    Pax S.

    I always have a fear of cheating on my barber (who is over 2 hours away) but I decided I just had to get a cut cause things were getting out of hand. After a strong recommendation from a friend, I booked a Saturday appointment with Jordan aka Phantom_Fadez. As a 3rd gen barber, he knows what he's doing. The shop is clean, the clients are tame, and the music volume is just right. Jordan worked with me to get my cut exactly how I like it and we had wonderful conversation. This barbershop is extraordinarily LGBTQ+ friendly (also law enforcement friendly) and I was super glad to feel safe during my cut. Tip: if you want a beard cleanup with your haircut, order the half shave because I ordered the full and Jordan told me that he would have been shaving my face completely off!

    I was a walk-in, and though I was greeted immediately (by the owner?), the wait was not too long. A busy barbershop is a good thing. I got to soak in the environment. The layout is very vintage but authentic. This place is oozing with good energy. Lots of laughing and conversing, and though I don't talk much myself, I asked for a flat top, and I had a more novice cutter cut my hair, and a more senior barber dipped in and took over for a bit, all the while coaching and mentoring, something I don't see anymore. The only thing I would have enjoyed more is a straight razor shave instead of clippers which looking back perhaps I should have been more specific on that. It's okay, I'll do that next time as I'm sure to be back.

    Nice ass fade

    The gave me a good ass fade and for my boy Oliver. He came in looking clapped and came out clapping cheeks. Besides the fade, he cleaned up the hairline hella well. That line is deadass straighter than Oliver. He be pulling the baddest baddies thanks to Phantom Fadez

    They make southside barbers look bad. Never coming back and I really liked a couple of their barbers

The barber mentioned the appointments for standard cuts are in 30 minute increments, so in that regard, I felt her somewhat rushed, but overall, she did a good job. I live in San Diego, where the average haircut is outrageously expensive so I intentionally held off until I arrived in Austin for work travel thinking it would be cheaper. I ended up spending $50, before tip, which is even more expensive than my go-to back home. They offer complimentary non-alcoholic drinks in the back, which is also the waiting area. They do not accept cash, but who is still carrying cash in 2026 anyway?

    I had an absolutely terrible experience with this barber. From the moment I sat down, it felt like…read morehe was more focused on rushing me out of the chair than actually giving me a decent haircut. Before starting, I showed him photos of exactly what I wanted: a clean high bald fade. I even told him it was totally fine if he didn't want to take it all the way down to the skin if he didn't have the right tools. Instead of listening, he rushed through the entire cut and then had the nerve to tell me, "This is what you get in 30 minutes." At one point he literally showed me a timer he had set for 30 minutes like that somehow justified the quality of the haircut. Then he said if I wanted a better blend I should have booked a beard trim too, which honestly felt like a cheap upsell after already paying a ridiculously high price for the haircut itself. The result? An absolutely terrible fade with harsh lines and almost no blending. It looks nothing like the photos I showed him. For the price he charges, I expected professionalism and basic attention to detail, not to be rushed through like I was on an assembly line. To make matters worse, when he used a straight razor on the back of my neck, he actually cut me multiple times. I left with small nicks and irritation back there, which is completely unacceptable. A straight razor should be used with care, not rushed like everything else during the appointment. I walked out feeling like I had been robbed and honestly embarrassed by how bad the haircut looks. If you value your money and don't want to leave looking like an idiot with a butchered fade--and possibly with cuts on your neck--I would strongly recommend going somewhere else.
