Amazing service from Kaitlyn. She was welcoming, attentive, and made the whole experience great. Thank you!

As the name suggests, my first time going to a salon with a full-service bar. This place is barbering at the next level. This was my first time and I got the ten year cut or something. The names are confusing and resonates with age rather than styling and service. My stylist was patient enough to understand my needs and she did a great job as well. She explained the services, products and prices. I chose the 10 year cut and it took 20 mins. My stylist was always ears to my changes. I also got a complimentary drink - long island iced tea and it was great. I am planning to purchase the membership if the service and ameneties are going to be this great! read more

Having my hair butchered multiple times. And they expected me to pay still. I told the owner/manager to call me. Worst haircut I've gotten since I was 12 I wouldn't take my kids here. read more

Scissors & Scotch - What is this? I can't even cover it with a hat - Men's Hair Salons Near Me - Austin, Texas

I have been seeing the same hair stylist for quite some time and on my son's recommendation I decided to try Scissors and Scotch. I am very happy with the cut and service. I passed on the mid day drink but will plan a late afternoon for my next appointment. read more

First visit, I was greeted by the receptionist & checked in. She pointed to the bar & stated, the first drink was free. My wife & I walked over to the bar, no bartender.. We sat down about 10 mins later, one of the girls that had been chatting up front returned to the bar. Appt. was for 3P, we waited 20 mins. before we inquired. Told she was running behind 10-15 mins.. Terrible experience, no semblance of professionalism.. read more

How pathetic that an establishment, with kids cuts on the menu, won't cut my child's hair because....why??? He has autism. that's right. This was disclosed at the outset, and we show up for the appointment, but the stylist feels "uncomfortable." They also mentioned the importance of the "comfortability of everyone in this high end establishment." Come on down to scotch and scissors and enjoy yourself some scotch with a side of discrimination against special needs children. Irony is that raging liberals tend to scream about justice...but when they get a chance to live it out, they fall short. Not a single stylist, many on their lunch breaks, would come out and make this right with my son watching and behavioral therapist in tow. Shameful behavior. read more

Monica M is very good at what she does. First place I've been too that I got exactly what I asked for in a haircut. Will definitely be back again. read more

Monica M did a amazing job on my hair. She was very kind, and took the time to listen to all of my requests for my hair. Very funny and charismatic person. As a Barber my self! I can confidently say She is the Barbers' Barber! read more

Terrible hair cut. I asked for a little bit cut off and they cut all of my hair off. if I could leave a zero star or less review. i would not recommend this place to anyone. It's just absolutely awful. Barbers just don't listen. Do not go to this place ever. read more

Their receptionist was a racist individual. As I walked in attempting to check-in for my appointment with my stylist, the receptionist was speaking on the phone. I waited for her to finish, but after 4 minutes of standing before her, and she still not acknowledging my presence , I finally interrupted her lengthy sweet talk with whomever she was having her conversation, and told her this was lousy customer service. I have been where she sat, and the first rule of customer service, it seems to me, is to acknowledge the human being who has entered your premises. She refused to do so. All she would say was she was on the phone. "  I was on the phone. ". She never apologized, as she later claimed to my stylist, never mind " profusely." She is a racist white girl who would rather coo with some male customer over the phone than acknowledge the presence of the person who has walked in and has been standing in front of her for what seemed like 5 minutes. Awful customer service! Amateurish! read more

Hated my haircut, don't think Monica knew what she was doing tbh. Just kept spoiling movies and shows she's seen instead of really listening to my wants. read more

Been going here for a few years now. Absolutely love the service. Kate G, Katy J and Quang are all excellent finds when it comes to locating a quality barber. The eucalyptus hot towel and hot lather neck shave are definitely a bonus that gets you in a great mood to face your week. Fantastic assortment of alcohol. From simple barbering to facial hair sculpting, eyebrow trimming and even nose and ear waxing, this place has anything you want, including a full hot lather shave. My only hesitation in giving this place a review is that it will make them book up faster. I just wish my hair grew faster so I had an excuse to go more than once a month. read more

We love Scissors and Scotch! My husband sees Scotty and his haircut is always perfect. I took my father in law last week for the first time and (I forgot her name) did a great job on Ralph's haircut. She was perfect and made Ralph feel comfortable at relaxed. It's always nice to take a seat at the bar and have a cocktail or beer after the haircut. read more

To start with, they have variable rates. The price varies with the "stylist" you choose. Second thing is that they have the worst barber chairs that I have ever sat on, had a real stiff back while I was under the hot towel on my face. Speaking of the hot towel, they stink, imagine smelling a nasty towel while your back is hurting. To top it off my so called stylist had long nails which pricked my scalp every time she ran them through my hair. For a $75 haircut, this place is just abysmal. Do yourself a favor and go to your local barber. read more

I'm always early for my haircut appointments now that they involve alcoholic beverages. The staff here is great, especially my hair stylist/barber/haircut-connoisseur Scotty. read more

