Reviews of The Gents Place River Oaks (Barber Shop)

David H. Nguyen

I came here today for their 3 course offering. This service comes with of course a cut, shampoo and conditioning, along with a hot towel, shoe shine, and up to two alcoholic beverages. I carpooled with another individual and his appointment was right before mines, so I was able to enjoy their lounge while awaiting my turn. The lounge comes with a large screen TV with sports and I enjoyed a whiskey on the rocks. My phone was at less than 10% and I was lucky enough to take advantage of their phone chargers. Once it was my turn for the cut, it was a great experience with Meagan, she gave me a marvelous cut, with very good conversation. The towel service that following the cut was very relaxing. I was on my lunch break, but I wanted to take a nap! While, I was getting my haircut, you can have your shoes shined. So that after you have your hair styled your shoes are ready to be picked up. Overall, I loved everything about the Gents place, it's the male spa/barber, where you can get away and just enjoy what generally is a very mundane task.

Very nice location. What they offer is exactly what you will get. I received a complimentary membership and it was free. However they pulled all of the stops as if I was a member. I felt no pressure to join either. The haircut was okay, I think overtime I could help make it better with added services. Shampoo was included and shoe shine. I am looking into becoming a member. Definitely worth checking out.

Are you kidding me.... never a strip mall haircut again.... bourbon and a great men’s grooming experience. I got the 1-year plan and haven’t looked back!!!!

Arthur deBerardinis

Domingo! Best way to start the experience, friendly helpful with providing the tour and great suggestion of drink! Mary Ann my stylings was very careful with providing the exact haircut I like. Juan finished off the experience with experience only a general manager could have. Will definitely be getting my membership! Happy to be apart of the gents place family.

Love The Gents Place! Went in to check it out and am now a member. Great service, quality haircuts and nice ambiance. Lots of nice perks for members including shoe shines, discounts on products and services and who doesn't love a free drink? All of the staff has been great, though I regularly see Claire, who is awesome!

Reinel Solano

Dennis caballero

I received a free member's day pass and the appointment process was fairly simple (over text messaging). I was able to receive an appointment for the same day with Claire. She did a pretty fantastic job with my hair and treated me professionally throughout the process. At no point did I feel any pressure about signing up for their membership, although Claire did discuss what they offer, which I appreciate. I would definitely consider going back if I'm unable to get an appointment with my current barber, however, I wouldn't say that you couldn't get a haircut that's just as good for less. The experience is high end, but not a good value for money imho (unless you're into that).

Jose Bonilla

If you’re looking for a place to treat yourself, this is it. You will be warmly greeted and will receive a well made cocktail, beer or wine of choice. The staff is very friendly and professional. Definitely opt for the 5-course or above. Highly recommended.

Travis Morgan

Expensive but a quality place

La Tanya Miles

My husband was pleased!

Gily Navarro

After a horrible experience at another upscale place this morning I called the Gents Place and they book me an appointment, and I have to say, from the minute i went inside to the minute I left , I experienced the best customer service from the front desk, they gave me a tour of the place, and a complimentary whiskey (can it get better?) trust me it does!!! I was greeted all the time and everybody was professional and friendly. I have to say thank you so much to Trevor, he made me feel at ease, Trevor made me feel not just like another hair cut, his professionalism is beyond anything I experienced before any other place. And Trevor gave me a total make over! I love the new hair do, feel and look younger, definitely Trevor is very knowledgeable, I recommend his services especially if you don’t know what to do with your hair. I had curly long hair to my shoulders, Trevor took the time to assess me on what looks better for me and he was right! And did I mention that his hands are like so relaxing, I was almost falling asleep during the time he was shampooing my hair. Thank you so much Trevor!!!

Danny Willis

Love my new hairdressers, so much so that I signed up for the yearly membership. Great attentive service, great cut, face and head massage is soooo soothing and relaxing, especially with the hot towel! Products for sale in the salon are VERY expensive though, i appreciate they are high-end products but I'm also guessing these have been marked up for ROI too.

