Cheap haircuts

Tyler Stein

Been getting my haircuts here since i moved to Austin in July 2013, can't beat a real barber shop cut. Pros: great cut, no salon smell, affordable Cons: can be a bit of a wait I guess this review is specifically for Greg, the barber in the front, as he is the only barber that cuts my hair.

Aaron Smith

First time there and Robert cut my hair. Definitely recommend and will definitely be back.

Sean Gilliland

Always a good cut from Ty Cobb

Justin Ripple

Decided to try this place since it is so close to my work. I was pretty displeased. Vickie did my hair. I brought in a picture for reference but still had to keep telling her to change things. She didn't clipper the sides short enough and when I told her she said to wait until she was done and then she could go shorter. So when she was done I told her to go shorter. The cut looked nothing like the picture I brought in. The barber in the back seemed to know what he was doing. Might have gone back to see him if I didn't have such a bad experience. Lots of old folks in this shop. Not for someone wanting a younger do. Looks like it's back to Birds for me.

Anime Pro

One of the best barbers in the North Austin area.

Danny Kilpatrick

Took me years to find a barber shop where any single person who cuts my hair does a great job. Been going here for years, and recently moved half an hour away. However, I still drive here to get my haircut. Only accepts cash, but prices are very fair and everyone is very friendly. Highly recommend.

Greg Fuller

Greg cut my hair. Professional, friendly, affordable. Took the time to make sure it was just right. Best haircut I've had in 20 years.

Larry Pali

I started going to Jollyville Barber Shop a few months ago. Vicki has cut my hair twice and she does a great job. They are all very detailed in their cutting of hair. I would highly recommend them. They do get busy and it takes about 20 to 30 minutes for a hair cut.

Travis Thomas

Ask for Robert solid dude

Roger Ludlow

I have been coming here for over 20 years, good haircuts but no appointments so you may have to wait.

Jikku Venkat

Been going here for 20+ years. They are just outstanding!

Kenneth Dublin

Always consistent good work

Randy Hamme

This is what a barbershop used to be and still can be. A good cut for a decent price, staff that remember you, and the simple atmosphere you used to be able to get at your neighborhood barbershop.

Thomas Vogel

Like the way the people there behave as well as the style and furniture of the place itself

daniel cruz

Great shop Ty took his time with my beard and trimmed it perfectly. Will definitely go back again!!! Btw CASH ONLY!!

Ali Kazmi

I'm picky, been to a lot of barber shops. Now I always get my haircut from Greg or Ty at this location. They're really friendly, take their time and do a great job.

Chris Simon

They take the time to give you a quality cut. $15 - cash only.

Ashish Marediya

Great haircuts at an affordable price! They take their time with your hair and make sure to ask questions to better suit your needs, I highly recommend Jollyville Barber Shop. I personally get my hair cut by Greg and he always does a fantastic job, others wait on Ty but more often than not, you might be there for a while if Ty is who you want. 5/5

Bryan Bradsby

Ty Cobb is the best barber for beards in Austin.

MrChuRostafur

The place to go if you want a great cut that's not choppy! And a fair price!

Karthik Bollepalli

Been a customer for the past 5 yrs. I always ask for Tye. He is the best. Friendly, professional, courteous, and skilled. Old school barber shop with very affordable prices.

Michael Lay

Good old style real barbershop. Steady customer base and great barbers that know their stuff.

Seth Gholson

This is what a "barbershop" should be. The wait wasn't too bad when I arrived. Two barbers were there and each had someone in their chair. I waited around 20-25 minutes. During the wait I noticed both Robert and Vicky were taking their time and had an attention to detail. When I was up, I received a great cut. It was just what I asked for. She was cautious about taking off too much, since it had been a while since my last cut and she made me feel like she really wanted to get it right by encouraging me to critique it in any way. The only reason this isn't an "Excellent" rating is because it was cash/check only. I'd love to be able to use my card on a Square reader or something like that, but I do understand why they haven't really bothered. Nonetheless, I've found my local barbershop.

Santiago Rodilla Pamo

They are really good. The service is perfect, prices are good. I will come back. Totally recomended!!!!

Oma Dawn

I've been going here for about 5 years and it's the only place I'll go.

Neil Busmente

Ok 4.8 stars is a total lie! Nice people but damn the lady who did my hair totally did not know how to work with my headshape, I went home looked in the mirror the sides are uneven and unlclean with patches of hair still sticking out, very disappointed... I hated it, also I wanted to keep my top longer but she kept cutting anyways,I'm sorry but I am never going back.

Shab

We found this awesome place by luck and based on the great reviews posted. Robert was amazing and did a phenomenal job with my son's hair, we took him to other salons and the stylists didn't feel confident cutting his very Curly hair. We're from out of state and willing to come here every few months so he can get his cuts here

Jonathan Kaiser

High quality and skilled.

Ross Hageman

Great place simple, and good cuts!

Rakesh Sharma

Really great haircut

Bennie Lloyd

Best in the world

Niven Anghar

High quality and highly skilled. I always look forward to my monthly visit for a trim and pleasant conversation.

Timothy Bond

For real barber shop.

Juan Castelan

Great professional place but it just takes for ever to get a haircut

Mitchell Schallenberg

I have been going to this barber shop for 14 years now. I have had days where I wait 2-3 hours for ty, which can get very annoying but it doesn’t happen all the time because you have to know the right times to go. I have never seen racism, tempers, or any other such matter discussed in some of the low ratings in the reviews in the 14 years I have been going here. If you want a haircut from a man who really cares about customer satasfaction and precision, go to ty. I have never met someone as talented as him in this field. He is well worth the wait.

