LJ Barber Shop - Barbers Near Me - Austin, Texas

Solid no frills barber shop. They definitely are a fade oriented place but that's kind of what i do. I have straight hair and got the top trimmed pretty well too. Took 20 min. No wait on Sunday AM. $14. Prob cheaper than most places, but not so cheap you wonder about the hygiene (like the $6 cut I got by the 183 target wheresearching the wall for health department certificates) Update: Watch out for the older lady . I got a cut from her and it was painful. Blunt shear thing I think where it felt like she was plucking hairs out. And she cut it way shorter than I wanted read more

The barber made almost no attempt to understand any of what I wanted beyond the broadest description. She made a lot of decisions without asking, resulting in one of the worst haircuts I've had in years. She also had the chair facing away from the mirror, which made it harder to understand what she was doing. When I rotated myself to see, she silently rotated me back. I took a risk, knowing there would be a language barrier. I would only go here if you're not particular about how your hair is cut or think you'll be able to preemptively assert what you want and make it understandable. read more

You just never know what you are going to get with this place. The experience wildly varies. The original two barbers who I believe are a couple cut hair well. Occasionally they have other folks who cut hair or do something a drunk Edward scissorhands might do. If you like gambling, come on in and test your luck. read more

I enjoy the haircuts I receive from the owner. No b.s., no frills type of spot. I come in for the basic 'white guy cut', short on top- shorter fade on the sides. You guys get it, she gets it. I'll keep coming back. read more

If you are looking for a good fade, LJ Barbershop is the place to go. I have visited many Austin shops over the years, gotten good and bad haircuts, dealt with competent and flakey barbers, and visited designer and nefarious shops. Overall, I was disappointed with Austin's professional "fade" offerings. I am grateful I stumbled upon LJ Barbershop Yelp reviews because the shop's business is due to word-of-mouth and not overzealous advertising. Since January 2013, I have visited the shop, and each time, impressed by the consistent professionalism and the resulting fade. The shop is owned by LJ and her husband, and two other barbers now work there. LJ is a no-frills, simple, cash-only, closed-on-Tuesdays shop with savvy and skilled barbers who are fade perfectionist, meticulously checking and rechecking the under-$20 fade after the work is done. Visit LJ Barbershop and you won't be disappointed. read more

I love this place!!!! Great customer service, and great speed. They do have a new phone number! It's: (512)638-1067 read more

Basic fade is all they can do. Ask for anything else and guarantee to get a messed up haircut.

I took my son to get his hair cut, and I always wait for the guy cause the lady doesn't do good edge ups. While I'm waiting she tells me I'll cut his hair I said no I'm going to wait for the guy. She ends up saying do you see sign? I go what sign, and she points to a sign that says $2.00 more if you request. I looked at her and said that's fine I rather pay that then have you cut my son's hair especially when school starts monday. She got upset and walked to the back. I'm sorry but she messed my husband's hair up and I really don't want a repeat. She needs to calm down with that attitude if you request its more. Okay I will pay more than ! read more

The price of a haircut is good but they really don't put in their best effort. Quick 15 minute haircut just to get more people on the chair. Not worth it. read more

Since my move to Austin, I have searched far and wide for a Barber who knows how to give a proper fade (no LINES) and is consistent in doing so. So while I was waiting for my To-Go order from Kim Phung, I noticed that there was a Barber Shop right next door. The thing that caught my attention was the advertisement of a variety of hair cuts, which included "BALD FADES". At that moment, I knew that I had to give it a shot and it just so happened that I needed a haircut. After I told the Barber what I wanted, he worked his magic for about twenty minutes and I walked out of there a happy camper. I have had four cuts there since then and I have yet to be disappointed. The only complaint that I have as of right now is that they only take cash, but other than that, you will come out looking good. read more

I've been going to multiple barbershops and salons recently and found this place to be my favorite. I just happen to drop by after grabbing some dinner next door. I had my cut done by the lady (didn't her name) and it was quick and easy. But she took her time to perfect it. I'm a no frills kinda guy really like the result. Now I'm going to go stand next to a blowing fan and lip sync to beyonce. read more

Any type of fade you can think of... they do it for cheap and with precision!

