Do not go here. If you ask for a specific haircut you end up with the total opposite! The request was for a low tapper & little off the top. There WAS a lot of length. Came out with a crew cut. -- Typically you're supposed to feel better after getting a haircut, but you come out feeling worse. Simply for the fact that you get butchered. read more

Amazing cuts every time I go there I walk out feeling like a new man would highly recommend

HEAD HERE FOR HREAT SERVICE!!!!! I've gone here for a while now and they are unbelievable. It's like the equivalent of a woman going to the spa. They take their time and really pamper you. Obviously depends on what you want but I get my whole hair and face done. Hot towels, massage and a great hair cut. They are top notch!!!! read more

The service was of high quality. Amazing place to be. Waited about 5 minutes and boom, I am sitting in a chair getting a haircut. I was in the area and needed a haircut. They treat you like royalty. An amazing place and the vibe is just immaculate. It's a safe place and joy the entire time. Haircut is as perfect as can be. Thank you so much guys ! read more

Wow... an actual barbershop!!! awesome job... best in San Antonio great service and they even shoeshine!!! read more

This place is fantastic. I've been back and forth to SAT several years before moving here. Have been here several times. I've always just gone in for beard trims and everyone over the years has been just wonderful. The most recent time, a few days ago, a gentleman named Naz Helped me out....and he was epic. He made sure to ask me questions in order to understand exactly the look I wanted. Turned out great. Fast, pleasant and He was obviously very concerned that he GET me looking the way I wanted. I'll definitely be going back and asking for him. Naz even had soaps that he was selling that he said was good for beard hair, etc. Usually, I don't "fall" for people "peddling" things like that in those situations, but NAZ really seemed like he knew what he was talking about and I was so happy with my experience I bought a bar. Only been using it for a few days and I can tell you that I have seen a definite difference. Great GREAT SHOP! read more

I was between giving this place three stars and four, with the deciding factor being that I left with a good haircut. Pretty good fade, and attention to detail in my hard-part, plus a razor-shave on the neck and sides with a straight razor. Otherwise, pretty boring in delivery. I'm not sure if North Star was ahead of the curve of upscale "beer while you wait" barbershop trend, but otherwise it was pretty forgettable. I had made an appointment that didn't seem to matter, because I had a pretty lengthy wait. The staff seemed pretty set in their own pace, but it was easy to recognize they had regulars. I think the most disappointing part was my barber taking calls on a headset while cutting my hair. It makes good business sense, but it felt a little impersonal. The seating was a little tight, but overall acceptable. Not the total package I was hoping, considering how much the bill came out to be. Good, not great. read more

Find somewhere else! Dark and dingy environment. Not family friendly. Unprofessional. Parking is difficult. Attempted to make an appt. System was "new & not working". Called and they told us to walk in. We sat there for 1 hr. before anyone acknowledged our existence. Left without service. Read other reviews. Apparently this is a common practice. read more

Always a great experience- Sam and Vick can't be more pleasant and customer service oriented. I've been an in and out customer for years, it's unfortunate I'm not here enough to always stop by! Thank you all again for always taking care of me and my boy! read more

Walk ins welcome. The day I stopped no wait. I had beard trimmed Great work and would recommend.

So I had gotten my shoes shined here for a couple of years and decided I needed a haircut. The wait time was reasonable and the work was highly professional. I didn't get the cut I was used to from my regular barber, but when I looked in the mirror I realized it was a lot better for my age and retired status, and easier to care for. The shop is kind of far away from home so I haven't gone back for a cut, but my regular guys have been able to duplicate the good work. It was pricey but well worth the $$. And this is the place where my shoes are cared for better than I can do myself. read more

Great job, and welcoming. I look forward to my next hair cut with them. It is a little hard to find, it is inside the building for the car wash. The inside is nice and dark very cool. read more

Well, I found the place to cut my hair. Period. I talked to Moses on the phone and told him the sad tale of my terrible haircut that left me looking like Anton Chigurh (the dude from No Country for Old Men). He said he'd fix it, and he did just that. We talked about cars and in conversation, he told me he loves what he does. That's who I want cutting my hair; someone who cares, not some young tart with nothing to say and no experience with men's hair. read more

