My son's review: "Joe R. was clearly very experienced and skilled. He made very precise movements and the cut was fast. Also understood the instructions perfectly," and recommended a great hair style and product for my son. "Best barber hands down." read more

The quality and experience has really gone downhill. All I wanted was a 0-1 fade and some length off the top. The barber said it would be $49 instead if $39 but that she could do a .5-1 fade. The cut took maybe 20 minutes, and she just kind of took off the robe and said I was done. No small talk, no care to get the hair off too much. For $40 or $50 there are a myriad of places I could go. The quality I've had with birds is all over the place, if you go here you might as well find someone specific and not leave it to chance. read more

Ashley D is the best! My son is very comfortable with her doing his hair for long time, not one but more than 5th time!

Really nice place and staff but... just look at the pics. Have to get it fixed elsewhere read more

Alex has been my go to barber for years. She's always a delight to talk to and treats me like a friend. She gives great styling advice and always knows how to tame my big hair. read more

Never ever going back. 2 bad experiences in a row. Ruined my son's hair 10 days before he starts 6th grade. They also don't worry about anything like customer service or making small talk. Could not be angrier over choosing to return to this place. Never again read more

Ashley D is the best! Always easy to book, the people are friendly, and I need more characters to post!

I usually get solid haircuts at Birds on South Congress, but I recently moved up north and had to try the location off 183 and Anderson Mill. This dude named Jake really messed me up I even pointed it out, and he basically just rushed me out of the chair. Later that night at my gigs, my bandmates started pointing out how uneven and rough the back of my hair looked without me even saying anything first. I even tipped the guy, and now I honestly feel like I just got played. read more

Bird's checks all the boxes for a quality barber shop. And, the ultimate factor - the barber - is my primary reason for the 5 star review! Dalton is a pro! Highly skilled, considerate of my needs and has a very professional but fun demeanor. Birds is lucky to have Dalton on their team and I'm lucky to have him on my (modest) hair challenges! read more

I got a haircut here and was pretty sad. Lady didn't care to make sure I got what I wanted and that's a shame

I am very disappointed with my experience at this location yesterday. I drove half an hour because a stylist at this location listed they did what I wanted. I was unaware it wasn't what I wanted until much later that day because of the product in it and being combed back. The parts I asked her to cut short are still long, but cut unevenly. The part I asked her to keep long is now short and box shaped and my sideburns are oddly pointed. I've been growing my hair out for almost 4 months for this haircut with the intention of keeping my curls. I asked for texture and the stylist cut off my curls. I have an appointment at the end of this week, but I'm going to have to drive an hour away to the South Austin location and pay another stylist who does the same cuts hoping she can fix it. read more

Sarah always does an excellent job on my hair The staff is excellent and always helpful read more

They gave me a buzz cut and a hot towel neck shave for the same price that most places charge for just the buzz cut. The stylist also has a lot of attention to detail and thoroughness. read more

I took a mobility-impaired friend to Birds to get a haircut and beard-trim from his usual stylist, Ashley D. A massive thunderstorm popped up during the appointment and it was raining hard by the time Ashley was finished. Her next client had not arrived yet, so Ashley graciously volunteered to help me get my friend back to the car. This took several minutes to accomplish due to his mobility challenges. Doing all this in a torrential downpour ensured we were all soaked by the time we were done. My buddy and I were gobsmacked by Ashley's good deed. Not only is she a great stylist; she's an even better human being! read more

Got a haircut with Ashely A. instead of Ashley D. :( First off she was late by like 7 minutes and I was early. Begrudgingly called my name out twice without making eye contact and I realized I was in for some trouble. Going to the barbershop is like going to the dentist for me. I've never have had good experience until I had my first cut with Ashely D. Sat down and she asked me if I knew here since I requested for her to cut my hair which made me feel like should not have booked her? I mentioned that there must be two Ashely's here and she made it seem like I was wrong but then after making me feel that way she spoke up and mentioned how she has been with birds for 6 years and the other Ashley only 6 months. I asked for a 1 inch left on the sides and she confused me by talking about her clippers and the sizes which I've never had anyone deliberately talk about their supplies but seems like I needed a lesson on what clippers and what sizes are. She then mentioned that I was wrong asking for 1 inch on the sides and that maybe I meant I wanted a scissor cut which I just agreed to disagree with her. She was very conflicted driven and I just wanted a proper cut without all the verbiage and having to know what a barber knows. She gave me a straight cut and argued with me when I mentioned I'd like to have the back tapered up more in which she mentioned I didn't ask for that. But from the jump when I asked for something I got told I was using the wrong terminology and blah. I'll come back but I will make sure I go with the other Ashley who listens and respects people. I don't need to be talked down to or feel uncomfortable. read more

Natalie is amazing! She just seems to understand my hair and what I'm wanting. I've got wavy hair that seems to confuse stylists. A friend (whose hair is very different from mine) recommended her and I'm so glad she did. Important note: something with the online scheduling was screwed up so I couldn't find a time then her to schedule online. If this happens, CALL IN to request an appointment with Natalie. read more

While I didn't get a chance to speak with the managment, (they did not have my email) I did notice that I was refunded. Thank you for the after care read more

Nancy did a great job. Wonderful Stylist. Made a quick appointment this morning and they fit me in and I am very pleased with the results. read more

