I've been coming to Cutthroat Barbershop on Washington for a couple years now, and it's become my go-to spot without question. From the moment you walk in, you just know you're in a good barber's hands--and that you're going to walk out looking sharp. I've been seeing Danny for a while now, and what I appreciate most is the trust I've built with him. I'm not just coming in for the same old cut every time--I feel comfortable enough to let him do whatever he thinks will work best, whether it's a seasonal update or just something new. He's got a great eye, and I always leave looking clean and confident. The shop itself is in a super convenient location right off Washington Ave, with a solid-sized parking lot (rare in this area!). It's also right next to Catalina Coffee and Dark Horse Tavern, so whether you need a quick pick-me-up or a drink before or after your cut, it's all right there. Cutthroat even offers a complimentary drink before your service, which is a nice touch--even though I'm usually rolling in last-minute and don't take full advantage. All in all, it's a laid-back but professional spot with real barbers who know what they're doing. Highly recommend. read more

Been coming here for years and always use the same barber, who is fantastic at what he does and very personable but also understanding on the occasions that I'm not feeling as chatty. As others have mentioned, they are pretty rigid when it comes to tardiness so....don't be late. Just as an adult and as a general rule, don't be late. Leave early and allow for unexpected delays to arise, this is Houston after all. If you're 15 minutes early, you're on time. If you're on time, you're late. They offer free beverages to enjoy while you wait for your appointment to begin, these vary from local beer to whiskey. If you're interested, you may need to request it, not all of the receptionists proactively offer but it is included. Not a bad offering and is appreciated as these aren't the cheapest services you'll find, but they're in-line with other moderately upscale men's barbershops ($40 beard trim etc) and my experiences have always proven worth it. read more

Book with Adele!! She was Fantastic! Very professional and did an amazing job! One of the best fades of my life! Great conversation, made me feel welcome and appreciated! I'm new to the area and she made me feel like I was a regular! Highly recommend!!!!!!!! read more

My first time to this location and I had a great experience! My only qualm was I wasn't offered a drink while I was waiting which is advertised, but I be looking young as hell so it's not even an issue. Adele was so fabulously herself and allowed me the opportunity to tell her my thoughts on what I wanted to do while allowing her some free range. We had good conversation, and as the individual I am I don't talk much. I felt secured, valued, and listened to. My hair was out of control and home girl TAMED it. I left feeling 100% more confident than I did walking in, even with the storms that were happening outside. If you're thinking about coming by here you should, and ask for Adele! read more

Went today for a head shave any new shape on my beard, Thomas, was absolutely amazing! We talked through the whole process we collaborated what was the best look for me! I was looking for something different and he delivered! What an amazing person what a talented Barber! read more

Good haircut, can't complain. Was hoping to get more haircuts done there but due to my experience today, I will no longer go there. For the estimated ~$50 per session (decent haircut and liked the guy so meh) I have been paying for the past 2-3 sessions the customer service could have been better. What happened? I took off time from work for my 3rd appointment at 12:30pm. I arrived on time on my previous appointments. Today, I was already on the road (driving for 30 minutes already) when noticed per GPS my ETA was going to be 12:37 (7 minutes late). I call 10 minutes BEFORE my appointment to notify: "Hey, letting you k now I'm on my way but I'll be arriving 5-10minutes late" Their answer: I was read the 10 minute policy something around that after the appointment time , it's up to the barber to decide and asked to Re-Schedule (probably they'll clarify with nicer words what the policy is about). I clarified, I could arrive within the 10 minute policy because my ETA was only 7 minutes. STILL, I was asked to still re-schedule. Yup, at that point, the lack of flexibility with that 3 minute difference made me realize they are only doing it because they have your money already upfront and the whole "friendliness" shown in previous appointments is crap. They'll still charge me the $50 of today but happy I won't be contributing anymore of my money in future visits. 2 points for haircut 0 points for service 1 point for the beer they give you -1 point for the costs read more

Waited 17 minutes past my appointment time. Front desk guy was oblivious. He offered no update or even any recognition that I was waiting. Very tiny space, so he totally was aware. Left with no end in sight. Will never return. read more

Cutthroat located at Skytower in Dubai Marina is a new (12 weeks old) Barbers shop for the Group. The shop, like their work, is well styled and it's a comfortable place to spend a little time on yourself. Their offerings for male grooming are extensive. I was there for a haircut and was warmly welcomed by Owen with a coffee of excellent quality and some easy Irish banter. He is very competent and clearly a master of his profession. These guys are top class in their profession. In a city that has many Barber shops this is a stand out service that proved to be an all round great experience and I will return. read more

So incredibly dope. I have not gotten my hair cut here but my fiancé does and I love accompanying him on his trims just to hang with the staff and be in the atmosphere. The interior decor is phenomenal. It's a very industrial and vintage vibe. They offer beer to clients and have lots of seating available. read more

