Still the best..... IMHO .... Since 1985 .. Oh the wonderful history of this place. Luis is keeping the LONG history alive in a place where so many stories have been told, many by me...... Times are tuff .... The city of Austin makes it so hard for small busines to simply survive.... The work LUIS put in to transform and keep appearance clean and the HOT WHEELS for small kids is, wonderful, and it shows. I love the pay in CA$H get a discount... LUIS has won me over, BIG TIME. He put's up with me, and that is a real friend, and excellent barber. SUPER DUPER ......! read more

Amazing service and talented barbers. Great conversation and skilled shop. They even gave me a nickname... Go Gonzaga!! Highly recommend! My shop in Austin read more

We were looking for a last minute cut on a Saturday morning for our 5 year old and found this spot hidden away right in our neighborhood. We walked in and were greeted by Luis, who confirmed that not only do they offer kids cuts, they even give a hot wheel car as an incentive to sit still. Luis did such a great job not only with the cut, but communication with our little guy as well. Thank you Luis! read more

Over priced haircut, don't believe a word Luis says. He's petty and cheap! There's better barber shop out there!

Great Barbershop, I've given them a good 8 or 9 visits now. I've never regretted coming in. The haircut is solid every time. Inside is clean, traditional, well lit. There is reading material, light music or sports talk on the airwaves. Low chatter of conversation. It's a walk in shop so no pressure to make and keep appointments. The haircut price is perfect, and well within budget. P.S. Kids cut, they get a Hotwheel when they're done read more

Nice little hidden barbershop. I walked in around 5pm on a Friday and only had to wait around 10 minutes. These guys are pros with the clippers, something that has been hard to find in Austin. I'll definitely be coming back soon! Tip: bring cash, otherwise you'll have to pay a fee to use a credit card. read more

It is a great place to get a haircut and everyone there is very friendly. Recommend to make An appointment before going. read more

This place is a breath of fresh air. Friendly staff, quality hair cuts, a blast from the past. There's nothing hurried about the experience. I went in for the first time after a couple of my friends raved about their experience. Luis gave me the best cut I've had in years for half of what I usually pay. Can't recommend this place highly enough. read more

Luis' Corner Barber Shop - Barbers Near Me - Austin, Texas

Best place to get a haircut. You feel like home and everyone is welcoming . Luis is awesome .

Great shop - better people - all welcome - no pretense- proud customer for almost ten yrs

In town from NY and I desperately needed haircut. I checked out Yelp (as I do whenever I am in a new city). I liked the reviews, so I went in for a cut. The place is exactly what I hope for in a barbershop; it LOOKS like a barbership - not some overdone salon that's TRYING to be a barbershop. I got a friendly greeting when I walked in the door and sat down for my wait; about an hour - which was perfect. The barbers were friendly, chatted with customers and everyone got out of the chairs with a good cut. Luis, the owner, cut my hair. He did a great job, was super friendly and offered me some recommendations for dinner (and his card in case I forgot the names - #Awesome). My cut took about 15 min and was exactly what I asked for. $20 + tip and I walked out happy (FYI - There's a $1 service charge for credit cards). read more

This is the best barbershop here in the Austin area. Everyone is friendly and very nice! They trim very precise and exactly how you want it! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone! Keep it up guys! Cheers, read more

So glad I found this barbershop! My 6 year old needed a haircut and he wanted something so specific. The barbers at Luis' worked together to get my son what he wanted. They are patient and it is such a comfortable atmosphere. The barber took his time and did a great job! I will def be coming back. Did I mention a kids cut is 15$? That's a win!!! Next time I will be bringing cash, the credit card fee is $5 which could had just been more tip for our barber! Next time I know! read more

A Real Family Barber shop does exist. Great barbers in here that are too funny. My family moved to Austin a year ago and for months looked for a good reliable barber then out of no where was this gem! Real professional old school barbers! They always get me and my sons fades perfect every time! read more

Went in for my first post-vaccine beard trim in a year - Luis did a wonderful job, and the rest of the barbers were jovial and welcoming. Classic neighborhood barbershop full of conversation and camaraderie. The prices are just right too. I used to go to Bird's cause it was cheap - but will visit Luis' Corner every month from now on, because it's good. A true North Austin hidden gem. Note: bring cash! There's a $5 credit card fee to cover merchant services, but there's an ATM right down the road. read more

Not my normal barber. They are on vacation so I had to improvise and personally had a bad experience. On my initial walk up to the shop it was not very welcoming. I was not greeted like a normal shop would. I sat in the front of the shop waiting to get a haircut. Ended up leaving with next to no communication with the barbers there. read more

