This place may be OK for kids haircuts but they charge premium salon prices for haircut, $42 without a tip, that was worse than any discount hair place. It's ridiculous. An older woman cut my hair and when I got home, it looked like they put a bowl on my head and cut it short under the bowl. My hair was not blended at all. She didn't listen to how I told her I wanted it cut she just cut it the way she wanted to. Will absolutely never be back. The staff was not really friendly and seemed bored & disinterested. There are too many other good places to get a men's haircut to waste your time and money at this place. read more

Good spot. Skilled Stylists. Attention to detail. Friendly vibes. Professional. I'll be coming back.

This is the only place I go to get work done. Amy and Marlyn always take good care of me. They always make sure I feel welcomed and taken care of. They make sure you feel like family. read more

Great concept. Awful execution! Beware. Premium charge for a monthly service. Poor customer service. They just don't seem to care. Like I'm back in LA...not at all TX hospitality. The gal answering the phone was so rude that its as if she was hired to sabotage the business. ATTENTION OWNER....Your staff needs training and oversight ! Understaffed Every time I'm there usually only 2 chairs operating. I was promised easy access when i signed for the premium VIP monthly charge. WRONG! Nearly impossible to get scheduled for the services promised. And equipment is 2nd rate for the sinks, hot water, foot soak and nail care. JT is 5 stars but he's not there much. Another GOOD operator is Amy but not there much or when I've asked. The other guy I've had cut my hair seemed more interested in his lunch brake or jabbing with some other guy hanging around there than paying attention to my hair. After this last attempt to give them a chance and another day without any times available I decided to cancel. Try it for yourself before signing up for the monthly VIP. read more

Amazing service! I walked in with my 14 year old son on his birthday and the female stylist was immediately available. She gave my son exactly what he was asking for and we were so very grateful for her generosity. We had been taking him to another salon for double the cost. But we will now continue to go back to Tune Up. Thank you so so much! read more

I have previously written good reviews for this service, attention to customer service has clearly and substantially declined. Therefore, I recommend that prospective customers now pass up on making use of this Lake Travis men's barber service. Recently, There are salient issues about both making, fulfilling scheduled appointments and appropriate level of managerial attention for quality customer service. Recently, I note that some of the establishment staff apparently make use of this barber facility as their daycare for their children. This is disappointing for customers seeking a quality set of professional barber services, without these distractions. Customers pay for barber services, not observe noisy children who want to engage in play.this fact seems to be ignored by the manager. This once WAS a great men's barber shop, I think, no longer. I am disappointed, as I have made use of this service for about a year. I am now canceling my annual subscription agreement and will find a better managed alternative. I would not recommend anyone use this, until management makes an effort to implement substantive improvements. Thank you for reading my opinions for this particular, once great barber service. read more

Tune Up The Manly Salon - This is a man's place - Men's Hair Salons Near Me - Austin, Texas

Great place to go good people good atmosphere had good luck with the salon specialists that have worked on my hair

Saul is the man! Everyone was super nice and listened to everything I wanted. Super cool concept with all that's offered and great prices. You absolutely get what you pay for. New returning customer here. Highly highly recommend! read more

Rushed over after school for my sons appointment to find out our barber had called in sick and no one let us know. We would have appreciated a call so we could have made different plans to make sure his hair was cut before family pictures this weekend. read more

Despite the blistering misogyny of this place, there are talented people who work here. Lys is a gem and does one of the best fades I've ever had. I gave it 4 stars because the atmosphere is quite unwelcoming if you're not a hetero-cisgender male. read more

Waited 30 minutes past my appointment time to be seen. Was never offered a beverage through my wait, not even water or coffee. When I was seen, the lady tried to get me to leave before washing my hair. When she did eventually wash it, she didn't even properly dry it so I just left with wet hair. For a similar price, Finley's and Boardroom will offer a razor neck shave and a massage. Pretty lousy experience. read more

Its an ok place to go in Lakeway. Revolving door of stylists is hard to navigate. Its gotten better over the last few years. If you have the patience its a workable option. read more

The best thing about this place is the shuffle board and the fun decor. The service was very very slow and lacking. They clipper cut my 11 year olds hair in 3 minutes and it was terrible. We even showed the lady a picture of his last haircut and the finished cut was nothing like it. I am taking him to another place to see if they can fix it until it grows out. I can't recommend this place to anyone. At least his hair will grow out in 2 weeks. Sorry we won't be back! read more

We just left this place and Haley is NOT someone who should be cutting long hair!! She's got attitude and totally ruined our son's long hairstyle. Even after speaking to her she was adamant she doesn't have any attitude?!? I don't need a response to my direct disdain for your performance where I have to interrupt your craft and have another stylist complete and fix your absolute mess created!!! Caroline was nice enough to credit us for the haircut- Bonnie was gracious enough to fix the mess as nest she could... Unbelievable Will have to seriously reconsider recommending this place read more

