This was my first visit to this barber shop. If you are looking for a no-frills men's haircut without all of the pressure to buy hair products, this is the place. I got a great haircut with a razor neck shave for $20.00 cash. Credit cards are not accepted. I plan on returning again. read more

Great haircut at a reasonable price from a true professional. Old school barber shop. No appointments - just walk in.

This was my third trip to Henry's. I should have stopped at two. Today I told him to leave the back long, just taper it. He got out his buzzers and cut off three inches. Now it looks like a 1940 bowl cut and I look like a monk. Going to take a year from my life to look decent. IDK what's wrong with the man, either he can't hear or he doesn't care. Either way... Avoid this place. read more

Henry's Barber Shop - Who would want this on their head? - Barbers Near Me - Houston, Texas

Only have been once so far but was spot on and great conversation while there. Wish I had found this place sooner!!

Henry is the kind of quality barber that is hard to find these days. He is friendly and does a great job for only $19. If you want to go to a neighborhood barber shop that ignores the frills and gives you great service and a great haircut for less, do not hesitate to try Henry's. read more

My first Yelp review of 2019 is about this super cool establishment along busy Richmond in or near Montrose. Henry's stands out among barber shops in that it opens at 7 a.m. That's right. If you need a haircut before work or school, this place will gladly hook you up at the break of dawn. Moi needed a zero guard fade in the worst way prior to a meeting for work so that was how I found myself here at a little after 9 a.m. today. Both Henry and Luis are really friendly and laidback. It was Luis who shaved my head, and he did a superb job. My chrome felt better afterwards. Safe to say, $15 well spent. I think I found me a new favorite barbershop. read more

Great, no frills, low cost, high quality barber shop. My husband has been getting his hair cut there for a bit and it always looks great. We took our two year old for a haircut at Henry's and we're a bit worried because our son can be fidgety. We had to bring a tablet to keep him occupied, but once we figured out how to keep him cool everything was great. Definitely the best haircut my kid Has ever had. read more

Did a great hair cut on my husband! Will be our go to from now on. We usually go to a super fancy place in river oaks but this is much better at 1/4 the cost. read more

I went to this establishment for the first time today for an emergency haircut and Henry did an amazing job! Great prices, great service and friendly barber! Highly recommend! Cash only though so make sure you hit the ATM before if you need to! read more

My new go-to barber shop. Have been there twice now and both times they were able to get started immediately. The people that work here are fantastic and make you feel right at home. Received the best haircut I've ever gotten in my life for half of what I usually pay for a haircut. Couldn't recommend this place more. read more

I love this barbershop. It is open now during the pandemic. I have been a customer since 1997 and this is a great traditional barbershop. Henry has had the shop since 1999 and worked for it for a couple of decades before that. He took over from Martin who founded the shop in 1956. In the 1980's they welcomed people who had AIDS when many other shops would not do so. They have always been GLBT friendly and non-judgmental staying true to their mission of helping all men look their best. I highly recommend them. read more

I made my first visit to this shop today, as a walk-in, about 30 minutes before closing. Both chairs had customers so if they took me, someone was staying past 5 pm. They said yes, and Luis finished first so I got him. He took his time with my cut, which i really appreciated after his 10-hour day on his feet. It came out great, and I will be back. The price is right ($15, plus tip), the place is just what you expect of an old school barbershop (they use a straight razor and hot shaving cream for the neck), and the location is perfect for me. I also love that they open at 7 am for those folks who need that. Bonus tip: Poke your head into the refurbished boots place next door for a throwback craftsman. read more

Great attention to detail and awesome staff. Old school feel with quality and a modern touch.

Moved to Houston a year ago and this place is by far the best haircut I've had since living here. I normally get a high zero cut with a half inch fade to the top, this guy hit the mark perfect and did it quickly ! read more

