More LIKE ZERO STARS! My husband came to get a haircut here before I retwist his dreadlocks and this barber named "Carter" clipped not one but 5 of his locs!!! The sad thing is my husband thinks it's his fault because he didn't question him more after he specifically asked Carter if he clipped his loc the FIRST time he did it! NOT OK! Being that I'm a Loc Stylist, when he came home and told me how the barber had to use scissors to cut his hair out of the clippers because it kept getting caught I knew right then his locs been clipped. To see that it was not just one, but FIVE makes me furious at the inconsideration this barber had for my husbands hair!!! Now it's one thing if it's an accident, but when my husband asks the barber CARTER and he tells him that is not the case, PROBLEM #1. Now this happened not one but FOUR more times! Which means 4 more opportunities to inform him that he clipped his locs and it was an accident. Which brings me to the next issue, he does not inform my husband AT ALL! Now with having the customers best interest in mind like professional establishments do, Carter decided instead of telling my husband he wasn't properly taught or experienced in cutting people with locs from the get go so he could go to someone who knew what he was doing, he just proceeds to bold face lied to my husband, took no responsibility but def took his money! No principles. It's apparent they don't value your hair like you will. YOU CAN'T TRUST PEOPLE LIKE THAT WITH YOUR HAIR AND THEY DEFINITELY DON'T DESERVE YOUR MONEY!!! I don't know about the other barbers but definitely do not go to CARTER if you have locs!!

I take my hair and the person who helps to maintain it very seriously. I have only had three barbers ever, and I have driver hours just to get a haircut from them every couple weeks. When I moved to Houston, it was my first priority. The barbers and atmosphere lives up to the fantastic reviews received. I was in a seat immediately. Not because they aren't booked but because they are about their business first and fun second. I've been in a chair for over an hour and half several times because a barber wants to take personal calls and pause to eat a bit. These individuals aren't like that. Your time is respected. The chops are clean. The care is brilliant.

First time taking my son here and the ABSOLUTE LAST TIME...barber by the name of Carter literally cut my son up!!! This is unacceptable!!! And paid $22.00 for this!!! If I could give a ZERO stars I would...THANKS CARTER...for the horrible fade and cuts on his face!!!

Clean, neat & efficient operation line ;-)

Walked in was never greeted. Sat down for a hour no one ever called me or asked if I wanted a cut, so I left. I won't be back here again.

I've been coming to Cutthroat Barbershop on Washington for a couple years now, and it's become my…read morego-to spot without question. From the moment you walk in, you just know you're in a good barber's hands--and that you're going to walk out looking sharp. I've been seeing Danny for a while now, and what I appreciate most is the trust I've built with him. I'm not just coming in for the same old cut every time--I feel comfortable enough to let him do whatever he thinks will work best, whether it's a seasonal update or just something new. He's got a great eye, and I always leave looking clean and confident. The shop itself is in a super convenient location right off Washington Ave, with a solid-sized parking lot (rare in this area!). It's also right next to Catalina Coffee and Dark Horse Tavern, so whether you need a quick pick-me-up or a drink before or after your cut, it's all right there. Cutthroat even offers a complimentary drink before your service, which is a nice touch--even though I'm usually rolling in last-minute and don't take full advantage. All in all, it's a laid-back but professional spot with real barbers who know what they're doing. Highly recommend.

Been coming here for years and always use the same barber, who is fantastic at what he does and…read morevery personable but also understanding on the occasions that I'm not feeling as chatty. As others have mentioned, they are pretty rigid when it comes to tardiness so....don't be late. Just as an adult and as a general rule, don't be late. Leave early and allow for unexpected delays to arise, this is Houston after all. If you're 15 minutes early, you're on time. If you're on time, you're late. They offer free beverages to enjoy while you wait for your appointment to begin, these vary from local beer to whiskey. If you're interested, you may need to request it, not all of the receptionists proactively offer but it is included. Not a bad offering and is appreciated as these aren't the cheapest services you'll find, but they're in-line with other moderately upscale men's barbershops ($40 beard trim etc) and my experiences have always proven worth it.

I walked into this establishment 14 years ago a mere civilian. I have walked out a Greek god carved…read morefrom marble every single time since. The barbers at this shop don't cut hair. They sculpt destiny. Every snip of the scissors is a conversation between artist and canvas. I'm pretty sure I heard angels harmonizing the first time I got hit with a fade here. My wife looked at me when I got home and said "who are you?" Not because I looked different. Because I looked like the man she always hoped I'd become. Carlos built this place, and whatever dark sorcery he's teaching back there, it's working. This man has assembled an entire roster of assassins. I've sat in multiple chairs at this shop over the years, and every single one of these barbers is cut from the same legendary cloth. You could walk in blindfolded, sit in any chair, and walk out looking like you were put on this earth to be photographed. I made the catastrophic error of going somewhere else last month due to a scheduling conflict. I have never known such betrayal -- and I did it to myself. That barber cut my hair like he was mad at me. Like my head had personally wronged his family. I spent three weeks looking like a wish.com version of myself. Never again. I would drive through a hurricane to walk into this shop. I would wade through floodwaters. I would cancel a meeting with the Pope. If they relocated to the middle of the Sahara Desert, I would simply begin walking. If you are reading this and you are not already in one of their chairs, you are wasting your life. Five stars. Would give six but Yelp is a coward.

Making a reservation is straight forward but the menu can be a bit confusing especially if you are rocking the bald. (Half Shave and Straight razor with basic trim). Each station has their own unique vibe even though they are rocking the same color smocks but it reminds me a collection of distinguished gentleman and it works!

Fantastic vibe and service!…read more I've been considering a new barber for a few weeks. I read all the great reviews as well as the not-so-great ones, and I am always impressed with leaders who take accountability for the customer experience. Ryan's comments made me feel secure in trying out the shop. Making the appointment was seamless. They use a common scheduling app called SQUIRE, and I was able to get an appointment with Ryan. The shop is aesthetically fantastic. Very old-school in design and decor, which I like. It fits perfectly in the neighborhood, which adds to the charm. The energy in the room, however, is something that I rarely see. The team and the customers are on an entirely different level of coolness than I'm used to, and the experience was terrific. Ryan and I hit it off right away in terms of him understanding what I was looking for, and he exceeded my expectations. He listens well and asks strategically good questions. The service was timely and a good value for the price paid. I was watching one of the other barbers do a masterful job on another customer, and I feel confident that whoever I see in there will make me look (reasonably) impressive!
