This is the best barbershop in San Antonio. Marilyn Runs a tight ship.

Very laid back atmosphere......good barbers too.

Great service, every time ! always leave with a smile

My dad (74 years old) visited this barber shop yesterday and came home raving about Ms. Marilyn! I have never heard my dad sing someones praises so much! He went on and on about the excellent service he received. Very clean and orderly. 10/10 hell be back again!

I found Thousand Oaks Barber Shop about 2 years ago. Since then, I have not needed to look for another place. Marilyn does great work. She is like extended family. Absolutely love this place. God Bless this barber shop.

This was my first time here and Marilyn is the REAL DEAL!! I will definitely be going back. Thanks Marilyn!!

Amazing friendly service I will not go anywhere else atmosphere is great service is excellent people are friendly

Excellent overall barbershop! Great customer service and quality of work!

Great mom and pop barber shop. Mrs.Marilyn is always in a great mood which makes you feel welcomed.

Top notch, good people make you feel at home.

The only place that I could find that does a real Flat Top Marilyn is the best. So if your looking for a great cut at a decent price. This is the place to go to.

Ive been going to ms marilyn since I was 14 years old.best place for a real Barber shop experience. Great haircutting skills

The most awesome place to get a fresh clean cut there so friendly and welcoming we been going since there first location, my son was around three hes 8 now I wont go to no other barber, as long as there around. Marilyn is my sons favorite shes so kind and sweet to children.

Barbers were friendly and very accommodating, barber did just as I asked

They always give me a great haircut and shave...

Marilynn is the best, she always gives me exactly what Im wanting in a haircut

Best ever...

Under rated barber she needs to be on TV. Prices are cheap/normal for some reason.

Marilyn has been cutting my hair for close to 20 years, I have followed her from barber shop to barber shop!! She does a great job and I feel refreshed when I leave!! Thank you, Marilyn!!

If you are looking for a permanent barber shop then you have found it. Amazing service from the time I walked in until the moment i left. Ryan, the shop hands was very engaging and personable. Marilyn gave me fantastic service and a great cut. I gave her complete freedom with my hair and beard and she did not let me down. This will be my only choice from here on out. Thank you to the staff there for a great experience

Great spot. They certainly take their time to cut your hair and all. Certainly medium price range, the quality is worth it.

Great service, friendly environment. Angel is an excellent barber. I needed someone who would cut my hair just right. I hit up a few other barber shops in the area, but nothing turned out well. Angel is an excellent barber.Lots of children get their haircut here as well, so Im assuming they are great with kids. Every time I get my haircut, there are kids getting their hair cut as well.Great service, great barbers...I will continue to go there, over and over.

Very friendly and inviting staff. Quality haircuts and nice atmosphere. Would definitely recommend this Barber Shop. Ask for Marilyn, she is outstanding.

Real Barbers. Great inviting customer service.

The wait is quite awhile, but the service is amazing! Marilyn and her husband are amazing! They never rush to do it fast, they take their time, almost till its perfect. Ive been taking my boys here for yrs. Ive never been dissatisfied

Ive been going here off and on for over 10 years to get cleaned up by Marilyn. Shes given me the best bald-fades in over 21yrs of serving this country. Im blessed to be back in the area to get those cuts again. If youre looking for a great cut from an extremely friendly barber, who provides television, music, snacks, and much more, this is the place to go.Oh, the price is extremely reasonable for the time they take to ensure your haircut is exactly how you wanted it. That being said, be prepared to wait if you time your cuts poorly. 😉

We were new to the area. Waited a while as a walk in. Ms. Marilyn cut my son hair and we absolutely loved it. She also gave him a hot towel and cleaned off his face neck then head and also massaged his neck and shoulder. Free chips and drinks while you wait. Very reasonable prices. Loved it.

The best place on earth to have a beard trim with an outstanding hair cut!I recommend this barber shop to every one!

My little 19 yr old brother, Q, found this place and told me about it. Upon visiting, I realized that the quality that these barbers exercise, is down right amazing. I have no reason to search for barbers that can give me my style of fades anymore. I personally would wait long periods of time for Marilyn. She is my favorite. I have had my hair cut by two other barbers there, and their work is precise and very high quality. There is no going wrong here! Price is more than fair. Great job yall. Keep it up!

Mike took care of my haircut and shave today and did an amazing job. Will definitely come back after being on the road for a cut.

Awesome service. Very welcoming. All staff knows how to listen and deliever high quality cut satisfaction. I know lots of people like the in and out speed but I personally love people that take their time in giving amazing hair cut. Very clean and the snacks are amazing. Thank you for your business.