I scheduled an appointment for a haircut and beard trim. I showed up 15min early and waited 30 min past my appointment time. They only had 1 stylist working. After waiting 45min he calls a guy back who walked in 15min after me. Really guys!!! WTF? Why have an appointment system if you can't honor the scheduled time??? They may have great cuts. I'll never know. Not going back anytime soon. read more

I didn't like the cut at all I can still see the lines and I'm not supposed to see that as a barber and I'm now going to wear hats and hoodies. read more

My husband and sons have been coming to this location for 2 years but recently it's been harder for us to get in. You can't make an apt without a membership. I inquired about memberships for my 12 and 14 year old, only to be told that my 14 year old is considered an adult and would have to pay $130/month. Even though he wouldn't be served alcohol, doesn't need a beard trim or shave ‍ so I am paying a $130/month for an appointment and a pop. His cut would be the exact same as my 12 year olds, so why the difference in price? Or do 14 year olds have more hair and I am just now learning that... read more

I have been a customer off and on for a couple of years. I usually get good results. I really like the concept and like the atmosphere. Recently when my barber left for other employment the owner recommended another barber. I went with that but the results were not as expected. She literally gave me a "bob" haircut. Really? On a 50 year old man, not a good look, or on any man for that matter! I returned to see if they could fix it, another girl tried but made it worse. After 5 days my wife asked me to go back and speak to the original barber. She was not so nice and wanted me to pay for an new haircut because I waited 5 days. I got into it with her and got angry and said to her "you're the one that fucked this up"! When I spoke to the owner, he was given another story that I cussed them out. Not true! He was one damn cocky jerk and could not understand that maybe the customer is right this time. After reading the other posts, this guy should never interact with the public. He is way to emotional and does not take criticism well. And with that being said I have found another place to take care of my full head of hair! read more

I give it a five for atmosphere But a zero for quality The lady really messed up my beard trim so bad I had to tell her to give me a goatee- not what I came for then they still charged me full price for hair cut But beer was cold Lady needs her eyes checked Hope it gets better Cuz the place is cool read more

My son absolutely loved his haircut and his design is the talk of the town! The customer services is fabulous and welcoming. I'm so happy to be so close to Tune Up. It's convenient and a great cut!! read more

Tune Up The Manly Salon - Men's Hair Salons Near Me - Austin, Texas

Ashley always sends me home looking good. After some good laughs, a great cut and a cold beer, I feel like a new man.

This place is worthless. I go in there and wait forever and there's only two people cutting hair and one keeps eating food and taking breaks and I was so annoyed. I walked out after 45 minutes waiting. Thanks for the free beer. I'll give one extra star for that. But I don't come to drink beer I come to get a cut. Updating review: owner is condescending. Thinks he's a badass. Hopefully soon he'll be cutting hair for a intelligent barbershop owner read more

First time visiting. Great haircut and a decent price. I did not get to use it, but there is a full bar, and it is free. Plus they have an arcade. Not a bad deal if you have to wait for your turn. I will be coming back read more

The absolute worst hair cut I have ever had. She jacked up my hair. Total hack. And my shampoo session lasted like two seconds. I take pride in my hair and it is horrible. Thank god I will never have to go there again. I would give zero stars if possible!! read more

Great place ! I was basically a walk-in as I needed to get cleaned up for a business trip. Jennifer was able to take me and did an amazing job... In fact I would say it was one of the best haircuts I have ever gotten. I don't have much hair on top and she was able to blend everything in.. she is a true professional that paid great attention to detail. I will be a regular at this place and will definitely ask for Jennifer again. read more

Been going to tuneup for years now. Started at the main location in the Houston area and then moved out to Austin. The location is nice, people are great, but they do not honor appointments unless you are a "VIP". So even if you schedule an appointment on their app, it means nothing. The owner of this franchise needs to reevaluate customer experience. read more

Is such a good place to get haircuts, I got mine here and it was amazing and the service is amazing too!!!!!

