The barber was patient with my 4 & 6 year old autistic child, the fade was on point. Although the shop is geared to serve adult clientele, they did not turn us away and even momentarily changed the atmosphere out of respect. We will be back. read more

Great cut every time! They actually listen to what you want and give you the cut you are asking for and do it well!

Great place to get a haircut! Don't find many places that still have a hot towel and a razor shave for a clean look on your neckline. Would definitely go back again. read more

In here you get the best of both worlds; you get a GREAT haircut with AMAZING service. by far one of the best experiences in a barber shop to date. Marco is the man!! read more

Marco and Antonio are amazing! We were driving by when I saw their sign and my boys desperately needed hair cuts... with no appointment they each tackled the mess that was... my oldest (12) even got a much needed shave around the sides and both boys (12 & 7) got the hot towel treatment... now if I could only get them to pose together for a picture read more

Marco was wonderful with our son's first haircut. He let our son get used to the surroundings and the equipment and didn't rush through the cut. He said the first haircut is the "most important" and sets the scene for follow up cuts. We couldn't of asked for a better experience and the care and time he spent was more than we anticipated. With all of that the haircut came out phenomenal and our son was smiling when it was all over. Best place around!! read more

Old School Barber Shop - Tadaaa! - Barbers Near Me - Houston, Texas

Upon moving back home from NYC, for the better part of a year I couldn't find a barber that was as talented and affordable as this location. My cut is a high taper fade, straight at the bottom and about medium length on top that sort of combs over with styling mousse. I have a cowlick and my hair is super thick in the back (I hope I am not going bald) so I am particular on the cut. The example I give is with a picture of Sergio Ramos' hair to explain the concept with any new barber. "I'll make your hair look better than that!" - Marco I've come back here ever since via appointment without a hassle. I didn't have to over-explain myself like I do with other professionals. He immediately knew the deal. *Definitely beats all the wannabe locations in the Heights/Washington areas or a SuperCuts/SportsClips location any day, especially with an ice cold Modelo in hand! Pros Very personable and professional conversation (hair tips) Flexible scheduling (1-2 day notice) Straight edge razor Hot & scented towel Takes his time, yet still quick service Stocked mini-fridge with a variety of beverages Cool, calm music Cons Not much seating, but as a "Fat State" should we really be on our ass all the time? 0_o read more

Marco is the man. Great service, haircut, atmosphere, and pricing.

Awesome place, awesome service. Really busy so appointments maybe the way to go, but we were walk-ins and they still managed to fit us without us having to be there all day. I brought my three nephews ages 12 to 4 and my boys are picky about who touches their heads. However they really liked their cuts and edging. They said they wanted to go back again so we'll be back again. Reasonably priced too. Made my 4 year old nephew feel comfortable when he started getting scared of getting in the chair. Cool place. read more

Accompanied a friend to this barber shop one afternoon & felt the need to write a review on this barbershop. Although I wasn't even the one getting the haircut, Marco offered me coffee & powdered cookies while I waited! Lol. The shop is neat & clean, lots of magazines to read & a fridge full of waters & sodas for the customers. They even have a chess board game & Rubik's cubes. Your wait def won't be a boring one. A lot better than the hair salon I go to in the galleria. As far as the haircuts, my male friends cut is always nice! The atmosphere & customer service is worth stopping by in itself. read more

great service and pricing, would definitely come back and bring more people! great staff and service was fast, love the decorations and the music was great! read more

I love this place and can't wait for my next appointment. It's been over 7 weeks since my last visit. Marco and Antonio are awesome and make you feel great! Very professional get a cut and a shave. They do the entire treatment with hot and cold towels. You will feel amazing when you leave. read more

The best hair cut ever!!!! Marco is the man!!! Great service!!

Antonio made me feel very welcome and did an amazing job cutting my hair. Definitely coming back next week. 100% recommended

Antonio was fantastic! Great haircut at an affordable price. Would recommend this place 10/10.