Great quality and service !Worth the wait, trust me 😀

My experience happened 2 years ago. The reason Im just now writing this is because of how traumatizing an experience it was. I didnt get my hair cut by the owner, but by a Hispanic woman who had just started working there a few weeks earlier. I wanted to experience a straight razor shave and when I asked, she said yes, in fact, they offer that. Do I got a haircut and a shave, but it was by far the worst shave of my life and to this day I dont know why I paid for it, or go back and ask for my money back. The woman used a cold towel, a STANDARD DISPOSABLE razor (explained she had to get my hair down to length because it was thick. BS), barely even touched with the actual straight razor. That woman tore up my face! I know this sounds ridiculous but it truly does haunt me every now and then! She pressed against my skin with that disposable razor and passed over and over and memory tells me it looked like a used razor. I kid you not. I wish I had paid better attention and stopped her from tearing up my face. I had never had razor burn in my life so I didnt fully realize what the discomfort really was. I left with baby-butt smooth skin, and redness like a tomato, which I chalked up to just a little irritation. Oh no.... I had SCABS on my face for days. She even said to me as I was leaving, I didnt cut you, you just have really thick hair. I didnt understand because I didnt realize yet that I was cut. Very few things in my life traumatized me, but this really did. Every time I have a little irritation from shaving I remember that experience. I shave almost never. I use trimmers. Mostly I just keep a beard.

This place has that old school barber feel, with that new school look! Great southern charm! Well worth the wait and the price is fair :)

Ive been going here since Marilyn first opened. She never lets me down. She cuts how you want. Although Ive never used any other barber there, I wont go anywhere else. Straight razor shaves with hot towel, massage everything. Old school talent from an upbeat woman.

Great place to get your haircut. Very friendly. Great barber

Amazing work and very friendly staff! Came into town from Del Rio, Tx and were pleasantly surprised with this Barbershop. We will be back and if you haven’t been here y’all need to go! Thank you from the Barrera family!!!

I love the way they cut my fiancés hair. I take him all over town and he isnt completely satisfied until I took him here. The lady did a wonderful job and she was very nice. They are quick and professional. I highly recommend this place.

Great atmosphere clean inside Tvs also have snacks while you wait. Marilyn is a good barber and makes you feel at home...

Eclectic Barbershop - Its out of the ordinary so if you like routine this may not be the place for you. That being said, show up, sign in and wait. I noticed several people ahead of me on the list but not in the shop. So, the rule is the list rules, a guy and his son showed up and went ahead of me because they were ahead of me on the signup page.On to the haircut - it was accurate and what I was looking for. If I had to make a complaint, it would be that it took longer than I thought it might, but all in good time. The people were personable, chatty, and outgoing. Suggestions about the local area were in response to questions I had and were reasonable.Overall a 5 - that being said, Timing is everything....

Best barbershop, everyone in there has skills. Inexpensive as well.

Not only was it a quality haircut but the service was superb as well. I definitely suggest you give it a try and the price is not bad at all.

Went here a couple weeks ago and the woman that helped me was the best. I wish I could remember her name but the level of quality and service is comparable to any boutique barber Ive been to. This is the only place Ill go to now

Great people and service! Best shave Ive ever had!

The owner and brother all they do is argue when the husband was there they would argue about moneyAlways did a good job on my hair cut until it came down to the edge up she would go way to high on one side.

Great place to get a haircut? Me and my son go here. Great service. Thank you thousand oaks barbershop😎

Great experience every time,Mike hooks it up with dope fade cuts

Needed a haircut BAD. Hard to find a place that knows how to fade. I googled barber shops by my house. I came here with average expectations and left BLOWN AWAY! Kenny was awesome. Literally a PERFECT haircut and beard trim. Not to mention the price was very reasonable.Yall have a happy new customer. Thanks!

The people are nice and the cuts are ok but if you go here you better have the rest of the day off I waited two hours and called before going in, they told me the guy cutting my hair only had one guy and he was already seated I waited about 2 hours and he still wasnt done at that time it was too long already and dint get my haircut only went there to watch movies.

I have followed Marilyn from when I found her at Clippers on Bandera Rd. maybe 10-12 years ago, she does an awesome job, I refuse to go to anybody else in San Antonio. Just wish her shop was closer to NW Side but I will continue to make the trip across town to get my haircut done by her!! Thank you Marilyn!!

Amazing barbershop. The owners are down to earth and hard working. As long as they are open, Ill never go anywhere else.

Service is excellent. They even have toys for the kids in the back! Foosball and chess as well. But the wait OMG more than an hour!!

By far the best barbershop Ive been here in San Antonio...staff is very friendly...the most popular hair cuter there Marilyn is quite a character(u will have to go to see what i mean), but u definitely get the vibe of her kindheartedness and well intentions right off the bat. When i first went ill admit the other barbers werent so convincing, but as Ive kept going i can assure you she has surrounded herself with a good team. I almost always feel i should leave at least 50 percent in tip on satisfaction alone. All in all great place, especially for me which im very picky about my hair. Its sort of become a routine family visit.

