I was concerned about going here after reading some very mixed reviews, but it went really well and i'm happy with my haircut! I found that it helps to be extremely specific with what you want and, if they are done and it doesn't look the way you want, be assertive and clear about what you want to fix. Have reference photos and know what number guard you use (if getting a fade)! read more

If you're looking for an affordable alternative to the barber shops for men in Austin, this is the place. Left with a great haircut, only took about 20 minutes total, and Joann was an incredibly sweet barber. Nice and simple atmosphere too; wasn't overwhelmed by loud music or too much thrown at you walking in. Will be coming back! read more

Quick service. Great staff. Excellent haircuts. Talk to the staff and tell them what you want and they make it happen. Friendly.

We've been to The Cut Hut multiple times for haircuts but will never come again. We stopped by The Cut Hut today for my haircut. My boyfriend wanted to grab something to eat while he waited for me and saw a food truck right across the street. Unfortunately, before we'd even taken 2 steps from our car, a woman from The Cut Hut came outside and aggressively started yelled at us "you can't park here!" and before we could explain we were hoping to just grab to-go right across the way before coming back to get a haircut, she was shoo-ing us away with rude looks and hand gestures. Such a rude and unnecessary way to handle the situation. We'll find a new place for haircuts from now on. read more

Excellent. Quick and fairly priced. Walkins are welcome and the line moves very quickly. The best place for a haircut in Austin!

Went in on a recommendation from someone else who goes there. Needed a cut before my daughter's wedding. Perfect! Not too crowded when I went in so that always helps but really satisfied with the cut and Samantha was very sweet. read more

The Cut Hut - Hair Salons Near Me - Austin, Texas

I cannot believe this place is even in business. This is the type of haircut you'd get in a Dollar General or something. Completely botched my fade (picture below). Also, she went too high up on the sideburns on the other side so it's completely uneven. How do you mess up this badly? It's clear now why the haircuts are less than half the price of any other place around. I'm thinking about buzzing my head bald rather than wearing this abomination on my head. Plus, I have never encountered a more rude set of staff members than at Cut Hut. Worst customer experience of my life. Please, please, please, do yourself a favor and forget this place exists. read more

The Cut Hut - Horrible fade. Probably the worst I've ever gotten. - Hair Salons Near Me - Austin, Texas

I came to this barbershop after going to my regular place and it not having any availability. The cut hut took walk ins and I only had to wait 15ish minutes for a haircut. I love the haircut I got and the prices were also extremely reasonable. I will be returning. read more

Went in for my first haircut, since pre-COVID. 99% of places in Austin are still reservation only, as much as a month out. Last haircut was in February and I was an absolute mop-head, until this morning. Got up and found this place on Google and I am so glad I stopped in. A wonderful haircut, for sure, but Lisa was especially pleasant and professional. My new girlfriend has never seen me with a fresh haircut and was pleasantly surprised by my appearance. Being new in the area, I am glad this was my first stop for a haircut, and the price is very reasonable ($17, plus tip... TIP your service pros, people). I will be back and recommend anyone looking for their "COVID Clean-up" to come here. Thanks again, Lisa! read more

Way more than 5 star service! They have a very clean location and are easy to find. They are a simple salon and straight to the point, haircuts and shampoos only. No coloring or styling. Their pricing is extremely reasonable and they are passionate about what they do! I typically go to Super Cuts or Cost Cutters, but have never had such a great experience at those places like I did here. That's why I was looking for a new place to get a haircut. I had Lisa, who shampooed and cut my hair. She did a phenomenal job and was very personable. She has been a stylist for over 30 years! She was amazing! As I was there, they had many repeat clients come in. That is always a good sign of good business practice! I would highly recommend them for your next haircut. They are affordable and know what they are doing! read more

I've lived in Austin for about 9 years and have been to places from super cuts, to Birds Barbershop, to fancy "man's man" beard oil barbers. I've paid both too little and got what I paid for, and far too much and felt robbed by the time I got home. At the end of the day, I just want a good looking haircut by a pleasant person, and a good cost. 9 years later I found it. To top that off I decide to return to get my haircut again, "Not too much just the edges and sides." I said. After being done she says, "Ok we'll see you next time! No charge for just an edge up." It felt old school and honorable and like the place I used to get my haircut. Good fair people, who respect their patrons, and a great looking haircut out the door. I'll be back every time. read more

Was recommended this place by a friend, turned out great. Quick and easy, good conversation, recommend for anyone in area who knows what they want. Thank you Lisa! read more

They are very patient and nice, I would definitely suggest them. They provide the most value out of all the places on west campus.