John Mayson

The best place in town for a haircut. Don't even bother with the chain unisex salons. The people who work here are BARBERS and know how to cut men's hair. Guys, if you even remotely care about your appearance, get your hair cut at a barber shop and if you're in northwest Austin, Cedar Park, or Round Rock, stop in and say "hi" to Ty and the gang.

Derek Hamilton

This quality establishment offers guys the time-honored traditions of a local barber shop. The barbers are skilled and offer efficient, courteous service. The conversation is as good as the haircuts. Come in and support this local business. You'll be glad you did!

Paul Van Driessche

They cut right every time! Owner onboard.

Mukund Kumar

overall good one.

Travis Newhouse

I've been to several barber shops in Austin including Birds, The Wooten, Redd's, Floyd's 99 and Avenue Barber Shop and none hold a candle. Not to metion a cut and beard trim only cost me $20 and they do strait razor shaves and cut the part with a strait razor. That's unique for sure. This is a true old school shop. Skilled, experienced and true licensed barbers but stick with one of the guys to do the cut. I live downtown and make the drive to this shop.

Joe K

Great old school barber shop. No frills- just good haircuts at a fair price. The shop is small and super dated, which makes it cool.

Clayton Floyd

You will leave this place with a very good haircut, so let me explain the 3 star rating. I've had my hair cut by 4 different barbers at this location. Only one time was I not pleased with my haircut, and it was the lady barber that cut it. The other 3 barbers were very good at cutting hair, but there were some issues with 2 of them. The barber in the back corner is a young guy with a lot tattoos and he I great a cutting hair. He started telling me some really weird stuff about how all the leaders of the world are aliens and lighter skinned people come from this "alien" royal bloodline. It was really tripped out and didn't really bother me a lot, but I think it would make some more conservative or older people uncomfortable. I haven't seen him the past few times I have been in, so he may not work there anymore. The barber in the first chair when you walk in has cut my hair several times, and he always looks and acts pissed off. He is great at cutting hair, but he has lost his temper a few times when I have been in there, once while he was cutting my hair. Both times it made the whole shop uncomfortable, and I saw people walk out the last time It happened. He got pissed off because there were only two barbers in there, and he yelled, "I've got stuff to do and I don't want to be standing around here all day." This was in the middle of my hair cut. He then stared slamming stuff down, combing my hair real aggressively, huffing and puffing, etc. People started to walk out after his flare up. He did apologize to me, and my hair cut was really good. It was a pretty uncomfortable situation. They are also very busy most of the time, and most people are waiting on Ty, who is also the owner. He is excellent. I usually get my haircut there when visiting family, but I don't know if the wait time, stoner talk, and hostility is worth affordable-high quality haircut.

Michael Louviere

Been going there for years now and have never been let down.

Michael Seaback

Nice barber shop! Good cuts...

Purepecha Guerrero

Cordial people cool .the real way of hair cutting. Cash only.

joshua parker

Gave this place a chance because of barber licensing. First haircut, gentleman didn't fulfill my request of not cutting a certain part of my hair, which he did, he apologized, it's ok. So the second visit, aka jollyville barber redemption time, but that's not the case. The second visit the barber did not scissor cut top of my head, and I didn't find out till a day later, i went to make my "do" and realized there was to much hair on top to do what I always do. The frequency of errors this barber shop has lead me to believe that their is no notable difference between cosmologists and barbers. There is no difference between super cuts and these guys.

Sairam Pathi

Awesome barbershop with great prices. I got a haircut and a beard trim and was very pleased! Check them out.

William Wilkins

They might be slow and old fashioned but they are the best!

krishna ambati

They are very skillful and patient..great service

Anirudha a.r

Amazing place . If can call a barber shop authentic you have to call this it . So old school they don't accept cards

Kenneth Renard

Awesome talent and excellent prices. Great customer service.

sean payne

As mentioned previously, cash only business. They don't take reservations. But they do great work. Expect a 45minute-hour wait if you go during peak times, but its definitely worth it.

Nafees Muhammad

The best. Attention to the details. They will transform you. Must go place if you have never been to a barber shop for a haircut.

Austin McDonald

Great hair cut. I prefer Ty or Robert myself. Be warned, the wait can be as long as two hours on a Saturday, but that isn't anything to take away stars for.

Hamid Velji

Old school great.

Samuel Himawan

it's a man place, one ladies stylist tho.

Rick Foos

Ty is a second generation barber. He has put together an awesome barber shop. I drive 20 miles to go here.

Ricardo Leveck

My first visit was the best experience I have had at a barber shop. Excellent cut and beard trim. Ty really knows his craft. He is calm and friendly. I will recommend this place to friends and family.

Jacob Smith

Decided to give this place a shot because of the good reviews. Been looking for a good barber shop to get my beard trimmed at and get the occasional trim for my really long hair. They did not disappoint in the least. The wait was about what I expected, not short, but not terribly long either. The staff were friendly, competent, and actually listened to what I wanted done. The conversation during the cut was good and it was overall a very satisfying experience. I will be back again.

Daniel Cintra

First time in an old school barbershop in Austin (actually first time in USA). Ty was very careful to details and conversation was very good as the haircut.

Arthur Claus

Great cuts reasonable prices and nice people

Brian McDonough

Reasonably priced, love to support local small business, took my 4 year old there for haircuts for both of us, friendly staff, very impressed

pat holmes

Collin Cutrone McMichael