Great haircut, phenomenal service. Its great to find a true barber shop that will finish with a hot lather & straight razor shave as well as a brief shoulder & arm massage. Highly recommend a visit to these folks, you cant go wrong.

My husband and son enjoy their visit here every time. Not for people in a rush. Snacks to eat and games to play while you wait.

Best barber experience Ive ever had. Cant wait to go back.

Straight forward good cuts and conversation

Great services. Have been going there for years

Got my hair cut by a guy named rick after no wait. Worked fast and efficient but stopped every now and again to ask me to double check to make sure I liked how it looked. I appreciated that a lot because I usually am too nervous to tell someone theyre doing a bad job. He kept giving me the mirror to double check until it was absolutely perfect. I was in and out in less than 15 minutes and felt better about my hair cut than I ever did going to stylers and discount shops. Tipped him almost 100% the cost and plan on returning in the future.

Excellent Shop! The have FREE Snacks! It doesnt get any better than that! Plus I get to read mens magazines, so I learn a lot about men as well. Not to mention JC does a great job with my 10 year old son.

They are amazing our first time going there we love it for a small place they’re amazing

I dont understand how I can come in a nd sign my child in. Sit and wait over an hour. A man and his two kids come in well after us and get called to sit in your seat before you even acknowledge us. BAD BUSINESS! Scratch that place off of my list

Marilyn is the best barber in town, by far!!

Awesome service and very good haircut. Regular haircuts at $15. Family environment and free coffee and snack.

Ask for Marilyn. She takes great care of my two boys.

Ask for david! They take their time with you

A sweet lady greeted me and welcomed me in (she cuts hair also) The receptionist was very friendly and respectful. Then the barber walked in... He smelled like he just finished smoking weed and his eyes were completely blood shot... needless to say, he missed several few spots. I dont care what you do on your spare time, but if it affects your work, you should re consider getting stoned before cutting someones hair. i believe in second chances.. this was actually my second time in here. I will take my business elsewhere from now on.

David took his time and made my hair beard and mustache look awesome

One of the best places in town! My son loves it here, very professional and kind people, hot towels, razor edge-ups, highly recommend checking them out!

Becky Davis is the Best!! Professional, talented and fun.

Great Quality Barber!

Great experience and people, seriously you cant beat this place for the price

Took 3 months to find a shop that does it right. Kenny gave me quite possibly the best high fade yet!

Great cuts great spot people are friendly

I hate to leave bad reviews, but i am tired of reading 4/5 or 5/5 stars and wondering WTH after I pay for a service. I moved to San Antonio 6 months ago. I have been in a constant search for a true barber. I am picky, i do want a barber who can actually fade hair, or trim a beard that is not one length all over. My attitude is that if i wanted a beard or hair that was all one length i would just amazon prime myself some clippers! I chose this place off the outstanding reviews, and assumed the couple of negative reviews were from just grumpy people....you cant please everyone. However, I have came to the conclusion that people whom rate these shops as 5 stars must not understand what a truly good barber shop can be.So for the experience..I call ahead of time and ask how they schedule appointments or if its first come first serve. I also ask the guy on the phone if they have anyone in the shop who trims beards and who is the best. His reply was we all trim beards, but the owner Marilyn is the best.So as advised, i sign in and request Marilyn. First of all as one review states she is different and talks alot, but i do think she is a neat and genuine person at heart. With that said, my experience was not good. She made multiple attempts at trimming beard and it was obvious she has no clue how to do unless its all one length. The hair cut was good, but average at best (my haircut is simple). Other things that bothered me:1. Use of a hair dryer to blow hair off? No compressor or vacuum system?2. Safety razor, to shave neck and trim around beard? Btw i was bleeding mildly after.3. Ray Charles could see my beard was all to hell and three times i had to tell her to fix major gaps or errors (big stuff).. Quit handing me the mirror hoping i will say yeah perfect! Trust me when i say, it was not the time to hand the client the mirror for the final inspection. So either she didnt care how it looked or she has lost her mind (both Unacceptable IMO).Again not horrible, but a very basic shop and skill level. Price is high for level of skill and service provided. If you are looking for a basic haircut, with nice warm towels then you will be happy. I personally can order clippers and warm some towels at home. In the end my hair and beard, ended up being very very short, one step above a faded buzz cut and beard trim.

Good service for fast food

This shop is now a institution on thousands oak maryln is the best cuts last weeks and stay looking good

Great overall experience, except the new girl shes rough with the razor. The back of my neck felt sunburned after she was thru with me.Just wait for Marilyn.
