The Argyle League — Attraction in Houston

I made an appointment online with Rafael for a beard trim and haircut. It noted on the website that all cuts were scissor cuts. Upon my early arrival, I was given a drink, which I appreciated. From the time I was introduced to Rafael, he seemed like cutting my hair was an inconvenience, though I was on time. I explained that if my hair was cut too short, that it would stick up, as I have a few cowlicks in the back. Low and behold, it was cut too short and was completely unable to lay down in the back. The beard cut was done with an electric razor and not scissor cut. When my neck was shaved, under my beard, Rafael just held my beard up onto my face, in my nose, etc. instead of clipping it up to keep it out of his way. And when I brushed and check the cut in the truck, it is uneven in spots. Upon checking out, I paid $85 for the haircut and went ahead and tipped because I feel bad for service workers during the pandemic, but it certainly wasn't deserved. I traditionally use Zayra with Wild Boars and the experience is comfortable, friendly and professional. The experience at Argyle was uncomfortable, Rafael didn't say more than three words to me the entire time and completely negated any direction I provided about my hair and the cut. I personally feel it was a waste of money and I will not be back. The haircut can be overlooked, as it is easy to go too short, but I would personally not recommend this barber...

I really wanted to like this place, but the haircut I walked out with has to be one of the worst haircuts I've ever gotten.

It was my first time here, and I was assigned to Dominic. I clearly told him when I sat down in the chair that I wanted to trim the top, and told him about a quarter of an inch off the top. At the end of my haircut I look at my hair and he had cut it so short that I couldn't even make my hair. On top of that, the left side of my hair is clearly longer than the right side and the top isn't even even! Super choppy. He did a good job with the fade and beard, but completely butchered the top of my head. What makes me upset is that I clearly told him a quarter of an inch trim and he goes on to take almost an inch off. The worst part about all this is that I have a wedding to attend this weekend and I'm going to have to go with a messed up haircut.

For $70, I expected a lot better than this. I think my asian lady could've done a better job for $8. Yeah the fade wouldn't have been as nice, but at least I'll be able to style my hair and not be walking around with choppy and uneven hair.

Maybe I just got unlucky with the barber? But I'm not willing to dish out another $70 to give them...

I’ve been a client at the Argyle League since January 2015 and have consistently had a fantastic experience. Initially, I was drawn to Argyle League for its clean, vintage barber aesthetic and the promise of a consistent, high-quality haircut. Not only have they delivered on that promise, but they’ve far exceeded my expectations over the years. Even when my regular barber (Carlos) is unavailable, I’ve been able to get an appointment with some of the other barbers and they deliver the same excellent haircut and beard trim with precision and care.

The experience starts from the moment I walk in the door—I'm always warmly greeted and offered a beer or bourbon to enjoy while I wait and during my appointment. After my appointment, the reception team makes checkout seamless and ensures I’m booked for my next visit before I leave.

Beyond the great haircuts, the barbers are friendly and engaging. They offer thoughtful recommendations on styling and products, which is especially helpful for guys who may not have given much thought to those details. It’s the perfect spot for anyone looking for top-notch grooming with a...
