    If the barber is on the Northside disappoint me, I know that Elvis got me. Best haircut I’ve had in a while, with the price to match it.

    I’ve been coming to this place for years on and off every time I visit Houston and I’ve always had a great experience. Elvis took care of me today and he did a superb job. I always leave BK feeling dapper, clean, and ready to go! Thank you Edgar and team, your work is as good as ever!
