Every barber here has worked their magic on my difficult head and somehow makes it look amazing every time. Don't let a line or a short wait scare you away--it's worth it. They have TVs, great music, refreshments, and the conversations are always hilarious. The atmosphere makes the time fly by. If you're in San Marcos, Kyle, Buda, or the surrounding area, do yourself a favor and stop by Gentlemen's Grooming . You'll get a great cut, great service, and probably a few laughs too. Highly recommend!

If you are looking for a Bro beating, this is your place…read more However, if you want a place that's safe for children and respects its customers, I would steer you clear. More often than not the banter revolves around lambasting of customers who are not present, topics inappropriate to young ears, or generally unprofessional concerns. Sadly, it is not just the employees who are disrespectful. Now, it may be that I have too high of expectations of a largely overpriced barbershop? ‍ I was a loyal customer for years, stepping through a number of barbers year over year. However, it has clearly gone downhill since the shift in ownership. And such loyalty is no longer deserved or appropriate. I saved myself $20 by going elsewhere for the same services and a far better environment!

I moved to Austin a year ago and it's been a challenge to find someone to cut my hair. Not that…read morethere aren't great places... but it's just finding that one where you click with the person and you want to keep going back. And with Amy here at Nines Men's Grooming... I have found that place! I don't have much hair, but that doesn't mean I don't want it to look good. I've been to several places throughout Austin; some places had me in and out of their chair in what seemed like seconds. Other places just gave me the impression I was in the wrong place and others were just "ok". I came across the "Nines" reviews and figured, I'll give another place a try. And one of the hardest things is who to pick to cut your hair. I randomly picked Amy but clearly that was a great choice. I'm sure everyone working here does amazing work, but I was fortunate to choose Amy. She is very friendly and was ready the minute I walked in the door. Very accommodating, she offered me water, soda, beer... I just had the water but I think next time I'll enjoy a drink! Before I moved to Austin, I had been going to the same person for years so it was very easy. All I had to do was make an appointment and she knew exactly what to do. I'm one of those who prefer the person cutting to give me suggestions on what they think would look good and Amy was more than happy to offer suggestions. I wanted to cover up a little gray and it had been months since my last haircut and it was looking pretty shaggy so I needed a complete "overhaul". Amy seemed to understand what I was looking for and made some recommendations which I went for. The haircut was enjoyable; I've had other people who are sometimes a bit careless but Amy is very gentle and thorough. When it came to the coloring... again, she took the lead. I had complete trust in her and she used a color she felt would look best and it was perfect! And at the end, she did the neck shave which is so underrated. It took awhile but I have found a great place to get my hair taken care of and hopefully I can keep going to Amy.

Twice I've gone in to see Katie $80 lost and wasted. First visit she didn't cut it short enough but…read moreanother lady had been waiting so I left. Came back two days later to get it fixed but Katie was out for 8 weeks. So today I went back and brought the photo of exactly what I wanted. She kept saying she saw it once and that was enough. She kept cutting shorter and shorter so I kept saying it's getting too short .... to look at the photo Katie said she WOULD NOT finish the cut and I was free to leave. I asked for her license which was not on the wall. She refused to show me. Today I will be reporting her to the State ... So 8 weeks and $80- still no better off ‼ I would definitely NOT RECOMMEND this salon.

I had an absolutely terrible experience with this barber. From the moment I sat down, it felt like…read morehe was more focused on rushing me out of the chair than actually giving me a decent haircut. Before starting, I showed him photos of exactly what I wanted: a clean high bald fade. I even told him it was totally fine if he didn't want to take it all the way down to the skin if he didn't have the right tools. Instead of listening, he rushed through the entire cut and then had the nerve to tell me, "This is what you get in 30 minutes." At one point he literally showed me a timer he had set for 30 minutes like that somehow justified the quality of the haircut. Then he said if I wanted a better blend I should have booked a beard trim too, which honestly felt like a cheap upsell after already paying a ridiculously high price for the haircut itself. The result? An absolutely terrible fade with harsh lines and almost no blending. It looks nothing like the photos I showed him. For the price he charges, I expected professionalism and basic attention to detail, not to be rushed through like I was on an assembly line. To make matters worse, when he used a straight razor on the back of my neck, he actually cut me multiple times. I left with small nicks and irritation back there, which is completely unacceptable. A straight razor should be used with care, not rushed like everything else during the appointment. I walked out feeling like I had been robbed and honestly embarrassed by how bad the haircut looks. If you value your money and don't want to leave looking like an idiot with a butchered fade--and possibly with cuts on your neck--I would strongly recommend going somewhere else.

I was searching for a new salon and Black Orchid was one of the first ones that came up. The…read morereviews seemed promising so I booked an appointment for yesterday with Maggie. I initially selected the "silent treatment" when booking since I'm not really one to talk to my stylists. But when I got there and sat down with Maggie, she INSTANTLY made me feel comfy and safe. She greeted and spoke to me as if I were an old friend, answered every question, and when I told her what I wanted, she asked follow up questions for details to ensure I got exactly what I was looking for. I didn't end up having a quiet appointment at all as we talked the whole time and I loved it. I cannot recomment her and BOS enough. The front desk staff was so kind and warm and welcoming, and as I already said, Maggie talks to you as if you're established friends. If you're an introvert looking for a chill but warm salon, this one is perfect