I made an appointment for 11:00am. I called at 11:05am to let them know I would be 15 minutes late for 11:15am arrival. They said it was too late and that the latest I could come in was 11:10am. Then the receptionist told me I would most likely be charged the full amount for a haircut but they said I wouldn't be allowed to come in because I was too late? I understand having to pay a late fee or having to reschedule and paying for the time but wouldn't I still deserve the remainder of the timeslot to get my hair cut since I paid for that time? Terrible customer service. Most haircuts are 45min-1 hour long and she said they only reserve 30 minute slots for haircuts. Lies. Anyways, the receptionist said I could come back another but that I'd be charged for 2 haircuts and at this point I said no. Don't use their service. Not worth the headache if you're 10 minutes late to an appointment and even give them a courtesy call at the 5 minute mark. P.s. she called me back and said they would be charging me. What shitty people. read more

Came in for a simple trim and taper...got a terrible cut and paid extra for it, this was truly disappointing I expected way more for something that cost me about $45-47 before tip. I requested a simple trim not for a majority of my hair to be botched and as for my taper it wasn't even blended properly which is disappointing you'd expect a lead barber would be able to blend. Fortunately for me my hair grows quick and the fade doesn't look bad as it did in the beginning but nonetheless Still a bad haircut :/ . read more

Have been in the hunt for my go-to barber in Houston and tried this place out. I'm sure others have had a good experience here, but I can't say the same. The shop itself is nice and has a good feel to it. However, for the $37 plus tip, I expected a far better cut and service than I received. They have a strict cancellation and arrival time policy on their website, but it apparently doesn't work both ways. When I arrived two minutes prior to my appointment, I was barely addressed and then waited almost 10 minutes after my appointment time to be sat. The barber, while friendly, seemed rushed throughout and within 15 minutes, I was being shown the back of my head and the cut was complete. The cut is uneven and it is definitely something I could have received for half the price with better quality at a chain shop. After one day my girlfriend noticed just how much hair was left on one side versus the other, and how ridiculously high the neck line is. Moreover, the barber failed to blow dry all of the hair off my face or comb it so that it at least looked clean walking out. I do not normally complain, so I simply paid and immediately decided to never return. Ended up needing to go somewhere else three days later to fix the awful haircut I received here. Seems like a place that probably treats its regulars better, but considering the cost, the service/experience was horrendous. Definitely will not return. read more

Maybe I had the one bad barber, cause everyone else seemed social, professional, & it was a great atmosphere. However, I received the worst haircut of my life. Looks like it's going to be hat life until it grows back. Frustrating to go in for a haircut for work & leave with a problem that only time can fix. Would leave zero stars if I could read more

Always a great cut and beard trim!! They opened a new location so now there are more locations to choose from

Great haircut with Cookie. Price very reasonable for the time she spent ensuring I was happy. I will be back. Thanks yawl Merry Christmas and Have a Happy New Year!!! read more

Stopped in on a Friday afternoon recently. First time hitting Cutthroat but I already knew the aesthetic of the shop & wanted to solidify that. Sat down in Ryan's chair. Extremely professional & cool gent. I was very pleased with my initial experience & enjoyed everything about it. He offered me a cold Modelo while I sat back, exactly what I needed after a long work week. Met a few of the other guys as I gendered upon this timeless & classic shop. It's original in a way that it stands alone with their own style & vibe. Nobody around is really bringing this type of flavor with the barber services. I loved the wood grain fixtures & Americana vintage vibe. Pricier than most places but you spend more at a bar in mid town in a single outing. Spending a fine amount on my dome is perfectly fine by me. I like keeping up with my fade so thumbs up to these guys. I've now found my new barber shop. read more

Cutthroat - Perfect fade & edge up from Ryan. - Barbers Near Me - Houston, Texas

I have curly hair. I am not a hair stylist. At other places I tried in Houston, the stylist was always asking me what I wanted, specifically. Like, I don't know, I'm not the expert here... I can't tell you how to execute it. My wife was sick of me coming home with sub-par cuts, so she put in some research time on Yelp / Instagram and found Cutthroat for me. Specifically, I went to Danny. I gave him a general idea of what I was looking for, and told him that I'd seen his work on Instagram so I trusted his professional judgment. He was happy to take it from there, and gave me without a doubt the best cut I've ever had. I've been getting cuts from him for about a year and a half now. Apparently there are several others like me, because he told me a ton of guys with curly hair have been seeking him out. When Danny has been unavailable (mostly due to me making a last minute appointment), he's recommended I see Aidee. She's stepped in and done a great job as well. read more

