Stop in and ask if you can see the TIME TRAVELER in the washroom. Over 100 years ago, he's standing tall in foreground with what looks like a Nokia Cell Phone in his hand. I too travel time, love the $25.00 cut, takes me back 20 years it does. Let them the know 'THE TIME TRAVELER SENT YOU!' They know me 'round here. If they don't, they will again soon. Problem with time jumping. read more

The Elite Barber Shop - *Time Traveler holding cell phone - Barbers Near Me - New Braunfels, Texas

All barbers are not created equal. My barber retired after two decades with her. I got the same haircut over and over. Very predictable and great quality. I tried Elite. They were friendly and prompt, but they are emphatic that there are no reservations and you just take the next barber that comes up. Fair enough, but I like predictability. If a different person cuts my hair every two weeks. I will get a different haircut every two weeks. If "good enough" mattered to me, I would definitely use these guys. They are who they say they are. It's a good haircut at a fair price. At least it was last time. read more

I decided to take my son here because franchise salons just can't cut it. We went this morning (Saturday) and had to wait a while. No problem; it's Saturday. Finally JAMIE was ready, and my son told her what he wanted then relaxed in the chair. She did a great job, and he was really pleased with the final product. Unlike franchise salons, the price at this independent shop was a little higher ($25 cash). It's worth it, though, to get a quality experience and a great look. Besides, he liked the "bro-mosphere." The only concern is that they didn't sweep up the hair after each customer. I'm guessing it's because they were busy and didn't want the customers to wait longer than they already were. read more

I've been a customer of JD Edwards for the past 25 years. If it's his shop, you are guaranteed quality barber services. I am very particular about my haircut these days, so I want it done right. The Elite Shop downtown is a wonderful throwback with great barbers and atmosphere. As long as I have a hair to cut, it's JD and his crew. In fact, I'll be there tomorrow for a touch up. I appreciate what they do and they do it well. read more

Got a haircut today from Ann. She was awesome and love the cut! Great, friendly service and terrific haircut! Don't believe the nay sayers, just go there and do it!! read more

A fantastic place for Men's haircut, just $25 for the full treatment, Haircut, neck shave, and massage. Will be using them again! They're in New Braunfels, Texas downtown on San Antonio Street. Great experience. read more

I absolutely hate my haircut, did not follow my instructions. I will never go back here. They didn't even hold up a mirror to show me the back of my head. read more

Great place to get a haircut. The friendly, old fashioned barbers, accompanied by the antiqued environment make this place very pleasant. Barbers are all very skilled barbers. However, when I started going here 6 years ago, haircuts were at $15. They keep sneaking the price up here and there, and now it is $20 for a haircut. There are other places here in New Braunfels that cut hair just as well I'm sure, and for less. I hate to do it, but I'm going to start going elsewhere to get my haircut. Sucks, because I really liked this place. I'm sure by next week it will be up to $24 read more

Stopped in sans appointment so I waited a bit. Anh provided a top notch haircut, she paid careful attention my requests! Likely the best haircut I've had in many years! I'm a snowbird so I'll likely be back once prior to migration! read more

Without a doubt better than the chain barbershops. I've been coming here for 2-3 years on and off. Lovely hard working people who are happy to have a conversation or content to sit in silence. I always get a medium fade and it's consistently what I'm looking for. Can't beat the customer service + the price + the cut. Only downside for me is I wish they'd stay open a little longer! read more

After growing my beard for 4 months without shaving, I decided to go and get it lined up and shaped. What actually happened was my beard was completely butchered. 4 months of growth in the garbage and my beard was massacred. I am fuming mad after what just happened. Go elsewhere for your beard trims, unless you want them to destroy it. read more

First time client, happened on the ship while shopping with family. Stepped in for a cut and a shave and ended up taking a step down memory lane where I grew up getting my haircut at an old school barber. So refreshing. Lauren is a master of her craft, great attention to detail and tradition. Super impressed and super pleased with the results. read more

Terrible place to get a haircut went in today Chinese/Asian worker I think her name was Ann gave me the fastest hair cut in my life and she cut me as well. Asked for a medium bald fade walked out looking like Shrek. Will never return in my existence but I do give them props for using massage guns. Over all if you don't care about a haircut then this is a place to go as for me I had to go get my haircut fixed elsewhere!!!! Spent double the time and money!!!!!! read more

Formerly called Cliff's, I believe. Not even sure about the phone number. They deliver a world-class, old-fashioned, gentlemen's haircut. It's first-come, first-serve as all three barbers do an exceptional job. Cut any way you ask, they use all the classic tools a true barber should use. At the conclusion of the cut, you can option for a nice neck and shoulder massage. Standard cut runs $15. No wet shaves are done at that location. Services are for men and boys 12 years of age or older. read more

This is my go to haircut spot. They look like a place from the Old West mixed with the personal service from the Waltons. If you are a guy looking for a real haircut with pleasant people, this is the place for you. They will also give you a straight razor shave or any other manly hair treatment. There are three chairs up front that are always busy and one in the back that is overflow. All of the barbers have been here forever which means that they are good, personable and know their job. Make sure to give them a tip because they are definitely doing good service. The inside of the store has comfortable seating while you wait and is decorated like an old western saloon. I always enjoy the brief wait reading thru one of their many manly magazines. It ups my testosterone factor every time I come here. read more

Worst haircut I have ever gotten. I came in with pretty long hair probably 5-6 inches and told the lady that I would like to trim the top with scissors and then fade the sides. She started out fine on the sides but on the top she never stopped using the trimmers and ran a 3 over the top of my head. Absolutely ruined my composite pictures I had to take immediately after and my birthday is tomorrow. Will never come back again! read more

Great place for men and boys to get a great haircut at an old fashioned barbershop like your granddad went to for a haircut. Barber's dressed in white shirts and black vests. Texas style music playing on the radio. One word of caution. Unless you want your hair butchered, and being a captive audience to hearing her politics, avoid Teri in the first chair. All other barbers are professional and great. Give them a try. You will love getting a haircut at the Elite. Gotta love it... read more

This place sucks . They have on the door open till 5 bullshit .. lock the dumb door at 4:30 .

