awesome people

One of the worst experiences I’ve ever had. They were not very welcoming, and very unorganized. Supper overrated barbershop!!!!

I might go here again, albeit with some caveats. I was told at the beginning it would be about $50-$55 for a cut and clean-up straight razor shave of my neck line and cheeks. Ended up being somewhere around $70. I asked for a 1 on top, half on the sides to zero. I asked for the shave, although I was expecting a shave of the back of my neck as well, they didn't offer it and I forgot to ask them about it. And I say "them" because no one person could perform all the tasks needed. What kind of a barbershop has "one" person out of 5 that can do straight razor shaving? My friend got a general cut, beard trim and straight razor clean up like I did as well as a brow wax of his (uni)brow. His cost ended up just shy of $100. Kinda steep, especially since we both noticed mistakes after we got home in better lighting. My sideburns went up my head almost an inch on one side of my head while the other was almost at my ear hole level. At the checkout, the person who charged us when we asked why it was so high was because we didn't get this other package, which would have saved us about 7 or 8 dollars. "So.. charge us the package and don't give us the extra services" is what I should have requested. $8 is another $8 I'd rather tip with. This was somewhat frustrating so taking a star for that. We tipped 20%, as always. If the owner reads this I would suggest the following: Require your barbers to be barbers. meaning, they should all be able to do the same things. My friend had 3 different people work on him. One to cut and trim his beard/hair, another to shave him and a 3rd to brow wax. Every time a customer is handed off to a new person, it makes the process funky for the customer and also: how do you decide who to tip and what? Removing another star for this and the mistakes (at this price point there shouldn't be mistakes and all staff should be full barber) The staff were super friendly and patient and they all were eager to help and do a good job even if we noticed a few minor mistakes after. The products and physical location is great, with a clean atmosphere and a very hyper-masculine vibe, the people are awesome but the process could use some improvement (one star deduction). I'd give them another chance though If I lived in the area.

Great place

Johnny Ruiz

Worth it if you have to look 100% for something but not affordable to do every 6 weeks, at least not for me. Excellent customer service.

Billy Ross

Great hair cuts and fun atmosphere!

N.O. SAINTS KING

The Atmosphere was relaxed and the ladies can cut

Wesley W

Probably the best haircut experience I've had. Firsf of all dribking a beer while getting your haircut, yes please. Hair specialists that know what theybare doing, check. Finally, the environment is great, retro videogames, band posters, great music. 10/10 will definitly be going again!

Mike Philby

Great place to get a shave, haircut and a brewsky. Quick and knowledgeable staff that do great work!

Todd Sander

Awesome haircut and a great group of guys. Highly recommended.

Alberto Carrillo

Great service :)! Since you arrive to the Barber Shop, customer service is amazing...

Robin Joyce

I went to enter and a staff member rudely butt in front of us to go out. It's kind of standard courtesy. Hello, we are customers, the pricing is not easy to understand as they up charge you for everything. A previous time I came and they charged my BF to use a straight razor. Now, the package includes a shave. After the shave, they told him it was extra for the straight razor in which they did not tell him at the time. Be careful and make sure you understand what you get. I dont think we will be back.

Chris Ray

Great service

Ben Rubin

Offered a cold drink/beer when you walk in. Can't beat that, unless you get some whisky. Have used three of their stylists and have never had a bad cut. Prices are right on the edge but still OK. That's 5-star in my book.

Jesus Alberto Ontiveros Sr.

Great place for a haircut and beard trim, Becky is awesome she hooked me up. It is pricey I spent $70 on a haircut and beard trim, I kept saying yes to everything she offered so I quests it was my fault.

Aaron Sachs

Always a great cut here and worth it! Ask for Krista, and she'll give you a fantastic cut.

Kunal Patel

Great place to get a haircut, beard trim, and shave. I had the luxury of meeting Gabby, my hairstylist and she did a fantastic job. Clean, friendly and you get a choice of a soft drink, water, wine or beer! (One for customer that is). Definitely will be back!

Elvia KaChenChai

Bummed that they could not blow dry my hair. Granted I am a lady :0(

Holly Holland

Slightly pricey but otherwise fantastic!

NERRAD

The manager really goes out of her way to make you feel like your welcomed there. Would def recommend this place. Only drawback is they don’t have Marvel vs Capcom 3 or Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 for me to play while waiting.

KT VDW

Sami takes a ton of pride in her work and is the first person I've found in San Antonio who seems to care about what I look like leaving her chair. She's also really nice and I'd honestly sacrifice customer service for a quality haircut, but I don't have to with her. She's pleasant to talk to and extremely skilled.

