The Good Barber

This place has done a 180 since my last trip here. The tv had live soccer championship on, chill rock music alternative etc. nothing hardcore. There were younger barbers here this time and they knew how to cut hair. Joey cut my hair and this guys top notch. Ask for him if you want someone who def knows what he’s doing. The other cuts from other barbers looked good too. Busier this time as well. Hopefully this is the new norm. I’ll def come back after this experience. Thanks Joey

You can have a free beer and watch sports while you wait. Get a good quality hair cut and it’s only 20 bucks. Great place, friendly staff, great atmosphere. Highly recommend Ashley.

I need to find a new barbershop after today. For several years, I have been using TGB on Hardy Oak Parkway as the place to get my hair cut, and they offered me a military discount. Today, the owner said that this discount was only for active duty.
I told her that Valero, Taco Cabana and LaPeep give me a discount without the qualification of active duty. I asked her how she thought was different as someone like me and others have protected her freedom of speech and other rights.
She said she would think about it. Then, she asked me to shake her hand after I raised my voice about her possible change of policy.
And to that, I responded «Why should I shake your hand?»

Joey is awesome! This place had a great atmosphere and they really treat their clients well. They are friendly and great at cutting hair. I especially love the straight razor trim. This is my new regular barber shop and I’m so glad I found them!

My first time with a straight razor shave and great all around experience! A step above and beyond; definitely worth it!

We just moved to the Stone Oak area, and my husband needed a trim. He is trying to grow his hair out, and has worked for several months at getting his hair long. The current style for men is long hair on top parted to the side and combed back, and blended on the sides. I am not sure what the actual hairstyle is called. He went in to The Good Barber, and clearly explained what he wanted. What he got was a buzz cut all over, with long hair left only in the very front. He said the girl cutting his hair didn’t seem to have confidence in what she was doing. He is now left with the only option of cutting off all his hair, and just starting over. There is no recovering from this hair cut. Needless to say, he is a grown man that was practically in tears over such a bad haircut. His hair grows so slow, that months of growth was gone in 5 minutes. And so it will be another several months to just get back to the point he was at when he came in. I think next time we will just youtube how to cut hair, because the job I do can’t be any worse than what he paid for.

TGB is a friendly place where men get their haircuts and have a drink (for free if they’d like). I’ve always come with my husband to get his haircut and no matter who cuts his hair they are always friendly. Yes, it’s a bit pricy but well worth for the service they receive.

Service is generally good. They offer water or beer pretty promptly. I cannot attest to any barber besides Regina (who is awesome by the Way). But I will say that many of the other barber/​stylists seem to have repeat regulars. I believe pricing starts at about 25 $. For some reason the owner thought it was a good idea to charge an extra 5 $ for a fade, definitely was not happy about that. But nonetheless I always end up with a great haircut.

This Place deserves a 5 star review! They really took there time and payed attention to every detail they made sure they we doing it right! They will even get you a beer.

My husband liked this place because they have great service. Its true, they’ll offer you a beer or some water as you sit down in the chair and the ladies are all very very nice. The salon is clean, and you get to watch the game while you get your hair cut.
I’m only giving this place 2 stars because they could not deliver in the most important area: the haircut. My husband had been growing his hair out and only wanted a trim. We came in and showed the stylist a picture of what he wanted, and very clearly stated «he’s trying to grow it out, so just a little off the back.» I left to go run an errand and came back to my husband with a lot of hair gone. She gave him a very short cut. He didn’t know because she kept his back to the mirror so he could watch the game… for the entire cut. For his sake, I told him he looked great and that it’s okay because it will all grow out again and at that point, complaining about the cut wouldn’t change that she took off ALOT OF HAIR. But even as we were leaving the salon, he noticed a couple parts she had not cut and we had to ask her to check them and cut them correctly. It just seems like she didn’t care for what we had wanted and then didn’t even finish the cut she had started.
I’m sure this is an isolated incident of stylist neglect, but it makes me not want to return here or send any of my friends. You can have a really nice salon with cool service, but if you give crappy haircut, it doesn’t matter how many free beers you get, it’s still a crappy haircut.

I just received probably the best haircut I have ever received, and that is not an exaggeration. Amanda did a phenomenal job and her attention to detail is impeccable! The kind of service you receive for the price you pay was very surprising, for $ 20.00 you receive a great haircut, neck shave, and rinse, not to mention a beer, I mean are you freaking kidding me! A beer? That was the icing on this well groomed cake. Men do your follicles a favor and head down to The Good Barber the next time your due for a cut.

It’s taken me a while to find a good Barber here in San Antonio, especially one that can use a straight edge. And these guys are the real deal, went to matador once and anything over $ 30 for a men’s haircut is ridiculous. But these guys are friendly, have sports on the tv’s, and give you a beer while you wait or during your cut. I read a review of a complaint that they took too long, and if they knew anything about the ambiance of a barbershop, or the profession of being a Barber they’d know they take pride in their work and don’t rush it. If you want a quick half-a**ed cut go elsewhere. If you want a quality cut while you get your haircut by someone who, once they get to know you, will care about what you’re up to and care about their work then come here.

They’ve turned over some staff and done away with appointments all together. They’ve gone back to focusing on just doing high quality work. It can get pretty busy in here at times and it can make the wait times long. If you go during the day, you can usually get in and out with no troubles.

I called and scheduled an appointment because I wanted to get a cut and a shave. My barber was Star. She’s definitely a cool barber and knows what she’s doing. She also did an excellent job in both my cut and shave.
Just a few recommendations… if you’re not a regular client of a barber; don’t expect them to know what you want. Explain what you want to the barber as well as possible to ensure you’ll leave happy.

Above average. $ 20 for a basic. Good vibes and solid service.

I have never seen anyone move so slow, one guys been in the chair for over an hour! We just waited an hour and there are three people working but only three haircuts given in that time. This is supposed to be a barber shop, move faster! I don’t see how they can make a profit charging $ 20 and moving this slow! One of ladies working offered everyone else in the place something to drink but us, I guess we don’t appear rich enough! The only reason we stayed is cause my nephew needed a haircut and we didn’t know of any other barbers near by. We will never come here again. Steer clear from this place, especially if you’re in a hurry!

Love this place, when they are open… having to go to a butcher today instead of a barber as they are closed… and I have a flight to catch tomorrow :(

You know I really never thought I would pay $ 40 for a hair cut, but I’ve been to this place 3 times already and plan to keep coming back.
It’s just the experience. I could drive 45 minutes to maybe get a better hair cut but the experience is just not the same.
I’m a fan of The Good Barber.

Great staff and well worth the wait!