Scissors & Scotch - Men's Hair Salons Near Me - Austin, Texas

See all

Let me start with the positive. The atmosphere and the girl at the front desk were 5 star. Girl at the front was super nice and professional. I got a $54 haircut from a stylist named SOFIA.... Worst haircut experience of my life. I could tell from the first minute of meeting her she was not going to be good. She was spaced out when she shook my hand.... It's a FIFTY DOLLAR haircut. I would not ever let this stylist touch my hair again. She was rude. Confused. At one point she said, let me get someone else because I don't know what you want. After I showed her a picture! My haircut is super simple and you would've though we were building rockets to go to space. Let me say the most disappointing part of the experience was how rude she was. At one point she angrily snipped a chunk of my hair. She also clipped my ear. This place needs to up the standard for stylists. Oh and if you do go here, don't go to Sofia. read more

my haircut was the best I've had in months and it's thanks to Monica M she understood the assignment and absolutely destroyed it by how good it was honestly thank yall read more

Bridget was amazing and so kind! She gives a great men's haircut. She really took the time to understand exactly what I wanted. She even taught me how to style my new haircut correctly. Only complaint was the bartender who would rather have conversations with people instead of serving those waiting for their drinks. Other than the rude bartender this is an amazing place to get your haircut! read more

I loved this first experience... booked my husband for the 25 year and beard edge up. With tip it was $106 (I left a $20 tip). The stylist name was Charles and my husband said that he did a great job... and he would go back to him again. My husband's beard grows pretty crazy and quickly and so we plan to get the membership (For his hair) and to make sure he maintains his chia pet beard (haha). With every service you get one free drink (they have a decent size bar) and with membership you get 2 free drinks. You also get a % off your tab when you come in (w/o getting a hair service). The bartender was super nice (Shout out to Saundra!) and over all it was very chill. Everybody was wearing their mask and it was quite clean as well. This place is a tad expensive, but if your in the market for a boujee service- this is a great place. Worth the money and self-care. read more

I will avoid using names, but I seem to have a similar experience with others. My first trip was incredible. My haircut was better than I expected, my old fashioned was top notch and the price was not bad either. However, on my second visit.. I showed the same picture to the same hairdresser as last time. She critiqued the haircut that I was wanting and was very unprofessional as if this was "her" haircut, instead of what the client requested. I explained to her that this was similar to before, and what she did specifically to which she argued "I would not have done it like that", however as she did. When she was "done" she asked what I thought. I did not approve, however I simply resolved to be polite and only asked that she blend my hair with my beard a bit better... to which she behaved as if I was horribly putting her out. Afterwards, when I visited the bar, the bartender was busy with a solicitor so I waited patiently for their conversation to be done. She asked what I would like to which I replied with my scotch of choice.. "neat". There was less than half a dram left in the bottom of the bottle, and rather than grabbing another bottle.. I settled with what I was given. The conversation was pleasant, however. I have resolved myself to never visit this location again, and went home to pour my own "proper dram" as well as to only schedule appointments with my own hairdresser all the way over in Houston whenever we go to visit family on a monthly basis. read more

Very easy from start to finish but also all of my haircuts there have been great. Shout out to both Shawn and Kaitlyn who I highly recommend. read more

Easy to book online- that's what got me here. I made a substantial change in my hairstyle, and the dude worked with me to nail down the details, and I left really happy. I'm not super chatty, my barber got the hint, and wasn't overly gregarious. I was offered a drink after my cut, which I declined, but the bar looked nice enough. read more

My boyfriend got his haircut here today and the customer service was great and the ambiance is so cute! I had a Bloody Mary while I waited on him and his hair cut looks nice and was only $40! And the drinks were included in the service! 10/10 recommend! read more

Scissors & Scotch - Madison's old fashion feat. Blue balls - Men's Hair Salons Near Me - Austin, Texas

I've gone to this place twice and both times, it's been a negative experience. The experience itself was decent - atmosphere is fine, chairs are comfortable enough, but the people who cut hair here must just lack skill. The first girl who cut my hair (sorry guys, I don't remember names, I think Amanda?) royally fucked it up. I have a pretty basic haircut - it's literally just a Mohawk. I just asked her to buzz the sides of my head, she buzzed straight into my Mohawk on one side, so its no longer a straight line on one side. I decided to go back and give it one more chance a month or two later, since it's a convenient location. I had a different hairdresser this time, a male. Before this dude even started cutting my hair, I was done. This man sprayed so much water on my head that it was literally running down my shoulders. Like SO much. I had to ask for a towel to get the water out of my ears. Then he goes to cut my hair, acknowledges that it's crooked on one side. I told him it happened last time I came here - a comment he didn't even acknowledge. But instead of making my Mohawk more narrow to correct the line, like I asked, he just cut it as if the previous hairdresser hadn't taken a chunk out of it. I now have a 18" Mohawk, and a 3" patch of hair sticking out the side of it at all times. It looks absolutely awful, and would take ages to grow out enough to match the rest. Avoid this place - it's heavily overpriced and I've had more skilled hairdressers at cheap "Super Cuts" type businesses. read more