Best Barbershop in town. Straight razor shaves. From bald fades to business gentleman style cuts.

Great atmosphere ! My barber had a good attitude and did a great job on my hair . Old school massager at the end . Will definitely be returning . Bring cash , $20 cuts . read more

Outstanding barber shop. Very nice in an old barber shop decor way. My barber was Guy - A very interesting gentleman. Ex radio DJ, musician, and culinary grad. Good conversation with the locals in the place. Great haircut, and as a real barber only can do, I got the straight razor shave on neck and over ears. As the other reviewer said you get a nice massage after your cut. I will certainly return on my next trip to New Braunfels. I highly recommend this shop. read more

This is the epitome of what a barber shop should be! Within seconds of walking in the door, my guy was in a chair. This is after being turned away from 3 other shops. While I sat and watched, all three barbers were personable with everyone. The atmosphere is incredible. This is our go to from now on! read more

Great haircut and beard trim, no wait at all, didn't even need an appointment. Will be coming back regularly

Wow. Totally awesome barber shop. It's styled like an old fashioned Barber shop. You're welcomed when you walk in and can join in on a friendly conversation. Excellent atmosphere and an excellent quality of hair cut. You also get a blade shave on the neck and around the ears along with a little vibrator shoulder massage after your cut. read more

I recently moved to New Braunfels and I have been searching for a reliable barbershop nearby. I tried this place and walked away very disappointed. The guy did not cut my hair the way I asked him to and then charged me $20 for what I felt was a $10 effort. My barber may have been special needs though, so maybe I should be thankful it didn't turn out worse than it was? My search for a reliable barber in NB continues. read more

Old fashion barber . Takes cash only. Excellent service and attention to detail. Lost my barber after 10+ yrs. Glad I found this place. read more

This is as old-school barbershop as one can get - just what my husband was looking for. After finding a true barbershop in Italy, where the chairs are other than your parents, my husband has been lamenting that everywhere else is too expensive or full of hipsters that just try too hard. This is not that kind of place. Coffee and a taco when you walk in, newspapers ready to be read, and a straight razor to clean up your neck. Appointments are are not required for hair cuts. Two days a week, they offer wet shaves, and appointments might be necessary for that. For under $20, this is the best place in the area to get your ears lowered! read more

Sorry for the horrible Grammer, I was upset and didn't bother proof reading my comment lol. Still the same feeling

See Jamie! She did an awesome job of fixing up a bit of a bad haircut I had gotten. I'm presentable thanks to her and can only imagine how good the haircut would have come out had I gone to her initially! Thanks!! read more

Spanning my first haircut until my barber retired (23 years later) I found myself in that traditional style barber shop receiving a traditional style barber cut. Sadly, after he retired I spent the next 10 years trying to find a shop like his. I moved to New Braunfels, Tx and yelped Barber Shops near me.. Honestly, I was put off by the name, sounded like they were trying to hard. I ventured in, it's just a mile from my house.. I walked into the shop and was met my the lovely smell only a true barber shop offers, greeted by men and a woman, who were friendly and genuine in their hello followed by an offer for coffee. All dressed in the attire I had grown up seeing my barber in, I was put at ease.. All Barbers were busy, after about 5 minutes (perfect wait time) I was seated and cut to perfection! Being happy with a hair cut has been few and far between for me that last 10+years.. Oh.. Wait, you only accept cash? Err, uhhhh.. The barber kindly informed me of an ATM and allowed me to walk out without paying.. Haircut price was about what I expected $20 with a good tip. Great quality cut, and the environment I've been searching for. read more

Clean shop, good haircut, short wait. Thanks.

This place is classic in every way. These guys are total professionals, know how to cut hair really well [my barber has 32 years of experience], know how to chat about anything on your mind, and just really customer oriented. So this is my new spot and I must say I couldnt be happier with this place. Keep up the great work Elite, y'all are awesome. read more

Wow, Elite really is as good as the reviews suggest. My National Guard unit is in New Braunfels so I popped in to get my hair into regs before drill this month. Boy was I surprised to have such a cool, old-fashioned barber shop experience. This place is a gem. Do not pass up an opportunity to try it! Just a heads up: they accept cash and checks but not cards. Fortunately I always carry a few spare checks so I avoided the ATM fee from the nearby ATM. read more

Just got my hair cut with the new owner Joshua. Although I had an appointment, he was busy on the phone as many people required his attention as the new owner. He apologized for being a few minutes late to start but did a great haircut anyway. He offered and insisted that the haircut should be on him as he spent much of the cutting time on the phone but what is right is right and I paid. I think the place looked a little worse for wear, ie. a large dirt spot under the coat rack, but I can overlook that for now. I want to give Josh some time to get this shop looking like it used to with the original owner Christine. It may never be the same but you can still get a great cut. Good luck Joshua and I will see you again next month. read more
