Best Barber Shops In Austin

“The man was very informative on how to help me with a style and by also providing me some great information on how to deal with bumps on my head.“

“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.“

“I stumbled across Short Hair Company when my longtime stylist, Christina, started cutting hair there. Let me tell you, it’s been a great experience. I knew they had the talent with Christina cutting hair there, but after my first time going to SHC I understood. All the staff that work there are cool and welcoming and the shop itself is such a vibe! It’s a convenient location off South Congress and they’ve got all the amenities. I’m happy I found this place. Thanks y’all!“

“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.“

“Ash really helped me try out a new style. She was really conservative and that helped so much. If I had chosen to cut more hair it would have been a disaster. The people here are neat and take a lot of time with their clients!“

“I have been going to different barbers and shops for the past few years. My first time to Bearded Barber was a great experience. Eli cut my hair, and even with my poor guidance with direction, he did exactly what I wanted. I left the shop able to go back to work without the irritating cut hairs that linger until you're able to shower.

Needless to say, I will be back!“

“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.“

“I’ve been getting a haircut from Dylan for a couple months now and I’m finally just leaving a review after he just gave me a real good cut. I just want to say he does an amazing job and He really pays attention to detail. He’ll get you done real good, so I really recommend him!!“

“I’ve been getting my haircuts from Angelo a couple years now. Perfect cut every time and I always get compliments. Want a great cut, definitely go see Angelo.“

“I've been coming to this barbershop for a while now and always book my haircut with Ahmed—he's consistently excellent. Super professional, friendly, and pays attention to the little details that really make a difference. I only get a basic haircut, but they offer the full range of traditional barber services—shaves, beard trims, hot towel treatments, and more. The place is clean, well-kept, and has a relaxed vibe. Highly recommend if you're looking for a reliable, skilled barber.“

“Adrianna at Platinum Fades is the best! She always gives a clean cut, treats people with genuine care, and brings such good vibes every time. Highly recommend her if you want great service and a fresh look.“

“I’ve gotten cuts from Tim, Kris and Lesly and I’ve always been very satisfied. They are very professional and polite. Highly recommend!!“

“Came in for the first time. Awesome spot. David gave me a 5-star haircut. Nice guys, chill atmosphere, good price.“

“Adam was great today…friendly, professional, and accommodating with what I wanted. Very cool spot too. Highly recommend!“

“Fantastic haircut experience. Probably the best ever. Fahren contains a wealth of information about hair/beard care that I’ve never experienced before. Will be going back“

“Monica crushed it. Awesome bread trim! Way to go and looking forward to picking up a copy of your book once your publish it! ❤️“

“Early in 2025, my long time hair cutter decided to move to Florida. I am VERY particular about how my hair is cut so finding a replacement was difficult. I gave Suk a try and I have not been disappointed. She's pleasant and funny and she really cares about doing a good job and that is huge. She cuts the hair on the back of my head better than anyone I have ever experienced. Since I live at the South end of MoPac, she is not convenient but she is absolutely worth the drive.“

“Lucie is the absolute best! She's been cutting my hair for over a decade. She's so nice, she listens, always prompt, and is very talented. Can't recommend her enough!“

“Very polite and reasonable. Clean , spacious and good music and jab.

Actually I think they need increase their prices.

Perfect hair cut.

You won't go wrong with these guys.“

“I have been going to Dom for a haircut 2 x month for the past 2 years and his skills never disappoint! Great place to get a quality haircut and great atmosphere. Highly recommend Dom! Thank you!“

“I like it when the cut my hair to look like a boy. Unfortunately, this is not as common in other shops....“

“Big Alex is the best. I have been going to him for over 3 years now. He always does a great job cutting my hair. He is easy going, good to talk with and is a master at his craft. He really cares about you and wants to make sure that you like your cut. The rest of the shop is great as well, they all greet you and make you feel welcome.“

“Gina is an excellent barber. I would let her cut my throat anytime. She handles that straight razor like a pro.“

“Matt was my barber for 3 years. Stopped going because I moved north. Impeccable quality and service. I recommend anyone in the downtown ATX area book an appointment with these guys.“

“I booked an appointment online with Kenneth Avila and was absolutely blown away. His attention to detail, and how he gave me exactly what I wanted (actually better than what I wanted lol) is exactly what I was hoping for in finding a barber. Go to Kenneth and thank me later - I found my barber for life!“
