I live in Cypress. My barber retired and am looking for a barber with good clipper skills and straight edge shaving.

There was a recent thread with good recommendations from Tomball (town Square) and Woodlands.

I tried the lady at "his and hers" at the front of Fairfield. She's a barber, does a straight razor edge, but she's damn expensive ($55) and she talks A LOT about herself. I probably won't go back.

I'm trying another guy who gets good reviews in Towne Lake shopping center this week... But he's $55 also. I'll pay it if he's good but that's a lot of money.

I'm like you - want a true barber who does a good taper and edges up nicely.

$55?!?! Good lord. I have to talk myself in to paying $30 at my place. Jesus. I miss the days of getting my hair cut for $6 bucks by Lynn at the little Asian place next to Jim Pruetts guns and ammo. Those were the days.

I know, bruh, but it's damn hard to find something other than crappy sports clips / great clips places which don't employ proper barbers. That applies to crappy fake barbers like Tune Ups that just add beer to the same cosmetologists that you find at sports clips.

I could probably go up to 35 without batting an eye (sports clips is like 25 I think) but I agree, 55 is hard to stomach.

Yikes- I just paid $50 but that was in Seattle and I was in a bind… I was thinking closer to $20.

My barber is in spring; great job and under anything posted here, but uses a bic shaver for my neck. I don't facial shave (genetics).

IM me if you need more info.

Went to Hugh Nguyen in Towne Lake yesterday. He definitely takes his time and will cut it just the way you ask. He does straight razor only over the ears, no hot foam.

$55 is just brutal. I don't know if I'll go back. It's too damn high.

Absurdly, I found a fantastic barber in Dallas where my son lives - Bearded Bastage (changed to avoid filter, but you get the idea) - but I don't make it up there frequently enough to make him my regular guy. He's $35 and teaches at the barber college. Good dude.

Good haircuts are one thing that I've found it to be worth splurging on. I did Sport Clips, Board Room, etc for years before I broke down and went to a nicer place. Now I pay $55 + tip for a haircut but no longer have to worry about whether or not the person cutting is going to screw it up. The place I go also has free mimosas, so that's a plus.

Aaron Veloz (@a.v.cuts) Instagram photos and videos

Aaron cuts my hair and is the best barber I've found around here. I get a fade and he does a great job. He cuts Alex Bregman and Lance McCullers hair as well.

If you decide to try him out, let me know. He's usually fully booked up to about 4 weeks out, but if he knows you're a referral he may squeeze you in.

well this is the worst humblebrag I've seen in awhile. But maybe the best humblebrag fail.

No one cares you get your hair cut by the barber to the stars.

Go see Maria and Azu at Royal Cuts. Corner of Telge and Huffmeister. Good clipper work. Don't know about straight razor. $12 standard haircut. I give them a $20 and out the door.

That's the one. Maria used to be at Sport Clips at Grant/Louetta and opened that shop 8-10 years ago.

Yall need to teach your wives to cut hair. She only needs to learn ONE style, and unless any of you are Chris Hemsworth, it will be 'plenty good 'nuf'.. Fortunately for me, it's no guard on the side and 'long enough on top to not stick up'. Zip it around, fade it in, done.

The last time I got a haircut in a barbershop it cost my 7.50 plus a tip at Northgate barber and I thought that was expensive.

Isn't the other point of going to the barber shop to get away from the family and shoot the shot with the guys?

I don't know. It's kinda pricey for me to justify that as a benefit.

I guess if you hate your family. I am not a small talk guy and the last thing I want it to chit chat with the barber or listen to some old codgers complain about the weather or baseball.

Roman at Sharp and Dapper in Cypress. When I moved to the area for work in early 2021, he was just getting started. He handed me a card because I clearly needed a haircut and I went to him up until I recently moved to Dallas. Great personality and gives a damn good haircut for about $30.

not sure about that but my wife has already said she's not cutting my hair so…

also still remember the time my mom has us lined up for cuts and caught my gramp's ear in the scissors - definitely could have been the wine but still prefer to use the pros these days

My barber also "retired" - his wife has millions of social media followers so helping her with that.
