Mike's Barber Shop — Local services in Houston

Just came from there. It was my first time. Here's my experience: pulled up & parked, walked inside and was seated immediately, explained my haircut choice, got it (warning, they use compressed air instead of a brush to blow off clippings, in case you're not used to that), paid $6 + $2 tip (cash only), walked out and drove back to the office. I was in and out in ten minutes. And the ladies working there were very nice, very friendly and seemed to enjoy an easy-going, jovial rapport with each other and regulars. It kinda felt like walking into your watering hole where everybody knows your name. No joke. I'm pretty happy with my haircut, the experience and the huge savings from going to that chain that uses the black towels steamed with tea tree oil. For what I pay for one haircut trip there I can get 3 at Mike's Place. Conclusion: I'm going back.

UPDATE: Just returned for another haircut. I got to sit in a chair for all of 30 seconds before a stylist was ready for me. She was friendly, quick and professional and did a great job. Enjoyed the rapport among employees and with customers. Very satisfied again. Looks like this will be my go-to place from now on. The only thing that could make this better would be a cold beer...

This is my 2nd time coming here and the haircut i received was mediocre at best. The lady at the very end by where the compressor is didnt either understand what high fade meant or to blend nor line up a beard. I should of really explained what i was looking for but a barber should know what their doing. My fade is not good, and one side is a little higher than the other. My hair was wet so it was hard to tell if it was done right but it sure did hide her mistakes really well. when i dried it is when i notice the errors. My instinct was to go with Martha at first who did a decent job the first time i came but i figured any of the stylists could deliver the same consistency from before but i was wrong.. lol, all good. Just dont go the lady at the end...

Well to be honest pulling up to mikes barber shop at first kind of almost push me away due to the fact of the buildings structure. But I can’t complain cuz it’s not what it looks like on the outside it’s what’s in the inside and when I stepped in I was given a warm welcome by the lovely ladies that do the cutting. It’s a Hispanic place so Spanish is the main language spoken there but I’m sure the ladies understand English lol. I didn’t have to wait and gave me a damn good cut in such a short period of time. I also wanted to express that while getting my haircut I enjoyed seeing a gentleman walk in clearly a English man and told the lady cutting his hair how he wanted it in Spanish. Which he did a great job. All together it was a...