I called ahead and asked about a beard trim. The gentleman was professional on the phone and he informed me that I did not need an appointment, just walk in. I drove on over and proceeded to wait for 40 minutes before anyone acknowledged me. When they finally did acknowledge me the barber informed me he had an appointment and someone should be with me soon. Are you kidding me?! Why was I not allowed to make an appointment instead of wasting almost an hour of my time just to be told by the first barber to acknowledge me that they had an appointment. I had high hopes for this place but they most definitely were a disappointment and they hadn't even provided any service yet. I would not recommend this place based on professionalism alone read more

Amazing! Took both my boys, 2 years old and 4 years old and I was thrilled with how well they ladies worked with them. My two year old was a champ and didn't cry or fuss, just sat there and honestly looked like he was so relaxed he'd have fallen asleep! My 4 year old who absolutely hates having his hair cut, he freaked out but them bribed him (they asked if that was ok first) he had a sucker and an iPad and was content to make it through the haircut. Really impressed with how we were taken care of. Incredibly friendly staff. read more

I wouldn't go back here to get my hair cut again if they paid me $25. Unfriendly, inattentive, ill-prepared. The only person in the place that was interested in good customer service was the guy who operated the shoe shine stand. I'll go back to him. I was greeted by the shoe guy because two employees in the break room couldn't pull themselves away from their phones. In fact, the one I had an appt with never looked up from her phone, nor even said hello to me until we got back to her chair and she finished her text. She hadn't yet turned on all her equipment (at 2 in the afternoon), so I would have had to wait another 15 minutes (for it to warm up) after the hair cut to get some of the extra services done. She told me they had been in that location for 12 years. That's why they got a 2-star instead of a 1-star. I figured they must be doing something right. Perhaps they are no longer new and hungry for business. But they better renew their vigor because the competition is getting tough. Two new mind-range gentlemen's groomers are opening within 2 miles of my house: Henley's and Matador. There is probably one opening or just opened near you as well. Check them out before spending your money with Northstar Barber Shop on Loop 1604. read more

Amazing team, kind, friendly, excellent service! Highly recommend the boot shine! Happy customer!

I'm new to San Antonio and one of the troubles with moving is you have to find a new place to keep your cut look good. I've been around the area and just couldn't find the right person and I had to overpay for a couple cuts at trendy shops. I've been eyeballing the Northstar and was really starting to look like a Wookie, I'm talking about serious Wook on WSMFP tour and I've have been on the bus for awhile. Moses was the guy that I slid into his chair. Gave him an idea of what I wanted and he started cutting away. Handed me a Coors light, not a heady beer, but it was cold and I was hungover. Forty-five minutes later I was looking fresh, haircut, beard trim, eyebrows, ears, shave, the works. $30 bucks, I can live with that. They have a pool table, a lady give back massage for $1/min and this big dude had to be passed out because she was working him over and didn't move for a half-hour. Will go back! read more

Stopped by for a beard trim and neck shave. Was seen quickly by Naz, and received stellar service and a quality trim & straight razor shave for a good price. I highly recommend this place, and will be back soon. read more

I am not sure how this business stays open. I called on 5/13/19 at 5p and was told they closed early for a meeting. Today I showed up at 5p in person, (closing time was 6p), and CLOSED signs were up. I walked in and the guy said they closed early today. With all the competitive barber shops in the area, I'm not sure why I tried a second time. I took my business elsewhere: KnockOuts down the street. They did a great job!!! read more

Great place for a basic haircut - nothing fancy. Especially convenient while my car is being washed. And when your barber is done cutting your hair, they slip on their handheld electric massager and give you a complimentary neck message - the only problem was that I wanted it to last all day long. read more

My boyfriend went and got a haircut here and it seemed like the lady cutting his hair didn't know what she was doing. His hair looked awful after the cut long story short we had to go somewhere else to get his haircut. read more

This would have been my second haircut here. I checked on their website to see if they were open. The hours on the site had they were open till 5pm. I I live about 20 miles north of SA. Drove 40 minutes in Hwy 281 traffic to get a good haircut. I get there at 5 min to 4. I was then informed that they closed at 4. I get every business has a closing time. But when they have wrong info on their website,and he acknowledges that it was wrong, they should stand by it until it's fixed. I was very disappointed. If customer satisfaction is not a priority with a business, I find another place to go to. Very disappointed. read more

Moses is so great and patient with my son! He's 18 months and Moses does a great job on his hair! 5 stars all the way! read more

North Star Barber Shop - 5 star barber! - Barbers Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

