Best Barber Shops In Austin

“Sofia was great! Very inquisitive about how you'd like your hair cut and does a fantastic job. I'll definitely be going back.“

“Katie was great! Her lines are defined, and fade perfectly blended. Definitely going back.“

“I am a bald gentleman, and I am very particular and careful and picky when it comes to getting my beard cut and how it’s done because I don’t have much to fall back on lol… I wanted to try a new style so I booked an appointment with Flight and then I ended up missing my apt. Not only did he reach out to me asking if I was going to be able to make the appointment, but when I called an hour later, he fit me into his schedule as a new customer. ON A SATURDAY.. I walked in, and he was welcoming, not frustrated with me, and offered me if I needed a water to drink.. THEN he did a phenomenal job, he was incredibly personable and great to talk to, and did a hell of a job on my beard and nailed the new style I was going for.. I 10 out of 10 strongly recommend checking this place out for your haircuts / beard and specifically going to him!

Thanks!
- A new lifelong customer“

“This literally was the best haircut and shave I have had in Austin since I moved here in 2002! So professional, and so refreshing. The entire staff was great and I was laughing and enjoying the whole experience. Chinita was literally the kindest and literally did the best cut and shave I could have ever asked for.“

“I would give 10 stars if I could! I found Mike almost 2 years ago (he was in the parking lot near the Shahi Market on Lamar/Parmer) and I haven't gone to anyone else since...and the few times I did I had to go see Mike to fix it!! ?
He is the best barber around, hands down. Great conversation, even better stylist. He definitely knows exactly what he's doing! I always leave feeling like a new person. I do a high fade and light trim on top and he nails it. Every. Single. Time. Thank you Mike for what you do and the friendliness you bring into the world! GO SEE MIKE!!!!!
P.S. he is appointment only now, just fyi before you head over there ✌️❤️?“

“I’ve lived in Austin for over 5 years and I can tell you Wayne is the best in the city. He’s not just talented but he also has great taste and has been able to give me perfect results with several different hairstyles. I recommend Wayne and Scruffs to everyone I know“

“Great atmosphere & decor…will definitely be back for soon for my next cut with Cuhmaro. 10/10 spot, & haircut“

“Been going to Manny for 9+ years and I can testify that this dude can cut any type of hair that you can think of!! This is a before and after ⤵️⤵️“

“Saint knows exactly what he's doing, he never half ass a cut he takes his time and always is a clean taper fr, clean trim, eyebrows right & vibes are always good in the shop definitely book him if you need a new barber“

“Came in for my first haircut post chemo. Damien worked his magic to make me feel pretty and confident with my pixie. He knew exactly how to modify my new growth into a flattering shape. His dual licensure as cosmetologist and barber clearly paid off. I’m so glad I found him.“

“Got quite literally the best haircut I’ve ever gotten with Raquel. W place highly recommend“

“Thanks for the awesome, service,the haircut was nice and tight,exactly what I wanted,
Go see Angelo y'all, he's good“

“Shoutout to Mike and his entire team at Austin Most Wanted!!!!!! The atmosphere is family friendly BEST haircut I ever received, will definitely be going back!!!“

“Unreal service — hands down the best in the city. The location is perfect, and having the game in the back is a major bonus. Definitely a top-tier spot.“

“Little bit of a glitch with the booking system, but the haircut was just fine and all the people in the shop were nice. Owner reached out personally to correct any issues.“

“The Man! Best haircut I have gotten, excellent services, and an overall great experience from start to finish.“

“Ralph’s been cutting my hair for a while now and always does consistent work. Highly recommend this place.“

“Ash did a phenomenal job and she is so sweet and welcoming. I am a guy with a bit longer hair on top than most which I find most barbers struggle with scissor work. However Ash nailed my burst fade middle part. Gave me nice texture and I’m super happy with the result. This place is very welcoming and the guys up front all greet you and you can sit and hangout while you wait for your appointment classic barbershop style. Glad this place is only 3 miles from my apartment!“

“My boy Jovanny got me right. I looked homeless before coming here and after the haircut , I looked like a brand new person even my friend couldn’t recognize me!!“

“Jordan is the man!
Really executes on the vision I walk in the door with for my haircut.“

“I initially came to Little Barber due to its proximity to the UT Austin campus, but even after leaving the campus area, I still come back. Dan always gives me exactly what I want, and I have never left the shop anything less than extremely satisfied. Being a barber is an art form, and all of the barbers at Little Barber, especially Dan, are masters of their craft.“

“You want a crispy fade go see Bid he'll get you right and have you feeling like a new man highly recommend“

“Donnie has been giving me a haircut for 7+ years. Book an appt. w/ him through Booksy (Woo.Blends). Promise he’ll take good care of you. The modern/chill vibe is also nice. They picked a good spot for a barbershop. Wish they opened up a shop in the Domain or further north.“

“Every time I walk out of Sorek, I feel like a million bucks. The walk back to my car is always one with more bounce to my step. That is, if I don't end up with a beer in hand because I've found myself in the heart of East Austin's social scene. Sorek's location is unparalleled.

Upon entry, Jared's familiar face is at the front desk with a handshake out to greet you. He's wearing the clothes he sells because he loves them and believes in them. And in fact, he looks great, luxurious. Rest assured though, there is no sales pitch, just beautiful garments around you’re going to be curious about. For the last two summers, I’ve found myself in nothing but Sorek’s custom-fit shorts.

Politely accept or decline the beverage offer and grab a seat while you wait for your cut to begin. The barbers all run on time and each schedule more than enough for each client. If you're in Jason's chair, expect to make a fast friend and connect with someone that is going to remember your name and how you prefer your grooming.

My wife made an appointment for me with Sorek in 2021 when I decided it was time to let the rest of my fading flow go, and it was time to enter a new era of mid-skin fades and sharp lines. The guys made me feel comfortable with the uncomfortable, helped me laugh at myself a little by assuring me how common this is, and then got to work. When I went home, well, my wife still talks about how good I looked that day. Two years later, Sorek was where I turned for my wedding tux and to get my wedding party and myself looking our best. While I’m reviewing the barber work, the guys’ chairs are usually filled flowing hair that require expert eye and hand. Those gentlemen always leaving looking their best, with the same bounce in their step I feel.

I've had fades and beard trims by most of the guys there; they all have been world-class barbers, but the staff there today is the A-team. I'm sure to schedule my next appointment on the way out the door because demand is high. If you’re new to Austin and want to soak in some of the East-side weirdness, this is a great place to start.“
