This place is really, really good for a haircut. Yes, it's expensive. Yes, you probably won't do as good of a job maintaining your hairstyle so it won't look quite as nice in the weeks after you get the haircut. No, those shouldn't discourage you from allowing these fine people to literally chop off one of the only body parts that it is really acceptable to do so. The haircut I got here was incredible quality, the people were nice and very friendly, and the atmosphere was cool. If you're getting a crew cut, you probably don't need to come here, but if you actually want a hairstyle, then you need to be here. The only issue I had is that in my office, my hairstyle is kind of radical - I work in a very traditional office. When I walked in here, I felt very conservative. The people here have super cool haircuts so if your ego can't handle being the least interesting person in the room, then maybe you should get your mom to cut your hair. 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

Called in yesterday and they were able to get me in today, even though they were at capacity. They did a very good job, and the atmosphere was very calm and welcoming, despite the fact that we're in a pandemic. They pay very close attention to detail, and it shows in their work. Would definitely recommend. read more

One of my top two in town. Here or argyle league. Both are pricey but worth it. Great coffee shop next to the Washington location. I would call ahead so you don't have to wait, if you do go next door the Catalina has some of the best coffee in town. Don't have a particular barber here but everyone I've been to has been world class. If you want a badass haircut in Houston don't go anywhere but here or argyle. read more

This place JUST opened and I foresee wonderful things. Brandy (who is one of owners) and her business partner are stylist/barbers from Roots in Montrose. They did a great job with the place - vintage barber chairs, minimal but clean decoration and on a very accessible part of Washington Avenue Brandy cut Matt's hair and trimmed his beard - I think he and I would both agree this was the best cut he's had in 2 years. $35 for the cut and $10 for the beard trim. I know he'll be back. This place makes me wish I had a beard :/ A++ read more

I had the unfortunate experience of a straight razor shave at this joint. It was probably a bad omen when I realized that the guy doing my shave looks like he has so little facial hair that he doesn't need to shave himself at all (whereas I have extremely heavy facial hair). I have had several straight razor shaves in my life, and no other has been nearly this painful. The main and most obvious problem is that the razor was dull. I didn't see a strop in this place. Do they sharpen their razors or what? There were various other problems involving the shaving techniques used by my barber. For example, I was unaware that one is supposed to wipe the shaving cream off before running the blade across the skin! Each whisker cut felt like it was being pulled out with tweezers. My face was irritated for a week after this shave. And by the way, I showed up early, and my shave started about 25 minutes after the appointed time. I gave 2 stars instead of one because It appeared that others were being given good service, and the atmosphere is cool. Also, my barber was nice enough but simply incompetent to perform a straight razor shave. read more

I've gotten my haircut by my friend Cisco for the past 3 years almost. He's a licensed barber but worked out of his apt while looking for a shop to call his own. Unfortunately for me, he was hired by a modern, manly shop in Austin. Apparently, the owner of his shop used to work at Cutthroat. Naturally, he recommended i check this place out. This isn't your typical $15 hair cut so don't come looking for that. $35 for a cut, but well worth it. Each visit is accompanied by a complimentary 8th Wonder beer. I had a great experience there. Unfortunately, the barber who cut my hair is moving to their new location in the East End. I don't think I'll be following home because my job is right down the street from the original Cutthroat. And for the guys complaining about straight razor shaves - the blades are more likely to cut through your skin, do you really want these guys to try to sanitize something that may have cut another man? Maybe you can buy your own razor and see if your barber will provide the service with it. Just an idea. read more

This place just opened a few months ago and I hope they do really well! "Manly grooming for manly men" Cool atmosphere, variety of services including shampoo, cut, beard trim, 30 minute old style shave, etc. Brandy cut my husbands hair and she did an awesome job. A little more expensive than chain haircut places, but definitely worth it. Will be a repeat customer for sure. Support this locally owned and operated business in Old Sixth Ward! read more