I thought long and hard before writing this review. But, I have to. Tune-up offers a VIP program that allows people to cut in front of people that are waiting regardless of how long that it is... okay cool, not an issue. I've been going to their shops for a year now, and I don't enroll in the VIP program because I tip my barbers 100% and id rather take care of them directly. That's fine, that's my decision. I'm okay with that. Today, I went in and was told there's a cut in line after about 30 minutes of waiting. That's fine, annoying, but again fine because I don't pay for VIP. Once again, I am cool with that. The owner Wes and I have had several chats in the past, and when I asked if this was conducive to business, instead of getting a calm and professional response; I got,"well then join VIP if you don't want to wait". I told him that I really don't appreciate his demeanor or the delivery of the message to which he responds,"well, when you figure out a better way let me know". Super condescending to someone who has not only taken care of his barbers but also put money directly into his pocket. So here you go man, here's the better way. As a business owner I understand the benefits of repeated income monthly to future investor attraction. As a business owner I understand that some people are going to have their toes stepped on. As a business owner, I also understand that explaining to clients in a non condescending tone how my business operates when they question the intent is very important. I don't care about the premium service offering, I get it. Trust me. But for someone who has left money at your establishment for a long time now consistently to be treated with such a distasteful approach shows so much about your character. Your barbers are fantastic, and I would never take anything away from them, but I can't leave my money at a business that doesn't respect its regulars. Yeah, this may come off as bitter, but you legitimately offended me to my core with the extreme condescension today. Having ran bars in Lakeway, here's a tip: If you treat the wrong person, with the right influence, poorly out there. They will let it be known in the community, and your business will suffer. Good luck. read more

Tune up continues to impress and Bonnie is my dedicated go to person. The beers are always cold and the haircuts sharp. If you travel the 620, stop in and check this place out. read more

See all

So came in to get a simple top and beard trim. 40 mins after I got there for my scheduled appointment I was finally seen by someone that clearly didn't belong in a hair salon. Clumsy and uneven cutting followed by awkward seat moving to wash my hair and countless "how does thing look?" questions. Didn't expect a simple trim to be so complicated. After about an hour I was offered to spike my hair since I mentioned wanting to try that. After working the paste into my hair the lady realized she hadn't cut an entire portion of my hair. And then proceeded to do so as hair clumpy hair from the paste fell all over my shirt since the apron was removed at this time. "I'm just so tired today!" Then you probably shouldn't be cutting someone's hair and charging them $50 for something super cuts could do better. For those that care Erin was the so called stylist. Maybe I just got a bad stylist the others seemed fine and didn't keep their clients an hour and a half after their appointment time. read more

This women at the Tune Up - The Manly Salon stopped cutting my grandson Lazarus hair she didn't finish the job because she said that Lazarus was getting ready to get restless, that she has been cutting hair for 7 years and she knew when a child was getting ready to be restless... That was farthest from the truth...... That he needed to go to a barber to get the cut I was asking for, so when I complained at the girl at the register she recommended this incredible person Elena and she actually finished the job and I was so happy with the cut....She herself was very upset that this other women used that excuse in order to stop cutting Lazarus hair.... I highly recommend Elena great job..... This rating is all because of Elena.... read more

Beware, they have a VIP Membership they try to sell you. My husband thought it was a one-time charge for $125. It's NOT! It is a MONTHLY charge! Hair cut was not the best either. read more

So, my husband tried this place for the first time and came home with his hair looking worse than Jim Carrey in Dumber and Dumber. At least his bowl cut was straight. The first time he went back to get it fixed, the receptionist laughed at what the stylist had done to him and told him there were 4 people in front of him. He didn't have time to wait. The second time he went back to have it fixed, the receptionist recognized him right away and said, "there are 11 people in front of you today." No hello and definitely no apologies for the inconvenience. Ugly haircut + terrible service = sucky salon! read more

Great service! Favorite spot for my son and I to get our hair done right. Owner is always there and helpful. Juan and Jay are always on point. read more

Brought my 14yr old and 13yr old boys in for an adult haircut. Brandon was next available, so my son Caden went with him. Brandon seemed irritated from the beginning which already made me uncomfortable. When my son was done he asked me why Brandon didn't wash out his hair and use a hot towel like my other son got. I asked Brandon and he said its not standard and that he gave my son a child cut. I simply asked the cashier to make sure that my charge was adjusted to a child's cut from an adult charge. When done I didn't feel like tipping Brandon due to his negative attitude. We walked outside, got into my truck and as I was backing away I saw Brandon standing 5 feet in front of my truck giving me a "thumbs-up" - clearly upset that we didn't tip him. As I was sitting there evaluating the extremely uncomfortable situation I wondered... would this guy do this to my wife? Would he do the same to a single mother? If so, would they also feel threatened or intimidated? I am 43 years old - never once have I had someone come outside in an act of intimidation because I didn't tip them. I will not only never come back - I will share this incident on Yelp and with the local people that I know. Then I will encourage everyone I know to avoid your Lakeway location for their own safety and security. I did call and explain the situation to Alida - she is aware. read more

Unfortunately two strikes and you're out. I had a rough haircut to start. I mean my head hurt when I was done. It was shorter than I asked for, but it was actually a good cut. They offered half off the second time, so I tried again with a different barber. I was next in line and one of their VIP's wanted a cut, after her partner got a long lasting cut and long lasting massage from Alida. I got bumped so I passed because I already waited 45 minuets or so. read more
