South Austin Barber Shop

I’m going to get right to the point: this barbershop is probably one of the best barbershops in Austin.
Whether you want a clean, classic scissor cut or an unbelievable fade and edge-​up with a straight razor, the South Austin Barbershop will leave you satisfied and coming back for more. I almost gave up my search for finding a barber that would take his time and perfect my hair, to tell you the truth, but Ramses Polanco proved to be just the guy I needed. I’ve been to Finley’s and Floyd’s and never came back — they’ve messed up my hair to the point where it’s been 4 months and I’m still recovering from the $ 30, half-​ass job they called a «haircut». I honestly never thought I’d never find as good of a barber as my hometown barber back in Dallas. Ramses willingly takes as long as you need him to in order to get your hair looking crisp and get you feeling confident! He and the other barbers create an incredibly laid-​back atmosphere which is sure to make you feel comfortable during your visit and in a better mood when you leave. Book your appointment early to ensure you get a seat in this gem of a barbershop!

Marcos, Marcos, Marcos! Best haircut I have ever had. Detailed and meticulous. After the awesome cut, I had to try the straight razor shave. I’ve never treated myself to one, but knew he was the one who could do it. Incredible! Nothing like it. I left feeling and looking like a VIP.

I don’t let anyone else cut my hair, without fail Ramses always keeps me looking clean and sharp. I have been getting my hair cut here for the last 3 – 4 years, and as long as this place is here, Ramses will be my barber.

Ramses is the man, a true master of his craft. Really takes his time and makes sure you are perfectly satisfied with your cut.

Simple. Professional. Excellent service with a great attitude. You will not be disappointed. Schedule online at
Easily accessible in south Austin. Try them and you will become a regular.

For real this is what a Men’s Barber Shop should be. Professional and on time, make sure you make an appointment because Ramsey is always booked. Why because his cuts are on point! Hands down I drive 45 minutes to get my fade and hot towel shave by Ramz.

I no longer live in Austin but when I did for 2 years, Ramses (who cuts at this shop) was my barber and he is one of the best in the game. He’s the type of barber who not only leaves you looking fresh as Hell but maintains a shop that is clean, fun, engaging & relaxed.
I highly recommend Ramses to anyone trying to come correct and know that if I’m ever in back in Austin lookin dusty (for SxSW, a friend’s wedding, whatever) that I would make an appointment with him and be in good hands.

Came in here because my hair person decided to leave the business. Walked in and saw a dude with a hot towel around his face… knew immediately this was the place for me. Ramz was the guy who cut my hair and let me tell you: I finally-​finally-​had someone cut my hair exactly the way I wanted it done. I met the owner Tom (who happened to walk in) and after spending time speaking with the guys in there I knew this was the type of small business I had to support. Luckily, my hair grows like a weed and I’ll be coming in for both a haircut and a beard trim soon. That girl who isn’t in the biz anymore? Forgotten.

I always get a professional haircut with razor edge and Bejin black color for pop on the beard and Ramses never lets me down. Most barbers is Austin don’t even offer some of the services he offers. Always a professional atmosphere and the best cut in this entire city. If you want to look your best, come here.

I usually hate every haircut I get, but not this one! Comfortable environment and super friendly people. Will go back for my next one.