I heard about this place from a high school friend and i decided to give them a shot. It was a bit of a drive for me since i live up near the Spring/Woodlands area, but on a good day I can get there in 30 minutes or less. I was recommended by my friend to call in and make an appointment, but they do take walk-ins. You should call in for an appointment if you plan on coming in, the wait can span from a couple of minutes to hours depending on the time and day. Walked in and I immediately fell in love with the place and atmosphere. The building has a rustic/hipster/loft kind of vibe to it. They always have music playing, ranging from old school hip-hop, to hipster/indie bands, to old and timeless classics. The staff there was very friendly, they greeted me when i came in and are very open to conversation. They also offered beer to those waiting for their barber! I sat down in Juan's chair. A very friendly and chill guy. We first talked about my hair because i was not sure if he was familiar with cutting Asian hair, which is known to be very thick and coarse. He gave me a really good consultation and we decided on a comb over with a hard line and a hi-top skin fade. I was very impressed on how he handled my hair. He also showed me how to get it done in the morning. I did knock a star off due to the fact they charged $35 for a cut, which for me is a bit on the pricey side. I also picked up a can of pomade for $17, so in total i paid $52. Overall I was very impressed by this barber shop. I would most definitely recommend this barbershop to anyone looking for a premium hair cut. The barbers here at Cutthroat are very friendly, have top-notch skills, and are very passionate and take pride in their craft. read more

Went in on my day off to grab a quick cut. I recently moved from the east coast where I had my go to barber every time i needed a cut. I checked out the yelp reviews here and was referred by a friend to go and check this place out. certainly was not disappointed, didn't have an appointment but they squeezed me in with ryan before his next appointment. he asked what kind of cut I wanted and even talked me through how he was going to cut it. he spent a generous amount of time trimming and cutting even though he had his next appointment waiting. he continued to keep up conversation and make me feel at home, even offered me a beer out of their own beer tapped fridge. after the cut he used pomade to style my hair and gave me some good recommendations on types of pomade to buy. after finishing my cut he gave me his business card and told me to come back for my next cut. the price was a bit expensive, but you get what you pay for. i look forward to going back to get my next haircut at cutthroat. read more

I've been wanting to check out Cutthroat for some time. I made an appointment for a Friday afternoon a couple days in advance, then I received a voice message saying that my barber will be doing a pop-up at The Classroom in Montrose. Which was no big deal to me, I mess with TCR and it's a 10-15 minute drive from downtown, and a little closer to home. When I got there, there was one barber who I assumed I was scheduled for. After some back and forth, I find out that the barber scheduled to cut my hair was out of town and I wouldn't be able to get cut until another 1.5 hrs. I called back Cutthroat, spoke to Brandy, and told them about the situation. She scheduled me for the following morning and comped me entirely. The cut itself was great, Brandy knew exactly what to do with minimal instruction. I felt terrible that I didn't have cash to tip her, told me to just get her next time. The shop had a great feel to it, classic feel with a modern touch. Music selection was great, ASAP Rocky was on when I was on the chair. Overall, a great experience and will be returning. read more

Danny was awesome! Really knows and cares about hair, but also does a great job if you don't go with it.

Cutthroat is definitely an excellent Barber's shop. I've been here twice and would recommend anyone to visit at least once. I've tried a partial shave and haircut and have walked out both times happier than when I walked in. It is also the most expensive place I have had a haircut. I typically go to Chinatown for my haircuts and they are a third of the cost - including hair washing. I would recommend Cutthroat for a haircut once or twice a year. It's a great place with excellent service, but definitely expensive. read more

I cut my own hair. Fade and everything. After 2 months of being asked where I go to get the cleanest fade. And a hair wash this is it.

Pretty legit little place. Brandy cut my hair as a walk-in and she did me right. The energy is very laid back and the DJ had Mos Def on spotify. I felt like I was back home with the boys at the shop. Thx guys! read more

Cutthroat - Loft/Rustic design, chill vibe - Barbers Near Me - Houston, Texas

This place is just awesome with its customer service alone. Beer while you wait and you always have some sort of jams on the old school record player- today's catch of the day was Trap Rap. Now the hair cuts- I had my hair cut by Shane. First off I'm from NY - the Mecca of A1 Barbers. Shane did an excellent job. Told him I wanted a 1 faded to the top and he suggested a few other things to better blend the top. To say the very least, Shane hit it out of the park! read more

Great first experience. Leo did an amazing job. Best fade and cut I've ever had. Will for sure go back to see him again.