Cutthroat is exactly what you would expect from a high end barbershop. Regular haircuts are at the high end of the spectrum ($35 plus tip) but there is real quality behind the cut. The place is always busy and reservations are a must (usually book 1-2 weeks in advance). Every barber in here appears busy and to do excellent work so you couldn't go wrong. You'll see all kinds of haircuts going on from pretty standard ones to cuts that require multiple visits and months to complete. If you want that super complicated/special cut or just want to step up your quality of life, this is the place. I come for a pretty standard cut, but I think the work here is superior to other cheaper places and I'm willing to pay a little more for it. The environment here is better than the 19th street location. The room is brighter and the chairs are facing each other rather than a single line. All the stylists and most of the clients are trendy so be prepared for that. Private lot out back for parking. Card required to make reservation. read more

I called for a same day appointment and they were able to help me. Electa did the best beard trim I've ever had. The energy of the shop was creative and lively. I've found my new barbershop! read more

Was visiting town and needed a quick haircut and beard trim. The staff was great, service was great, 5 stars all around.

This place really deserves 5 stars, but hair was everywhere and that drives me bonkers. After being there for 45 minutes a barber finally swept up the side we were on. The vibe is laid-back and chill, almost hipster. Completely unpretentious despite the $35 price tag. I'm pretty sure I saw some deer antlers. On to the good. Aidee is awesome and gave my hubs the best haircut I have ever seen on him. He had no idea what is 'in' so he left Aidee and I to our devices. We came up with a fade that did not show the scalp and a side part. He looks dashing, if I do say so myself. Free alcohol always makes me smile, in this case it was a nice cold 8th Wonder brew pint. read more

Many friends of mine had recommended me to visit Cutthroat and I had no idea that it was right next door to Catalina Coffee. One day as I was fueling up on espresso I figured I'd walk into Cutthroat for good old fashioned men's cut. Welp, that didn't happen! They were booked solid for the day so I set up an appointment. I figured if this place is booked solid like that then they must be pretty darn good! I came back with my brother who just so happens to sport a full beard and pretty burly hair. I wanted to see how they'd trim him up, so it was a day of brotherhood with coffee and a cut. We walked in and within 10 minutes we were seated. My barbers name was Shane and he was really cool n laid back. Gave me some ideas on what he could do with my hair and I told him "my hair is your canvas. I trust ya." So we talked about barbershops and about memories I had growing up watching my Dad get a shave and haircut at a local barber and buying cokes out of the old vintage coke machine and then getting his shoes shined by they barber's son. It was great conversation and before I knew it I looked up and I loved what he did. Super clean cut lines, symmetrical consistency and styled it to have a look of both classic and contemporary. I was very impressed with his work. I was done and I walked over to my brother and they did a great job giving his hair a nice trim and shaping his beard. Looked much cleaner and neater than before and he was very happy with the service. Sure you can walk in to any hair salon and pay less for an avg. cut but if today's precision barbershop cut experience is a peek of what else they can do then you can bet we'll be back again. I am curious to let some of the other barbers there work with my do. Who know's what kind of new looks they can suggest, but I am sure I will be happy with them. See you soon and thank you! read more

Hands down the best barbershop in Houston and would 10/10 recommend. If you want to have your haircut by some barbers who know the current styles / trends then I would highly suggest stopping by. A lot of people might be turned off by the price ($35) for a haircut, but I think it's worth every penny...plus you get a pint! I almost thought about not giving him a shoutout because he's already hard to book, but Danny is my boy. Not only is he a top notch barber, but he is continuously crafting his skills and trying to be the best. If you want to see some of the cuts he's done I would suggest taking a look at his instagram @dannylovve read more

I used to go here once a month until I recently saw that they upped the price for regular haircuts from $30 to $35. At $30 it was already higher than what most other places were charging. These prices aren't including the tip I would usually add around $5. I really liked this place and the barbers were great, but at this price tag I'm gonna have to find another place. Edit--To Brandy, it most definitely was not. I was paying $30 at the Washington location and every time I booked online that's how much a regular haircut was. read more

Got back into growing out my beard again. And needed a place to go and have an experienced barber to clean it up. I read the reviews and thought 'Why not?' The place is a real "Guys place", the seats are vintage, and the service is great. I was immediately seated at Thomas' chair and asked if I would like a mans drink. Thomas is very engaging and makes you feel comfortable. Very easy shooting the breeze while taking care of your grooming. I will come back soon and enjoy my 30 minutes and will recommend booking with Thomas. He's personable and offers great advice. read more

Been coming here since last year. Great group of people work here and they have created a super chill atmosphere to get your haircut. They all are very skilled in barber techniques, care about hair/beard styling, and are so willing to make your hair look exactly how you want it. Always great music too. I've gotten cuts from Leo and Vincent and they have both done really great jobs. read more