Hands down best Barber Shop! My older son and I have been seeing these guys for 2 years now. I followed him from his other location and his new shop is very clean relaxing, has great music, and good coffee. Antonio and Marco know their products and do a super sharp Old School razor scissor cut. A year ago he talked me into a facial and literally received comments all week about how well my skinned looked. Make an appointment you won't be disappointed. read more

I am very particular about who cuts my hair and how it is done. So finding a proper barber shop has been an exhausting task. I found one in Stafford but they were hit or miss. Last week a gentleman came by to drop off a flyer for Old School Barber Shop and told me to come by. Not sure to expect I drove down the street and gave it a shot. Upon entering it's really comfortable and well laid out. Everything is clean, modern, and up to date but still has an old school barbershop feel to it. Antonio was the one who cut my hair and let me just say this gentleman is AMAZING. He got my fade perfect, my faux hawk just how I like it, and he even went the extra mile with a straight razor cleanup and hot towels to open the pores. I felt like I was treated like a king and Antonio is a master of his craft. I wanted to make sure next time I visit I got the same cut and although he said he would remember me, he took an index car with my contact information on it and filled out all the details of my cut so next time I would not have to explain my cut. It's an old school client system and honestly I think I'm going to write a web application for him to better manage his clients (I'm a software engineer), but seriously the attention to detail Antonio had was incredible. A hair cut with the full treatment was only $20. Compared to cutthroat at $35 (and horrible service at cutthroat) Old School Barber Shop is a bargain for the value you receive. If you are a man looking for an amazing cut (in any style), please go see the friendly folks at old school barber shop! They've only been open a month and need the support. Thanks so much guys for making me feel good about myself! read more

Beyond disappointed thought I found a barbershop that me and my kids can go to; made an appointment for Fri and we I get to the shop they want to tell me my appointment is for the Sat at no point was Sat ever stated. Now mistakes can be made but I know what day I scheduled for completely unprofessional for the barber to tell me I said an appointment for sat when I know I called and scheduled for Fri wish nothing but the best for the business but they lost a customer read more

Came in for a last minute walk-in and the guys here are very accommodating. They're friendly and will try to fit you in. Antonio does a great job with fades. This has me coming back every time. There's also a relaxing hot towel for your face at the end if you want it. read more

First time here, Antonio sat me on the Barber chair and took a couple mins to discuss my hair and cut options. Great hair cut and the shave was awesome, then the hot, minty towel! Excellent service, I'll see you in a couple weeks, same time! read more

Great cut, exceptional staff. Barber exemplified great pride in his work and it showed in the results. And it's two doors down from a good bakery. read more

I have been going to Antonio for over a year and he is excellent. Very amiable guy and always takes his time to make your cut the way you want it. He takes notes of your past cuts so if you want to change it up or keep it the same you have a reference point. Always offers you a complimentary neck shave with a straight razor and a hot towel. Never has he made a mistake with my hair, which is why i always come back. Haircuts will cost you $18-20, but you should really be paying more. Will continue to go to his place (it's new and very organized) and continue to call him before i show up. Check him out! He is awesome!! read more

I've been going to Antonio for well over a year now, and followed him from the shop where he used to work. Antonio's meticulous, knows what he's doing, and provides a quality haircut. What's great is that he's not all chatter, but will make you feel comfortable. He won't make a change to your hairstyle without consulting you first, and ultimately, will make suggestions on what will look good. Things I like: - Free hot towel service - Free soda or bottled water while you wait He's open now for his existing clientele, but will open on 9/1 for new clients. He did let me know today that he won't have his credit card machine up and running until mid-September though. read more

I enjoy the heck out of getting my hair cut at this place.. prices are fair and i walk out feeling mighty special!! They pamper you.. I have been getting my hair cut from Antonio since 2013... He worked at a different salon that was around the corner from my house. When he left to open his own place, i had to follow him. It's much farther from me than before, but definitley worth it!! I enjoy his cuts and his desire to to give me the best haircut possible.. occasionally, I will get a shave, just to treat myself....When i walk in, both He and Marco make me feel right at home! I look forward to many great cuts in the future!! Thanks! read more

Trash! I gave it 3 chances and unfortunately there will not be a fourth. Antonio loves to offer his opinions, but does not know how to listen. I have tried to explain how the lines in my head work and instead of listening, he counters with "the problem is" . . . The real problem is, I know my head better than you and have cut my hair for years; you should listen. You lost a customer because of your arrogance!! I can go to better places with better fades for less money! read more

