The Boardroom Salon for Men

I got a beard trim here and the service was great. Brandon is very knowledgeable about styles and techniques. The place also gives you a beer while you wait so that always a good thing! Make sure you try to get a reservation because it gets pretty busy.

I’m shocked this place has such great reviews. Maybe my fiancé went to the wrong person twice because I’ve hated both of his haircuts/​beard trim. He decided to go here because he was desperate for a haircut and they were the only shop that had the same day appointment open. After pointing out the flaws, he has decided that he’ll go back to his usual place to get his hair cut fixed.

Summer has been taking fantastic care of me for the past year. She always does a great job with my hair, and I enjoy the service at The Boardroom Salon. Definitely worth every penny for a professional cut, wash, and chair massage. Complimentary beverages while you wait. Great location with plenty of parking

I have been a member of the Boardroom Salon for approximately two years, and I been extremely satisfied with the service. I used to go to Visible Changes, and while I was very satisfied with my haircuts, I would typically have to wait anywhere between 15 to 30 minutes after my scheduled appointment time to be seen. Since the Boardroom Salon caters to a male clientele, I have never had an issue getting in for my scheduled haircut on time. The scalp massage and quick facial and arm massage that come with the benchmark package were not what originally drew me to the Boardroom, but I have come to appreciate those as a nice, welcome relaxing add-​on. The salon uses higher-​end products, mostly from Bumble & Bumble or Jack Black. I will never say the Boardroom Salon is for the person on a shoestring budget, but if you have extra disposable income and your hair is important to you, I think it’s well worth the price, particularly if you get a membership.
While I have had great haircut experiences during my whole membership with the Boardroom (I used to book based on convenience of time, rather than going to a dedicated stylist), I can’t say enough great things about Summer. She has the perfect balance of understanding exactly what I want, while also feeling comfortable offering up suggestions for something new, or also reeling me back in if there is something I want to try that may not work out the way I intended. I am very thankful to her for keeping my hair looking great!

I just left from there & it was by far the best all-​around-​service I’ve received from a hair salon. I only wish I would have indulged and enjoyed a complimentary beer! Well worth the money.

This is not your average barbershop. This place is customized to the more sophisticated man, who enjoys being pampered and treated like royalty. If your’re like me, than you’re willing to shell out a few extra bucks to get the full relaxing experience that your corner barber just can’t deliver.
Pros include pool table, choice of beer, skilled staff, relaxing hair wash/​massage.

Just started growing my facial hair and this is the place to go! Being new to this, Karrie Lee was able to explain everything in regards to my maintenance. She did a phenomenal job and made an appointment before I left. Highly recommend.

I have been here three times and expect to go many more. Sue is my stylist. She has been very pleasant and her client service skills are A+. I am a bit of a snob with it comes to picking a salon. I don’t mind spending the $$$ if the service and environment suits it. I’ve been to Salon’s that charge $ 80 a cut. Over at Boardroom it is half that price and the service that I receive is double that of the high end salon’s I have been in and around Houston. They offer brand name drinks or bottled water. When I go I get the Benchmark haircut. It offers the following.
Personal consultation (This does sound more complicated than it really is though, they basically ask how you want your haircut.)
Tailored Cut (I assume they cut it the way you prefer)
Rejuvenating paraffin hand dip (This is pretty cool, I like it.)
Energizing shampoo and conditioning
Scalp massage (Always nice to have a good massage to get your blood flow going.)
Pressure-​point facial massage
Steamed towel (Never thought something so simple can be so nice.)
Stress relieving hand massage (For all of us who text a lot, this is great!)
Cleansing rinse
Finishing touch styling

About a year ago my wife told me it was time I get a «real» haircut so I tried out the Boardroom in hopes of making her happy. I started off going to the Heights location and had a wonderful experience there, and also got the stamp of approval from the wife which is no easy feat. After switching jobs to a firm in the Galleria I decided to give the new Galleria location a try. I have been equally impressed with the high level of customer service and relaxed atmosphere. Sue does an excellent job and is always friendly and professional. I get my haircut every 1 – 2 weeks so the annual membership is a great value. The Benchmark is a must, in my opinion. I used to dread going to get my haircut, but now look forward to it.

Don’t know where to start. Guys, this is the place to go if you want to be treated like a King! Brandon did an awesome job on my cut and the service from the minute you open the door is tremendous. After my first visit, I’m definitely thinking about getting a membership.

I had the most comfortable and amazing wax today. Not to mention my haircut was just as fantastic. Thank you Summer

I didn’t think a men’s salon could f up a beard trim but this place can! It is sad that it is a men’s salon and they can’t do a beard trim!!! I would not recommend this place too anyone!!!

This place can be hard to find if you’re not familiar with the area. It was my first time in and I’m glad to say I’ll be back. The ladies at the front were very courteous. Kristian was my barber. I have a top knot and just needed a low bald fade and a trim up top. He was very thorough and paid very close attention to detail. One thing I look for beyond a good cut is good conversation. They also offer package deals which I will be purchasing.
Tl;dr– if you’re in the market to be a pampered man, go here. You will not be disappointed.

