Dapperness is an art and not many people have the skills to translate that individuality to a man's beard so when my barber set up shop here I had to follow. The service provided by each barber is tailored for their clients. If you have a thick full-grown beard, I would highly recommend Pete and go with the full treatment, hot towel, steamer, straight razor, moisturizer and beard balm. The vibe is laid back and all are welcomed! read more

Ambrose has been my barber since the early 2000s, he is the best I know in Houston, he gets it right every time.

Hands down my favorite barbershop in Houston! I would highly recommend it. Ambrose the owner/barber knows his stuff. I wouldn't go to any other barber in Houston. Make sure you bring in your work shoes to get them shined while you get your haircut. read more

I used to get my hair cut by Ambrose when he worked at Joe Lees downtown for years. After it got difficult to pop in and get cuts, I ended up wandering the Houston barber landscape for a couple years. Definitely found some awesome barbershops along the way, but was pleasantly surprised one more when I couldn't get a cut where I'd been going and saw Ambrose's shop pop up here on yelp. Wasn't sure if it was actually him, but called up, rolled through and sure enough there he was. The crew here is always super laid back, but offer up some pretty fine cuts at a really fair price. I suppose you could say it's in an interesting area too over in the East End, but I run through the area too and never feel unsafe, so I'd say check em out! read more

Ambrose is a fantastic barber, who has refined his skills to become the Master Barber that he is. When I take my teenage son to get a haircut, he never knows how to explain what style he actually wants, but Ambrose knows. With 3 sons, I wouldn't take them anywhere else. We're loyal customers for 16 years now, and going strong! Ambrose never fails to give the best barber experience ever for my kiddos. It's the best of the 3 C's: Conversation Customer service Cool cut read more

Ambrose's Barber Shop - Antique barbershop chairs. - Barbers Near Me - Houston, Texas

My buddy Marcelo told me about this place cause his Friend Ambrose the best barber on this side of town, so today I went unfortunately he wasn't there so I went to other barber and he ask me questions if I was new so he charge 45$ after the haircut and said if that's ok? I was pretty upset. So he took 10$ off cause I'm a vet. So please if you come tell them you are not new. Cause they will charge new mark prices. Very disappointed hopefully owner will make things right! Very unprofessional! Felt conned! read more

Great place for a precise professional hair cut. I randomly found this spot here on yelp and have been back twice. It has the old school swagger that makes a barber shop a true barber shop. read more

Ambrose is the best barber in town. Every time he cuts my hair, people always compliment on how well it's done. Super friendly and professional service....I'll keep coming back to this hidden gem. read more

I've been going to Ambrose to get my haircut for a a few years now. His haircuts are constantly on point, and he charges a fair price. I wouldn't go anywhere else, and plan to be visiting Ambrose for years to come. I highly recommend you stop by and pay him a visit, he's gonna do a give you a great cut. The only con is that you may wait a few minutes, but only because he always pays attention to the details and gives all his clients the attention they deserve. If you read through these reviews there is a constant theme. He has clients that have been stopping by for years, there's a reason for that. Ambrose and his crew do a great job! read more

Last time I got a good haircut. This time, they were closed during the business hours posted here, so phone ahead. Now I gotta check out the competition today. read more

Alex, great work with the fade, taper, and razor. Very much a neighborhood barber shop. Reasonable price for great work. The guys who work here are really friendly, walk ins are welcome. Open early with plenty of parking. If you're looking to get a clean haircut and avoid any hype, this is the place. read more

I love this barber shop and Ambrose is one of the best barbers he cuts hair real good and very chill guy.