Love this place! So clean, well kept, and neat. TV for those bored, magazines that are actually up to date, a coat hangar to hold your things, and free gum! They take of you really well, and the haircut was super on point. I'm really bad at describing what I want so I just told her "shorter" and very little else, and she just knew what would be good and it came out looking great and I am really satisfied. Joann was my person today and she is so sweet, fun to get to know, and talented. I will definitely be here again soon. She's warm, friendly, and more than anything-- she's herself. Not trying to earn business or anything, but very dedicated to her job. She commutes from out of Austin daily to be here. Awesome woman. Also, only $14.95? That's a steal, especially in west campus where everyone strings you up for money. Become a regular here. You won't regret it. read more

The Cut Hut - Clean, neat, organized, modern. Seems out of place in this deep west campus corner. - Hair Salons Near Me - Austin, Texas

Worst hair cut I've ever gotten, they were rushing to get me out and cut me unevenly. The loud and abrasive employees there were screaming at each other and as a result stabbed me in the back of the ear. And to put the cherry on top a cockroach ran across my foot at the end of the awful cut. 0/10, just go to sports clips or something they're cheaper and do a better job. read more

Been going to Cut Hut for years; Joanne and Lisa and the rest of the crew are just beautiful human beings and expert hair cutters. Everybody goes there, from UT students to local billionaires all get treated like Kings at Cut Hut. read more

This business is the worst of the worst. Seriously, do not come here. I have no idea how they are still open. The lady was extremely rude to me and my friend. Avoid at all costs!! read more

Idk what the reviews say but I went recently and this girl spent 5 mins on my hair and called it day. I would show y'all but it's embarrassing. Never going here again. read more

The location looks a bit grungy, but they give really great quality haircuts. I have really thick hair and not many barbers cut my hair right. But I always love the way they cut my hair! I was expecting to be there for a long time, but I was in and out really quickly. They are very efficient and get the job done, but I LOVED the outcome. I will be getting my hair cut from here from now on. read more

Reasonable price and follows what you tell them to do pretty well at least for guys. Perfect for students, since it's fast and check-in based - no reservation needed. Don't expect too much service from them - you get what you pay for. Barbers are kind and friendly. When you feel a sudden desire to cut your hair and don't have much time, this is a place to go read more

Great haircut for a great price. The woman who cut my hair was friendly and efficient. I would definitely go back.

At $14.95 for a men's haircut, the Cut Hut offers the best haircut for the price in the city. No, you're not going to get a shampooing and a jackhammer massage like you do at Finley's, but you're also not going to drop an unreasonable $40 for a cut, either. Cut Hut is no frills. You come in, you get snipped, you leave. I was there for seven minutes today and my cut was as good as anyone I've ever gotten. The staff is friendly and always willing to chat with you -- if that's what you're after. If not, they'll let you sit there in peace. You shape your experience. If you're looking for an unpretentious, economic, and satisfying option for your hair care needs, Cut Hut is just the place for you. read more

I've always had trouble finding a good (while cheap) barber shop in Austin. But when this place opened up in West Campus I had to try it out at least for the convenience. This shop used to be "Pro Cuts" on Guadalupe by Torchy's and is now under new ownership. The employees are very professional and are pretty good at what they do. I typically go to Vietnamese barber shops in California who charge about $9-11 for a simple fade cut so the jump to a $16 cut was a bit discerning, but again the convenience seemed worth it. Very rarely do I find a place where they cut my hair symmetrically and neatly but it seems that I have found that place today. The barbers are efficient and easy to converse with making the experience much more light hearted. They do offer a free rinse after the haircut so you don't go home with hair falling everywhere on your way home. They also mentioned that if you want to come in for a "edge up" (trim the sideburns and neckline) they will do that for free as well. Furthermore, if you want to adjust your new cut, you can come in within 3 days and have it for free. I don't see many barber shops offer this kind of service and perks and the fact that it is conveniently located next to a 7/11, sandwich shop, and a few blocks from my apt is very appealing. Definitely worth looking into if you live around the area or haven't found a consistent barber yet. read more

Seems like they can do your basic cuts but not too much more. If you're in a jam then they will suffice.

