Here you go, another great haircut from Todd! One of the best barbers, I always throw his name when I am asked for a good barber for kids or guys. Reasonable prices, convenient location, quick and nice service, and great result at the end. I dont do appointments, I usually call the same day and see if they have availability and I just go. After haircut I make a quick trip to MT market and grab banmi from the store across the parking lot. So it's always a productive trip for me. read more

Silkcut - Hair Salons Near Me - Austin, Texas

If I had a dollar for every minute wasted then I'd finally be able to pay off my student loans. They ask you to make reservation for specific time slot, and then when you come in, you're made to wait for another 30-40 mins while they take others who walk in. If they're not busy they're fine but if they are busy their operations is worse than something designed by a high schoolers. read more

My go to for haircuts in Austin. I get a basic haircut once a year, cut about 4-5 inches off each time, sometimes get layers and other times not. I ask for Trisha, she is not there every day so I usually call in advance to make an appointment. She has open availability usually so not hard to get in quick. Always satisfied with her work! She really cares about the health of your hair too. read more

Silkcut - Inside the hair salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Austin, Texas

See all

Great place for male Asian haircut. I will definitely be coming back as soon as I need another fade.

For the first time my daughter actually liked her haircut. They did exactly what she wanted and they were really friendly.

Todd did a magnificent job on our entire family. In Austin for a wedding, the three of us, me, my husband and son desperately needed a haircut. Todd was able to style an appropriate haircut for all our various needs. I would highly recommend Silkcut. read more

Typical asian guy with typical asian guy hair. I believe in having a consistent barber that knows my hair fairly well, so I get pretty nervous about getting my hair cut by someone different. This was my first time not only getting my hair cut by Silkcut, but in Austin. Walking in on a Sunday around 2pm, I didn't have an appointment, but I only had to wait around 10-15 minutes. Not bad at all, but I'll make an appointment next time just in case. The place is very clean and lively. A lot of families with their children there. I got my hair cut by Ty. Questions about my hair were quick and simple (how short? thinning? layering?) and he got to work. The longer he worked, the more comfortable and relaxed I felt. He definitely knows what he's doing and in the end, he got the job done. Hair looks great! You can tell by the environment that loyalty is highly valued. The barbers talked and laughed with their coworkers as well as the customers. I'll probably try to get Ty again next time, but I'll feel comfortable with any of them cutting my hair. $12 (excluding tip) well spent! read more

Walked in midday without an appointment for my first haircut in a long time. No wait. Masks on. Did some research looking for people who could cut Asian hair and chose Silkcut. Got my haircut by Thuan and he did a great job. I showed him pictures of how I wanted my hair to look and he went to work. Great haircut overall and priced well. Not rushed and thorough. I've been to some of the fancier/pricer barbers around town and did not walk out satisfied. I'll be back again. read more

Asian male with extremely thin-fine hair/strong upward hair growth. Hair is hair right? Why make such a fuss? You're a guy? Just deal with it. End of story. - - - - - Based on my experience(s) with current recruiting/hiring practices of companies, I'd say the demand for a good cut is very high, if not essential for your inner job seeker. Whether your on the fence about it, one foot in- the other out, or plan to hail Mary the two weeks tomorrow...you'll need to look your best...to feel your best...because you'll probably be at your worst (psychologically) if winds change. The difficulties of having thin-fine sucks. Likewise, finding a great hairstylist is like finding a purple squirrel. With more important and prevailing issues goin' around, I wanted to address the world of cosmetology on a light note...at least before Donald Trump denounces hair-cuts. Never thought I'd say that guy needed more volume. Todd has been my guy for almost a year. I use the same photo and the deed is quickly done. A small justice being served. If you're tired of getting your thin-fine hair butchered, and actually need it to be well kept for your job or decency...trust in Todd. Go vogue, or go rogue. My hair is magically back every 2.5-3.5 weeks (a blessing), but is a pain to fight traffic for the trip. So I normally wait it out to the point of no return. Toad is pretty accommodating when I schedule a few hours ahead and usually able to squeeze me in. Some days of the week are tight so don't wait till last minute. He's very patient and doesn't go Picasso on you. I use the same photo every time for a low-maintenance-work appropriate cut. 2-3 on sides, blend (he's good), and simple trim/texturize on top so I can still custom. He takes care of the rest to adjust for head/face shape or if I want some variation. Good, dependable, and very familiar with this type of hair/styling if you have it. Next time someone talks stuff about your hair not being important...they probably have no clue what the feather-cut is going on in your life. Don't get gender-rolled; call them out on the gaslighting, and stand up for you. Hello Todd. Bye Felicia. read more

