Best barber shops in Austin: find options near you

you need a haircut, go to Dylan Deanda this guy gave me the best fade I’ve ever had. His customer service is top-tier, and his skills are insane. More people need to know about him! I’m telling you, whatever style you want, he’ll nail it his hands are pure magic.

This was my second time coming to him, thinking there’s no way it could be as good as the first time… and he still delivered perfectly. He will not fail you. I don’t normally write reviews, but trust me, this one’s worth it. Dylan truly deserves more recognition the man’s got serious talent.

Love this barbershop! My son gets his hair cut here from Ricky who is amazing – he does beautiful work and is calm, professional, and kind. It’s easy to get in with their online appointment scheduling process and the cuts are affordable. Highly recommend!

Walked in with the assumption of good service given the reviews. Just received one of the worst haircuts I could imagine from a guy who spoke practically no English, refused to wear a barbers vest and used no alcohol. Asked for a slight trim with no more than 2 centimeters taken off the side and left the chair with a Dominican Mohawk. Refuse to go back

Ricky has always done an amazing job with my hair. He really knows what works for me and always gets it just right. Every cut feels fresh, clean, and effortless. Super grateful for his skill and consistency!

Harry is the best in the game—no question about it.

He’s not just a barber, he’s a true artist with the clippers. Harry’s cut for some of the most elite clients out there—Wall Street and New York executives, Chicago power players, star athletes from the Houston Astros, and big names in the music world. His work speaks for itself, but what really sets him apart is who he is as a person.

Harry treats you like family. He’ll go out of his way to make sure you walk out feeling your absolute best. When I lived in Texas and later moved to Denver, I would literally fly back just to get a cut from him—that’s how serious it was. I don’t have hair anymore, but back when I did, no one else was touching it but Harry.

Even when I was broke, Harry still came through for me. He worked with me, made time, and never made me feel less than. Loyalty like that is rare. If you’ve got hair, trust me—get in his chair. You’ll never want another barber again.

My kid asked for a modern mullet and walked out with an Edgar. The barber just didn’t listen.” I’ve been doing this for 20 years. I’m going to make you look good.”

The only reason this isn’t a one star review is because the manager did the right thing when my wife called and had her bring him in for someone else to fix it. He doesn’t love it, but at least he no longer looks like he should be sagging and sporting a neck tattoo

Zero stars for cut. Three for the professionalism of management.

I’ve been going to Robert for haircuts for years. He nails my cut everytime. I’ve got a longer beard as well and always trust him to trim it exactly how I ask and get my lines nice and clean. You won’t find a better barber. A few times I’ve had to get a cut in a hurry and couldn’t book Robert, and booked a few other barbers at south austin barber shop. They all gave great cuts as well. Good shop all around!

Saide at SHED is awesome! She did exactly what I asked, super good with long hair, and really friendly. She made sure I was happy with the cut—definitely recommend her!

Really great folks and really great haircut. I don’t really leave reviews unless I am outrageously displeased with a situation (like my last apartment where the ceiling collapsed, don’t even get me started ) but SHED and Adrian specifically deserve 5 stars. Incredibly thoughtful about the details, no rushing or distractions, and perfectly remembered my desired cut after only being there once before. Not only is Adrian masterful at all aspects of cutting hair, but he is also very kind and nice to talk to (and all other employees there from my brief interactions with them). Overall, a great barbershop and great energy.

Erika’s awesome! About a month ago (July 25) I went to her for a big chop — cut off around 9 inches going from pretty long to short-medium — and she did such a great job. I was nervous about the change but ended up loving it.

Came back today for a cleanup before my trip to Japan tomorrow and she did exactly what I asked for. I had told her before that I don’t really like fades, and she was great at listening and making sure the cut fit what I wanted. Quick, clean, and it looks great. Super easy to talk to and really listens to what you want. Definitely recommend her!

Valeria is my girl 100%! My past barber moved to Chicago and I had the concern of finding a regular person. Tried two other spots in Austin; I randomly went to SHED and met her and she is my girl completely for my cuts! Perfect fade EVERY TIME

5 Stars! Chelsea did a great job on my hair and beard. She took her time and made sure I was comfortable with the direction she was going. She was also very friendly and easy to talk to. I’ll definitely call her again for a haircut and beard trim.