I've gotten my hair cut here twice by two different employees and they both did a terrible job. They were also very rude to me both time! I drive by this place everyday and never see anyone there and I understand why now. DO NOT GO HERE. Not worth your money I promise! read more

You have to try this place! They give great cuts, they used to be Pro Cuts before Torchys Tacos took over their lease. They're all very nice and even though the outside looks a bit shady, the inside looks great and brand new! I definitely recommend this place to everyone. Price is pretty standard. Give them a try!! read more

The women here have great chemistry and always partake in wonderful banter, which you're free to join in on or leave alone. I'm usually one to get my haircut and get out, but the barbers here are so welcoming that I often converse with them. One of the only truly lighthearted shops I've been to, and I've never had to wait. They've been doing this for years, and they always give great, consistent cuts. They go out of their way to please you. They offer a free rinse after your cut, as well as a free touch-up within three days, in case you aren't satisfied. Great place for a cut at $15. read more

Haircut was quick and Patricia did a great job. The wait was a little long, I might recommend making an appointment. read more

I got a super basic haircut here, but I was really impressed! I didn't have to wait at all, and the prices are unbeatable. All the women working were very professional. I would recommend washing your hair prior to coming if you are a woman, as that did not seem to be standard practice. Luckily, I had just washed my hair prior to coming. It's definitely not an upscale salon, but you can get a good haircut here for $21 including a tip. Plus, it's very conveniently located for students. Also worth mentioning that there is parking. read more

Where do I even begin? I showed the lady who cut my son's hair a picture of what I wanted and gave a description, and she abruptly nodded and just went to work. After she was done in less than 10 minutes, I was surprised and excited to see the final result, thinking she must be fantastic if she could do it that fast. There's a reason it was done that fast. My son has been complaining about how horrible it looks, and I have to say I can't blame him. There's basically a bald patch on the side of his head where she messed up!! And on top of that, she had the nerve to say it was a "calic" (classic barber excuse). Really?? That's weird, considering no one has ever noticed that calic before in their lives, including himself and me (who cut his hair for years). Bottom line: this establishment is full of rude, pretentious staff who could care less about the quality of the customer's haircut and just want to grab your money! I would never recommend this place to anybody. read more

I think they are more experience with cutting men's hair. I've gone twice just to give it a chance with different people cutting my hair. My haircut looked very blunt and they did not blend in the layers. Overall my hair looked really choppy and sad. I am really disappointed but the place was clean and the ladies were very nice. read more

So clean, fast and nice! Cut it exactly how I wanted and didn't try to change it. Will definitely come back :)

I cut my hair from shoulder length to buzzed with clippers and it looks GREAT. The woman who cut my hair (so sad I cannot remember her name ) was careful and precise--talked to me throughout to make sure I received the pixie I wanted. Clean, busy, two on staff when I walked in and mainly cater to men's cuts, but I will be coming back for pixie maintenance. Incredibly reasonable prices and well worth a significant tip. Great service! read more

Absolutely great place! fast and very efficient with a great cut! Joann cut my hair and got me a perfect haircut for my curls and also didn't try to sell me anything funny like other salons! great place if you dont need the frills and fancies of being pampered! read more

Very cheap haircut and I do not recommend going. Was in the chair for 5 minutes before they said I was done. Definitely missed a bunch of spots but I guess I only paid $14.95. The women who cut my hair was very tough on my neck using the razor. Don't think I'll go back. read more

Good place to get your haircut. They fixed a very botched haircut I had, and did an excellent job of making it look like nothing ever happened. Really close to UT campus, which makes it especially convenient for us students read more

You know this place a real one star when the truth pulls up on this review. My son went there recently and the lady spent like 5 minutes(barely) on his hair. I cant even show his face in public because its that embarrassing. If you are looking for a good hair cut i would suggest finding another place. read more