Totally inept I explained what I wanted and they didn't get it. So I even showed them a picture of my last haircut in the hope to make things more clear, but nothing changed. If you can't see for yourself the difference between what you do and...Più read more

Moved to Houston not to long ago and decided to give this place a try. Did not disappoint! I didn't know you had to make appointments at least three days in advanced when I walked in there (yeah, they're that good). Awesome vibe and people. Was lucky to walk in and one of guys had just gotten someone canceled and the receptionist was kind enough to fit me in. I got done by Carlos. Real cool guy and most importantly very professional. Definitely coming back in the future. read more

Went here based on a recommendation and haven't ventured anywhere else since. The drive from Katy may be far but it's worth the trip for quality. All chairs are manned by tatted up beasts with clippers who know their stuff. Vibe is always chill and laid back and the conversation light like a true barbershop. Take a leap of faith and get cut up by the best in the biz. #SoFreshSoCleanClean read more

I have a wedding coming up and I've been search high and low for a great barbershop. Finally!! One was found. Brenda was very informative and helped guide me to making a great decision on a haircut for my upcoming wedding. The only downside was that I didn't realize I could have gotten a drink while waiting. That would have been the cherry-on-top for my experience here. Over all: clean cut, great people, parking, and experience. I'd definitely come back for my next haircut. read more

Best barber shop in Houston!! Very welcoming and well trained/ caring staff. I was offered a drink upon arrival and waited less than a minute before I was in the chair! I will be returning for another cut very soon. It was very affordable! read more

First and foremost this shop is definitely not your dad's barber shop. Modern take on an old school feel. I came in today to get my haircut and beard trimmed cause of work. I was impressed just by walking in and see myself surrounded by people of similar features. Danny was the guy I got and Danny is the man. Listened to everything I had to say. I also liked the fact that my hair was long enough they making sure if I wanted to cut it all off or just a trim. Unfortunately I had to cut it all off. Definitely going back to see danny. I would give you guys 5 stars but 8th Wonder beer was all taped out read more

The haircut was mediocre at best, I was expecting at lot more out of this hipster place.

I've been going to Cutthroat since they opened. The music is always great, they offer beer while you wait, and I really enjoy the atmosphere. Brandy has usually cut my hair and always does a great job. You can tell she cares about the quality of her work and really enjoys what she does. That definitely goes for all of the other barbers who work at this place as well. I've had my hair cut by nearly everyone there by now, and I trust that I'm always going to be satisfied with my hair when I walk out. I highly recommend making Cutthroat your barbershop. read more

Ive had my own barber for years but recently decided to try something different...well....im never going back now! Rigo gave me the best haircut of my life! Yall need to ask for RIGO!!!!! the other people there looked like they knew exactly what they were doing too read more

Danny is the man... found my barbershop and more importantly my barber. Chill people and rap banging in the background. A true Houston barbershop read more

The good folks at Reserve Supply, the skate shop / boutique right next door, had told me about the opening of a new barbershop a few months ago. I've been pretty stoked about trying this place out for a while. Now that I've been here three times, it's finally time for a review. One thing that sets this place apart from other OG barbers like Big Kats = reservations. This place is perfect if you have a 9 to 5 job and can't afford to wait for a long time on weekends. Haircut. The folks here are super skilled. I think I've gotten one of the best haircuts ever. The guys here can give you all the "trendy" cuts like undercut, pomps, and fades. I'm Asian. It's really hard to find a spot that can cut Asian hair. I've always been going to Asian hair salons. I was pretty wary about going to an "all-American" barber. This place kinda blew me away. Brandy does my hair. She's really good. One word of caution, I guess. I wouldn't recommend this place if you have aversion to "hipsters." Price: Much more expensive than your usual barber. A normal cut will set you back $35. Takes credit cards via Square. Space: Really cool atmosphere. Industrial meets oldies? Hard-to-find specialty hair products. They stock merchandise from Uppercut and Baxter of California. Parking: Don't park on Washington. There are two free lots in the back. One behind the building. One across from the main lot. Coming here is kind of a treat for me. Grab a coffee from Catalina. Get a new cut. Check out cool gear at Reserve. Anyway, this place is totally awesome and you should def. check it out. read more