I just love the way Chelsea cuts my hair. Never too much or too little. I’ve followed her all over South Austin, I go where she goes. And she’s such a pleasant and friendly person. In my opinion, she’s the best!

Been going to Saide for awhile , she is absolutely amazing and does a great job! The Shed is super friendly and welcoming shop. If you want any kind of a great cut or service and fun time. Go here!

There’s not a single bad barber here. Top level.

I recently had another great experience with Alicia C. She is an incredibly efficient barber and stylist, consistently delivering outstanding haircuts and beard trims. She’s typically right on time with appointments, and even when things run slightly behind, she makes the most of her time to ensure a top-notch result. Her passion for her craft comes through in her work.
Alicia’s attention to detail, especially with a straight razor, is exceptional. Her work is truly a cut above.

However, I do want to mention an issue with the shop itself. The air conditioning has not worked for the past few months, and on my visit this Sunday, it was 80 degrees inside. It’s uncomfortable for both clients and staff, and with summer approaching, this needs urgent attention from Floyd’s management or the commercial lease team.

Used to be pretty good with almost no wait times and around $35.
Now the quality has dropped drastically and it’s hit or a miss just like at Sportsclip or other generic haircuts.
Used to be able to walk-in but not anymore, unfortunately.
I would go here unless there are no other reasonably priced places

The staff is always very helpful and friendly. I have been going to Colleen for a couple of years now. She is great and always takes the time to make sure I have the perfect haircut. She is very great to talk to you as well.

Fuimos recientemente (toda la familia) y definitivamente volveremos.
Nos atendió Diana, súper amable con los niños y muy buena en su trabajo, la recomiendo muchísimo. Gracias

I’ve been going to Betty at Floyd’s for more than three years and she is amazing! She quickly learned how to best treat my hair and after a few months I didn’t even have to say what treatments I wanted. A true professionaI! I always left satisfied. The rest of the staff are great as well. Well worth the price!

Gillian is always so awesome! I only book appointments with her since she knows what I want and is very friendly and fun to talk with. She has also recommended some products that I still use because they work. Thanks for providing a great service and experience!

I was happy paying $40 for detailed beard trim and buzz cut. I was getting this service every 3 weeks would tip my Barber Alonso 20% he is the best. But last time i got charged $55 they told me price went up. Thats a big jump, i can get better deals somewhere else, so thats my last time going. Price change to over 20% really?

Madison Williams gives me the best haircuts of my life. I have long wavy hair, and she does precise dry cuts that work beautifully to bring out my waves. When she says the cut should last six months, she’s not kidding. I’ve seen her twice a year for 4 years now and I LOVE how my hair looks. I’ve recommended her to all of my wavy/curly friends!

I also really like the salon experience. Their process and space have both been thoughtfully designed with inclusiveness at the forefront. It’s a sleek, user-friendly, and calming experience from start to finish.

HIGHLY recommend this salon!

If I could give this place 6 stars, I absolutely would! Savannah did an amazing job with my color—it turned out beautifully. And as for Jim… he is truly THE BEST! I went in for a big chop, and he took the time to really assess my hair, carefully considering my 2a/3a (and everything in between!) curl pattern. He sculpted my hair with such precision and artistry—it’s honestly the best haircut I’ve had in a long time. Jim explained his technique, including why he used a razor to open up my curls, and gave me a step-by-step on how to style my new short look. I can’t say enough about how talented he is. Thank you so much, Jim! My hair looks incredible, and I feel amazing!

This place is awesome! The salon is gorgeous. A small but good thing to note was how comfy the hair washing bowls were, I’ve never truly been comfortable in one until here. I got my hair blown out by the new assistant Aubrey, and she was great! She was super easy and fun to talk to, and very quick with the styling. She also made sure that my hair was exactly how I like it, making me very comfortable. The people at the front desk were very kind and helpful too! Overall great experience!

On my first cut with Jace, he took the time to understand my hair’s weird texture and what I wanted, and did a custom cut that is easy to style but can also be polished with a blowout. Before pic is the one with the yellow shirt. At my second visit with him he NAILED it a second time, and yesterday I went back for my third and because I trusted him I let him do the curtain-y bangs he suggested and I love it! The vibe is relaxed at the salon and they don’t try to get you to buy products; just really really exceptionally good stylists who actually listen and work with instead of against your hair’s natural texture.