I've had the pleasure of going to Luis' Corner Barber Shop for close to a year now and I've yet to receive anything but stellar service. I've been cut by both Mario and Luis, and they both are very masterful at what they do. They're able to understand exactly what you ask for and execute at a high level. Not to mention they give fantastic fades, a staple of a good barber shop. To top it all off, everyone is friendly and welcoming from the moment you step into the store until you're walking out looking fresh! I've seen everyone from ages 5 to 65 walk in, and walk out with huge smiles drawn across their face. I couldn't recommend this barbershop any more! read more

One Saturday we roll up "oh sorry we're closing early for an event". No sign on the door to stop me from thinking I was getting a cut. Today they're just not open, sign says they close at 4, it's not 4. Won't be coming through a third time that's for sure. read more

We are new to the area and needed a barber shop for our son. We found this place on Yelp. As soon as we walked in we were greeted with incredible professionalism. This has an old-school barber shop and a deep sense of community feel. Reese cut our son's hair. Not only did he take his time listening to what our son wanted, he also did excellent cut. Really loved how Reese engaged our 10 year old son in conversation. We will definitely return, and highly recommend this shop! read more

BEST place to get a haircut! Highly recommend going here. Every time I get a cut by Luis, he does an amazing fade with perfect lines that blend into my beard. Great prices! Highly recommended! read more

I'm getting married this weekend, and haven't had a barber since I moved down here to Austin. Stopped in and met Rome. No wait and Gave me a super clean cut, very professional guy. I definitely recommends these guys and will be back myself for sure. Rome does a mean fade! read more

Hours state 4:00pm but asked me to leave at 3:30 since they were busy. This has happened multiple times. Make your timings 3:30 in that case. Luis the owner does not know customer satisfaction. Bad parking. Good barbers just wack hours. read more

Stopped in today for a cut from Sam. Got exactly what I was looking for. Sam and Lou are friendly and easy to talk to. Will be back here for sure. read more

A truly old school barbershop where everyone who stops in is a friend, whether it's your first visit or your hundredth. Call ahead for an appointment with Luis or walk-in and have Art, Ray or Adam give you a cut. They will all have you leaving looking great, and your cut will still look great tomorrow, next week, and until you come back for your next cut. Free wi-fi, always good music in the background and even better conversation, covering any and all topics. read more

I've been coming here for a while, long before it's current iteration as Luis' Corner Barber Shop. When Luis took over, I was a slightly skeptical because Gus, the previous owner, cut my hair so well for so long. Just so you know, I have to get my hair cut every other Friday or else I look like an unkempt Chia Pet so to me, barbers are right up there with the std clinic and liquor stores as far as important services. My skepticism was realized the first time Luis cut my hair because he left me looking like one of Edward Scissorhand's shrubs if ever he'd had a seizure while doing yard work. The phrase 'Butcher of Baghdad' came to mind. It's $13 for a cut, $6 for a shampoo and after that haircut I was tempted to ask how much for a full decapitation so I could completely start over. But alas, Luis felt terrible about it and in all honesty, I blame myself for not communicating my wishes more clearly. I mean, how was he supposed to know my mullett is supposed to transition smoothly into a rat-tail (kidding) All water under the bridge....especially since my hair was practically all grown back by the next business day. I'm telling you, it's one of those GOOD problems to have. On my next visit and every visit thereafter, Luis has still never forgiven himself for that first cut and has always delivered impeccable service. This guy really takes pride in his work and it sincerely matters to him that his customers are treated with courtesy and leave satisfied. He knows mostly everyone on a first name basis and if you're a first time customer, he'll get to know yours, as well. The atmosphere sometimes is just as amusing as whatever old TV show he has playing on his TV (usually Andy Griffith or one time he was watching 'Deliverance.' I'm telling you, this is an authentic old school barbershop). There's usually a mix of waiting customers that consist of DPS Officers sitting right next to the guys they're trying to apprehend outside the shop doors. Kind of surreal. I'll never forget one customer being in the chair and upon completion of his haircut, getting the customary neck massage from the other barber, Gabriel. Luis asked him a question and he said, 'not now Luis, I'm having a sexual experience over here.' I'm certain he didn't intend for it to come out that way, but Gabriel didn't miss a beat and deadpanned, 'I'll get the mop." DPS Troopers and criminals alike all fell about the joint. That's just the kind of place it is. One last thought, if you're serious about supporting local, small businesses and you're in the area and need a good cut for yourself or your kids, do yourself a favor and go see Luis. He is the epitome of a small Austin business just trying to make it and he doesn't take any of his customers or their satisfaction for granted. I'm truly rooting for the guy... read more