Henry's Barber Shop - Barbers Near Me - Houston, Texas

There is a very old saying, "How do you get to Carnegie Hall?" The ubiquitous answer is not the address, but "Practice, practice, practice!" "Where do I get a good haircut in Houston?" The answer is, "Richard, Richard, Richard!" Just a few blocks west of Richmond and Montrose lies Henry's Barber Shop, and that is exactly where you will find Richard. I got so frustrated going to hair cutteries that offered coupons, and I kept trying, and you know the famous quote, that insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. I never got the result I was looking for! On the advice of three friends, I finally decided to try Richard, or Dick, he answers to both. I felt like Brigham Young upon seeing that celestial valley in Utah when he claimed, "This is the place!" At this barber shop you won't get soused on your favorite liquor. There aren't scantically-dressed girls with tequila shots. At this barber shop you won't find any gimmicks, because the only thing you are going to get here is: QUALITY. I have seen Richard cut many men's heads, and there are no two haircuts alike. There are, by the way, four great gimmicks: A scissors. A comb. An electric razor. A straight edge razor. After Richard completes the cut you asked for, he will put a very hot towel on your neck and behind your ears, and like frosting a cake, he apples very warm shaving cream. At this point you are secretly saying to yourself, "PLEASE don't let this end!" As all good things must come to an end . . . but wait . . . he isn't finished! After Richard shaves you like an Olympic skater on ice, and cleans you up with another hot towel, the crowning glory secretly awaits . . . Yes, there is more, but to find out, you will have to clean out your hard-earned dollars from your wallet, twelve, to be exact. Twelve dollars? This isn't the Galleria! This is your father's barber, and his father before, and possibly your son's. Thank goodness that in the age of gimmicks, and keeping up with Jonses, there is still a touch of "back in the day," right here, right now. His name is, Richard, Richard, Richard. Forget about Carnegie Hall. Remember Richard. read more

I couldn't ask for something for something else. I set down and got out with in 15 min. Extremely welcoming establishment with minimal hassle. The haircut was 14 dollars. I'd definitely come back. I'm looking from a barber to be efficient and fast. This is what I got. read more

In from out of town and needed a trim before having to go to work and he was open. Solid barber and would definitely come back.

Located in an unassuming strip mall, Henry's offers friendly service at an affordable price. I explained the cut I was looking for (scissors all over, tapered on neck) and the barber nailed it! read more

I officially got the worst haircut, ever, at this place. I love independent barber shops where you can chat up your barber in a relaxed atmosphere. This definitely seemed like that kind of place. All good so far. But then my barber got out the razor... I ended up with both ears cut and a cut near my hairline behind my ear. I sorta understood. I use a straight edge razor at home and have cut myself a few times, no biggie. But it seemed to take my barber a few minutes to realize what had happened and I could feel the blood streaming down my neck. I notified him of the situation and he finally grabbed some alum to stop the bleeding. OK, I thought I'd give the old fellow some slack. He apologized and said he shouldn't have used a new razor. But then I got home and my wife pointed out that the hairline on the back of my neck was crooked. That's it, I'm never going there again! I'm guessing Henry wasn't the one who cut my hair, so it may be worth asking for him specifically. read more

the short end of things: extremely awful and absolutely disappointing. bad for people with glasses, bad for people who know what they want, bad for anyone who could possibly want a haircut beyond what a child could do with clippers. don't make the mistake i made, don't come here the long side of things: i came by because there were high reviews and i like straight and to the point barbers. i have moved to the neighborhood recently and needed a new go-to barber. i asked for a high fade and a beard trim. i pointed to where on my head i wanted the fade and showed a picture and explained very clearly what i wanted for a trim as well as the whole thing. what i ended up with was a high bowl cut and a mangey beard with way less than i intended. i'm unable to follow closely how bad the barber is ruining my hair because i have to take my glasses off during it and there's a certain amount of trust exercised by men with bad vision to the people cutting their hair. i hoped i could tell them what i wanted and receive just that without having to walk them through a simple process. where i thought age and experience could bring quality i was wrong, they minced a fade into a bowl cut and a beard trim into bald spots. all i wanted was to clean up for the holidays but now i look like a mess, far worse than i did going in. i had to trim off my entire beard because of how badly they messed up. i only wanted a simple haircut and now i have the edgy stylings of the yesteryear, i'm beyond mad about all of this and it has turned every day into a bad hair day. my day was ruined when i got it and now i look like a clown for christmas so there goes the holidays. please don't make the mistake i made, don't go here. i'm not joking, don't go here. read more

See all

The barber shop is clean and uncluttered. The people are very friendly. If you are looking for a great cut and at a reasonable price this is a place to go. Dick takes care of my hair, beard and all those stray hairs we seem to find. I love a barber that uses a straight razor on my hair line, and Dick does. I have had my hair cut by Dick for many many years, thumbs up! read more

Been going since 2006. No better place to sit down and get a quick cut without having to explain how you want your cut every time. Highly recommend. read more

Great haircut! I didn't have enough in my wallet so he let me run home and pay him when I came back.