I had such a great experience with Kasey and Dylan! They did both my cut and color, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I came in really unsure about what color I wanted, but they took the time to listen to my ideas and talk me through options without ever making me feel rushed. Kasey and Dylan were so polite, patient, and genuinely kind throughout the whole process. They paid close attention to detail and made sure I was comfortable with each step. I left loving both my color and my cut—exactly what I was hoping for! I highly recommend Kasey and Dylan if you’re looking for someone who’s not only talented but also really cares about giving you the look you want.

Andrea at Keith Kristofer is truly a hair artist!! She gave me exactly what i was looking for and I can’t image having a better experience. Everyone at the salon was very kind and inviting. I love my hair! Tysm, Andrea!!!!

I recently moved to Austin from NYC, where I’d been seeing the same stylists for years, so trying someone new felt a little nerve-wracking. I booked with Jenna for a single-process color and Jace for a cut, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. They both did an incredible job, and I now feel confident knowing I’ve found trusted stylists here. Highly recommend!

Been seeing Andi for barbering the past few months and couldn’t be happier with the results. Andi always does a great job of listening to what you want and has the experience and skill to turn your feedback into something clean and stylish. Her fades are terrific – I also got my first beard trim from her recently and loved how it turned out! Would 1000% recommend Andi to anyone looking for an exceptional barber in Austin.

I’ve been going to Andi for about two years now, and I can honestly say I won’t let anyone else touch my hair. Every cut is clean, consistent, and exactly what I ask for. She really listens and somehow makes it even better than what I had in mind. The vibe is always relaxed, good conversation if you want it, and just an overall great experience. Highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone who actually cares about their craft.

Andi is a straight-up fade wizard. Super chill, fast hands, and the shop’s so clean you could eat off the floor (but don’t, just trust me). She hooked me up with a mid-drop fade that fits my face like it was custom-tailored. Location’s clutch too—I might ‘accidentally’ need a haircut every week just to hang out.

I was greeted when I walked in, offered a beverage. My appointment started on time. The barbers workstation was prepped and clean. My barber listened to what I wanted and executed perfectly. What more can you ask for?

Michael is awesome! Really listened to what I was looking for and fixed my last hair cut. Gave me some great recs for watching football games, and is just an all around cool dude. Will definitely be coming back!

This is my 3rd time seeing Andi since moving to Austin and she’s become a barber I can trust completely.

She’s always on time to appointments and get’s the job done in 30-40 minutes. During the consultation phase, she listens really well and asks questions to ensure she knows what you want. During the cut, she does a good job with both clippers on the sides and scissors on the top. Haircuts always turn out well because she understands how hair lays, head shape, and cutting technique. Lastly, conversation is chill and professional.

In addition to a great cut, the barbershop itself is welcoming, clean, and enjoyable.

Chris at Olde Soul Barber is amazing! He listens, professional, precise and just a good guy!
Olde soul is a wonderful shop, they are very accommodating, the atmosphere is fantastic, they are very inclusive and they have some of the best barbers in Austin. Don’t hesitate to go to Olde Soul Barber for your barber needs.

The best haircut I’ve had in years! Bethany was my stylist. She helped me achieve the middle part flow and it’s grown out great since my haircut. She also knew what was best for my hair so she helped me avoid styling mistakes. I will definitely be returning

I’ve bounced around trying to find a barber who actually knows how to cut curly hair, and Honest Barber finally nailed it. Had a cut with Kirk and he was awesome — super laid-back, easy to talk to, and just really damn good at what he does. Best cut I’ve had in a long time.

The shop has a great vibe too. Clean, not pretentious, just solid quality work in a chill space. I’m officially a regular now. Highly recommend checking it out — especially if you’ve had trouble finding someone who gets curly hair. Kirk’s your guy.

Honest Barber is hands-down one of the best barbershop in town! I booked a cut with Victoria and couldn’t be happier with the result. She offered great styling tips, and nailed the fade perfectly. The atmosphere is relaxed but professional, all the tools are spotless, and the staff make you feel welcome the minute you walk in. If you’re looking for a sharp cut and friendly service, ask for Victoria—you’ll walk out feeling like a new person. Highly recommended!

I’ve been going to Honest Barber for a while now – a couple of years? – and it’s a pretty great place. Everyone is cool there, you can tell people are happy to get their hair cut from their person and it’s isn’t crazy expensive. I go to Travis and I’ve never been disappointed, or less than completely satisfied. He’s got a great, laid-back vibe, easy to talk to and knows what he’s doing. All the other folks are chill and friendly and you just feel relaxed and taken care of by the time you leave. 5 stars, no notes.