Jeff Johnson

Great place. I’ve been a few times and signed up for a membership. Sue is great with haircuts and I had a great shave from Michelle. The bar and lounge area are great for relaxing for a while with a cold drink. Highly recommend.

Kye Cockerham

The service here is so great! The shop is nice and clean constantly, you’ll feel like you’re waited on hand and foot.

DJ Stone

I came to the gents place on a free member's day to check out how they are and how the experience would differentiate from a normal hair cut place and this place is amazing with the friendly, great service, to the many other services they offer like a top shelf bar, complimentary valet, hair wash with a deep scalp massage, or hand and feet repair for the hard working man. They even have top products for sale for beards and hair. If your looking for a new barbershop then trust me come check this place out.

Robert Garcia Remmert

Yesterday was my 2nd time here and this 5 course service is phenomenal! A perfect cut and style and this face refresher is above and beyond what I expected! The art is awesome to look at and available for purchase! Everyone is professional and super nice! You have a member in me and I brought my hubby in today to treat him! We met 10 years ago Pride Weekend and he deserves the kind of service ya'll provide!

Daniel Rowell

Look at the fresh cut! Great customer service and the pros here are phenomenal! Cant wait till my next visit

Moe Barbar

It's obvious that the majority of people have good experience here but for me I had the worst hair cur ever . The Barber should have the sense of what work and what wouldnt. What I asked for is very simple, I endu up with ugly cut from the back of my head and I went to other barber shop to fix it and I end up losing most of my hair. I'm not saying the whole place is bad but this’s my experience.

Eric kiel

Today was my first time at the gents Club I will be coming back, as soon as I walked in I was greeted, they offered me my complimentary beverage and they let me know they were running a little behind due to short staff, shortly after I was given a tour and then shortly after that I was greeted by my barber Michele, she is a lovely individual she really knows how to work with curly hair from the shampooing to the style and cut to the recommendations on products she goes all out I would recommend asking for her thanks so much Michelle

Google Guide

Staff is lovely, experience is great, sales are a bit pushy, especially if they still try to offer you things once you have a membership. Complimentary valet is nice. Located in a great area, decor is very nice. Honestly it deserves the four star but isn't quite a five star.

Joshua Morales

Very nice place and professional staff. Michelle provided an outstanding experience and I received the 5 star treatment while on the member for a day pass. Overall it's a great place if you want more than a basic haircut.

Jeesoung Yi

Got a great haircut and Juan made me feel at home. Will be back for all my haircuts.

s c

You need to try it, Great service!

BOSS

This place is a great place to pamper yourself. The experience was amazing. They really know what you want when you walk in. The staff there was superb. Definitely recommend this place to my family and friends. Also will be getting the membership.

Javier Garza

Well this first time I went wasn't too bad although the haircut was not what I wanted but the rest was good. I recently received another free pass and when I called in to schedule an appointment I was told that there was a mistake and that I shouldn't have gotten another pass. I was told that they were going to look into the matter and get back with me. I never got any response after that. I had also told them that I would still like to make an appointment for Saturday and when I messaged to confirm the appointment this morning (Saturday), I was told that the appointment was not set. Great way to earn customers!! Update: The manager got in touch with me and offered a full seven course service as a courtesy to solve the issue I had. They set and appointed for me to come and Michelle gave me a great haircut and and shave. Thank you for making this thing that started out as a negative in to a positive experience. I will be recommending other people to use ya'll in the future.

Rajan B

The hairstylist cut a chunk of hair that was long with out asking and in that particular area I get a really bad cowlick when the hair is short. For someone who has 11 years of experience she should have know better as to why that area was long. It will take nearly six months to a year for that area to grow back and in the mean time I’ll be struggling to prevent the cowlick from sticking out. This was the best experience I’ve ever had getting my haircut but because of this issue I’m not going back.

Daniel Perez

The Best Barber Shop Ever... Michelle is the lady If you need a fade or razor cut.. the environment is amazing really good vibes and the employees Are amazing... the drinks are good and most of all you’ll never be disappointed.. must go to barber shop..

James

Excellent service. This is like a day spa for guys. Upscale environment and I was made to feel extremely welcomed. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Jack Simiskey

The Gent’s Place at River Oaks was the perfect place to get a hair cut, relax and get away from the responsibilities of life for an hour! They offer a superior experience to other salons!

