Booked an appointment here and they canceled with less than an hour notice beforehand. I missed the call so drove all the way out to be turned away at the front door. Instead of working me in at their next available appointment, they merely offered a feeble apology and tried to book me for another day.I understand that issues arise, but when you inconvenience a paying customer there should be something done to make it right. I can say now that I won’t book another appointment at this location (and wouldn’t recommended anyone else either) until something is done to correct the wrong here. Very disappointed.

Chelsea is very sweet and gives people an excellent haircut. I highly recommend others to ask for this beautiful and considerate young lady when they need given haircare.

Always an amazing experience!! Chelsea gave me a very specific haircut, and she.. KILLED.. it! Have my first touch up appointment on Friday, and I am thinking about adding the new pics here too. 40ish dollars but worth every penny!!

Would give it 3.5 stars but since there is no option giving it a 3. For the price they charge its definitely not worth it. They have few good stylist, service is good but for the price they charge you can get a better hair cut or beard style done at better places. Been there multiple times for haircut and beard.

Havent had a hair cut since Covid began (over a year shaving my own head) so this was my first proper hair cut in a while. It was one of the better hair cuts Ive ever received and the added services like the shampoo, neck shave, and massage made the experience great as well. My only gripe is that I valued the hair cut more than the other experience adders. I would have preferred to pay less for only a hair cut.

Ive had a hard time finding someone who understands the hair cut Im going for, Ive been to multiple salons but they just didnt get it. I tried Finleys because I thought maybe a barber shop would be better for short hair. Cynthia did not disappoint. She understood what I was asking for right away and executed it perfectly. Ive never had a shoulder massage with a haircut before, that was really nice. And the hot towel! The whole experience was great. 10/10 would definitely recommend.

The worst service, I made an appointment in person and when I arrived they said if I could move it, do not trust appointments. The customers time is of no value to them.

Review №12

I have been going to this place for years since it is close to my house. I stopped due to Covid. I came back last month (March 2021). The place and the haircut were ok. However, now you need to provide your CC information to do an appointment regardless of how you make it. I do not want to give my CC information unnecessarily. I am not coming back. If you do not care about this requirement then the place is good.

First time in and I had an excellent experience. My hair is difficult to cut and Cynthia did as good of a job as you can do. Superb customer service. Highly recommend Finley’s. They don’t miss a detail!

Chelseas attention to detail was impressive, she made me feel very comfortable with it being my first time getting my hair cut at Finleys.The quality of the cut, service, and help with product I needed was amazing.Will be scheduling again with her and happy to find my new barber!

Ive recently moved to the Austin area, and have been looking for a solid barber to match my very particular styling wants. I cant recommend Meridyn enough! The shampoo and massage is a very nice bonus to the experience as well.

Review №18

Experience was excellent. Haircut/beard trim was very slightly uneven, but only noticeable by me, my wife thought it looked great. Chelsea was friendly, charismatic, and made great product recommendations. She was very gentle with washing, cutting, etc and never let the clippers pinch.

Review №19

This was my first visit. Upon entering the lady at the front desk was incredibly welcoming. She made made me feel right at home and showed me around to their waiting area where they offer complimentary water, soda, beer, wine, coffee, and I dont know what else.I showed up right before my appointment so I didnt hang out long, but went to meet my new barber/hair stylist. Definitely one of my top 2 favorites to ever cut my hair. Extremely articulate, he presented himself well and was very welcoming too.I am now a fan and they will be seeing me here again.Well worth the price of the cut!

Review №20

I tried them once but never again. Worst barbershop in the world. I was 15 min late and they not only asked me to reschedule but also didnt gave my money back as they make you pay online and dont refund or change appointment time. They should be shut down for good of the people

Outstanding staff! My step-son got an excellent barbershop experience. The Beard trim & conditioning I was the best. I am putting this in my routine for every 3 weeks.

Review №22

I was a loyal customer for many years and loved my barber. One day when I came in for a haircut, I was told that my appointment was cancelled by the receptionist with no explanation as to how or why. Then I was told that I was basically just out of luck and to reschedule... Not really how I expected to be treated after many years, but I figured ok, Ill just shoot a message over to corporate on their website and let them know what happened.So I sent a message to Finleys corporate via their website, not even looking for anything in return, just acknowledgment that they messed up and maybe they might ask their receptionists to be a bit more careful in the future... But I never got any response. And thats why Im here now writing a 1 star review for a barbershop that I used to really like. I valued them and looked forward to my haircuts but they did not value me as a customer at all and chose to ignore me instead of owning up to their mistake.