The communication received from Melissa and her coworkers exceeded expectations. After being left with a butchered haircut from a previous barbershop, I had intended to have all my hair off and start over. Having thinning hair and receding hairlines, it's been changing to maintain and keep what I have left. After explaining my situation to Melissa, she was surprisingly able to transform a disaster cut into a exceptional recovery cut without cutting everything off. I'm am very pleased with the outcome from what she had to work with. I will definitely be returning here for future services and recommend this place for your next cut and/or salon service. read more

He gets in the zone so is not very talkative but Jamie there gives one of the best haircuts I've been able to find anywhere in Austin... I used to go to the downtown salons for reference read more

I am a fan of this place. Upscale service but without emptying your pocket out. Tried it on a whim. Came in a had amazing service from the time I entered to the time I left. I was paired with Jerome and he gave one of the best haircuts i have ever had. I opted into the 25 year service to see what it would be like and it did not disappoint. Of course they have an amazing bar with decent selections. Your first drink is complementary. Brittney was our bar tender and she was very personal. Honestly it made me want to just sit here all day. For being two days open and swinging by just to give this place a chance, i will be making this place a regular routine. Give it a shot. It will be worth your time and money. read more

Not much to like about this place. If you wear a mask you'll likely be the only one (one staff member had one on) the "barbers" are amateurs at best, and the services are poorly designed. Haircut was ok - I'd recommend you head to Skinny's instead. read more

They don't use anything over a 3 on a trimmer which is weird, but they were able to get my haircut right still. Little pricey, but was overall a good experience and haircut. read more

Scotty is amazing and very talented really a great haircut. Can't go wrong booking with her

Had a great experience here. My wife surprised me with a head treatment for my birthday. Emery was rad! Great conversation, great job on my whole melon. I'll be coming back for sure. Not to mention a complimentary spirit while I wait. I chose a rye, neat. read more

My favorite haircut experience I've ever had. Is it a bit pricey? Sure. But is it worth it? 100%. Got my haircut by Jacquie and i couldn't be more happy with it. First barber experience in Austin since quarantine and they temperature check/require hand sanitizer as soon as you enter. All employees were wearing masks. Overall a great experience. Complimentary drink comes with it and I got to enjoy a drink while waiting. Definitely recommend. Who can turn down a free drink ;) read more

I was thinking about booking a haircut for my son who is in desperate need for one but was hesitant due to corona virus concerns. I am thankful I have not booked. I asked a friend where to go for a cut and he mentioned this place had opened back up. Yay!!! Finally, normalcy!!! However, he shared some concerns. I had hoped they were taking more precautions to protect their staff and clients, but clients are not wearing masks and the same cape is being placed on client after client. This place just seemed to him like a breeding ground for coronavirus at this point so I will have to wait until a salon opens that is taking TDLR and CDC recommendations seriously. If you want coronavirus, book here! Otherwise, my son just wants a haircut and it can wait. read more

This is hands down one of the best places as a men's salon. Truly I have had membership as several other similar concepts but there is always something lacking wether it be over the top customer service with great clips style cuts or vice versa. But Scissors and Scotch is the total package amazing customer service ran by the operations manager Brittany, amazing five start bar service under the leadership of Sarah and top notch bartenders like Skylar it's truly an amazing place that can cater to all of your needs. I suggest the two stylist's Lena and Emory I have never once gotten a haircut as good as what they provide and the due diligence on there part to make sure your satisfied is key. If your looking for a great haircut or straight razor shave check this place out, and have a drink and make your new regular bar. read more

Vivian is great! The best haircuts I've had in a decade. Working with her is easy, and she gives solid advice for upkeep. Overall, the place has a friendly and fun atmosphere. Keep up the excellent work! read more

I'm giving two stars because...it's not always terrible. I've been going here for 1 year, purely because I live around the corner. It's average at best - but typically the hairdressers are lovely. Amanda(i think her name was) was amazing. Stacy on the other hand...who cut my hair today was the rudest person I've ever encountered during a haircut... I won't be returning. $26 for 5 minutes of bad attitude and a shaved sideburn.. read more

Super fun and love the spa experience --supposed to be for men but color me macho! I did it! great place to bring a date.

I seriously think I may have gotten the best haircut of my life from Lina here at S&S. This place is friendly, offers great features like in-house bar and free drink with service, memberships, masculine decor, and talented stylists that use an approach unique to their business. I was skeptical at first, but I'm convinced that a trip to Scissors & Scotch is one of the few luxuries I will afford myself for the foreseeable future. read more

Shawn is excellent and is incredibly skilled! Best haircut I have gotten - thanks Shawn!

AMAZING! I got the best haircut, the staff is wonderful, and I got a drink to go along with it