Michael Jeter

They treated me like a king.

Presley Daniel

Great place. Great service

Christopher Schneider

I dropped in here as it is close to my office and was very impressed with the atmosphere and service. The staff and facilities are all great!

Kyrylo Butenko

Clean 10/10 Service 10/10 Atmosphere 10/10 They doing a great job. The owner really care of his business and so of his costumers. Haircut, grooming, face scrub and hot towel will cost you around $65 also they offer pedicure and neck massage. Nice and peaceful place.

Brent Young

Best atmosphere ever!!!! Everything was perfect, except for the haircut.....would be a really good gentleman's club though.

Mark G

The staff is awesome, super friendly and they know how to help you relax!!

Leonard Bonilla

Awesome, clean, friendly staff, immaculate service! Can't wait to go back, I'd reccomend this place to anyone and everyone that's looking for a quality cut and awesome hospitality

Adonis Satanerio

I went in for the first time today and this was the best haircut experience i have ever encountered. The staff is very friendly and very knowledgeable and experienced. Trevor was my stylist and he was absolutely amazing and honest if he cant do the hair style you want he will tell you straight up that he cant do it he will not mess your hair up if he cant do what want. He is a great stylist overall! I will definitely be getting a membership with them and Trevor will be my permanent stylist.

Asim Akhtar

Great place for gents to relax and get groomed. Talented staff listens to your needs and takes great care.

Richard Ochoa

The service was incredible and the pampering was better. Will be coming back. The stylists are superb.

Matthew Baumgarten

Excellent and professional services. My haircut was styled and cut exactly the way I like it

Nobel Macaden

Fantastic men’s salon - they treat you like royalty from the moment you walk in - from the haircut to the shampoo/facial/other optional treatments to the complimentary drinks. My assigned specialist, Clare, did an amazing job from start to finish!

Savory Basil

Man I was truely astonished going into this place my first thoughts were could they cut my texture of hair ?is it worth it? Man the booked me in and I had to change my appointment to an earlier time which they got me through no problem!! The service was absolutely amazing!! Michelle was a professional boss! This nice and outstanding woman gave me the best service. Treated the young guy like a king!! I would highly recommend the course 7 the pear hand treatment and eucalyptus facial scrub took the bags from under my eyes back to my pockets!!lol if you want a full scale service Go here today beautiful location and great scenery!!!!

Antonio Calvin

Came in with a 3-course offer, Stacie cut my hair and explained everything to me very well. Haircut was on point. This place is pricy if you come in for a haircut without a membership. As long as you don't mind paying for a year worth of haircuts up front, their membership options are actually quite reasonable. It seems like hair stylists are required to offer you hair products they used on you at check out (just like other chains), I find that to be a little weird since they literally placed a bunch of products by the register like you are really buying them. A good experience overall.

James Roman

As someone who is a very particular about getting a hair cut - this place is great. I got the basic 3 course hair service. The staff was very friendly and helpful, my stylist (Jennifer) did a great job with my hair and was helpful in working with me to get what I wanted, the "relaxation room" where they wash and condition your hair and give you a hot face towel was wonderful - I felt like I was at a spa, and the complimentary drink was just the cherry on top. The facility itself was also very clean. I will definitely be returning and am already looking forward to my next visit.

Jason Swofford

I've done business with these folks for a while at other places in town and the service is great. If you are no fuss (like me), it's a great spot. If you like a little fuss, then it's a great spot too. Staff makes you feel comfortable and welcome no matter your style. Good deal on the memberships and services provided. Make sure to use it. Valet service, but usually a spot or two in front and more on the backside of the building. I drop my shoes off for a shine before having lunch or dinner at one of the restaurants in the complex. Convenient.

Blake Hawkins

Great service , awesome place. Sierra did a great job and I found my new place to get my hair cut

Billy Ovalles

Great service

Rolanda Ridley

They gave my boyfriend an awesome haircut!

