Floyd's 99 Barbershop
Reviews
If you can find one of the good barbers (and there are a few) this place can be an absolute bargin. Ramsay is one of the best I've found overall in Austin. The best go out on their own a lot though, but that's normal. Can be a headache making an appointment.
My husband has had his hair cut here about 3-4 times now and they've done a good job. The salon has a hip "austiny" feel, they play music in the background, and free wifi. Convenient location near other shops. The appointment booking process is frustrating since a lot of times they won't give you an appointment over the phone even if you're telling them "I'm coming now and I'll be there in 10 minutes!!". Instead you have to be there in person to get your name on the list and then wait 30 minutes for your turn. That didn't make much sense to me.
I'm never one to write a terrible review but this shop is absolutely terrible with wait times. You get bumped and moved around with no word letting you know! I've gone twice to get a haircut here and both times I've waited almost an hour. I've actually never had a haircut here because of the wait times. I mean is it that difficult to manager your business better? Just so you know they take call-ins and regulars over walk-ins so you will most likely get bumped. The customer service is atrocious! This is a shame cause the barbers seem to be really skilled.
What a great place. My 8 year old loves the pampering of the towel and massage and the cool factor here. Every time I have gone - great cut, friendly people who work there. Everyone is down to earth, but VERY good at what they are doing. They do offer straight razor shaves for the guys - I need to try it! You leave looking and feeling great.
Floyd's 99 is the place to get an affordable haircut with some added perks. They're typically busy, so if you're in a hurry you can call ahead to get your name on the list. But typically if there is a wait, it goes much faster then they say. For about $25 (with tip) I can get a haircut, back of my neck shaved, warm towel, and shoulder massage. Not to mention, the place is pretty rad too. The stylists are all very friendly along with the other staff.
