South Austin Barber Shop (Slaughter Lane): Reviews
Fantastic experience: Been seeing "Jutt" (Justin) for a few weeks now and I've never been happier with how my fade looks. Hes got years of experience under his belt, hes personable and professional. Jutt also cuts my my 2 younger brothers if that tells you anything. Check him out!
Fantastic experience: We are from Dallas and was recommended this place. The person who recommended this place stated its the best - their sons and husband has been going here for years. The "best" barber shop is an understatement. Jeff is the best but does not compare to Dom! Dom is the bomb dot com! He was so patient with my son! Honestly everyone one here is amazing! Shout-out to Felix, Arron, Amyer and Harry as well! Def when go here when we're in town!
Fantastic experience: My son and i are really are impressed with Aaron and Christian. Thank you guys.

Fantastic experience: Jutt and Harry have given me excellent cuts here. Great attention to detail and great conversation. Best in the city!
Fantastic experience: Took ages to find the right barber shop, this is it. I moved out of town and I still drive in for a cut. Robert is the best!
Fantastic experience: Brought my son here and Reiko did an outstanding job. He took his time and made my almost 14 year old boy feel comfortable and I very much appreciated it. Looks amazing!
Fantastic experience: Harry always makes me feel like a new man when I leave this place. Great haircut and beard trims.
Fantastic experience: Justin did my fiances haircut for our wedding and he did amazing!! Jeffrey was there as well and made sure the bathroom was clean before we used it which was great!! We will be coming here again!

Fantastic experience: Jutt is the goat hands down! Very professional and efficient. Great conversation in a family friendly environment. He is great with all hair types.
Fantastic experience: Saw Jutt for a skin fade. Great cut, great conversation. Always nice to support a local native!
Fantastic experience: I’m not from Austin but Felix was recommended to me by a close personal friend, and he did an amazing job on my haircut and beard trim!
Negative experience: Dom was my barber, i dont know if he had a bad day but he kept hurting my head as he was cutting my hair. It was until he almost cut my ear that his attitude changed. Definitely dont recommend him at all
Fantastic experience: Jutt Smith fixed me up right, been getting cut by him for years and he still has yet to be anything below flawless
Fantastic experience: Dom was very professional and me and my son both left with clean cuts! Definitely recommend!!
Fantastic experience: Dom Rulli is the man! Been going to see him for over a year now and he always helps me stay high and tight. Solid bald fades and beard trims every time. Always recommend Dom
Fantastic experience: Jutt is impeccable. His skill, attention to detail, and depth of knowledge is clear when you look in the mirror after your cut. This is his craft.
Fantastic experience: Jutt thank you for doing such a nice cut on my husband again.He loves going to the shop and taking about conspiracy theories with you guys. He enjoys the enviorment. He has tried other barbers but i like when this Jutt guy does his hair. My opinion is the only one that matters
Fantastic experience: Thank you Jutt for the amazing cut you did on my son.He doesn’t like leaving reviews so I’m taking the time to do so. Jutt is the best barber that he’s had period. He is very neat with his haircuts and super smooth fade with no line whatsoever! I hate when he has lines. Jutt is professional and the shop as a whole has a great atmosphere for all hair types. Thank you on behalf of Jaylen
Fantastic experience: Justin is hands down one of the best if not the best barbers I’ve ever been to. Definitely coming back.
Fantastic experience: Can’t go wrong with this barber shop, all the barbers are top tier and the prices are fair compared to local barber shops in the area. Jutt S. is the gentlemen I go too and he knocks it out of the park constantly. I will be going back every month.
Fantastic experience: My family has followed Mason to his new spot at South Austin Barber Shop. My boys enjoy getting their haircuts done by him and while I may not have any hair anymore he does a great job keeping my beard crispy! Mason is a great barber that makes sure the cut looks great and you feel great. Always recommend him to people looking for a barber.
Fantastic experience: Mason is the real deal he’s meticulous, experienced, and a master at both fades and blending longer hair. Hard to find a barber who does both this well!
Fantastic experience: Jutt took me in as a walk in my first time. He hooked me with a clean even fade. He took his time and made me feel welcomed. Jutt is super down to earth and easy to talk to we talked about various of things regarding either personal stuff happening or conspiracies theories. He’ll even do his best to fit you in if he has any available slots. You can really tell he takes pride in what he does! Overall barbershop: it’s a vibe all the barbers are doing their thing in a clean environment. Everyone is super friendly. The prices are reasonable for a haircut doesn’t feel rush. 10/10 would recommend
Negative experience: I had a really disappointing experience at this barbershop. The barber was too rough and it actually hurt my scalp while they were cutting my hair. There was a lot of unprofessional behavior like swearing, complaining, and talking badly about other people and staff right in front of the customers. The shop was messy, smelled weird and even the barbers agreed. It didn’t feel organized at all. Most importantly, they completely messed up my haircut. I ended up with no hair on the sides, even though that is not what I asked for. I usually try to be understanding, but this visit made me feel angry and frustrated. I would not recommend this place to others.
I’m really sorry to hear about the experience you described here. I’d really appreciate it if you would reach out to me so I could better understand and possibly fix some things you mentioned. This is a pretty brutal review, but we have a stellar reputation as you can see by the number and quality of the reviews we do have. It would really mean a lot to me and the staff if you would contact me. My name is Tom and I’m the owner..

