Barber Shop Downtown

Was in town for vacation and Abram fit me in at the last moment to give me a great cut and shave!

Great service old-​school barber shop. Prices are fair. Manny will do you right. Highly recommend.

I will not exaggerate in saying that this is the best haircut I have ever had. Being a Marine, I am required to get weekly haircuts. Often times, the only accessible barber on base gets hair wrong. The gentlemen here were able to not only deliver a fantastic haircut, but also were extremely friendly. If you are looking for an old fashion barber shop, this is the place to go.

Great place, very traditional feel. I live in Austin but work in San Antonio, and it’s great to find a barber shop that isn’t full of tattoos, PBR, and ironic mustaches — just had to drive to San Antonio to find it. Very friendly service. The place is busy, so call ahead. I saw Abram, he did a great job and I’ve already set up a standing appt.

20 dollars for a perfect cut! Friendly guys and very professional. I will be back next time I’m in town.

Classic cuts by old school barbers. Manny is my usual, but I’ll go to Lee if our schedules don’t work. $ 20 for a haircut that includes a clean up with a straight razor. Can’t bet that. Shaves are $ 25. If you’ve never treated yourself to a barbershop shave dudes, you need to. It’s relaxing and your partner won’t be able to stop touching you when you get home, you’ll be so smooth. You can also get your shoes shine.
Playboys to «read» are on top of the TV usually. You’re welcome.
Cash only! There’s an ATM across the hall from them if you forget.

Took me in last minute… great cut and great beard trim. Lee is straight up. Highly recommended.

This barber shop is definitely worth the drive for me and my son! I live in Live Oak, TX but the service and quality of the cut that was given will definitely keep us coming back. I had been on the hunt for a good old fashioned barber shop for my 7 year old son for quite some time. He’s been going to a barber since he was little and unfortunately his childhood barber retired and I was devastated that I would never find someone else as good as him. I had been to those chain men’s haircut places but they could never give me the classic boys haircut that I was looking for, well today Manny, my sons barber did it right! I was so pleased with the end result, he looked so handsome! From what I noticed while I was waiting they also do shoe shines, straight edge shaving, and chair massage. Wow, what service! The barber shop is located in the basement of the Gunther Hotel and if you tell them you are there for an appointment the parking is free (something I was not aware of until today) nevertheless there is a parking lot across the street that was only $ 3.00 just in case the lot at the hotel is full. It truly is a unique and authentic place and worth visiting if you are from out of town or live here in San Antonio. The prices are affordable and I tipped well because I was very pleased with the end result. Thanks to Manny for the excellent service and we will be back again!

If you work or live in the vicinity of downtown, you really should be ashamed if you aren’t coming here. Old school barber shop — great cuts at fair prices. I’ve been coming for 15 years. In other words, I’m a short timer! Lee is more of a friend than my barber. He’s quick with a joke, and love talking music, sports. Really, you should check it out.

Excellent place for a haircut. Got a nice cut, and talked fishing with Lee for 30 minutes. Dave does a good job. I will return when I get back to San Antonio from Louisiana

You won’t find many old-​time barber shops like this one. Honest, good haircuts with great barbers with personalities; and even a shoe shine person. Lee Bosmans is the owner and best barber I know. Lee started cutting my hair in the 1990’s when I lived in New Braunfels and worked in San Antonio. In 2000, I moved to Corpus Christi and continued to return to the Gunter Barbershop for my haircuts with Lee. I moved to the Houston area and still return to have Lee to cut my hair (actually straighten it out from the bad cuts I get when I can’t make it to SA) every chance I get. The Gunter Barbershop is in the basement of the old Gunter Hotel in downtown San Antonio. Just try them. I promise you won’t be disappointed. Be sure to call ahead for an appointment. Manny and David are also great barbers; I’m just partial to Lee because he has been taking such good care of me for so long. Lee also does a fabulous old-​time barber shop straight razer shave, too.

Old school men’s barber shop. Straight razor neck shave every time. Just enough chit chat without being stand-​offish or obtrusive. You could (and should) read the paper while you’re getting a cut. Free parking in the Sheraton Valet lot (entrance on St. Mary’s). Call ahead and make a same day appointment. $ 20 for the whole sha-​bang-​a-​bang. Tip well, they’re pros.

Lee is the only barber in San Antonio I ever let cut my hair.

One of the best haircuts my husband has ever had. When we arrived in San Antonio for a class at the Culinary Institute he was in very bad need of a cut. We saw the review by James and gave it a try. Manny did an excellent job. Walked right in, got the cut including a straight razor shaping and neck shave (mark of a good barber). Will go again if we ever make it back to San Antonio. Cut was $ 20.

I came to San Antonio for a week and I was in need of a hair cut. I called the barber shop that was located in a beautiful sherton hotel. My barber’s name was Dave, I was running late and Dave kept the shop open late for me. Thank you dave for that! I was impressed just by the atmosphere and the old school look. The other barber stayed late with us and had a wonderful conversation with my sister and I about growing up and how similar it was. My bald fade came out perfect just the way I wanted it. I walked out of the shop feeling brand new. The Price is well worth the experience. Thank you guys for making me feel at home!

My first week in town read the reviews decided to give it a shot. My advise on parking is to talk to the valet behind the hotel tell them you have an appointment and they will take care of your car. Just as everyone else said. Classic barbershop. I am young guy looking for a business cut and found the right place. At the end of the cut Dave puts the warm shaving cream on your neck and straight blade shaves you (best thing ever). Big History Buff. I also got my shoes shined. Haircuts are 20 and shoe shine is 6. I will definitely go back.

Are you a man who needs a haircut? Head directly to the Downtown Barbershop, located in the basement of the (Sheraton) Gunter hotel. I arrived as a walk-​in and got immediate service from a very friendly young barber named Steven.
He asked me what I wanted and did a fantastic job of interpreting my vague desires into a sharp looking haircut. He was considerate, conversational (without being overly chatty), and very thorough with excellent attention to detail. My haircut took less than 20 minutes and I never felt rushed. I also enjoyed the old-​school atmosphere, especially the vintage barber chairs. And all this for less than 20 bucks!
Highly recommended, I’ll be back.

Was getting shaggy so went looking for a trim. First place, just the shop in the basement at the hotel was impressive. Talked to Dave who sat me in a well condition ol barber chair. Said was one of the new ones from 1947. Then he listened to my wants and did exactly what I asked. No clippers. Scissors like they used to. Cleaned up with straight razor and a little juice. The cut was great and atmosphere intriguing.

I got a great haircut and great shoe shine, which is worth the five-​star rating on its own. But I also really enjoyed the experience – a good, traditional, old-​school barber shop experience. Located in the basement of the historic Gunter Hotel, the Barber Shop Downtown is a small barber shop with four seats. It doesn’t feel like a generic franchise haircut place or a salon but a place where men get haircuts and personalied service for a reasonable price. My hair was cut by Lee, who’s been there for 38 years. I was pleased with the service, the cut, the shine, the price, and the banter.