So, after a long, dirty day of working outside, my brother and I decided that we needed to get ourselves looking tip-top, and so on a friend's recommendation, we drove on down the road to the Corner Barber Shop. We showed up at quarter to 4 on a Saturday, and were told that although the shop officially shuts down at 4pm, the they would stay open to give us the cuts we desired. Luis, the new owner, might have actually only thought that my brother wanted a cut, a fade, which he did deftly and with great precision. He suppressed his surprise that I wanted a "fade" as well, then listened to my description of what I wanted, and then gently informed me that what I really wanted was a "taper". Then he went to town, using a little artistic license and a lot of finesse, along the way chuckling that he never cuts females' hair and that his wife would get a kick out of the fact that he did. He even lathered and shaved my neck- with a STRAIGHT RAZOR. The result- a gorgeous cut, totally tight, and yet not so bull-dagger dykey that I'll be frightening clients. I will 100% be back. After staying an hour late on a Saturday, we were charged an shocking $26 (for TWO cuts!!!), which we subsidized heavily with tippage. Best damned crew-cut in town. read more

Every man with a head of hair needs a good barber. It took me a long time to find my barber shop in Austin, but here it is - Luis' Corner Barber Shop. This is the kind of barber shop I grew up with: no frills, low price, quality barbers. Really, $15 for a haircut is about as low as you can ask for in the city. But what you get for the price is what's most important. Luis, Gabriel, and Raymond take care of their clients and are not just looking to cut and dump customers (you will see this at some barber shops). The décor at Luis' Corner Barber Shop is fitting. Black and white photos of old Austin are above the mirror, and the barber chairs are classics: comfortable and damn heavy looking. And if you're looking for some conversation while getting your cut, the fellas here are happy to oblige. The one complaint I can see people having is a long wait time if there's a full house. Since these barbers take pride in their work, they don't rush haircuts. Personally, I don't mind waiting for quality. But I also tend to pop-in during off-hours, which is most convenient for me. Even if Luis' Corner Barber Shop is not conveniently located next to your home or place of business, I'd still recommend checking it out. I'd trust any of these barbers with my next haircut. read more

UPDATE: New ownership :( Jimmy had some health problems and sold the place. They new owners now accept credit cards, which is a plus, but they also raised the prices! Still not a bad place for a cut (Liz is especially good - she worked at the Camp Mabry barber for years), but no longer a 5-star experience. Best place by far for a cheap quick haircut. You even get the straight razor treatment! Jimmy is the bomb. read more

Went today for the first time, and it's the best haircut I've had in a while. Luis cut my hair. You can't beat this place. $15 for a great haircut, straight razor on the edges, an eyebrow cleanup, and a neck & shoulder massage. The guys obviously have a good rapport with their clients, too... Because when I Luis where I worked, he knew several of my coworkers by name. I'll definitely be going back for a second cut. read more

I constantly recommend this place to all of my gentlemen friends. Gabriel has completely revised my idea of what a barber is. He is passionate, knowledgeable and proud of his art, and incredibly good at it. If you are into classic "Mad Men"- type haircuts, Gabriel is your man. I also VERY much recommend letting him treat you to a hot towel straight razor shave. It changed my life. While Gabriel is my favorite barber on earth, I've had my hair cut by all the guys at The Corner, and I've always walked out happy. This is one of those special places that just don't exist much anymore, and I will be taking my son here for his haircuts as soon as he's old enough. read more

Luis' Corner Barber Shop - Took our baby boy here for his very first haircut. That's how much we love these guys! - Barbers Near Me - Austin, Texas

This place is great. I recently moved to Austin mid last year and this place has been my go-to since then. Everyone here is really nice and genuine in addition to their quality cuts. I usually go in the middle of the week during the day so it really isn't too busy. The longest I had to wait was around 25 mins which isn't too bad. This is the type of place where they make an effort to learn your name which really goes a long way in my book. All of the barbers here are great, all of my haircuts here have been awesome. No complaints, great spot overall. Haircuts are 20$. read more

This is where you go to get your hair cut if you want to go to a real, actual barber shop. There isn't any of this foofy-doofy upsaling of shampoo/voluminizing products like Sport Clips or Quick Cuts or some BS and you won't walk out of the shop with a divot in your head. It's not hipstery like Bird's. The three gentlemen that make up the current barber staff (Luis, Raymond, and Gabriel) have all given me many excellent cuts apiece, and I can't say I've ever walked away unsatisfied. One strange time, my hair decided to stick out on top several days after my cut. I went back in and it was touched up perfectly and for free. As a man, this is a man's barbershop. Expect scintillating conversation on all topics of possible interest. Expect excellent amusing point-counterpoint between Raymond and Gabriel. Expect chest-beating, rip-roaring, sweaty, swearing, badass manliness in every moment. Expect the kind of stuff that happens in this clip from Gran Torino: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXD8yOxIPB0 One of my favorite touches that you absolutely will not find in low-end barbershops or salons is the straight shave on the neck after the cut. These boys will pull out their blades and strop them two seconds before cleaning up the back and around the ears. The result is a super close shave on the areas that start to come back surprisingly fast if you have a barber who just cleans up with their clippers. Additionally, they'll do an actual straight shave, which unfortunately I have never had the pleasure of experiencing here. After the cut and neck clean-up, each barber has a shoulder massager device that's a real pleasure after a long day and a haircut. Luis' has WiFi, accepts credit cards, provides the most consistently excellent haircuts I've ever experienced, and will continue to be a hallowed ground of hair-cuttery as long as these gentlemen are in command. I really would like to have some bad things to say about this place to make my review seem more unbiased, but the truth is, there simply aren't any. read more