Honest Barber is a great place to get your haircut, and I cannot recommend Victoria more! Victoria always pays attention to detail, and is a pleasure to be around. I always leave very satisfied with my haircut and always make sure to book with her.

I’ve had great experiences at Honest Barber, and highly recommend them. Victoria is my go-to barber and she always does a great job. My hair isn’t easy to cut. I have a few cowlicks that make it challenging, but Victoria really knows what she is doing. I get tons of compliments on every cut. Plus, the easy location and easy scheduling makes Honest a great experience.

Victoria at Honest Barber is the best. She helped me change up my haircut after years of the same thing, and I’ve been really happy with the results. She’s easy to talk to, the vibe in the shop is great, and I actually enjoy getting my haircut now. Highly recommend!

Just got one of the best haircuts I’ve ever had — and that’s saying something coming from a guy who travels the world for a living. On only my second day in Austin, I found this gem. The team was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and professional. The skin fade was absolutely perfect — clean, sharp, and exactly what I asked for. Couldn’t be happier with the whole experience. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-tier service and precision cuts.

I’ve had a few haircuts from this shop, I’m sure all the barbers are good, but Cassy gave me the best haircut I’ve had in years.

If you’re thinking about trying this place, I highly suggest you book an appointment with her.

The place is really nice and you’ll be greeted offered a drink as a soon as you step in.

Cassy has been cutting my hair for probably close to 5 years here at this shop. Not only is she always ensuring that she meets my desire for my haircut and beard trim, she is always extremely friendly and enthusiastic when I’m in her chair. Not only have I found an exceptional barber in her services, I have also found a friend. If you’re looking for a top tier barbershop, Barbon’s is the place to be. If you’re also looking for a gem of a human being and borderline therapist, look no further than Cassy.

What an absolute pleasure it was to visit Barbon’s! Gun Kim was my barber and gave me one of the best haircuts I’ve ever had. We discussed what we had been reading and shared stories from our travels, all while enjoying a phenomenal cut. I searched extensively before finding Barbon’s and Gun Kim, and I couldn’t be happier with the overall experience. If I could give him six stars, I would. Thanks again!

Austin’s most professional barbershop! A great selection of barbers to connect with and a full list of services to choose from. Booking is easy online and there is always a drink waiting for you when you get there.

My barber Cassy is amazing. She’s very friendly and my hotness always improves by at least 1 point after getting a haircut. highly reccomend

Gun was Very respectful and professional. He listened carefully, asked questions when needed, and worked patiently. Great haircut, good beard trim — not exactly how I envisioned it, but still a great experience overall.

First time in Ana Jones cut my hair.

Ana is a samurai of her craft, she understand the importance of growth, communication and empathy.

All issues I’ve struggled with in the past with my barber. There’s lots of skilled people in this industry in Austin but their attitude and character stands in the way of them exceeding their previous best.

I really appreciated her approach to my cut, super talented barber and an incredibly warm and strong presence.

Thank you Ana Jones!

I love going to Skinny’s! It’s got that old-school vibe with the banter between the barbers. And the tunes are always great. Tiny makes me look like a new man every time with his precision cuts and focus on my beard. Keep it up guys and gals!

I can’t say enough positive things about this place! It’s great, got that old school, neighborhood barber shop feel. Staff is amazing, always great conversation to be had and Ana is especially awesome. They always have me looking my best and I get excited every time I get to come in for a cut and shave. Go to Skinny’s, you won’t be disappointed!

I’ve been going to skinny’s for 7 years and wouldn’t recommend any other shop. Every barber has a great skill set and is incredibly talented. John’s been cutting my hair for 5 years at this point and every time I walk out with an excellent cut.

John always takes care of me every other week with my haircut and beard trim. I’ve been a customer of his for over 12 years and will always come back and recommend skinny’s to anyone looking to get a cut.

The best shop to get any style haircut. All the barbers are friendly and professional!!! Great all around experience. Don’t forget to say hello to Skinny in the back!

Took my 2 year old for a haircut! Joe was so kind and patient with him. It’s great inside with a chill environment. We will definitely be coming back.