Review №23

Never done a beard trim before, but sometimes someone else needs to do it. Rather enjoyed going in, and leaving about 40 minutes after getting there. Not something Im going to be doing for every hair cut, but will find my way back over there.

Review №24

Excellent experience from start to finish. The staff here was very friendly and genuine. I was greeted by name and told what to expect. Everyone was prompt and on time and I felt valued as a customer. . My barber, KJ, was very friendly and took great care of me. She clearly knows her stuff and it shows. I have always been somewhat dissatisfied with the way people trim my beard, but not this time. I am truly a satisfied customer and I will most definitely be back. Absolutely worth the money.

They only cut mens hair. However if youre a female who wants a mans hair cut e.g. a pixie then they do a fabulous job. I cut off about a foot of hair and got the cutest pixie.

Excellent Barber Shop.Havent been somewhere that they can do a straight razor shave on your head since the military.Cool environment and great barbers. The ability to book online is a plus compared to what I was used to of show up and wait.I would heap praise on my barber, but shes hard enough to get an appointment with as it is. Get your own. :)

Review №37

They did great with my 1 year old! They did everything they could to be sure he was comfortable with the experience and even saved his first hair cut in a nice card and envelope. That was a such a thoughtful gesture. They were all so sweet! My husband had his hair cut by Ali and was very happy with his service. Well be back soon to have his beard shaped! The atmosphere was very relaxing and everyone was welcoming to us. Will recommend to everyone I know who needs their sons haircut!

Review №38

The service is impeccable. I have been here many times and every member of their staff is outstanding. The environment is friendly and clean and the barbers are true artisans of their craft, I cannot recommend this location highly enough. Do not be deterred if you thinking the prices seem a bit high for a simple haircut or trim, it is money well invested as you will leave looking sharp and refined. Ive never been disappointed with my visits and have found my favorite barber that I will continue to use for as long as their are there.

Yup. Its awesome. Cold drinks in a casual wait room / lounge. Friendly staff too. Never had a cut I didnt like, but Chad is a family favorite. My son and I go on Sundays for the discount. Reservations are a good idea.

Review №43

Just to get the most critical questions out of the way first: Its not cheap and not likely to have an opening if you walk in without an appointment.My experience with Finleys has always been wonderful and it seems to get better with every visit. I think Carolina is just a couple more amazing shaves away from me proposing to her...which would almost certainly be rejected, but wont stop her from being my beard wizard forever. Since Im a one barber man, I have to be more flexible with who is available to do my haircut. As a result, Ive gotten cuts from 4-5 different stylists in the shop. Not one of them has let me down yet.Worth every penny.

Review №44

Love Finleys Avery Ranch location. Carolina is awesome! Service is great from the receptionist to the barbers. They do great work on beards, which is why I started going there in the first place.

Review №45

It was my first time at a barber shop, I used to go to Cost Cutters but not anymore. Finley’s was a great place. The lady in the front was extremely welcoming as soon as I walked in. She showed me towards the waiting area in which they had complementary sodas, beer, coffee, mints, and other snacks. The haircut I got was just as good as the quality of the place. Easily the best haircut I’ve ever gotten.I just suggest booking an appointment online, and I HIGHLY recommend you book it with Jen.Jen cut my hair and she did a FANTASTIC job, I loved it. She’s is super cool, really easy to talk to, and if you’re unsure on what you want your hair to look like, she gives great suggestions (and with hair product too).My entire experience with Finley’s was phenomenal, I definitely recommend it.

Review №47

So today was my first time here and I have to say the hype about this place was not accurate. I have a place go to regularly but I was short on time and based on the reviews looked like a good place. I went in for a beard trim a haircut. Nothing fancy. I was told that they indeed did strait razor cuts so I was pretty excited about that. But what I set up apparently was not enough to warrant one. I paid just a shade less and my usual place and get that service plus a razor shave, aftershave, hot towel and a hand message. My original thought was to come back and possible try the other services but after today that is unlikely.