Danielle Florie

The atmosphere is amazing, the employees are extremely friendly, and they offer drinks which is great. Unfortunately this is not the place for ethnic or very fine/curly hair.

Robert Van Horn

Very cool experience. Too pricey for an every time experience, but nice to be pampered every once in a while.

Tiffany Morales

If you go ask for Nichole she is the best and worth the wait!!!!!!

Esmeralda Leon

First time going for my son this past weekend. They did a great job! Will be returning.

Larz1961

I just get my beard trimmed. Chris always gives my a great cut.

Christopher Canis

ALWAYS get a good cut even when my usual barber is not there. Amazing shave as well. Worth every penny. They never rush their work and always take their time to make sure you leave happy with your look. Free video games for us 80's teenagers (Wearing out that Tron machine!) and a cold beer offered upon arrival - what's not to like?

Zack Nash

Excellent service as usual, very friendly service. I have been getting my haircut at Diesel for several years now and tried their different locations and I have consistently been pleased.

desirae martinez

Absolutely love it! They take care of my son perfectly

David Shores

Great service and great quality cuts!

Oshmi Dutta

Great service and love Krista! She is the best

Matthew Linville

Most everyone will give you a good hair cut, so you can pick anyone your first time there without fear!

Jared Sies

I love this place. It's like a spa treatment for men.

Ken Lucas

Ask for Nicole

Arnoldo Sanchez Jr.

I moved to San Antonio in July 2018 and didn't know where to cut my hair. I'm very picky, and tried a few shops that did not meet my expectations. Luckily I found diesel barbershop and met Nichole (my barber). She is incredibly nice. She took the time to consult me the first time she cut my hair to have an idea of what I wanted. Since then, she's managed to cut my hair perfectly every time. I strongly recommend the diesel plus service. I get it everytime.

Saul Garcia

I've got an undercut going on, and the FIRST thing that I had explained to the barber was that I wanted a lower drop-fade on the back, first thing she did was cut all the way up with the 0 setting, taking off all the hair I was growing out. Decent enough hair cut after I pointed out that she didn't do what I asked, she was able to somewhat salvage it, but it seems the barber was cutting my hair the way she wanted it instead of the other way around. I'm not one to be rude or complain, but she was telling me before we even started that "we can sit around all day if we need to in order to figure out exactly what you want" and that just wasn't the case. Nice environment and friendly staff, I might even go back, but I definitely won't go for that barber.

J G

Badass barbershop with barbers that know what the hell they're doing! AND they can shape a beard. Not just trim but shape! I see Gabby at their Stoneoak location, I highly recommend her.

A.J. Davila

Emilio did an amazing job! Definitely found my new barber shop!

Ian Huth

I got a great haircut here today. Jessi is an amazing barber as in best haircut I've ever received. I go out of my way to get to this barbershop and barber. Very friendly and great atmosphere. And for those complaining about pricing it's 35 bucks for their standard haircut and that includes a haircut shampoo and conditioner neck shave styling of hair. Free drinks beer soda and water I've even heard of a wine but haven't seen it. I don't know how people on here are racking up 100 dollar tabs the haircut and beard combo is 60 and that includes almost everything. 8 dollars for waxing as in doesn't add up what they're saying. This place rocks

Victor Bucio

Great Service does not equal great quality. I watched the entire team do fades and it was not worth 35 dollars. I see why I hate haircut chains. I'm not one to rate anyone something they don't deserve but Diesel is too overrated.

K Camacho

W A R N I N G ! Don’t use your credit card at this place. My son & I have been a customer here for many years. We always tip $10-$20. My son made an appointment for June 11th and on June 10th they looked up his credit card information from a previous sale and charged my credit card when he did not show up. I called and a smarty pants manager insisted that “this was their policy”. I insisted they had made a mistake. She refused to reverse charge. I inquired if she was willing to loose both of us a clients and she told me to teach my son to be on time. I insisted that the error was theirs by writing the wrong date. The card was not swiped. They just took the number and punched it in. I have disputed this charge with with Chase and will look for barbershop that will be honest and not charge my card without authorization and will more value the $2,000 a year, including tips we spend at their location.

Grant Totten

Best haircut I've ever gotten. Staff are very friendly and Nichole always leaves me looking sharp.

A Gonzales

Great first time experience. I do not know where everyone is getting multiple barbers from. I went in and was asked to sign in and offered a Texas brewed beer. Ellie was my barber and she did a great job on beard trim and hair cut. I only had one barber the whole time, she did hair, beard, shampoo and shave. I got the Full package for $55 and tipped. Do not get me wrong, this is by far the most I have ever spent on a cut and shave, but I wasn't rushed. Total time spend was about 1 hr and 20 min. Not like most places where the person cutting your hair is attempting to see as many customers as they can and gets you out in 20 min. Ellie, Thank you for the wonderful first time experience and I will be back.

