 am but had me down for 9:30am. I understand the confusion. But was refused service.older man said theres nothing he can do. Never going back. I spend $60 for a professional barber style haircut...just made me feel unwelcome and very low of myself.

We walked in and instead of saying Hello Welcome the Asian man came up to us and said you have an appt? We said, no we dont and he said you have to have appt. Mind you there were 3 barbers and 3 customers. They seem to be rude and not looking for new business. Even after reading the reviews stating they were expensive we still wanted to try it. But.....bit going there again. We over to a Great Clips and Pam treated us with a smile and gave us an amazing haircut and very friendly people there.

Dont go here if you dont want your hair completely cut off. I think buzz cuts are all they know how to do. :(

After spending fourteen hours in a truck to play a gig in San Antonio and realizing I needed a haircut beforehand. I was appalled with the customer service as well as lack of letting poetential customers know you need an appointment.. Pertinent information and not acting like a snob (my money is just as good as everyone elses..) are a great way to keep clientele.

Nghia Pham hooked it up today! I got a fresh haircut, but my beard man, my beard! Ive been growing a beard for 3 months now and didnt know what to do with it, but my man Pham fixed all of that! You need to make an appointment, but you can probably do it same day!

Review №48

Let me start off by saying I had been looking for a quality barber for almost a year before I tried this place. For years I either shaved my head or cut my own hair because those $7 haircut places are butchers and not worth a dime.I noticed Clippers Barber Shop at 410 and Blanco and LOVED the atmosphere. That place is a throwback for sure. My first cut was with a lady I found out works at their bandera location and it was great. After that I worked my way through their barbers and although they are for sure better than a cheapo place they were just not great and very rough with the straight razor to the point that I though that is just what they feel like and I was getting ready to just ask them not to use it anymore on my neck.I noticed Parlour in the awesome new Alon shopping center and figured I would give it a try because we like right down the street. I checked out the reviews prior to going so it seemed hit or miss but I tried anyway. I saw their hours and went in first thing and the owner told me their first appointment wasnt for an hour so I put my name in and came back. They say walk-ins are welcome but if they have someone on the books they wont risk squeezing you in to bother a regular (which I think is awesome so no one gets rushed)This is where the magic happened. I found a photo online of the cut I would like to try and Yvonne (read: hair artist, angel, awesome) went to work. At first it seemed to me to be like any other hair cut but when it came time for her to say hows that she instead kept moving around me finding stray hairs or any slight sign of imperfection. She is detail oriented and I really appreciate that.Hot towel for your face while your hair is shampooed is all included as part of the $25 haircut. This was my first experience with either and let me tell you, for those who havent bothered before (because it normally costs extra in other places), those few minutes of relaxation are fantastic.I would absolutely agree that this location is more of a salon for men rather than a barber shop purely because of the decor but this is the place to try. I have been going nearly a year now and look forward to the trims and for the first time in my life I ask for someone by name.Check out Parlour, call ahead for the appointment, and ask for Yvonne.