Ja
Review №48

If youre looking for a great haircut with a staff that is motivated and passionate about their craft, this is the place. Ive been coming here for over a year and every stylist is great. The nice touch at the end is getting a clean neck shave - not too common anymore in your run of the mill barbershops.

Was a client of Petes Flattop Shop until they closed due to health issues. Mina came highly recommended. My husband Richard and I both are clients of Mina. She is the best barber in Austin. One of the best haircuts I have had in many years. Finleys is by far one the best barber shops in Austin. I could not give a better recommendation than Mina.

Ive been getting my haircut at Finleys for over a year now and have been completely satisfied. The staff are all friendly and, those that Ive talked with, genuinely enjoy their work. While the price is a bit higher than some of the big box places, its about right for the upscale barber shops and, in my opinion, the quality and consistency of the services makes it worth it. Give them a try, I doubt youll be disappointed.Oh, did I mention you can have a free beer with your haircut? Youre welcome.

Made an appointment, got a call 15 minutes before my appointment they told me a mistake was made. I offered to cancel they told me they would make it work. I showed up only to wait 20 minutes. So 1 pm appointment turned into a 130 appointment more or less. The hair cutter was obviously in a hurry because they just over booked my appointment. I have a fairly simple hair cut but a couple of specific requests. She did whatever she wanted and the results were the exact opposite of my requests. She was unapologetic. The quality of the cut is no better than great clips. Save your money this place is all glitz no substance. Go to a real barber shop.

Been going here for the last few months since the great Jen Clements joined the staff. The shop is outstanding, with friendly staff all around. Real barbers for a straight-edge shave. Only negative - they are stuck on Strangelands brewery, which I am not the biggest fan of, but since we get some free beer while waiting I a not going to complain!

I showed up without an appointment at 11:05 AM... one girl is cutting hair for a customer, three other barbers are standing around...I was told the first available was 1 PM.... I went to my car and took a phone call, no one walked in to the place in the 15 minutes I was on the phone. I just wanted a trim, which would have been done by this time. Striking this place off the list

Only place I go to get trimmed up. Chad is awesome and I have never been anything except 100% satisfied. Im very particular with my hair and beard and the care taken is always top notch.

Been going here for a few months now and I come out satisfied every time AND with a hella fresh cut. Shoutout to my barber ALI for hooking it up and if you write yourself down for him, hell take his time working on your hair and wont let you down on any requests. youll come out feeling good and confident. In general everyone in the shop are also cool and waiting for your haircut.This is a family-friendly barber shop, highly recommended to use their online appointment before going, your time is valuable for them so if you are scheduled to 5 you will be on your chair by 5 exactly ,have many TVs and magazines, beer beverages for your entertainment while you wait your turn.

This location was worth the drive as I got to know how great haircuts at Finleys. : Make an appointment and arrive early to grab a soda or beer while you wait.

Review №97

Ok, so people seem to like this place... But let me explain my review. I was a first time customer, with a first time perspective... I have driven by the location several times, and decided that it was about time to get a cut. Not knowing one thing about this stores policies or practices... I walk into the store... I stand there waiting to be acknowledged by this blonde older lady behind the desk. She ignores me for 10 to 15 minutes, then proceeds to give me an attitude when I simply stated Id like to get a haircut. She barks at me, you have an appointment? Im looking around and see about 3 or 4 chairs empty... Thinking what is up with this place? I inform her this was my first time, and she acts like it doesnt matter to her... She proceeds to tell me that they are by appointment only, that she cant help me, again that they only take appointments and they are booked for the day. Who would go to a place that does not want to help you, barks at you and basically kicks you out the door. This blondie should find another place to work, other than dealing with people and her attitude. I wouldnt go back into that place, and dont know why people go there and put up with this. I can go elsewhere and spend less for a cut, or even not spend at all and just cut my own dang hair.

Review №98

As someone who spent 5 years in the armed services, I am accustomed to getting haircuts every week. With this said- I have had terrible haircuts and I have had great haircuts.Since coming to Finleys, the latter has been redefined. I have yet to have a reason to question whether or not I will reschedule, let alone get someones number that night.

Ali, I recommend him because he took the time on my noggin. In all of North Austin barber shops Ive been to, Finleys won me over after a year searching... Call ahead because they are usually busy!
