I have never been to a barbershop before in my life and have always been picky about where I get my haircut or who cuts my hair. I have really thick, curly hair and Krista did an amazing job. The service was quick, friendly, and she asked what I needed and met everything. I'm definitely happy I came here. The place is a little old, but it's very welcoming and is definitely interesting to sit in. If you need a haircut or want to try something new, I definitely suggest tying this place out. Now, I haven't tried getting a shave there or anything yet, so I'm speaking from a first visit, haircut only. I'm very satisfied with my haircut and plan to continue going there. read more

I have always heard and somewhat known of this Barber shop throughout the years I have had my regular Barber for 19 years it is very hard to find somebody that can cut a True Flattop. My Barber retired recently and I decided to give trophy a try. I am so glad I did upon entrance I was greeted with a warm welcome fresh coffee station is always available. Santiago was my Barber that morning and he was razor sharp! Thanks to Trophy I am high and tight forever. Lastly there is a definitive reason why folks stay in business so long it is all about the customer just like Ray Kroc once said. read more

Great barber shop. Great atmosphere and employees. Highly recommend. I walked in and within 30 seconds was being seated for my haircut.

This would have been five stars had I written it last spring when I first walked in. I was determined to get a straight shave for the first time ever, and of course I was a bit nervous about having someone I don't know hole a blade to my throat. I took a number and had a seat. A man offered to shine my shoes, which was a nice old timey touch to the place. The ambiance was perfect; stuffed exotic game were mounted on the walls and in a display area in one corner, and antlers bristled from the ceiling. The equipment was everything you could ever hope for in a true barber shop. When my number was called, the lady I ended up with couldn't do a straight shave and recommended I wait for JJ. As it happens that was the best possible thing that could happen, because JJ was a true artist. Throughout the shave he was very enthusiastic, his attention to detail was impeccable, and he provided an amazing service. You could tell he truly loved his craft. Three hot towels, fragrant shaving cream, soothing aftershave, cold towels afterwards, the whole time explaining the process and why each step was important. It was one of the most relaxing experiences I've ever had. I left with the best and closest shave of my life. Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago. I found myself in Baytown again and hoped to see JJ at the barber shop, because I was in a transition period where I had run out of razors and had just joined the Dollar Shave Club, but my new razors hadn't come in. I was looking pretty scraggly. JJ wasn't there, and the place was very crowded, but everyone seemed to be waiting for the guy named Richard, so numbers were being called pretty quickly. I ended up with someone named Matt. I'll cut to the chase and say the experience was diametrically opposite to the original. He seemed a bit annoyed that I would ask for something like a straight shave, loosely fitted me with a cape, and took the clippers to my beard--no problem I thought, it was pretty heavy and would dull a blade in no time. After my shave I realized most of that went under the cape and down my shirt. It was not a comfortable ride home. After he leaned me back, he applied three hot towels and cream, and at that point I was still under the impression that it would be similar to my first shave. When he started in with the razor, the difference was remarkable. This guy was doing a job he wanted to finish quickly. I'm not a delicate man, but when a straight razor is involved I want the steady and gentle hands of a rabbi at a bris. When he finished his quick job, he roughly applied the cold towel and aftershave, paused, and went back over a spot he had missed. Let that sink in a moment. He had just applied an alcohol-based aftershave to already slightly razor burned skin and RE-SHAVED THE AREA. That was not at all comfortable. Afterward, he blasted me with the air hose, applied moisturizer, and dusted me with talcum powder. I paid and left, wondering if I should have waited for that Richard guy who was so popular that day. The real kicker was when I got back in the car and gingerly investigated my irritated face and found that despite his attempts to pick up the areas he missed after applying aftershaved, the guy had still missed several spots near my mouth and upper cheeks. So between one five star shave and what I'd consider a one star shave, I'm giving the place two stars. Why not three? Well, because there's no chance I'm going back. During the shave someone came in asking for JJ and was told he didn't work there anymore. I'm not taking my chances with any of the other barbers (only one or two of which were familiar from the first time, so I suspect they may have a high turnover rate). So if any of you reading this knows where JJ is currently barbering, please drop me a message and let me know. read more