Andrew Glasoe

I always look forward to my upcoming appointments with Sue and the staff at The Gents Place. From the moment you walk in you're treated like a guest and offered a beverage of your choice (and not just a light beer like most places -- Johnnie Walker Black is my go-to). Sue is personable, funny, engaging and most importantly, does a fantastic job at delivering a great haircut. She takes her time with you every time and makes you feel like you're her only client. I signed up for the annual pass -- I figured with what I spend on haircuts anyway, the complementary beverages and shoe shines were just icing on the cake. Went with what they call the 3-Course package and have twice splurged for the 5-Course. So relaxing and rejuvenating. The entire staff is extremely attentive and accommodating and the focus on customer service obviously starts at the top. The owner, Jeff, stepped up when a third-party affiliate was having issues with a promotion -- totally out of his control but he took care of his customer. Go see Sue at The Gents Place. Seriously.

Vincent Varghese

Serivce at location great but the reservation department (which I think is corporate) is horrible. Phone calls never go through and never get a return on email or voicemails. I even got a message saying I was contacting outside of regular business hours when I left my message at 11am

Alberto Torres

Just had the complimentary 3 course club. I walked in, and was immediately greeted by two wonderful people. I was given a tour of the entire place and ended with meeting my hair stylist, Sue. She was absolutely amazing. She educated me about my hair and what I can do to further nourish it. I upgraded to the 5 course club for a small charge, and I must say, it was the BEST experience I’ve ever had. I’m defiitely going to become a member, and I’ll definitely be asking for Sue again! Amazing service!!!

Christopher Hopeck

I would not go anywhere else in the City for a haircut or nice relaxing day at the spa. Sue and her staff go out of their way to deliver an out of this world experience. If you want to look and feel good I suggest you come to the Gents and treat yourself.

Edgar Torres

Excellent customer service. The staff is very professional and passionate about their work. Great results, and worth every penny. Highly recommended.

Taylor Osborne

First and foremost, they have excellent service and a unique concept. Every haircut comes with 2 drinks (I.e. mixed drinks, wine, beer or even nonalcoholic beverages), as well as a consultation/ recommendation regarding your hair style, a professional/custom-tailored haircut, a free shampoo session in a dark quiet/peaceful room to get loose hairs off your head/face/neck as well as a hot eucalyptus towel for your face to relax you. Then they either touch-up your haircut if you aren’t fully satisfied or apply product to style it for you. Trevor cut my hair and did a great job- - -I highly recommend him. And Ciara did a great job on the guy next to me, which I know because it looked good and he raved about his haircut. The ladies behind the counter (Angel, Victoria and Jeannette) are sweethearts who recommended various products and explained the benefits of joining the club but weren’t foreceful or overbearing. I had a great experience and recommend this place to anybody looking for a great haircut and unique experience. 5 stars!

Patrick Levy

My first experience today at Gents Place was amazing. I went in for a free introductory day pass, and was offered an upgrade to the 7 course experience for a small fee. I went ahead with the additional services and it was great all around. The haircut was the first step, and it came out really well. The stylist/barber Stacie did excellent cutting my hair and gave me all sorts of tips and recommendations for my hair type. She remained professional always and did not pressure me into anything or any products that Gents Place carries. I cannot recall the name of the masseuse but the hand dip, face refresh, and neck massage were all great as well. This experience definitely beats going to a traditional barber shop, especially with the benefit of appointments. No long waits and your time is treated valuably. I signed up for a membership before I left.

Dante

Epic hair cut experience.

Scott Carpenter

Jolien was great! Great service at a great price. I highly recommend this place.

Darren Carleton

place was great. the staff very professional and friendly. i loved the drinks. it is overpriced the only reason I came is because I had a coupon for a free cut and experience. the haircut was not very good but who can complain about free. now IF I became a member and paid for the services, I would have been pissed.

Mark Ocana

If your a guy, this is where you go for some "me time and pampering", really great stylist. Join the membership, its worth it

Michael Bass

Fantastic experience here. Please ask for sue, does and exceptional job. Great perks and upgrades as well!

Christopher Daniel

I have been coming here a year and always get treated a 1st class treatment. Juan the manager is very professional and courteous to all his staff and clientele.