Bond Ybarra

Bianca is a Rock Star! She has been my stylist, for numerous years, and as she moved on to bigger and better things at Diesel, I religiously followed her there regardless of it being further away because she's amazing, and always on point with my fade! It's difficult to find someone who delivers a consistent and tight fade, so come see Bianca and you’ll be asking for her every time! In addition, you get a choice of beverage from beer, soda, or water, and you can play free video games while you wait!! To top it all off, the staff is always very welcoming and friendly! This is an awesome barbershop!

Pierre Martinez

Good cuts and friendly staff. Short waits. Excellent rock music and classic arcade games. Oh and beer and other non alcoholic beverages for your wait.

Daniel S.

Have been there several times. Have probably had 6 different girls cut my hair. They all did a great job and I'm picky. Price is very reasonable. $20-$25 range for cut, wash, shampoo and scalp massage/shoulder massage. They offer your cold drinks when you walk through the door.

Carolina Gholson

Always great service

Dustin Bowman

Got a great beard trim In and out like 20 minutes

lav kumar

Kickass place. Good people and fun times.

Kristopher Santos

Awesome ! Always an amazing experience see Nic (Nichole ) at the wilderness oak location for sure ! You will not regret it ! Friendly staff and an amazing atmosphere that makes the price totally worth it !

Lou Montes

I've been a client of jessy for over a year now and she always does a great job on my hair I'm never disappointed she's always up for my input never rushes and always always makes my hair look great and I honestly wont trust anyone else to cut my hair I highly recommend when you go here to ask for jessy she is always worth the wait

Gabriel Casarez

It is not just a great barbershop by name, it is the staff here that truely make the experience one of a kind. All stylists are amazing and masters of their craft. This has to be the best location and best crew. I am in the military and have traveled alot over the last 18yrs, this is hands down the best haircut and service I have ever received.

Ray Torres

Second time going there and i am still going back Linda is very sweet and nice she will take care of you amazingly couldn't ask to feel more comfortable while getting a hair cut!

Günther Frager

So... I was hoping to find a barber to work on my beard.... I open the door and I only see women cutting hair. I was disappointed because I don’t trust a woman to work on a beard.... I did not stay. That’s my review...

Patty Rendon

Very clean, upbeat, friendly atmosphere. No sad faces everyone looks happy to be there. I took my son in for a haircut and we got Jessica A to serve us. She was amazing we will definitely be coming back! she was attention to detail and gave us superb customer service! thanks jessica!

Wm. James McCormick

Friendly casual environment and a great haircut and beard trim

Steven B

If you're looking for a place to get advice and help with your beard, I'd say look elsewhere. While their website led me to think that they would be able to, when I asked for input from my stylist, all I got were things like, "If that's what you'd like." And $15 for what she did...I'll never pay again. I could have done that myself at home and gotten the same feedback from my wife. :) They did have all kinds of extra things you could think to want when getting a hair or beard trim...video games, TVs, water/soda, a live Santa Claus for free photo ops, etc., if you're into all that. As for me, I'm looking for a good quality cut and grooming advice when I need it. The search continues. :(

Jennifer Wheelock

Best haircuts and beard trims anywhere for men

Kai AhNee

Been going here for over a year already. This is my #1 place to go to for a haircut and I refuse to go anywhere else

Ryan Moran

Great place with talented staff, a free beer when you walk in (+21), and some retro arcade games for while you wait.

Brent Vazquez

Friendly people, good at what they do. This is the only place I've been able to find layrite hair product.

Nellie Dunlap

Love this place. Always super friendly

Scott Isaac

Great place, great people. Never been disappointed.

Glenn Horrigan II

A good place to go if you can get one of the stylists that can do a good haircut consistently. Drinks on arrival but the cost of a haircut offsets the perk. I've had really good haircuts and also several that required a fix.

Jerry Phillips

A great cut and great staff. Music and complimentary beverage is great. I do miss the posters and old decor. It's like it lost its edge that made it a great place for a men's hair cut. It is now starting to feel like a large chain , not a local barbershop...

Joseph Texas

Rates went up to 35.00. Ridiculous I have two kids and myself no way will I pay this amount for kids haircut. Owner crazy if he thinks the price will be ok with clients. They are not that good. Same haircut at the good barber for 23. Much more reasonable.
