    Mike T at East End Barber delivers a flawless fade and top-notch service. Definitely returning and highly recommended!

    Cierra is a beast! She always has me walking out feeling and looking better than when I walked in. Everyone is always super kind and welcoming. 10/10 experience

    At first, I was super nervous because nobody else has cut my hair besides my childhood stylist... but lets just say I had to cheat on him. Cierra stays killing all my cuts!! At this point, I just show up and she does her own thing. I even got people at my job trying to get the same cut as me so BOOK HER!

    I wanted my hair long at the top but they cut the back short. Also wanted a fade but didn't really get a fade.

    Line up/tape

    It's a nice clean barbershop that is ran very well. My issue was with the service itself from Mike. The fade was lacking in the back but overall to be fair I'd say it was decent enough. The BIGGEST issue was thr line up. I have NEVER, in my 38 years of life, had such an obviously crooked line up...I knew the line up was a little high and I'm not the type to overly complain, but I didn't realize HOWbad it was in the chair until I went home. My wife, who is a retired cosmetologist asked me if I paid for this and I embarrassingly did. You'd have to be blind to not see that the line up was extremely crooked and pushed up very high on the right. Again to be fair, it's a nice barbershop and Mike was professional enough - but his actual skill in a clean and even line up was very lacking. I'm not from Houston, I was visiting from another state so I'm not sure if this establishment (or who in the establishment) can cut African American hair.

    I saw the reviews on yelp, and I can see why . They have an amazing staff here . I've only been a couple of times but I will definitely makes this my new barbershop. Kevin does an amazing job !

    I went here for about 4 months because prices had gone down significantly after them being associated with Cutthroat. Was about to make my next appointment and they are almost back at what the previous price was. One of the main guys there was cutting my hair and told me he story why they were not with cutthroat any more. One of those reasons were the price was to high for a hair cut. I guess they care about that any more. Back to Katsbarber shop for me $20.00.

    Splotchy, uneven line.

    I was looking for a place to get a cut near work, this place came recommended from friends and I went to East End Barber twice and was unimpressed both times. First, the Good: The barber's I had both times were cool, nice guys. The taste in music is great. Good vibe there like everyone knows each other. They offer beer or coffee when you walk in. The Bad: Both times I had an appointment and still had to wait around 20 minutes. Both times I felt rushed and left with my ears, neck, and shirt covered in small pieces of hair. The second time I said no products in my hair and that I never use products in my hair and the barber lathered my head with something called suavecito cream anyway. The Ugly: The back of my head looks bad and the line is uneven. Posted a picture. The verdict: Not my worst haircut but the worst I paid $25 with a 20% tip for. I'm not going back, but my friends still each have "their guy" and keep going back. I guess only go if you're going to book one of the people named in the reviews? I have heard great things about Ryan and Bones from the friends who swear by this place. To their credit they offered me a free edge up AND haircut when I originally complained directly to them, so I made the appointment, but I was very sick day of and called in, the guy on the phone said no big deal. Today I was checking my credit card statement and they charged me $12 for not coming in that day. So I've given this place ~$75 and never got a haircut I like.

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.

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.

Alright so after the business owner responding to my initial review and being rude, I figured I would provide an update and more context for my Yelp people. Yes, I was given a $10 haircut by Danny the last time I was there. But Victor, the owner and the barber I booked the appointment with, texted me to ask for the rest of the money! So you can't reach out to let me know you can't make the appointment that I booked on your website, but you can reach out to ask for extra money? You weren't even there. I still paid $20, hopefully that money went to Danny. I want to reiterate, the first time I booked for a $50 service, and waited 30 minutes to an hour for a no show barber(Victor, the owner) on a Saturday morning. The second time was years later, he was 30 minutes late(yes I paid full price during regular business hours and it was expensive). The third time Victor never showed, called, or texted. Danny gave me a discount, but then Victor reached out to ask for the money back. Terrible business plan. Afterhours would be better off always charging $10 for a cut, or better yet, paying people to come into this sorry excuse of a barbershop. I would like to add that Danny was great and did his best to provide the level of service that Afterhours advertises. The shop is just not on that level. Danny should cut in a different shop where he can work with better coworkers and thrive in a professional environment. If Danny was the owner, this place would be much better off. Victor, hopefully you learn your lesson about how to treat customers. Instead of you providing terrible service and getting mad when customers leave accurate reviews, you should man up and take the feedback constructively and use it to make your business better. The way you are operating right now this place is doomed to fail.