J.R. Esparza

Awesome customer service and a very nice place. Just be ready to climb stairs, as they are on the 2nd floor.

Rich vdB

Best haircut I ever received! This place is awesome for relaxing and soothing treatment after your hard day or week. The welcomed me with a drink and offer cuts, massages, shoeshine... everything you can imagine and space to chill and even have meetings. I arrived late for my appointment but Sue made it happen and gave me a great cut. I soon forgot my stressful day. Great gift for your dad or husband. I’m definitely going back!

Robair Thomas

Amazing place. Michelle was awesome. The atmosphere was comfortable. I love this place.

armando camarillo

Very nice place, excellent haircut.

Steven Levinson

I had a 5 Star Experience Claire took great care of me and i felt very comfortable.

Nayeem Chowdhury

Great experience with walk in and yearly memberships. The barbers are very good and you can enjoy a free beverage while you get your haircut. Highly recommend the 5 course haircut.

Bryan Hill

What a great place for gents! Totally worth it, I will definitely be coming back!

Vivek Reddy

Really enjoy the experience here.

Corwin Meyer

Men. Look no further. Do not be enticed by one bottle of shiner and a subpar haircut at an imposter. The Gents Place has a level of sophistication that I have long been looking for. You truly feel like you’re a member of a social club. The entire staff is inviting and welcoming. Sue, manager of the Hair team, is topnotch. She is a true professional and leads a tight ship. Each haircut comes with multiple top shelf drinks. Beer, whiskey, vodka, wine you name it. There is an actual bar where people hang out and network before and after. They have a private lounge area for people needing to attend to business during their work day. Need your shoes shined? No problem. The Gents Place has a great setup for that as well. And if you are a member you get multiple complimentary shines a month. I’m not one for all the extras but if you are they seem to have that covered. Saw something about nose waxes and hand rubs. Hey, whatever floats your boat. This is not a run of the mill trendy Haircut shop. This is truly a professional and country club like experience. The owner, Jeff Stocks, was in during my visit and it is extremely clear how much he cares about the success of this company. Do yourself a favor and try it out. Hope to bump into you sometime. Only recommendation was that they add Coors Light to the menu. Ha. Oh and don’t forget that the valet works for The Gents Place as well. So drop your keys off and walk on up.

Chris Johnson

I loved my experience. Even with my home emergencies I was still easily relaxed at every turn. The staff, environment and atmosphere are inviting and lively. It is a mans spa and style for the Man's man. I recommend a visit at least once because that's all it will take to get you hooked.

Jay Pratts

Im from nyc so me say that it’s the Best haircut i ever had!!!!! I mean it! Never seen a bar/lounge in a barbershop either!!

genehy Diaz De La Cruz

Joseph Zawacki

Comfortable, relaxing and friendly staff. Perfect place for more than just a haircut and to recharge.

Rasheed Lowery

4.875 / 5.000 I used a free membership pass my first time a few months ago with Barber and Educator, Michelle Hernandez. She was assertive, professional, and communicative about how I wanted my experience to be. They cleaned my head, face and shoes with attention to detail. For context (and a story), I had no money, I was moving, and had recently just been fired from my job, which wasn't paying enough. My emotions were in the deep, but they embraced them. My self-esteem was low - I needed a nice cut. What I got was empathy and professionalism the whole way. Dude up front (didn't get his card) impressed me with his shoe handling skills! I mean, my shoes needed HELP, but I didn't know how much. The entire experience had me walking out overjoyed.. If you've never had your self-care done like this, I recommend this place.

David Hobson

This place is pricey, but it offers a premium service. The hair care I received was excellent and my stylist was very friendly. Worth a try if you are looking for something above and beyond a typical barber.

Nick Taylor

Top notch service from beginning to end. From the moment you walk into the establishment, you're taken care of. Highly recommend to anyone who needs a quality service. Exceptional hair cuts, in a timely manner.

Rod Branch

It just doesn’t get better then this!! High end drinks, complementary shoe shine, high quality haircut and service. I will be back again and again. Great hair products too!! Staff is first class!
