Best Haircut In Houston!!!!!!

by bvaughn21

Finally.....A barber shop in Houston that feels, acts, and looks like a barber shop.

Doug and crew are as salt of the earth as it gets. If you are looking for a place that will take there time and cut your hair right then look no further. This barber shop still uses the straight razor to trim necks.....this is an art that is fading fast. Price of a cut....$10.00....Leonard will tell you "anything else is just too much". Make sure you don't ask for the "regular" haircut because "premium" is just .25 cents more.

Best Value and Experience.......Period

• Pros: Excellent Cut, Tenured Barbers, Great Price, and Straigt Razors
• Cons: Very Busy.....

A cherished memory.

This place is something out of a Norman Rockwell painting. That is until you walk in the joint! I don't think anything in the place was made after 1952! Every nook and cranny is stuffed with with some americana relic.

The staff is eclectic as the decor! My favorite is the brooding giant in the second chair with pechant for punk rock and social justice issues! Out of the 15 times or so I've been there he's never uttered a word to me! he just yells at the television as he cuts my hair. aside from his anti-social personality he's top notch! and you'll be lucky if it takes him more than 10 minutes to finish the job.

• Pros: Great looking cuts
• Cons: Don't think he likes his job

Perhaps the best $10 you will ever spend

by invisiblecanook

Like many people I am not finicky about my hair, however I am by no means apathetic. A good haircut to me is crafted in such a way that it will continue to look good until such a time as I need another. And a great haircut means I will return to get one just like it. Doug's is the new home to this routine. This place has every bit of charm to legitimize it as a great barber shop. Plus, the second you sit down, you know you are in skilled hands. I can't remember the last time I had a haircut for $10, especially one that looked this great. The neighborhood is friendly and a welcome change from the garish salons that you might normally have to endure to get a simple haircut from a highly competent cutter.

• Pros: Price, location, staff, atmosphere, history
• Cons: None whatsoever