NEVER AGAIN!!! I thought it was be nice to treat my bald husband to a straight edge shave. I called in 2 days before to make the appointment and was told that, that service was provided (the straight edge knife that is sharpened using leather). My husband went in for the services and was charge $35 to have his head shaved with a disposable razor. Similar to the ones sold at Walmart/Target. I could have done that at home for a fraction of the price. Please do not waste your time or money here!!! read more

DO YOU WANT PERFECTION? Then you need to come see these artist. I've been coming here for at least 5 years. The staff is absolutely amazing. They take walk- ins or you can call and set up your appointment. Oh did I mention they have snacks. Boom! Do yourself a favor and Go and see them! If you're a wife, have your dude's go and get seen...you'll be thankful. They'll make a hobo look like a hottie. Seriously GO! read more

A wonderful barbershop. Not a hair salon like so many places that say barbershop. Excellent straight razor shaves as well.

Go see Nicole, it will be the best decision you've ever made. When I first moved to San Antonio about three years ago I went through a slew of barbershops, all screwing up my hair, one right after another. Then I went to Northstar with Nicole on the advice of my friend and I haven't gone anywhere since. She's hands down the best barber I've ever been to and is very accommodating with schedules. She's taken me at 9 a.m., on my lunch breaks and even during emergency situations, fitting me in when she should be wrapping up her day. One bit of advice: Always call hours maybe even days in advance to get on her schedule because she's usually booked up-- for good reason. read more

I got a high fade with medium top. Very quaint little shop. I liked it. My barber did a great job but I didn't catch her name. Tall and brunette, she did great. For 25.00 you can't beat it read more

After 4 bad haircuts in a row, at other places, North Star Barber Shop was the answer. Showed the barber what I wanted and he replicated it without any problems. I would recommend them without question. read more

These guys pay close attention to what they are doing. Artist of their profession. Worth the wait.

If you want to get a good haircut definitely come here. Naz cut my hair and let me tell you he is good with a razor. I always get fades or tapers, he did an awesome job with a skin fade with a hard part. Since I am brand new to San Antonio he even gave me some advice on employment and what to do around San Antonio. $30 for a cut and a coots light not bad at all! read more

I was really nervous about trying a new barber after moving to San Antonio for college and I wasn't sure who to go to. I chose Northstar and was very glad I did. Naz did a great job for a nice clean gentlemen's cut and got me an appointment on short notice. Awesome barber that is worth every penny! read more

It'd have been 5 stars but I wait Soooooo long everytime I come in. Usually over an hour. Which if I'd have just walked in it be understandable but if I'm told to be here at a certain time an hour wait is just a bit annoying. But either way Moses does a great job and I can't go anywhere else now. My boyfriend and kids come here and their hair game is ON POINT! read more

I walked in not wanting anything fancy and was repeatedly very clear about what I wanted - just a little length taken off the top and clippers on the sides. No fade, no taper, nothing fancy, basically just 2 different lengths of hair with no transition. Despite me telling the stylist what I wanted repeatedly, I still ended up with a taper on one side which she did fix. However, after clipping the sides, she didn't go back in to the area between the short and long hair and make sure the lengths were distinct with scissors or trimmers. So I ended up with somewhat of a fade anyway. Perhaps the fact that she had her earbuds in and kept answering phone calls in the middle of the cut was causing her to miss my clear and repeated requests. She then trimmed one side of my mustache, then trimmed the other side shorter! Her suggested solution was to trim the other side shorter to match. The whole experience took twice as long as my old barber and was a far inferior cut for more money. Now I have to find someone else to fix all the small things she missed, which is going to cost me time and money. read more

Nicole is my official barber at this location. She is outstanding and a experience precise barber. I lately have been getting a razor high fade with a level two trim on top with a long hard part on the side. I will say my hair is not the easiest to cut since I am receding from the back and some areas on top. When Nicole finishes with my hair cut, you would never know I was receding. She is truly outstanding an a huge asset for North Star Barber. As well you cant beat a nice ole back massage after your hair cut. Outstanding service! Outstanding barber! read more

Excellent haircut. Take my word for it...worth the little extra you pay. $25 cut. Just moved here went to 3 other places that just didn't cut it (no pun intended). read more

Awesome place! Driving through San Antonio on vacation and found this place thanks to yelp. My husband had a great haircut!!
