ORTAHAUS Barber Co. — Local services in Houston

I was disappointed with my haircut. I tried Ortahaus because of the good reviews, and I don’t think my bad experience was what someone would expect from a place with such good reviews, so I feel like I should share my experience.

I would recommend going somewhere else if you do not want a fade. My hairstyle coming in did not at all resemble a fade. If that wasn’t enough, I explicitly told the barber upfront that I did not want a fade. Nothing against fades, they just don’t look good on me. I also said I wanted my hair about “a month” of hair growth shorter and that I just wanted a trim. The first thing the barber did was take electric clippers to the back of my head. Based on the instructions I gave, I was a little surprised he started with that, but since I felt my instructions were so clear and since I couldn’t see the back of my head, I let the barber continue cutting. When the barber stepped away for a moment, I reached behind my head to feel my hair and could tell it was way too short. It felt similar to a buzzcut. I told the barber that was shorter than I wanted, and in the middle of the haircut he asked if clippers or scissors are usually used when people cut my hair, to which I replied scissors.

Other than the haircut, the barbers are nice and friendly, and the owner went out of his way to remedy the situation. They were able to fit me in the same day I called. They are clearly passionate about their business and provide a great atmosphere.

My feedback would be to start off more conservatively, especially with a new client. If the barber didn’t have much experience cutting my hairstyle or wasn’t confident in the cut being to my satisfaction, I would rather have been told that upfront and matched with another barber, even if that means rescheduling. Better that than to be disappointed with...

A couple of weeks ago, my son had a terrible accident and who is currently recovering. As a result of being in the hospital for almost two months now, my son’s hair had grown out of control and I have been unable to get him into a barbershop for a proper haircut. I called various barbershops and explained my story several times and for the life of me, I could not get a barber to come out and cut my son’s hair. Then finally, I tried one more time and decided to call Ortahaus barbershop and spoke to a gentleman by the name of Ethan. Ethan understood where I was coming from and was very sincere to our situation. He quickly sent out a message to all of his fellow barbers, and within a few hours I had a gentleman by the name of Austin reach out to my wife and I. We explained the whole situation and he agreed to come out to cut our son’s hair at the hospital. My wife and I, and the whole family, from the bottom of our hearts, are so thankful for Austin and Ethan and the rest of the team for making this happen. My son looks great abd Austin was a true professional of his craft. Y’all don’t realize, after everything we’ve been through, this haircut was not only transformative for us, but it allowed for our son to meet his newborn baby boy for the first time looking sharp with a beautiful fade. I can’t thank Austin and the rest of the Ortahaus team enough. This barbershop is great and I will definitely be a forever customer. For every barber out there, a barber is not just a person who cuts hair, a barber is an artist who specializes in the literal uplifting of someone’s confidence in real time while sitting on a barber chair. ...
