A Trim &
A Shave,
Honestly Done.
— Waterloo Barbershop —
A working gentlemen's parlour on Bee Caves Road in West Austin. Brass fixtures, oxblood leather, and an honest chair. We open the doors at ten and put on the kettle whenever a regular hangs his coat. Sit down, Jessica will see you.
The Barber's Charter, in Brief.
Waterloo is a parlour for the working gentleman. We cut hair, we trim beards, and we shave with a straight razor and a good hot towel. We do this slowly, on purpose, by hand.
The room is dark wood and low light. The chair is oxblood leather, set on tile. There is always coffee on the stove, and the radio is on low. You are welcome to sit a while after your cut.
Jessica Mitchell, the owner, works the chair Tuesday through Saturday by appointment. Read the longer charter on our about page, or view our tariff.

Jessica is the best in Austin for men's and boys haircuts. My son and I have been coming to her for years and we love her attention to detail and high-quality cuts. The new shop is modern, relaxing and the candy wall is just awesome!

I have been going to Waterloo for 5+ years. The experience is always great and very professional. I would highly suggest their services. Great for kids too, my son goes as well and always enjoys it.

Great across the board. I've referred probably a dozen or more of my buddies to go to Waterloo throughout college. Convenient central location right off of Bee Caves in Westlake as well.

Haircuts and services could not be better. The new barbershop is awesome — brick wall, great colors, new chairs, and classy stations. Always looking forward to my next haircut.

Love the vibe. Jessica is great and the new location is super easy to get in and out. She does a fabulous job and is super diligent. Love the candy wall by the way.

Great place, easy location (covered parking) with a clean, professional cut. I was traveling and needed a cut before I got on the road — I was in and out quickly. I will be a regular here for sure.
