Cost Cutters

It has taken me 3 weeks to get to the point of being able to write a civil review.
First, let me say, my whole family has gotten great cuts here in the past. And the day I got mine cut, my partner got a great cut from a different stylist. Mine, however, was a disaster! I wish I could find the pic I took! I brought in a picture and the stylist did nothing– and I mean NOTHING!!- like it at all. I mentioned it, she looked completely confused as to what to do, hacked on it some more, and then stopped. She knew it was hideous. She wouldn’t even make eye contact! She was the only stylist I’d seen in there before, and I’d seen some questionable results on others on prior visits. I’ve never held this opinion about other bad haircuts, but this stylist should NOT be cutting hair– at all. Someone take her scissors!
I went to a different salon to fix it– the guy was flabbergasted. He did not want to touch my hair! He evened it up as best he could w/​out leaving me bald…
Looking fwd to it growing out a bit & getting a real hair cut with a real stylist!

Price-​wise, this place has the best deals. I purchased 3 cuts for $ 30 and still have 2 more to go. This is the only reason I’m giving a 2-​star.
When it came to cutting my hair… not so good. I gave clear instructions on how to do the haircut and not a single word was understood by the barber. She cut my hair in a way I’ve never seen before. Who cuts hair with a pair of scissors in one hand without holding the hair in the other hand??? My hair is completely uneven and she left hair in the back when I clearly told her to cut it to 3. I’m going to use the second coupon to fix the mess she left and give away the other coupon to a someone else.

Went here for the first time today and I was not disappointed. I normally go to Great Clips but I recently moved and this place was the closest to my apartment. I got there about 35 minutes before close and there was one person ahead of me. I thought I wasn’t going to be able to make it in before closing time but nope! I was in and out with time to spare. The stylist I got was Kayla and she was a delight. Very down to earth and funny, a great conversation. Not to mention, the cut I got was an asymmetrical bob with layers, and that is a cut that is not to be done by amateurs, ya know? It’s one of those weirder, harder haircuts. She asked lots of questions and made sure she got exactly what I wanted. She chopped off half my hair (I went in with very long thick crazy hair), and made me look amazing! I am very very happy with the result. I would definetly go back. Normally when I get a haircut, when I go home I play with it and figure out how I like it for like an 45 minutes. I was in my bathroom maybe 10 minutes playing with my hair this time around, it was done so well! :)

I have been coming here off and on for almost 10 years, well its on again. They still do descent hair, and can do what you ask for. I not so sure about bald fades, but you can get that next door for extra $$$. I have had two different stylists so far and been happy so far. Let’s see how long this one lasts.

Hey guys it’s Shannon! I have moved back to the Round Rock location off 35!!! Come see me!

Yes, this is a chain and not «upscale» by any means, but I would not go anywhere else. Now that I have found My, I always have her cut my hair and she does a wonderful job! I am female with «problem hair» so sometimes it’s hard to find the right stylist. If I can trust her with my hair, then I know she will do a good job for people with normal hair. Truth be known My could go work for an upscale salon, but shhh don’t tell her! I would hate to see her leave! And you can’t beat the price, $ 15 plus tip. You will not find any place that does as good for that price. Thanks My!

Its a chain haircut place, but its close to my home, the other staff is friendly, and theres a particular stylist here that does it right every single time. Her name is My, and she can make even MY mop look good. Not only that, but she actually remembers you, and also remembers how you like yours cut. Shapes, gels, and even takes an electric razor (?) to you if you forgot to shave beforehand. $ 15.00+$ 5.00 tip = satisfaction every time I visit. Thanks My!!!
(Oh…if you get a shampoo before the cut, she gives you an awesome scalp/​neck massage. Thats worth the additional $ 5.00…consider it. Seriously.)

only 2 places can I get a great haircut, one in NYC and the other in Southern Cali. Now for the last 3 years searching, Angie and I met «MIe». We travel over 30 miles just to sit in her chair for a great price too. She is Best In Class

My has been doing my hair for years :) she’s the best! I have naturally curly hair & you can’t have just anyone cut /​color it. Not many people understand how to do curly hair. The staff is always friendly and helpful. I don’t go anywhere else– LOVE THIS PLACE!

I have been going to Cost Cutters for a couple of years now and Duong (Dune sounds like June) is my Barber. She’s the only person that cuts my hair the way I like it. I want an old fashioned hair cut tapered up the back and nicely trimmed around the edges. She does it perfectly every time. She trims my eyebrows and let’s me look at it with a mirror to see that it’s done correctly. I like that and can always depend on her getting it right. The Prices are great as well so you don’t mind leaving a Tip… I like this place and continue going there! Thanks Duong for doing a great job.

Shannon has been doing my hair for a few years now ! She always knows what’s best for my hair! I’m always nervous about haircuts from previous bad experiences but when Shannon does it I always look 100 times better and more stylish ! She is awesome with blondes and it never looks yellow orange when she’s done !! I love her

I’ve been getting my hair cut here for a couple years. They do good work if all you want is a trim or a basic cut. Don’t expect any «styling». Staff is friendly and you are in and out pretty fast.

I typically have my hair cut at the Hair Cuttery in Chicago, and needed to find a place down in Austin. I was disappointed by my experience at Cost Cutters and would definitely decide to go elsewhere next time. For the price, $ 14.95 before tip, I was surprised you don’t receive a shampoo (that costs $ 5 more). My hair was cut nearly dry (only a few spritzes from a water bottle and the ends were still dry) was disappointing. I’m not sure where/​how the stylists are trained, but my stylist did not do a very good job of cutting my side swept bangs and the day after there were pieces that clearly didn’t fall properly. Lastly, the station was not cleaned before I sat in the chair so there was hair everywhere from the previous client. All in all, I recommend finding a full service salon for $ 30 instead.