I went in for a quick trim and shave. I walked out with a bloody neck, and my hair in a bowl. I frequently get a straight razor shave, but I've never been cut so bad blood soaked into my collar. read more

Great haircut! As a matter of fact I think this might have been the best hair cut I've ever had. Really awesome decor too. It looks like the great white hunter retired and opened a barbershop. They even give shaves with a straight razor. read more

I just got my haircut here. The guy in the far left chair. He literally just "trimmed it up" and had me get up. The haircut itself is bad. It's uneven and has no style to it whatsoever. The shaved the back of my neck, but didn't even ask me or try to trim/edge up my beard. He was the only barber in the shop taking walk ins and I knew that was a red flag, but it was my first time going here so I went with it anyways. Most of the other barbers in the shop looked like they were pretty good, if not really good as I had about an hour wait so I was able to watch them work. If you do end up going here avoid the guy on the far end at all costs. read more

The Trophy has been a cultural icon since forever. It has stood the test of time and is always been a little slice of history that every kid in this area has always dreamed about going to to have their haircut. A big polar bear in the front, the weird scary looking baboon hanging on the side. The hundreds of deer antlers on display and all the other mounts. It has been the "go to" barbershop for the man's man for years and Santiago has been the "go to" barber at this barbershop for the past three years. Don't get me wrong, The rest of the barbers we're always great folks. We drove from Louisiana today so Santiago could cut our sons hair. When we walked in, we asked for he was because he was gone. No one offered to tell us where he had gone, just that he didn't work there anymore. Well we had driven from Louisiana to get a haircut so, there's a bald guy with the white goatee sitting there in one of the chairs who asked if we want to get him to cut his hair. He didn't really seem like he was interested in doing it and seemed to have an attitude right off the bat, I think his name is Greg. My wife tried to tell him what number Clippers to start using on the side when he asked how he wanted his haircut and he responded "he's trying to find a picture and show me. She continued on and said he's got a real bad Cowlick and immediately he responded "well there's nothing I can do about that." My wife tried to explain "I understand you can't do anything about it I just wanted to let you know." At this point his snotty attitude starting to grate on both of our nerves. my wife asked asked me if I was ready to go and I was, so I told our son to get out of the chair and we left. Gone are the days of kindness and courtesy apparently at the Trophy barbershop. BTW, we located Santiago at The Kings Barbershop 1/2 block away by a brief search of the web. Apparently many people have been looking for him and writing similar reviews about the trophy on other sites. read more

If I could put in zero stars I would . This was my first time at a Texas barber shop and so far I'm not impressed by any means. I walked in and was seated for my cut . The brunette woman asked me what I wanted and I explained it the exact way I explained it to my barber back home and she still couldn't get one part of what I explained right . I asked for a trim and high fade all the way around with a 1 or 2 for the level and she proceeded to use a 3. I wanted the high fade but I think she must've taken it out of context since she went ahead and faded the back of my hair all the way up to the crown of my head. My length on top was about twice as short as I had asked for and I wasn't lined up correctly either . And on top of all of this my wife even had to walk over and try to explain it AGAIN due to her noticing that my hair wasn't getting cut how I explained/wanted it. Nothing about the haircut is relatively similar to what I had wanted or explained so if you plan on going in and getting something completely different than what you plan on getting/wanted then for sure come here . Not a waste of money at all . I don't plan on ever returning here. read more

I just moved to Baytown and was VERY worry about getting a new barber. My hair is very fine and straight and not everyone knows how to deal with it. When I arrived to Trophy Barber shop I was very worry about the results because I had a family cruise trip in five days and wanted to look good and not with my hair messed up. I didn't have to wait when I arrived and an old man (I forgot his name) took care of me. When he grabed the csissors and my hair I notice that his hands were shaking! At that moment I panicked. At the end, everything came out perfect. My haircut was exactly the way I want it. He even shaved my neck with a blade, something that not everybody does. He uses the old school technique. Even the comb he used to comb my hair is an old fashion comb. I am very happy with my haircut and happy that I found a place and a barber that I can trust to take care of my hair. I will definitely be back. read more