Antonio has been cutting my hair for.... going on 3 years I think! I have always left his chair feeling like a million bucks. I really enjoy going to his new shop in Garden Oaks. The furniture and environment give me a good feeling. No pretentious attitudes. I'm a bit particular with what I do with my hair (which probably drives him nuts) but he is always happy to exceed my requests. He keeps up with latest trends and loves to recommend new hairstyles, I usually trust his input and I haven't been let down since. To be honest, I have had to regretfully try a different barber or two since first going to Antonio (if he wasn't working that day, or whatever the reason), but I always end up coming back to him in the end. So now I easily set an appointment and he makes sure I'll be taken care of. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone in search of a talented barber. read more

This barber shop is definitely going to be one that I will come back to. The staff here are very accommodating, and offer you many things to make your experience better, including drinks and coffee. The haircut went well except for one minor detail, I had told the man doing my haircut, Marco that I didn't want it short and that I wanted it a little long, the finished result was short. We figured out what would be best for next time! Definitely will come back despite that little flaw. Overall, it was a good haircut and I left satisfied. Marco and his crew really do a good job and make you feel at home. Definitely a barber shop you should try! read more

Excellent customer service, Good haircut (I like how they take their time on it also), Guy there name Antonio is really cool. Just give the store call for a appointment or just walk-in. I've been to a lot of barbers. But this is one of my favorites as now. ‍ read more

What a hidden gem! I stumbled across this little shop which is located in a rather nondescript strip mall. But do not let first impressions fool you! Once inside it is beautifully decorated and very clean. I was helped by Marco who was very professional and talented. I loved how he was able to use a straight razor with such ease (a skill not found much anymore) and they even have a mini fridge stocked with sodas and Modelo! A great barber and highly recommend them to others looking for a great cut for a great price! read more

Came up to shop location after was told over the phone I'd have an appointment. When I arrived nobody was getting their hair cut and I was told the wrong appointment time. I asked to get my beard trimmed - as there was 20 minutes until the customer for next appointment would arrive. Was told no and shown the door and told to go to another barber shop. Really really poor communication and customer care, now I'm really glad I didn't get my cut here. Good luck if u decide to get your hair cut here. read more

Antonio has been cutting my hair for years. He is very detailed, and very good at what he does. If you're looking for a new barber, look no further! read more

Excellent cut! Just as good as the $50+ cuts in the loop but with much more attention to detail. I'll be making the drive from the Galleria from now on! read more

Picture yourself in a serene setting. Then someone invites you sit, in the big chair no less. You settle in, kick up your feet, and lean back as a steaming hot towel hits your face and takes you to lalaland (while also opening your pores - win!). In comes the magic man, who masterfully tends to every follicle on your face and head while the eclectic playlist with the sounds of Van Morrison, Old Blue Eyes and Gloria Estefan keep you in that house of good times in your mind. Then one more towel and a magic flick of the wrist let's you know that reality is calling...and you're late getting back. You open your eyes and the hair is gone, the beard is trimmed up with precision, and the man behind the counter gives you a dollar amount that is surely too low for such 5-star service. But it's real...and you walk out wondering how you didn't discover this place sooner. Welcome to the neighborhood. read more

Antonio's customer service and attention to detail are exceptional. Many other places you'd pay extra for the service Old School Barber Shop provides. This place is worth checking out. read more

I'm not in town often but when I am this is the barbershop to get a fantastic cut at! Great vibe. You walk in feeling taken-cared of immediately. The atmosphere is friendly. The haircut of course was great. And there was a complimentary hot towel and shave after! Best 20$ haircut experience I've ever had. read more

Antonio is great. The service is always spectacular I've been going to him for about a year now and he never fails. Always takes his time to make sure your cut is just as you like it to be. read more

First time at this shop. Got something completely different than I asked for. Got what he wanted to give me. Why do they even bother asking how you want it?? read more

Antonio took me as a walk-in between clients and spent as much time with me as if I had had an appointment. Attention to detail and customer focus were top notch and I love the old school touches - hot towel is superb! I will be making appointments for the foreseeable future! Thanks Antonio! read more

Awesome, small, hidden barber shop. Antonio and his business partner do excellent haircuts for men. The price is reasonable, the place is clean, never had a bad cut, and they are always so pleasant to visit with. read more