First time going best experience ever! Danny Lovve definitely exceeded my expectations got the cut I wanted and even got tips to style my hair! Will definitely be going back happy to say I finally found my Barber. read more

Walked in 20 minutes before closing, and they refused service. Let's just say the wasted trip was enough to lead me back to Raymond's Barber Shop located down the street, which has always given me a quality cut. read more

They advertise "Child's Cuts" on their website and on their price list that is hanging in the shop, however the last time I took my 8-year old son in for his cut they played hard-core rap music the entire time with copious amounts of profanity and inappropriate language. I kept thinking they would realize there was a kid around and someone would change the music, but no one seemed to notice or care. When his cut was over I quickly paid for the service and left. Guess kids are only welcome if they are hipster enough for the F-bomb. It's a shame, too, since we had been customers for a while. Now they go to Doug's. read more

My FAVORITE barbershop. Best low fade cut ever. Cool vibe with good tunes, nice people and quality work. Have since moved away from Houston, but still looking for a place to replicate Cutthroat's excellent service! read more

Place is pretty good. I forgot the name of my barber but he did an excellent job. I showed him what I wanted and he did exactly that. A lot of barbers called out due to flooding so they were short staffed but still cut my hair. I wasn't offered a drink, like they advertise, and I was half expecting a straight razor neck shave but wasn't given that either. I usually go to the Argyle League where the hair cuts are $40 as opposed to Cutthroat's $35, but they give you the neck shave, complimentary drink, and a complimentary trim before your next cut... all on top of great service. I would go back to Cutthroat's again but would choose Argyle League over them for my go-to place. Overall not bad but doesn't give you everything that their competitors do for a few bucks more. read more

Nice people, bad overpriced cuts. The barber textured my hair so heavily that a month later, I still have an almost bald spot on the top of my head. The rest of the cut was terribly uneven. Had to have it fixed elsewhere. read more

I moved here from Los Angeles Ca in October and havent had a good haircut since. Its been really tough finding a good barbershop. Finally I decided to try cutthroat since im not used to paying 35 bucks for a haircut but man it was so worth it. I FINALLY got a good haircut again. The place looks vintage and plays good music. I got my haircut from Carlos, he took me in as a walk and introduced himself and was very professional and gave me the exact style i asked for. I highly recommend him and the shop itself. Great craft. read more

Moved to Houston and couldn't find a good place for haircuts. After going to a bunch of different places I went to cut throat. Now it is the only place I will go. I have never been disappointed by any of the barbers. It's worth the 30 minute drive hands down. read more

Old School Barbershop, with a modern flare. These folks do a great job on a shave and head shave.

And in answer to the reply from said desk gal: my experience has been to call and attempt appointments with them on wknds, when I happen to be in town (I travel every week for business in and out of the country), and invariably they're booked. When I decided finally to go online and try that, I inadvertently booked the wrong date. But who can blame a busy professional? I'm not writing the above information as a reaction to my mis-scheduled appointment. That was my fault. My experience described above is totally true and the triviality of said desk gal's reply further demonstrates their concerted effort to engineer an experience that is unequal to the actuality. I left Friday evening not in annoyance at them, but at myself. And the line out the door of folks who probably had arrived on time for appointments, but were still waiting at 6:05 pm demonstrates more than I ever could the inevitability of delays to your overly anticipated cut. Thanks for the reply, though. But don't think you're going to paint me into a liar. I'm not. If I were inclined to be fallacious and petty, I'd have said the haircut sucked. I got a great cut, but the entire point of my review has more to do with the overall experience, which is at least half of what you're selling. read more

Got my haircut with Aidee and easily one of the best haircuts I've ever had. There is a reason this place is always busy and has such great reviews. If you go here, you can be confident that you will get a quality haircut every time. Do yourself a favor and just book an appointment. You won't regret it. read more

It was my first time coming to this barber shop and John did a great job cutting my hair. He offered me a beer as I sat down and we had a quick consultation about what I wanted done. You can tell he takes pride in his work and took his time. I appreciated that he stopped along the way to get my approval before moving forward instead of other places that cut and ask if that was okay after the fact. I'm definitely coming back for my next cut! read more