If you are Asian or just have long straight hair, then this place is for you. My boyfriend goes to this place and always go to Trish. She's very nice and remembers her customers needs. Hair cut: It's a typical short hair cut so there's really nothing to comment on. She takes her time and makes sure everything is even. She also fluffs most of the excess hair off before oh leave so you don't come home with like hundreds of loss hair strands. Environment: I do like that it's in the Asian shopping center near MT market. They keep their stations clean and brush off the hair. They provide complimentary coffee and restrooms. When you walk in, I believe the owner is the one that greets you and ask typical questions. It is in an Asian shopping center so diversity is low. I don't look Vietnamese so many people don't realize that I can understand them. Typically you think the stylists are talking about you, but they're not. They're really friendly and always joking about each other so if you're concerned about that, don't be! I'm only giving them 4 stars because they raised the prices by $2 and as a college student, I typically hate that. I guess times are going rough these days! read more

I booked an appointment with Todd but he was running behind, so I ended up with Johnny instead. Communication was quite difficult due to the language barrier, and Trish had to step in a translate since she seems the most fluent in English. Once she told Johnny what I wanted, he went right to work and was very quick and confident. Even though he worked fast, it didn't seem like he cut any corners. Enjoyed this place, will be back read more

Not reccomend with the black guy(Hung).Since my day off is tuesday and his day off is tuesday too. he fucked up my hair just because i left him to the better one. What a mean minded!!! And i refer to Hau, he actually did me and my family hair a good job. F*** now, i have to go somewhere else to fix it. read more

This is the only place I will get my hair cut as an Asian girl. Trisha and Johnny have been cutting my hair since I was in 4th grade, and I am now a college student at UT Austin. Trisha and Johnny gave me curtain bangs before it was all popular and whatnot. Trisha enjoys showing me new trends when I come in and is always happy to do what I want with my hair. They take care of you so well, are incredibly clean, efficient, and overall amazing experience! read more

Reasonable prices, especially if you just need a trim or buzz cut. They don't over do it so you are in and out relatively quick. All the barbers and hair dressers take pride in their work you I felt like I got my money's worth. read more

Finally figured out a few Silkcut mysteries today while getting a fresh combover before work starts tomorrow. The guy who cuts my hair is named Johnny, and he is damn good. Yeah, it took me a few visits to figure out his name. There was a bunch of people waiting for a haircut today, yet he still took all the time needed to be as thorough as possible. And, for the third time now, I say again that this was my best haircut yet. As far as getting your hair washed afterwards is concerned, they charge an extra $2 and you have to ask for it before the end of your haircut. I swear they used to do it for free, and that's probably where the confusion came from in my past reviews. Anyways, they finally get this fifth star. It's still $14 for a men's cut. Get your hair washed afterwards and leave a twenty if you want an equally awesome experience next time around. Haven't been disappointed yet. read more

They always to a great job, fast, at an unbelievable price. They have abundant patience for our son and always accommodate. Trish and Johnny make sure everyone is satisfied. It helps being near TC Noodle. You may not get a Shiner oopo, but you pay less, leaving more to tip. It works for us. read more

I'm SO glad that this was better than my last visit to get a hair cut in Chinatown... At my roommate's recommendation, I tried Silkcut because I needed a cut pretty badly. I was nervous going at the end of the day, worried that they would all be tired and would then half-ass cutting my hair, and they proved me terribly wrong. After waiting for about 10 minutes, Johnny asked me to sit in his chair. He asked me what I wanted, and then got right to work. This guy knew exactly what to do and how to do it! As an Asian male with the typical thin, straight hair, Johnny was aware of the difficulty that it poses and paid extreme care to my hair. It was almost astonishing how he would pay so much attention to just one side of my head, making sure he cut it in such a way that would look good. He also noted that when I came in, my hair looked so bad because it was so thick, and recommended thinning it so it would not only last longer, but would look better by getting some of the excess hair out. At the end of the cut, he asked what I thought, and I felt very comfortable in asking him questions on how my hair looked versus what I thought it should look like, and he was very attentive in addressing my questions and actually showing me what my hair would look like after styling it versus how it looked dry. HOLD UP. I didn't even mention what the price was! For all the help that Johnny gave me, the hair cut was ONLY $12!!! If the price doesn't sway you, I don't know what else will. I'm glad to say that I left Silkcut being very satisfied with the work Johnny did, and I'm even more glad that I listened to my roommate and took a risk that I don't particularly like taking! tl;dr: if you're an Asian male with Asian hair and are nervous about getting your hair cut in Austin, Silkcuts will take care of you and take care of you well. Go! read more

