    Tagged along with my husband, he had his hair buzz trimmed and his beard trimmed. Staff was friendly and took us in right when his appointment was scheduled for, no wait time. They have comfortable couches and seating for those not getting their hair trimmed. Staff wears masks at all times and so do customers (except when getting their facial hair trimmed). The space is very open, clean and nicely decorated. My husband liked his cut and would probably come back if they had a location in our city!

    My bf came in for a haircut and a beard trim and this place was amazing! He can't stop talking/showing off his beard to me and his friends because of it. But I am so glad he found a perfect place because he had been searching around for a long time. Brandy was his person and she did such a great job in helping him out with the fade and the trim. He went in with no idea of how he envisions his style, but Brandy helped him throughout the entire appointment. The place was very nicely decorated and busy, which is expected for a popular place. He will definitely be coming back here!

    My husband went there for a haircut and it was bad. It was uneven and choppy.

    My husband went to the one on 19th and they gave him a bad haircut. He was too embarrassed to say anything so he just left. I will post a pic.

    They don't take walk-ins (as this Yelp page says they do) and they don't answer the phone. So I would recommend making sure you make an appointment before you waste your time driving to the shop like I did.

    Two words :John Velasco That's all!! Best in town hands down. I went from barber to barber for about two years until I gave in and went to Cutthroat. It's worth every penny and now John has me in a weekly routine. Confidence booster for sure.

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.

    Been coming here for years and always use the same barber, who is fantastic at what he does and…read morevery 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.

They sculpt destiny. Every snip of the scissors is a conversation between artist and canvas. I'm pretty sure I heard angels harmonizing the first time I got hit with a fade here. My wife looked at me when I got home and said "who are you?" Not because I looked different. Because I looked like the man she always hoped I'd become. Carlos built this place, and whatever dark sorcery he's teaching back there, it's working. This man has assembled an entire roster of assassins. I've sat in multiple chairs at this shop over the years, and every single one of these barbers is cut from the same legendary cloth. You could walk in blindfolded, sit in any chair, and walk out looking like you were put on this earth to be photographed. I made the catastrophic error of going somewhere else last month due to a scheduling conflict. I have never known such betrayal -- and I did it to myself. That barber cut my hair like he was mad at me. Like my head had personally wronged his family. I spent three weeks looking like a wish.com version of myself. Never again. I would drive through a hurricane to walk into this shop. I would wade through floodwaters. I would cancel a meeting with the Pope. If they relocated to the middle of the Sahara Desert, I would simply begin walking. If you are reading this and you are not already in one of their chairs, you are wasting your life. Five stars. Would give six but Yelp is a coward.

    Fantastic vibe and service!…read more I've been considering a new barber for a few weeks. I read all the great reviews as well as the not-so-great ones, and I am always impressed with leaders who take accountability for the customer experience. Ryan's comments made me feel secure in trying out the shop. Making the appointment was seamless. They use a common scheduling app called SQUIRE, and I was able to get an appointment with Ryan. The shop is aesthetically fantastic. Very old-school in design and decor, which I like. It fits perfectly in the neighborhood, which adds to the charm. The energy in the room, however, is something that I rarely see. The team and the customers are on an entirely different level of coolness than I'm used to, and the experience was terrific. Ryan and I hit it off right away in terms of him understanding what I was looking for, and he exceeded my expectations. He listens well and asks strategically good questions. The service was timely and a good value for the price paid. I was watching one of the other barbers do a masterful job on another customer, and I feel confident that whoever I see in there will make me look (reasonably) impressive!