Fantastic experience: I booked with Justin N. again and he was great. He is very attention to detail and always makes sure youre content with the service. He provides a very authentic and personable experience.
Fantastic experience: Been going to Steve Sr for some years now! Always a pleasant experience in the shop, he’s always very professional. When I’m in the mood to talk we chat, when I go early in the day he’s fine with minimal conversation. But he ALWAYS does his best work and I leave feeling 10x better!
Fantastic experience: After bouncing around and trying all the other places for guys, I've finally found one where every person there knows how to cut men's hair. I've gotten so many bad hair cuts at SC's I gave up. South Austin Barber Shop's scheduling is simple. The guys are friendly and know what they're doing. Mason is a rockstar. Book with anyone though; you won't be disappointed.
Fantastic experience: Justin N. is hands down the best barber I’ve had. Always consistent, detail-oriented, and makes sure you leave with a clean cut every time. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to South Austin Barber Shop for 2.5 years now and I’ve had a great experience for all my visits here. If it’s your first time going book with Felix!! He has been cutting my hair for 2 years now and he’s always getting me right every single time. He speaks Spanish and English and is very good at giving you the haircut you want just by describing it alone. He is the best barber to cut my hair hands down.
Fantastic experience: If you're looking for a barber who can cut hair like Michael Angelo sculpted marble look no further than Justin N. I've been going to this legend for 3 years now and not once have I walked out looking like I lost a bet. Every visit is like a therapy session, except instead of lying on a couch, I'm in a chair getting faded into greatness. Justin's got hands so steady I'm convinced he could perform surgery with a straight razor if a medical board would just give him a shot. Justin remembers my cut better than I remember my own passwords. I sit down, he nods, and 30 minutes later I'm walking out looking like I have my life together, even if I don't. The shop vibe? Immaculate! Music's always on point the banter is top tier, and the hot towel at the end makes me question why I ever trusted anyone else with my head. In short: if you want a haircut that will make your reflection high five you, Justin is your guy!
Fantastic experience: Always my go-to Barber in South Austin and have always been happy! Came in last weekend needing something nicer for a wedding and Justin N gave me a fantastic cut and the best beard trim I’ve ever had, I’ll be outshining the bride!
Fantastic experience: Isaiah and Justin are the only ones I’ll let cut my hair. Each time it’s absolutely fire! Vibes in the shop are always dope. Great shop!
Fantastic experience: Been seeing Robert for over 10 years. He’s as legit as they come and absolutely love the way he cuts. Honest. Punctual and unbelievably reliable! Book Rob!
Fantastic experience: Was in Austin on family business and needed a haircut. Based on the reviews, I booked with Justin online and it was fast and easy. You would have thought Justin had known me for years based on how perfect he cut my hair. My wife even noticed how perfect my hair looked. Shop is awesome. Haircut was amazing. 10/10 highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Been getting my hair cut with Justin N. For over a year or so, and I can say that he always does an excellent job, would recommend if you have curly hair as well
Fantastic experience: Jutt is an amazing barber he pays attention to detail. Hes always professional at the appointment. We never leave disappointed and his work is unmatchable. My boys love coming in to see him.
Fantastic experience: Always outstanding service and results at SABS. Robert has been my go to for years, but every barber in the place is professional, courteous, and has fun at their job. Booking appointments online is easy and I’m always in and out in under 45m. Highly recommend this spot.
Fantastic experience: Very professional and clean. Jutt has cut my hair twice now and he's done a great job. I definetly recommend him.
Fantastic experience: This place has been my go-to spot for almost a year now. Justin N consistently provides great service and an even better haircut.
Fantastic experience: My boy Jeffery gets me right every time! All the guys in the shop are cool too, nothing but good vibes and clean cuts
Fantastic experience: Best Barber in Austin Texas goes to Justin Smith. Always relatable and communicates well with me and my son. He always makes my son feel like one of the guys and that goes a long way in my book. If there was a Rockstar status as a barber, Justin Smith would be it.
