Brass Tacks Barbershop

Trying to schedule a beard trim. I called the barbershop on Wednesday morning in an attempt to schedule a time to come in. There was nothing available but the receptionist said she’d take my name and # and call if somthing became available. Fast forward to Saturday at noon and I get a call saying they have availability @ 6pm. Being as I already had plans for the evening and the such short notice — it was not conducive to have the service performed.
Not wanting to give up on them and determined to get in to have my beard trimmed I got on their website to try & schedule again.
Today is January 16^th and the soonest available date to get in is February 4^th. While it’s terrific that the shop is doing so well that one must book a beard trim 3 weeks in advance — it simply will not accommodate my working schedule. I’m not trying to look like the cavemen from the Geico commercials.
Will have to find another place a bit more flexible. I was trying to find a regular shop and this seemed to be perfect whereas it’s right around the corner from my house. I really wanted to give these guys a go but availability to get in to see the barber is an issue.

A great bunch of guys that take their craft very seriously. A very fun environment with free beer, great music and a cool vibe.

Sad to see Ryan leave but the new guy, Tanner Echols, is very good at what he does. You can tell by his work that he cares. He is my go to guy from now on.

best salon spot in Dallas. Always busy but worth waiting for it.

Very easy, in and out. Best barber shop I have found around DFW for also a great price. Always have great music playing and very fast.

They have a VERY strict 8min late policy. I understand that it was my fault that I was 17min late to my appointment, and I was warned that if I did not make it within the 8min window I would have to reschedule, but there were two barbers lounging in their chairs as the receptionist turned me away.
Surely some kind of accommodation could have been made for a first time customer who notified the shop of their delay. I know that these rules are necessary to keep the schedule running smoothly, but their inflexibility has insured that I will never attempt to use their shop again.
It seems like a very nice place, but it was a terrible first impression.

Brass Tacks was great! Definitely didn’t mind the 2 hour wait on a Sunday.

Walked in Sunday at 6:10pm when they close at 7 for a simple haircut and was denied service because they’re wrapping up for the day… If you’re not going to do business at 6. Then close at 6, don’t post your hours till 7.

Never had a Barber/​haircut experience like I’ve gotten at Brass Tacks. I usually come on Sundays, which is they’re walkin day. So as you can imagine it’s quite busy but if you get there right when they open it goes by fast. If you have a long wait hop over to Oddfellows and eat brunch. I’ve been to nearly all the barbers and all have put their own spin on my normal cut, but I’ve loved each version. So far Ryan is my favorite.
They usually have music and a movie on and are stocked with local brews. Shop isn’t to big so you might have to wait outside. Typical cut cost $ 25 plus tip, which for the experience it is well worth it. You can make appointments online if you have a favorite barber, because walkin day is usually whichever chair opens first. This place is now my go to spot and will recommend it to anyone.

I waited for 30 minutes… Decided to grab breakfast to minimize my wait. The receptionist said it should be 1.5 hours until I’m up, give or take.
I returned 1.5 hours later, after having had brunch. My estimated wait time was another 1.5 hours at least, per the same receptionist.
Who waits at least 3 hours for a haircut? They may be incredible, but here’s an idea: take appointments so it’s not such a miserable process waiting for the cut.

I realize that this barbershop is geared primarily toward men and classic men’s haircuts, however as a woman with short hair sometimes you just need to find a barber to get the job done right.
Having moved back to Dallas from Denver nearly a year ago, I had yet to find someone that I trusted to cut my hair more than once. Like I said, finding someone to competently cut short hair on women is more difficult than you might think. This has all changed now that I have found Brass Tacks Barbershop. Specifically, Juke the barber.
I walked in unsure what to expect since I am not the traditional clientele for this barbershop, but found any awkwardness or nervousness to be on my end alone. Juke called me up to his chair, I showed him what I wanted, and he got the job done right. I mean REALLY right. He fixed what others had gotten wrong and I was SO HAPPY when I left his chair.
As long as I have short hair, I’ll be using a barber. Thanks, Juke!

Best barbers not only in Oak Cliff /​Bishop Arts but also best in Dallas hands down!
Always done me right, know what I want just as I walk in!
Great customer service, great parking, great music, oh and did I forget free local beers!!!
The real question is why are you reading my review and not making an appointment already?
Their schedule gets filled pretty fast so always call ahead or use there online scheduling!
Cheers!