Every hair cut I've had here was terrible. Missed spots, poor quality, lack of attention, not to mention completely ignoring what I asked for and basically shaving my head. Both times I've given this place a shot, I regretted it. It's only gone from bad to worse. Avoid this place like the plague read more

Chris lopez is the truth . First time in the shop I'm very picky with my hair cuz it's long and I don't trust many people with it . Chris gave me exactly what I wanted . This guy know what he is doing also very friendly atmosphere the other barbers are cool and funny and make you feel welcomed I would highly recommend this place to anyone! read more

I have been going to Louis for about a year now. The first time I sat in his chair I was SOLD on his professionalism, precision, and the absoulute quality of his service, and work. The shop is AWESOME with a small town attitude and atmosphere! When I walk in the door he always calls me by name, like I was walking into his home. I also really dig the fact that most times when I stop in that Louis Harley is parked outside! Several months ago I walked in late on a Saturday for a haircut. Louis was backed up, so I had the HONOR of getting my hair cut by Gabe. This guy is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! He can make a rag doll look like Rock Hudson! There is always friendly banter, good conversation, great music, and I always walk out of there feeling appreciated. I was thery yesterday (Thursday) for a haircut after being on a backpacking trip for the last 2 weeks. Needless to say I was lookin pretty scruffy and rough. I climbed into Gabe's chair, and got a haircut, straight razor shave, shoulder massage, a few laughs (Louis was on a roll), good conversation, and left looking good, feeling good, and smellin good. And to top it all off, the price was right. 28 bucks!!!!! YOU GUYS ROCK. Thank you!!! read more

I drove from Dallas to Austin for a morning audition and got to the area just in the nick of time due to heavy rains throughout the drive. When I got to the area, there were no hotels to for me to use to change etc. I needed somewhere to spruce up and saw Luis' Barber Shop. Luis was very gracious and let me come in to fix my hair and make up. Many many thanks! read more

Everyday is a bad hair day now... So i asked for the same kind of haircut i have asked for at dozens of barber shops in the last two decades and he saw how my hair was styled when i walked in. What made him think that i wanted a completely shaved head besides for a tiny 2" x 2" mohawk in the front center of my head, just big enough to tee up a golf ball is besides me...further, i specifically said that the hair had to be long enough to style up with hair gel...the golf tee box isn't long enough for even that. It sucks, i am in front of people all day and i have gotten some weird looks...i am considering a wig or just shaving the whole thing. Maybe I'll put a small yellow flag on the back of my head with a tiny number 18. read more

Very nice on my first visit. I get haircuts maybe every three months, so I desperately needed a full-on follicle reduction. Chris did an excellent job. I am no fashionista, and I have a hard time explaining what I'm looking for⁠--just make it shorter! but not like I'm a marine! Chris knew exactly what to do. Luis' is an old-school place, and that's to its credit. They don't waste their money on a high-tech online appointment system, a beer fridge, and a stupid "pre-prohibition vibe" that leaves anyone over the mental age of 19 wanting to strangle a hipster. At the same time, it's not some hook-em-horns brofest where you get pumped for a night of hard seltzer and hitting on women who knew you were worthless before you even opened your mouth. In fact, Luis' is nothing more, and nothing less, than a clean, friendly, no-fuss barber shop. Walk in and a get yourself a solid cut at a reasonable price. read more

Great traditional barber shop that offers quality, service oriented customer care. These professionals truly embody the values of a dying art. See these fine gentlemen for a well done haircut, a beard trim or a painstakingly comforting hot foam shave. Kudos to Adam who has taken such great care of me my last two visits. I have noticed that the have a fiercely loyal clientele and that speaks to the care of their customers. I'm glad I found this gem! read more

This place seems good, the atmosphere is very welcoming and they are all friendly. Prices are pretty standard 20 bucks for a cut. Bring cash they do charge 5 bucks for using your card. Other than that they offer a massage too at the end. I would bring my son back he liked his Mohawk. read more