Fantastic experience: Justin Nicks has been my barber for about a year. If you’re new to the area and looking for a trusted professional, you should definitely book with him. I’ve been to various and multiple barbershops in north and south Austin - Justin is by far the best in the city. He is extremely reliable, always flexible, provides recommendations while incorporating your input, and his attention-to-detail is exceptional.
Fantastic experience: My son has been getting his hair done by Jutt S for almost a year now. We went through so many places that never quite got it right. We booked his first appointment with Jutt, and for the first time ever, he left with a big smile on his face and so much confidence. My son is only 13 and Jutt really gets him. Jutt is patient and kind, and does such great work. Couldn't recommend anyone more.
Fantastic experience: Been coming to the Slaughter location of South Austin Barbers for roughly a year now, using the same barber for a High & Tight, sometimes with a foil skin fade. Justin N. does a great job. I also appreciate that he's very reliable and that there have never been appointment scheduling shenanigans. He also has occasional Sunday availability, which many other businesses and barbers don't bother with.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been getting my hair cut by Justin Nicks for just over a year now, and I can confidently say his skill and attention to detail are second to none. But what truly sets Justin apart is the authenticity he brings to every appointment. The genuine conversations and his exceptional customer service are what keep me coming back. While we have a professional relationship, I’ve come to consider Justin more than just my barber—he’s a friend. I might be making it harder for myself to get an appointment by recommending him—his schedule fills up fast—but if sharing my experience helps others find the same great service, it’s absolutely worth it.
Fantastic experience: I've gotten my hair cut by Justin several times here, he does an excellent job at getting a cut that works for my style and makes great suggestions. He has a repeat customer for sure!
Fantastic experience: Deavry is kind and courteous. Showing great skill and detail in his cuts. Always taking the time to be professional and clean. Great guy that does a great job.
Fantastic experience: Devry is the man, been going to him for several years now! I’ve followed him from the old location he was at it’s a further drive for me now but worth it 100%. Go see Devry!!! If you don’t have a barber yet, go to him for sure, if you do have one, Devry is better.
Fantastic experience: I’ve gone in & have gotten my haircuts from Devry Weaver. He’s always in a positive mood & makes me feel welcomed. He knows what I expect in a cut & never seems to disappoint. Keep up the good work Dev.
Fantastic experience: I sent my boyfriend to a new barber shop since we moved out here in Austin from Houston , Devry had him leave with the dopest cut than what he gets in Houston , I highly recommend devry we will be back next week for his routine haircuts !!
Fantastic experience: Dom is the Man. I told him I didnt think I could get better lookin.. than I saw the fade he gave me. Great work brother
Fantastic experience: Best barbershop in Austin, I just moved here and this was the first place I tried and I was very pleased with the results. Shoutout my guy Devry!
Fantastic experience: I come to this barbershop to see Devry, his attention to detail and fades are impressive to say the least. 10/10 recommend
Fantastic experience: I've been getting my haircuts done at this barbershop for a few years now, and no one gets it done like Dom Rulli.

Fantastic experience: I've been coming to this shop since it opened, and have been a customer of Robert Dorantes for over a decade. Hands down the best barber I've ever gone to, and this is one of the best shops you'll find!
Fantastic experience: Rob has been the absolute best barber I’ve ever had. I’ve been going to him for the entire time I’ve lived in Texas. I see him on a weekly basis, that’s how good he is!
Fantastic experience: My man Justin Nicks did a fantastic job shaping up my beard right before I stepped on stage for a big competition. I’m not one to usually enjoy the chatting/small talk at the barber, but I actually thoroughly enjoyed talking with Justin while he trimmed me up. Casual, friendly, kind, and highly qualified/skilled at what he does. Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Robert Dorantes is probably the best and most professional barber that has ever cut my hair. And that’s saying something considering I’m in my mid 70s. I would not consider going anywhere else for a haircut. Even if I’m getting a little shaggy, I’ll wait till I have a chance to make an appointment with him and get my haircut. He has cut my hair for over 20 Years. Jose Montemayor Austin TX

Fantastic experience: Dom Rulli is the man. Let’s put it this way: I went to a party the night after he cut my hair for the first time and a girl I’ve been friends with for ten years made a move. You ever been faded up so good it complicated a friendship? Dom can make it happen.
