I was looking for quite some time for a good barber shop for my son and A and B has been great. He is 9yrs old with Autism and tight 4A curls so his cut really can be a job. We’ve had bad experiences in the past with places being rough and not asking or listening to what we want. Barber shops can also be a stressful and unpleasant place for a woman to go to alone with a small child as sometimes the vibes are uncomfortable. These things couldn’t be farther from the truth at A and B. Both my son and myself have been treated with absolute kindness and respect and it’s a very comfortable and safe feeling place for a female. He has gotten perfect cuts every time and I can be a little picky. They are very attentive to details and also respectful of what my child wants too. They always call me to look it over before they finish up which I appreciate. My son has dreaded going to the barber in the past and he doesn’t mind going here at all! I will say I think the price for a kids cut is a little high, but things are getting expensive everywhere and my son does have a massive head of hair so this really is a minor complaint. Their cuts are worth the price if you can swing it for a kiddo. I recommend this place to everyone, and while they certainly don’t seem to specialize in kids or kids with special needs, they are so skilled and also so kind that this is absolutely a place to consider for your children that may struggle at the barber!

Hands down the best barber shop. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with genuine smiles and a laid-back vibe that immediately put me at ease. The shop is clean, stylish, and has that perfect balance of modern flair with classic barbershop charm.
The real star, though, is the talent. My barber was a total pro — meticulous, skilled, and clearly passionate about the craft. I came in with a rough idea of what I wanted, and they not only nailed it but took it to a whole new level. The attention to detail was unreal — crisp lines, perfect fade, and even some solid grooming advice for maintaining the cut between visits.
Bonus points for the chill music, and great conversation. You can tell this place takes pride in every cut that walks out the door.
If you’re looking for a top-tier cut, a great atmosphere, and barbers who actually care — look no further. This place is a gem. I’ll definitely be back!

Rafael Fades! Rafa is the only guy in the world I trust with my mohawk. My cut never feels like a rush job - he always takes his time and sends me off feeling like a beast. He's a master of his craft and the lines on the sides of my hawk are flawless. 10/10 I bet everyone here does quality work - its that kinda place.

Great barber, been in Austin for a year and a bit. Have tried quite a few of the local barbershops even the pricey ones but couldn't find a great barber. Ab is great, best barber in Austin. Takes his time to make you look your best. Thanks again man, hope this helps see you soon.

Can't recommend this place enough. It is clean, modern, but with just the right touch of personalization (for example, a lovingly decorated Christmas tree during the season). Modern barbershops that are super sleek and minimalist look nice but feel kind of sterile; this one has a good vibe. Not to mention the prices and quality of cuts are EXCELLENT. I've seen all ages in here. The owner, AB, is a great guy, personable and professional, and very quick with his cuts. Unless it's an emergency and they're booked, I won't be going anywhere else! (They also offer after hours appointments and online scheduling 👌🏻)