My mom wanted to get her haircut and her usual place was closed so went to the other salon in the plaza. The lady said she can take my mom right away and was seating my mom but the guy (Thuan-middle station on the right) said there was another person before her so she apologize and took the other person instead. We were understanding and waited in the front. A few people walked in afterwards and the same guy that didn't let the lady take my mom finished his client and took the other walk-in. The lady told him that my mom was next. They started arguing amongst each other about the double standard situation loudly and rudely in front of us that my mom was next, but he continued to seat the next person and worked on them. He did not give my mom the same courtesy that we had given them for the previous person and did not care to rectify the situation. How unprofessional is that? read more

Your average Asian hair salon. This is the only place my boyfriend will get his haircut and he lives in Houston... Lol. He came here during college and just didn't want to find another salon especially if he comes back to visit me as often as he needs a haircut. Todd is his favorite, he only makes appointments with Todd. I've gotten my hair cut here twice now. My first time was to donate my hair and Trisha did a great job cutting the amount needed (she's done it many times before). The second time I came was over a year later just for a trim and I have no complaints. I come more just to sit and wait for my boyfriend but I don't mind because they have complementary coffee and water! Plus we always go across the parking lot to get some pho after. Women haircuts are ~$22 and like $12 for men. Always make an appointment so you don't have to wait and if you want one of the better stylist. read more

I have been going here for 5 years now and counting. When I was a freshman at UT, it was hard to find a decent place near campus. But with my UT id handy I was able to take the Capital Metro bus to Chinatown and found this place. Guy haircuts are an affordable $12. Haw (guy's name pronounced "How") is the person I always go to. Whatever style of hair you want done, he's able to understand how to achieve that. I've had some pretty wacky hair requests and he's always been patient with me and gives me the look I want. Always set up an appointment here because they do get busy all the time. This is because the stylists there know what they're doing and they're good at it. They have many loyal satisfied customers because of this. read more

perfectly done hair cut 10/10, good recommendations on details of the cut, friendly staff good vibes

Great for Asian guys, good price, fast, and nice. However not good for girls who need fancy hair style. read more

Silkcut - Hair Salons Near Me - Austin, Texas

I have been getting my haircut from Trisha for almost twenty years now. She used to work at Hair City then moved over to Silkcut when Chinatown opened. I've gotten haircuts from Johnny as well when Trisha went on vacation. Both are excellent. Price is still reasonable. I recommend making an appt first because they can be quite busy on weekends. read more

I've been going to Silkcut salon for over six years. There is a reason why I have not changed to a different salon because the amazing work and price. The person that cuts my hair is Johnnie, and I trust him to do my hair every single time. I've always recommended him to my friends and family because of his work. Not only his work is amazing, but he is also friendly and professional when cutting hair. The price is affordable as well. Men's haircut, you can expect anywhere from $12-$16 depending how complicated your hair is. The most I've ever been charged was $14, and that is definitely still cheaper than everywhere else. There are times when Johnnie has been on vacation for six weeks, and that is when I went to a different hair stylist. I paid $35 for the other stylist that is local, and in comparison to Johnnie, he cuts just as well as the one I paid $35! I don't mind traveling the other side of town to get a haircut here as well. Pro tip: Call in to make an appointment if you do not want to wait in line as long. There are times when they are slammed and it is hard to squeeze a walk-in but trust me, going here is worth it. read more

Great for Asian's hair! My 4yo, husband and myself were so happy to find a place that can handle our hair. They are very crowded on the weekends. Try to go on weekdays if you can. I brought my son twice on weekday mornings and there was no wait at all. He had his hair cut by different hairdressers for each visit and they were both great! read more

If you need a haircut and are in the North Austin area, I definitely recommend Silkcut! read more