Miss Debbie is amazing. She’s very skilled with great service I haven’t experienced anywhere else. Very communicative and walks you through the cut as she does it so you know you’re getting what you want. Moving to a new city and finding a new barber can be tough but if you book here, you won’t have to find another shop.

I go here about once a month, my barber’s Austin. He’s been cutting my hair for over a year now and I don’t go to anyone else. He does quality, consistent work every single time. Drop on by and he’ll get you straight.

Real cool little place too, good vibes and good people.

Just had my second cut at The Good Life Barbershop and I couldn’t be happier. Parker James really understood what I was going for from the start and delivered exactly what I wanted—both times. He’s got a great attention to detail and really takes his time to get it right without dragging things out. The cut looks sharp, feels clean, and I’ve gotten a bunch of compliments already. I found this place after my old shop closed, and I’m glad I did. Super convenient location, easy parking, and overall a great experience. Highly recommend this shop!

I was looking for an authentic good old school barber shop and I found it. Austin gave me a great cut and the environment was great. Highly recommend and will be making this a regular place

Very cool place! Always love visiting a cool new speakeasy. The bar is a little small on the inside, but has a great selection of local and non-local beers. Came here after work with a coworker and it’s a nice little underground spot – definitely not too crowded and an easy vibe inside. Would recommend checking it out! (and getting a cut)

Got a cut from Parker James yesterday and had a smile on my face ever since, love the way it came out, dude is a pro and big recommend.

Great little speakeasy tucked away downstairs. Good selection of craft beer. Local Sale was a fun bonus. Small spot so don’t plan on a big crowd. Good service and very chill. Bring a couple friends and start a night here for sure.

After moving into town, looked for a barber shop that would deliver without the hype (or fluff).

I visited several different shops before committing to an appointment: from the luxury higher end (membership type) to a few smaller places in salon parks.
Really wanted a place that I’d look forward to coming in every three weeks and keep groomed. When I walked in, the place and atmosphere reminded me of the old school straight blade barbers growing up. Made an appointment and it delivered.

Flight (Fabian) will make sure you look your best, easy going and relaxed. Never had Heli or Dakota but they do great work and I’d recommend them also. Online scheduling and updates from Flight when running behind schedule shows the commitment to service their customers.

Skilled barbers who love what they do, always a good atmosphere and a good selection of craft drinks while you wait.

Yo ATX…you found the spot – stop looking. BB ATX is the one. From the moment you walk-in you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. Everyone is so nice and chill – every person walks out looking like a million bucks! The nice chill fun vibe with leather chairs, perfect music and yes actual barber chairs. Mr. Fabian “Flight” Bailey sends me out the door with the exact cut I wanted and best of all – the smile and laughter set you straight all day until someone says, “hey there – nice haircut” – then you are on Cloud 9. Book. Go. Enjoy. Just don’t take my spot – just kidding – I know how to book early! The image is from Happy Days – Fonzie’s hair was his pride and joy! Now you know!

Bearded Barber ATX is a top-notch barbershop that combines skill, style, and great service. Their team is professional, friendly, and always delivers quality cuts in a welcoming atmosphere. As their commercial insurance partner, we’re proud to support them and have seen the passion they bring to their craft. Highly recommend Bearded Barber ATX for anyone looking for an excellent grooming experience in Austin!

Dave is the best! He does an amazing job every single time and really takes the time to understand exactly what you’re asking for. It’s more than just a haircut—it feels like a man’s spa day and a truly relaxing experience. I always leave feeling refreshed and looking sharp. Highly recommend him, and I’ll definitely be coming back!

Just moved to Austin and was in the market for a new barber! Kotah came highly recommended and for good reason. He’ll 100% be my barber moving forward. He gave me a great haircut and a clean fade & straight razor lineup. I highly recommend this shop & Kotah. He’s a super nice and solid dude that had me leaving feeling confident!

I’ve been going here since 2017 and I can’t recommend it highly enough. Especially Fabian- he’s the best. I love that you don’t feel like they are rushing through people. I think it is impossible to get a haircut you don’t like here.

I’ve been to this barbershop twice so far — first with Chris and then with Fabian — and both times I walked out with exactly the haircut I wanted. I really appreciate how they ask for all the details up front, making sure they understand what you’re going for. That attention always shows in the final result.

The conversations are always engaging, and the vibe is relaxed and friendly. On top of that, the haircut always comes out looking sharp. Definitely my go-to spot now, especially since I live nearby!