I wouldn't suggest trying to book appointments with either location. Customer service is terrible. It's so bad that I didn't even get a haircut because well.....they had to cancel my apt less than a day before because Brent made a mistake with the apts. I had high hopes that I would see an awesome barber with several years of experience since I had to book my original apt over 3 weeks ago. Instead I was asked to either reschedule (3weeks later), get a cut with someone I didn't want or inconvenience myself/work to get in with another barber whom I still didn't want. Completely unprofessional and disrespectful (canceling my apt via text). Oh and Brent did nothing to render the situation, I had to email and make phone calls myself just to find all this out. I do not recommend this place. Response to management. Yes Brandy, you asked me to try and come in at 3 pm on a Friday where I explained to you that I could not leave work to ACCOMMODATE your schedule. I replied with 3 days and several times that worked for me and was told you couldn't meet any of those cause you had prior commitments and clients. To which I replied with "so you are unwilling to rearrange your schedule but expect me to? How is that fair to me?" and if I remember correctly you agreed with my statements. Lastly, we want to talk about "rude"???? How about getting told that your apt was cancelled less than 24 hours (knowing your staff is typically booked 3 weeks in advanced) and the best you could do is work me in with your Walk in person or take a 3pm on a Friday or reschedule for 3 weeks later. Ya, im going to be upset and yes, im going to tell people to figure it the Ef out because I booked my apt the correct and right way. Yall/Brent failed to be detailed and customer oriented. As I told you in our exchanged, I don't wish failure on anyone, but I hope my reviews push others to STAY AWAY FROM CUTTHROAT. In stead, go to IN THE BLACK they are awesome and really easy to deal with. read more

Horrible experience I scheduled an appointment got a confirmation email with the date and time of my appointment. Showed up and they said they had me on the schedule for a different day. Showed them my confirmation email with the time and date I was given. The response I got was I'm sorry we have no availability today it is Saturday after all. Couldn't explain how things got mixed up and didn't try to fit me in at all. Horrible customer service read more

I was looking online for a local barber that I could consistently go to. I found Cutthroat and the reviews seemed great! I booked an appointment with Alex (he was mentioned in some reviews) and he did an awesome job. The atmosphere at this location is very chill and everyone is friendly. Parking is behind the building and it wasn't too bad to find a spot. If you are in need of a barber, definitely try Cutthroat on Washington Avenue. Book an appointment with Alex, he's dope! read more

Finally found a reliable place since moving to Houston. It's a hipster place if I eve saw one, but people are really friendly. I always go with Alex, but I'm sure everyone else is good too. By appointment only, so reviews that complain by no walk-ins, I mean... it is what it is, just plan ahead. read more

Went to Cutthroat a few days ago. Best haircut I've had in Houston. Nas hooked it up. I definitely recommend him.

Just got a haircut from Leo and this guy had me walking out of the door feeing like a million dollars. He's got incredible attention to detail and gave me what might be the best cut I've ever had in my life. 10 stars, will definitely be back! read more

Got legitimately the best cut here even though I had no idea what I wanted when I walked in the door. Rico hooked it up with something ultra modern and I'm just astounded at the difference a great hairstyle makes. The discussion was cathartic and thought-provoking. Felt like we had been friends for years. I doubt I'll get a haircut from anywhere else again as long as I live in H-Town. This place is the real deal! read more

Update: The owner of the shop messaged me saying I could come back in for a free cut to get my hair fixed up. Moved up to the Midwest about a week after the cut so I can't go back, but I gave +1 star for the very professional response. As the 2-star rating so aptly describes: meh. The Good: The atmosphere is cool. Its hipster, in a tattoo and motorcycle kind of way. The Bad: My haircut. It the first haircut I've had in years where I was actually dissatisfied with it. I get my hair cut at lots of different places, so that's probably 10 stylists where I've found my hair to be somewhere between acceptable and very good. I would call what I have now 'not bad' (in that "it's definitely not good" kind of way). The whole think felt like a rush job; it took maybe 20 minutes, I wasn't even walked the 20 feet to the counter afterwards. Consequently, the whole looks looks amateurish at best and like a child cut it at worst. The right side around my ear was horrible. Had to trim a missed spot, sideburns were noticeably uneven... even despite all of that I feel like my bangs were cut in such a way that they only sit right with wax in them, which is not something I do. I would describe myself generally unenthused about all this. The Ugly: All this for $35 BEFORE the tip. Didn't even get a hair wash. I would value my haircut at about $17, have to assume the rest of the cost goes into the cool decor. Overall: Would not recommend. read more

I'm not sure what was up today with my barber but Victor acted hostile. Just bad service and/or bad haircut I would be a little annoyed, but this guy acted rushed and not only was I a bother but that I personally offended him somehow. At the end he shoved a mirror in my face and said "hold this". Couldn't wait to get out of his chair. All the other barbers seemed to be friendly and the customers seemed happy. On top of service the haircut was great clips/ sports clips level for a high end price. I'll have to go somewhere else to have my hair fixed and where I'm at least tolerated as a customer. read more