The problem here is all about the price/​value ratio. My barber, Kristian, was very nice and skillful. I left looking good (or at least as good as I ever look — which is not very good). And the atmosphere is really pleasant and laid back. But; but — $ 40 for the basic cut? Really? Unless there’s a straight razor shave involved (there isn’t) $ 40 is too much for a cut like mine.
It’s so nice that I may be back sometime. But only if I’m up a creek again, with messy hair and a court date looming. (relax, I’m a lawyer).

This place lives up to the great reviews. The staff is always professional and courteous. I’m somewhat picky but Sue gave me an awesome haircut. From the first visit, she was confident I’d be happy with the results and I was! The membership is pricey but it’s worth it. I signed up at the spot after I saw the results from the first visit.
I also got a beard trim done by Drey and another time by Kristian. Both did a great job.
The only weird thing I found about the place is the lighting. There are spotlights from the ceiling that cast dark shadows on the face so it’s hard to see the results right away. I think there needs to be improvement on the lighting big time. Nonetheless, the staff is always very nice. They’ll hand you a hand mirror or whatever you need to provide feedback during the process. Anyways, I like this place a lot and I’m going every week (thanks to the membership).

When it comes to my haircut, my style and how my hair is cut is rather simple and easy. It’s because of this simple and straightforward haircut that I expect the best and a perfect haircut every time. That’s where The Boardroom comes into play. Sue has been cutting my hair for nearly 3 years and I previously went to Sport Clips for haircuts.
I was a bit hesitant to try The Boardroom, but now that I’m a regular, I can’t imagine going anywhere else for my haircut. The entire staff is both professional and fun at the same time. The stylists know what you want in a haircut. And if not, they will get it right. The front desk will always greet you with a friendly face and is very helpful in scheduling appointments. A big advantage of the boardroom is the ability to schedule appointments weeks in advance and really plan when your haircuts will be. Don’t worry about parking; plenty of free parking at the new Galleria location.
I believe that you get what you pay for. If you want a perfect haircut and great experience every time, then The Boardroom is the place to go.

I’d give more stars if I could! There’s definitely an upscale feeling to the place and the level of service is just the icing on the cake!
First of all, I’m very critical of who cuts my hair & beard and how. I was lucky enough to come across another review on Unilocal that dropped «Drey» name as the man with the magic hands so I decided to give him a shot as my barber was out of town. I’ve been going to the same barber for 3 years now and have refused to try anyone else but I was in desperate need of a last minute cut so I visited the conveniently located Galleria location.
Hands down the best barber experience I’ve ever received! My beard trim and fade was perfect. I was so impressed with the friendly staff and quality of cut by Drey that I bought an annual membership for unlimited benchmark cuts at all boardroom salons and comes with a $ 500 gift card to Balani Custom Clothiers.
Since my first visit I’ve probably visited every 5 days and the level of service has continued to impress. Melissa is a great receptionist who is always welcoming and willing to help. Stephanie is also very friendly and gives a great executive facial experience.
Ultimately, if you’re looking for «just a cut» then the boardroom isn’t the place for you. As a hard working man who appreciates the finer things in life… I’ll never go back to the alternative.

Said «Walk-​Ins Welcome» on the door. Great! I walked in. I asked for a hair cut. The lady replied «I’m sorry we have no appointments available right now. The next available appointment isn’t until 3pm» (an hour or so later). I walked out.
Using the word appointments conflicts with the concept of walk-​in. And to say you are walk in friendly indicates a business model less appointment oriented.
I’m sure walk-​ins are still welcome, but not this one.

Best. Haircut. Ever.
I am a cheap ass. I used to find the places that would send a free haircut coupon in the mail, but once I find someone who cuts it well, I stick with them. Then I discovered Sports Clips. Hot towel and scalp massage for $ 22, i’m IN. Sue B. cut my hair there for about 6 months, and she MOVED. Oh well, onto the next lady… but the next lady, was not even close to as good.
Then i found out Sue moved to a pricey place called the Boardroom. I figured I’d give it a shot, and now I am HOOKED. This place is the real-​deal, full-​service, shoulder massage with a hot towel, beer when you walk in, parafin wax (is that how you spell it) with a hand massage to boot. I mean, its AWESOME! How much you ask? Only $ 30…more than a typical haircut. Yikes.
BUT if you buy the membership (which clearly I did) it is totally worth it. I get my hair cut every 2 – 3 weeks, and it ends up being like $ 35 a haircut/​massage which lasts 45 min.
If you decide to go, ask for Sue and tell her I sent you!

I was a little skeptical going in but I came out a changed man. It’s hard finding a good barber in this town.
Top notch service. I’ll definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a new barber and I’ll definitely be returning