Each time that I receive a haircut from this establishment it was always great. I was able to describe what I wanted and was always satisfied at the end. The vibe was laid back and they played great music. read more

Let's face it, finding a new barber is daunting. There's 1000 places you can get your haircut and 1000 reasons to put it off. Well folks, that was me counting those 1000 reasons for five years when I bought a 100 dollar pair of clippers during the pandemic and made it happen and enjoyed the extra couple bucks my genius hair lobbing skills saved. However reason 1001 hit and I bit the bullet and went to Birds. Glad I did. Sydney was super rad and receptive to exactly what I wanted, gave helpful insight on what they thought would work and more importantly why, while also keeping my ideal cut in mind. Front desk was super kind and courteous and a super clean environment. I came out with a great cut and a great experience. I'll be coming back. read more

Sunny D at the 183 location is amazing! She is the first stylist to actually listen to my son and give him exactly what he wanted... and he looks great! I've never seen him smile so big after a haircut. Sunny gave him a skin fade with the unique styling he asked for. And she really understands curly hair! Thank you, Sunny! read more

My sons regular barber wasn't available so we found Birds Barbershop on yelp based off their reviews and also a friends recommendation. Both my son and my daughter got cuts and we couldn't be more thrilled . Very patient and friendly staff that did a phenomenal job . The kids loved the atmosphere and environment so much that now they wanna know when their next hair cut appointment is . Highly recommend and we will definitely be back ! read more

Barbers are fun, and super friendly. Still no beard trimming the last time I went but I understand, got to stay masked up. read more

Amazing place! The people are so kind and welcoming. I've never felt at home at a salon or barbershop before, especially as a trans non-binary person. The people working seem very relaxed and confident. The haircuts are amazing. They're not afraid to actually give me the cut I want just because they think I need to look "girly" lol. Last time they even shaved my neck and used a hot towel, which was really nice. And there's games, beer, lollipops, and cute stickers every time! read more

Misha was fantastic. It had been over a year since my last hair cut and I had really let it go. She made me feel super comfortable and really made a point to clarify and understand the cut I wanted. She did an amazing job, and I left her chair feeling like a million bucks. Thanks SO much Misha!! Also a huge shoutout to the front desk staff, they are always so kind and welcoming. I love coming to this location. read more

I highly recommend Tana! My haircut came out perfect. I usually struggle to find a good barber whenever I relocate to a new area. But Tana did a great job! She knew exactly what I was looking for. I would definitely be going to her as long as I'm within the area. read more

Yes fast service and a professional cut for my son. Only took about 15 min. Cost a little high but friendly hip staff. Will return.

I got my first haircut from Raven sometime during the pandemic when my hair had gotten longer than ever before. I was planning on going short again but she encouraged me to try a new style and embrace the longer, curlier hair. I gave it a shot and she did an amazing job. I've staid with her and she has made some modifications to my hair along the way but her commitment to listening to what I'm wanting and guiding me to something better is always on point. I'll be a loyal Bird's customer as long as Raven keeps styling my hair! read more

Sunny was so great! She really took the time to figure out what would be best for my kid and he was so appreciative. It looks great and we'll definitely be back! read more

I highly recommend booking at this location. Particularly with Sydney who has good attention to detail, listens closely, and always does great work. Olive at the front desk is also personable and kind. read more

This is a great place for an affordable cut! I've been coming to Norma and Steph for about 6 months and they are both pretty awesome. I get so many compliments on my cuts from my friends and family to random strangers. It's kind of an urban barber shop that has a cool vibe and beer while you wait. I'm typically in and out in about 30 minutes. The downside is that you have to call same day to get on the wait list, but I just heard that they've introduced a new app that lets you make an appointment the night before and eventually you should be able to make an appointment seven days out. I'm super stoked because it will take away the anxiety of having to call right when they open the day I want a cut. If you go by tell Steph or Norma that Wes sent you! read more

Had my car booted in the parking lot.Had to pay $100 to have it removed. The spot I parked in was unmarked and the full time parking attend didnt bother to let me know it was restricted parking, even though he did say he "followed me" after I parked there. I wouldnt mind paying a fee if it had been clearly marked(I wouldnt have parked there if it had been). The full time parking attend could be used to charge people up front to park their. Instead of allowing people to park there, following them down the street, then returning to boot the car. I Really feel like the owner is purposely Scamming people. If you dont want people to park there a few signs would be cheaper than paying for a full time Parking attendant who does nothing but disable cars and then collect $100 buck from the unsuspecting car owners. read more

Tip: don't just assume any stylist at Bird's can cut your hair. Made an appointment for anyone to cut my mid length hair. Not picky, hair is hair. Asked for shoulder length, stylist recommended a little shorter. I said sure. She gave me a cut that barely covers my ears. It's also totally uneven. She literally said "well, fake it til you make it" as she led me to checkout. Yikes!! Never again! read more

Went to birds to get my son a fade. Got a decent cut but not a tight fade like I asked for. People are friendly but this place has a "Great Clips" vibe for barbers IMO. Not bad overall. read more

I haven't had a haircut in quite a long time. I was looking for a big summer change and scheduled my appointment here. My barber not only didn't do any of the things I requested, but left a raging cowlick in the back. Great atmosphere, but learn a bit about who you want to cut your hair first! read more

Chelsea was is amazing-- she took all of my ideas and gave me a great cut! Best one I've had for a long time. Thank you!
