This barber shop definitely is a man's kind of place. There is a sitting area in the back with a…read morelarge flat screen TV, and even one of those pay massage recliners. Any hair particles are blown off with a pneumatic air hose. It's very casual. More like a garage feel inside. Don't let the black paint scare you off, the atmosphere was quite positive. When I walked in I was greeted and invited to take a seat while I waited my turn, only one ahead of me. I took the first barber with an empty chair. Rico asked me how I wanted my hair cut and had a few follow up questions to ensure he knew my expectations. Then he went to work. He was not slow, but he took his time like an artist working on a project. I was very pleased with the result. I think I have finally found my new barbershop. Most other places I've tried immediately whip out a pair of clippers and proceed to zip through my hair leaving me with "white walls" and feeling scalped. I appreciate the fact that they listened to me and honored my request. They charge $15 for a haircut, but they take their time and do it right rather than run you through like an assembly line. Totally worth it. There are at least four barbers who work here, all were friendly and engaging. The only thing I wasn't thrilled with was the reggaeton / rap music playing, not my personal preference, but it was soft enough I could still have a decent conversation with others. I think most of their clientele would enjoy that kind of music since they're located right across from the UT RGV campus. They offer a number of services including beard trimming, eyebrow shaping, etc. This is not a fancy or a frilly place. No tea and cookies on a doily. But if you want a great barber, check them out. I'll be back.

I walked in with about 5 inches in length and plenty of hair on the side. I asked for an inch off the top and a mid skin drop fade. I walked out with completely uneven top, majority of the top right side deleted, and a high skin fade undercut. This short stocky blob started high with the fade and completely cut off the right side of my top half that combs over. He was cutting my hair as if he was running late to an appointment. If you're willing to trial and error with different barbers, by all means.

Overall: 3.7 stars Kind of hidden in plain sight, The King Barber and Salon is in Jackson Plaza in between Aaron's and Wingstop, and just west of Chili's Restaurant. The barber I was going to quit and I needed a new barber. I tried this place based on reviews. I signed in and requested Lupe because others recommended him for beards. I had just missed him, so I went with JT who recently transferred from another barber shop. I entered, signed in and waited in full view of three employees (not including JT), and no one acknowledged my presence for at least 10 minutes. One barber finished the client he was with and left. After a few more minutes JT, whose station was out of my line of sight finished with his client and came around to the front. Seeing my name, he called me to his station. I showed JT pictures of what I wanted, and he delivered. He was pleasant and efficient. He gave me both a haircut and redefined my beard. I am happy with the results, and so is my wife. He listened, understood and gave me what I requested. JT's service was just fine. I gave the business as a whole only 2 stars for customer service because of not being acknowledged for so long. A quick, "welcome, someone will be with you in a few moments," would have been nice. Clients include men, women and children. So it's family friendly. A TV is on the wall near the waiting area. It's not luxurious but it is nice. I will be back. I will call first to ensure JT or Lupe is there.

You go on looking for a good cut and come out feeling fresh.

My fault for not booking an appointment. When They open I asked one of the owners (Chino) who was their master barbers or had the most experience. I'm an older professional who doesn't mind paying or tipping for a good service. He replied that everyone was great! After the wait, Ramon took my son and gave him a great hair cut loved it! BuT..... The owner's younger brother( I later found out) called my name. He was nice but INEXPERIENCED. Looking at the other barbers' work I was a little more confidentAfter making some mistakes With my beard I told him not to worry, so he just trimmed it down. I started to look at the mirror and saw more errors, he tried to fix them but I just told him to stop. He didn't even line my mustache straight. I asked for a hot towel shave and he shaved me with the electric shaver after the straight razor. My skin is burning and irritated!!!! The following picture is what I asked for and then the end result. By the way, I asked for a low taper and I don't think he even gave me a fade. Barber contacted me and apologized. I will give the shop another opportunity to make things better. Will update.