She got very aggravated with me and was incredibly rude, worst experience ever. Showed her a picture of a undercut, she was very argumentative about doing it and fighting the customer. I asked if i could taper the back of my hair down after I decided I didn't want the true undercut with no tapper on it, she yelled and companied and tried to make me feels stupid because it was different than the first pic. Duh, I know its different its ok to be flexible. change the name of the place to Rude Chinese Ladies Barber shop so people know what they are getting into when they walk in Just cut the hair how they ask, stop being so damn rude. I read on here the old man was good and didn't talk much. Wish I had him. Both of those ladies need to shut up and stop arguing with customers. read more

I read the previous poster's review and decided to give it a try. I told the barber what I wanted, and 15 minutes later I had just what I asked for. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone who likes a bald fade! Cash only, so be sure to stop by the ATM first. read more

Wish I would have found this place sooner. For a year and a half I went all over town to every over priced barber shop/beauty salon I could find in search of a decent fade, failing miserably in every attempt, before I finally stumbled upon this gem by chance. It's a bit out of the way and they only accept cash, but that's a small price to pay for knowing you've got a clean fade. Speaking of small price, did I mention the cuts were cheap? No? Well they are. You can spend upwards of 25 bucks at other places with a fraction of the fade giving ability, or you can hit this spot up with less than 20, get a cut, give a tip, and still have change. Not to mention the staff is friendly as can be. read more

Just moved in to Austin and been looking for a great place for a haircut, it 's a great place and it was fast. They did an awesome cut, my only thing is that I asked for the price before ($14) then when they were done it turn out to be ($23) so that was a bit awkward specially that I only had $20 cash (only cash place). But the cuts are good. read more

Been going to this place every 2 weeks for almost 4 years now. For $12 its well worth it!! Everyone waits for L and he's definitely awesome but J is awesome too! They both got skills! HIGHLY recommend this place you won't be disappointed! read more

I had the misfortune of getting a walk-in haircut at this place after eating at a nearby restaurant. The first sign of trouble was that despite two other people waiting, no one was actually manning the chairs. One of the other patrons had to inform me that the proprietors were "on break". It struck me as somewhat unprofessional for both barbers to be on simultaneous breaks while customers waited. However, this is minor compared to what would happen next. After about 15 minutes a man and a woman emerged from the back. Eventually I was invited into the woman's chair. I requested a "standard haircut, not too short". In response, the lady barber stared at me with what can only be described as a bovine expression. Thinking perhaps there was a language barrier, I repeated my request slowly. Again the profoundly confused stare. I tried to provide additional, more specific instructions, but the confused facial expression continued. My instincts told me to get up out of the chair and walk out the door, but I was in denial that someone employed at a barbershop could fundamentally misunderstand the concept of an ordinary haircut. I should have listened to my instincts. This incompetent barber continued to give me the worst haircut of my life. She attempted to do some strange things like cut really close around my ears, but leave most of the hair on top, producing a kind of mushroom effect. She left a disproportionate amount of hair in the back for some reason, even though I specifically requested tapering. To this date I still cannot understand how someone can work for a barbershop, but have absolutely no clue about a standard haircut. The next day I went to a proper barber, who was just us puzzled at the strange workmanship of the incompetent lady. I should add that I can't speak for the male barber, I noticed the other two patrons gravitated towards him, perhaps he is better, but the woman was absolutely horrible. I don't like giving local businesses a bad review, but this one is very much deserved. read more

If you have waves in your hair DO NOT ENTER!! I Made the mistake of coming into this barber shop this morning. I asked the woman to do a simple all even cut. She started to cut in an uneven motion at that point I should of left. Next thing I know she Damn near cut me bald. OK now I'm pissed I was ready to leave but still needed my edge up. She completely screwed up, all her lines where uneven, I now have a patch missing on the left side. When I saw it I asked to fix it and her reply was she didn't know how. Really? How are you a barber and don't know how to edge up properly? When I got home I noticed the line up in the back is uneven as well I had to pull out a razor to fix the MISTAKES she made. If you want to over pay for something Hellene Keller could of done better then go here. But if you care bout your hair and time keep driving and find someone ANYONE better then her. ( the guy who works there is a little bit better then her but not by too much.) read more

If your looking for a fade. The older gentleman is your best choice. He doesn't talk very much but he cuts it up right, usually no more than 10 min for a fade. read more

I've been coming here for the last 7 years and am never unsatisfied leaving this place. The employees are also great with my son (4 years old). Before coming to LJ, i tried random barber shops in Austin and have been disappointed. I recommend this place to anyone needing a haircut via clippers, scissors, or a razor they can do it all. read more

Best barbers in town. Hands down. They're a little off with their English but still they can understand what you're saying.. If you come here make sure to be specific and patient. These are people trying to make a living too. They're good people and they run a damn good business. read more

I enjoy getting my haircut here because LJ has a vacuum hose attached to the clippers. Not many places do this but it helps reduce the "neck itch factor" post haircut immensely. I learned to say "Hello" and "Goodbye" in Korean because I appreciated their attentiveness to detail on my fade. read more
