    Worse haircut ever! I am mortified. My summer is ruined. All of these thoughts and more have been going through my head since my abysmal experience at Zeus on Congress Ave (there's another location on 1st st). I typically get my haircut from an actual 'stylist' but had been wanting to go by this place for a time and show it some support since it had been written up in my neighborhoods monthly flyer. What a mistake. Let me tell you about this experience and you tell me where it went wrong. Wait, I know where it went wrong. When I didn't just turn around and get my ass out of there when I first walked in. So this place had been described as a barber shop akin to Floyd's or Bird's. Whoever made that connection has obviously not been to either of those well run and clean establishments. I walk into the very small entry to find it filled with little kids, a lady waiting on her husband, and some dude slouched down in a chair watching the tv. I'm like, so what do I do now? Until I make eye contact with this guy who never even says hi, but 'You here for someone?' No, just here for a haircut. Sullenly, 'A'ight (pause, pause, pause, cause he's watching one last thing on the tv) I can do it.' And he slowly peeled himself off the chair. THAT is when I should have turned it the F%$! around. He walks me back to the nasty corny where his chair is and scanning the room I get the immediate perception that all of the men in there got their cosmetology certificates at the state penitentiary. No kidding. Before I sit down this guy ask me what I want. I tell him just a short cut. Seems easy enough. 'A'ight.' I didn't face a mirror the entire time I got my haircut. I didn't know I was about to get my head SHAVED until I heard the thing come on and quickly go up the side of my head. HOLY F%$! I look in the mirror and literally say, 'Holy Crap!' His reply, 'Wha? You said you wanted it shote. It's a foe. You want me ta stop?' Really? Really?! Stop now?! There's a ditch going up the side of my head to the crown of it. I had no choice but to let him finish his assault on my integrity. As I sat there brooding I watched the other people getting cuts and it became very very clear that people do not come to this place to have their head cut with SCISSORS, but with a shaver. My 'barber' used his scissors once to cut a couple of fly aways. When the Sanduskying of my head was finished I took out a credit card and asked him how I could pay. 'Cash.' I didn't have cash and my card was in my hand. 'You don't have cash? Uh, yeah, we can take a card too.' What's going on here really? And then it was $15 before any tip!!! $15 dollars for that!! End of the day, don't go here unless you want to get your head shaved and there are a lot of cleaner, friendlier, and less expensive places to get that done. One positive thing I could say. The cut is symmetrical.

    This Barbershop is great. There's only one thing. They need to clean up after cuts and before leaving nightly.

    Right away, I felt at ease with Mike, who did a very nice job with what is, obviously, a very sensitive operation.

She has always done a fantastic job with my hair, and I leave feeling confident and refreshed every time. Beyond her exceptional skill, what truly stands out is how welcoming and friendly she makes the entire experience. Her warm demeanor makes me feel right at home, and her attention to detail ensures that I get exactly what I want. Thank you all for maintaining such a great atmosphere and for having such talented staff. I look forward to my next visit!

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.