A barber shop in the "old school" tradition. I wanted a trim and that's what I got along with a very pleasant visit with Luis and Mr. Henry. This what I want in a barber and his shop. Very satisfied. read more

Great barber shop that spends time on every customer. Even offered a free straight razor shave my first time. If you are looking for a good haircut without paying an arm and a leg, this is the place. read more

My 82 year old Dad was completely impressed! It's hard to find a good ol fashioned Barber these days!

I have been going to Henry's for well over 10 years, and I think I have found 2 mistakes in over 10 years. Both times I went back and he gladly and apologetically fixed them. Being former military and current law enforcement, I am VERY picky about my haircut... A very close and PERFECT military high-n-tight. A GREAT place to go and chit chat about darn near anything you want. And one of his best co-workers of all time, Dick, is now back!! I have ZERO complaints about either of these guys. I'm very sad to be moving out of state, as I loathe having to search for a new barber. I'm also proud to call both Henry and Dick my friends. read more

Louis nailed it. This was the fifth barber shop I've tried since coming down here. If you want a glass of whiskey with hair clippings in it, go someplace else. If you want a decent cut lined up with a straight razor at a great price ($14 at time of posting), this is a good spot. read more

Been going to Dick who was formerly at Dougs in the heights for almost a year now. He recently moved to this shop and I love it because it is closer to where I live. He alwayd gives a great cut and straight razor the neck and side burns. Not to mention the head and shoulder massage afterwards! Woukd definitely recommend going to Dick if you want an exceptional haircut and experience! Oh and did I mention the cuts are only $12!!!!!! read more

I followed Dick from Doug's Barbershop on 11th to Henry's Barbershop on Richmond for one simple reason. Dick, after a few flawless haircuts a few years ago, knows exactly how you want your hair cut. He does both scissor and clipper cuts with absolute expertise. Dick should be working at one of those over the top expensive salons, that charge a fortune. Henry's is $12. I give him $20., and I walk away thinking I should have paid more for his talent. read more

Henry's is indeed wonderful... and extremely reasonable to boot.

Shame on me for going twice! Worst cut ever!! A place for very old men that can't see!

I've been going to Henry's every month for about the last six months. Each time I go in I'm very satisfied with their work. Both barbers will get you in and out and looking nice. Most importantly, they finish your cut with a one blade razor and some shaving cream to even off the ends. It's well worth the $13. Enjoy! read more

Straightforward no-frills barbershop experience - unfortunately one of the last of its kind inside the Loop. Henry is a reliable barber who has chosen to stay the course, translating into best-in-class value for someone like me who wants a basic razor cut every 2 weeks. Not intended for those who normally pay top dollar for a GQ-spa experience involving free cocktail, pool table, wi-if, hipster publications, etc. Here you can snag a free piece of bubble gum and possibly a section of today's Chronicle while watching low-def TV. Can't beat it for $14 + tip. read more

Went in this Saturday morning to get a haircut by Mr. Henry. After reading the reviews, I went into the barbershop mindset on getting my haircut by Dick, but I thought to myself -- let's give Henry a try. He is a super nice fellow and I could tell he has had years of experience. He did miss a couple hairs on my neck which I shaved off when I got home, but other than that, he did a fantastic job. I am sure Dick is just as good. The difference, I think, between the two is, Dick is a little more "modern" with his haircutting technics. Henry still does some straight razor work, which I like. Overall, very nice barbershop! read more

One of the things I hate in big cities is how tough it is to find no-fuss places for simple things like hair-cut. Thankfully, Henry's Barber Shop is right next to where I work. I have been there quite a few times and never returned unsatisfied. Btw, did I tell you that the prices are still from 90's - 12 dollars. Highly recommended! read more

Why bother asking me how I want my hair cut if you're going to do something completely different, including changing which side I part my hair? Patchy and uneven. Could've done a better job myself with clippers. read more

Nice Barbershop! And Louis is a really good Barber, it's my first time there, I got a satisfying haircut.

Great barbershop. Really nice guys. Very happy with my haircut. Definitely recommend.

For those of us who grew up going to small-town babershops, this place is like a step back in time. This is your basic neighborhood barbershop - no frills, just the best hair cut in town for the best price. The shop is spare, but comfortable, and the clientele is an interesting cross section of just regular guys. Owner Henry, personable and professional, gives the best hair cut I've ever had. read more