Ambrose is a super cool guy. I got a haircut plus beard trim from him and he did an awesome job. Pretty standard pricing for haircuts here. I always pay cash for haircuts so not sure if credit cards are accepted. This place has a local barbershop feel. I have been looking for a barbershop like that in Houston that isn't always packed. Ambrose is the place for that. Will definitely be going back. read more

While the shop is relatively new, I've been coming to see Ambrose for over 5 years when he was working downtown. I went on Saturday April 22, and the quality is still there. Ambrose takes his time and is going to ask you what you want, exactly! Chances are you are going to be in the chair longer than other places because he's getting the details right for you. He also finishes off the cut with a great straight razor to get nice clean lines on the neck. Another great thing is you can get a shoeshine while you are there, or you can drop them off and pick them up later. They add it to the bill, and you can pay everything at one time. I don't have to worry about having cash on hand, because he takes credit cards as well. I live about 25 minutes away from the shop, but will always travel there now that I know he's there. read more

Discovered this barber shop after the one I used to go decided to jack up their prices. I felt like I was missing out all this time not coming to Ambrose's. He made me feel welcome l, and always leaves me smiling after the cut. Tell him what cut you want and he will do it for you! Very laid back & feel good shop he has. Been coming here for 1.5 yrs & counting! read more

Ambrose is the place to go if you want to look fresh, new, and in style! He knows exactly what to do and how to do it! I've been going to his shop for 2 years and won't be going any where else anytime soon! The shop is a total man cave and super laid back! Larry will shine your boots while you get a cut; not many shoe shine spots left like Larry's. This is definitely the best barber spot I've ever been too! read more

I have been a long time customer of Ambrose's former Barber Shop downtown Houston. Although he didn't own the shop, I went there because of him. He is very professional and always personable. Today I got my first cut at his new shop on Milby. He is just getting started and his place is pretty bare bones in an old building, but dont let the decor discourage sitting in his chair. Now that he has full control and owns his own place, you get nothing but the best haircut. It's an old school Barber Shop where you can always trust him to make you look good. Gone are the temp employees, overbearing owner, and people pushing products you don't need. Just an old fashioned haircut at a good solid price. Another bonus is he has Alex cutting hair while telling endless jokes and Larry shinning shoes. Ambrose is a local Houstonian worth supporting. read more

Worst cut I've gotten. The barber just seemed sloppy and untrained and it cost me $20

Walked in around 10 am and was seated almost immediately. Got a nice cut from Alex. He was helpful in his recommendations and experience to get my hair looking just right. Awesome fade, taper, and straight razor edge work. Nonstop compliments since I left the shop. I think I just found my regular barbers. Thanks guys, congrats on the success-y'all deserve it. read more

Went there for the first time today and I'm gonna keep going there from now. Great hair cut! Great price! I definitely recommend this place! They take their time to produce a fantastic service. read more

I wasn't sure about Ambrose's shop at first because of the shops location but this place is absolutely wonderful. It has a rustic and vintage feel with the highest quality entertainment luxuries and amenities of a five star salon. Every haircut comes with a hot towel finish and straight razor clean line up. Ask for Alex but I granted anyone who has a job at this shop will give you a quality haircut. Plus they'll polish your hard soles and they take credit cards. It is worth the journey to the area for a quality haircut at a great price. Will definitely make this place my to go to place for haircuts in Houston read more

Recently moved to Houston and was looking for a barbershop that cares about its customers and its craft. Ambrose was very inviting and did an excellent job, paying attention to every detail and checking in along the way to make sure I was on the same page. I recommend this place if you want to get an actual, respectable haircut. Plus there is a shoe shine so bring some old worn down shoes while you're at it! read more

This guy is Houston. Quintessential down home comfort when you walk in the door. He's a Hispanic guy with mad skills in all hair styles. There are a couple kickass dudes that work with him as a 2nd barber and on-site shoe detailing. This man runs the kinda shop you want to hang at all day but it's still never super busy. Walk-ins are more than welcome, they are expected. Just come by and see this guy for any male hairstyle. Best prices for the value and I've tried every other up tight, high volume shop in Houston. Most places are fake, gimmicky, overpriced, too scene, or just crap haircuts. Ambrose can do corporate clean, chollo shave, Euro boi, and most anything else. Go see this dude but don't tell your friends! read more