Went to Juke, great cut and great vibe in the place. Cool guys and reasonable prices. Perfect mix of new and old school.
Glad they are in Oak Cliff.

This place is solid! This is the first place that I have gone for a cut where I actually love the way my hair looks when I leave. I usually go to Brandon, but I have seen equally excellent work from the other barbers.
When you walk in you basically feel like you’re walkin’ into your homeboy’s man cave. You have a TV, an assortment of magazines and a fridge full of beer and other drinks. Only two arm chairs, and a few stools, so if there’s a long wait you may be left standing for a bit. But this is barber shop, not a damn hair salon, so they turn you out pretty quick.
To be fair, I don’t normally see any of the customer base in here going for that messy, bed head douchey look. You won’t see any runway model style hairdos up in here. The guys at Brass Tacks specialize in making you look sharp. REALLY F’ing sharp! They serve up the classic barber shop cut with that old school feel.
They now have a website where you can book your appointment online, and it will even send you a reminder two days before, so you can’t F it up. Brass Tacks comes highly recommended and I would urge anyone who has lost faith in their quest to find their holy grail to give this place a chance.
At this point I would not trust my hair to any other shop.

After many months of searching for a good barbershop in Dallas, I think I’ve found the one.
I went there for a haircut and the person who cut my hair (Ryan) did a great job.
The place is a little bit hard to find (I missed it my first time around) but finally found it behind the parking lot.

So, there’s a reason this place gets nothing but 5 star reviews, and it’s not because it’s a froo froo salon.
Brass Tacks, run by Brandon and Co, is THE place to get a legit man clip in Dallas. The shop is clean, retro, and full of life. These guys love what they do and it shows in every inch of this establishment.
As for the cut, I NEVER thought I could go this short. But, I trusted Brandon’s mad skillz (with a z) and the result is equal parts class and awesome. I’ve definitely found my new place. New customer for life here.
People say the old school barber shop has died, but those people clearly haven’t been here. Easiest 5 star review I’ve ever written.
Plus, there’s free local beer and coffee. GET SOME.

I didn’t get a haircut, but my boyfriend is and so far it looks great. We got offered beer and the barber shop is super trendy. I enjoyed looking at the people getting haircuts.

I waited to write this review after getting my hair cut a couple of times here. I’m very particular about my haircut and wanted to ensure a valuable review. I can attest that the staff here is very detail oriented and friendly. The atmosphere is that of man’s barbershop. There are no frills or effeminate decorations. I’ve never heard the word «product» used here haha. I love the look of it and it makes me feel at home and comfortable. They also have great movies playing and a nice view of Bishop with lots of great natural light.
Ask for Ryan.
The haircut will be spot on and will not be done by someone who may not cut a lot of men’s hair (typical of the Dallas salons). They are very much pros and I consider myself lucky to have them around. The prices are not as cheap as say… Sport Clips, but not as unreasonable as a salon. I’d say the value is there. You’ll find that they are by appointment only and usually pretty booked. Expect a 2−4hr wait for a walk in.
Overall 5 stars. My new place for sure. See you there.

Another 5 star review for this Barbershop!
So, I’ve had the same barber for about 15 years. What happens when he retires? I’m lost… I go Sport Clips, Great Clips, Knockouts, etc, etc. And while I do enjoy a good pair of boobs, I really like to get my hair cut by someone who knows what they’re doing!
Well, I’ve had my hair cut here twice now. The first time, I told him exactly what I wanted. The second, I just told him generally how I liked it, and he gave me amazing. So now? I’ve got a haircut that’s in style, and a new regular barber.
Brandon, the owner, has hired some really incredible guys. He is also a great The environment is very guy friendly… action movies on the TV, great music selection, and GOOD beer. (you know, cause other places offer free beer now, but not good beer)
Check it out.

Brandon does a good cut. My girlfriend and his girlfriend work together, so I heard about him through word of mouth. I’m always a little nervous about going to «friends of friends,» but this definitely worked out.
I was doing a summer associate job with a «BigLaw» firm in Dallas, and I needed a professional cut, and quick. A lot of younger barbers can’t pull off a nice «professional» look, but Brandon killed it. I had other lawyers asking where I got my hair cut for the next week!
Ambiance is great, very comfortable place to spend your time. Right next door to some food spots, so it’s a great place to get a saturday haircut.
