Today I got my hair cut at SuperCuts by a real cool woman. She's originally from Freeport but has lived in Austin for like the past 20 years. She kept calling Houston a hellhole. She said traffic in Houston is worse than Austin, Houston is a ghetto, Houston smells etc... When I told her that Houston has better highways she wouldn't believe me So I told her I'd rather live in that "polluted toxic dump" than Austin anyday.
Bellaire Original Barber Shop, in the Triangle center at Chimney Rock and Bellaire, is the best barber shop in the city of Houston. The mullet is the worst haircut ever invented. Even a mohawk looks better than a mullet.
HAHAHAHA. That must have sucked, and been funny at the same time. I always wondered how people getting heckled at places like that feel. Because if it was the guy right next to you, you know you'd be laughing. But when its you...did you pull the fact laugh?
My hair is easy to cut, so it's rarely messed up. I goto the Procuts on the Drag. I went to this place on Riverside once, I think it was called Dora's. Anyways, she didn't have one of those things that blows hair off your neck; she literally blew the hair off of my neck with her mouth. Yuck. Kind of funny in hindsight. Haircut sucked also.
No, but an old Hispanic man named Ben used to own several different Barber shops in the area, and I used to get my hair cut by him when he had one on Beechnut. My dad follows him around to whatever shop he's at, and the last time I spoke with him about it, he told me that Ben had set up shop in Bellaire. Best damn haircut I ever had. Steamed towels, straight razor....the whole nine yards.
RM95, I can relate - Back in the early 90s, I asked my wife to cut my hair. My hair is an eazy cut and I thought if she whacks it I'll just go get it fixed somewhere. She begged me not to make her cut it and I talked her into it - I told her and honestly thought I would not get mad if she messed it up since she was a loan officer not a hairstylist. Well - she did real well until she got to the side burns. For some unknown reason, she cut 1 side real nice but the other side was about 1/2 inch above my ear. I still have to apologize to her when I tell the story - I can laugh now but I did get mad then. Worse part was I had to cut the good side burn to match the bad one. She's never cut my hair since...
MAN! i am having **** for luck this year. first a bad hair cut NOW look what happened: i wanted to make me hair "natural deep brown" because i think thats what my real hair color is. anyway i had the stuff in and by the time it got rinsed guess what color it was, guess damn you! BLACK oh man oh man... its no good.
Has anyone in Austin had their haircut at Sexy Scissors? I haven't been there, but supposedly you get your haircut by a good looking woman while having a nice cold beer!
I know that guy. He owns Ben's Barber Shop at W. Alabama & Dunlavy. He cut my hair for a year or so, but had heart problems & had to scale down his work schedule big time (he b****ed that the docs wouldn't even let him play golf). I didn't see him in there for a month or so & found a new place....
I get the Sexy Scissors treatment at home...but my hairstyle is easy: buzz to half an inch, make the sides and back 1/4 inch, and then blend 3/4 of the way up. It's hard to pay money for that.
As much as I dislike getting my haircut in Austin, I have settled with the Supercuts on Riverside, next to Albertsons. Always use the $8.95 coupons on the back of your HEB receipts or in the Daily Texan. Sometimes you have to help talk them through your haircut, but usually it's decent. Not Houston Vietnamese quality, but decent. DO NOT EVER go to Fast Freddy's. You will need an AIDS test once you leave the place, it is so unsanitary. As far as Houston goes, I always go to the same place, Hair By Tony II, on Bellaire (close to HWY6, across from Fiesta, and next to the pool hall.) This place is Vietnamese owned and operated, and man do they know how to cut hair. I've been going to a guy named Eric there for the last year or so- perfect haircut. Oh, and did I mention that it's only five dollars. That's right, $5.
