Kirby Sr began his barber career at 40 years old after spending his early years in corporate sales. Kirby Sr attended barber college in 2008 and bought the Memorial Barbershop in Houston Texas in 2010. In 2013 he joined Charlie Hall in downtown Austin Texas located at 7th and Brazos. Kirby the Barber and Son was born and bought Charlies in 2018. March 13 of 2020 was the last day of operation due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In fall 2020 the two Kirbys re-emerged as Kirby the Barbers operating out of their historic home in Hyde Park Texas at 39th and Red River.Click image to book and see full schedule.
Welcome to Kirby The Barbers. We're a 100% family owned and operated barbershop in the Historic Hancock neighborhood of Austin Texas. We are caddy corner to the Commodore Perry Estate and Resort, and between a slice and a shank from Texas' oldest golf course, Hancock Golf Course, Est 1899. We are in good company, Groovy Automotive and HEB share our historic corner. We voted in 1959 to sell the back 9 of Hancock Golf course to a local grocer.
We operate our barber shop out of our Historic Brick House, built, right here on Red River, directly across from the street from the oldest golf course in Texas, Hancock Golf Course Est. 1899. We got the balls to prove it.
We're a barbershop of yesterday, minus the cross talk and long wait, we are appointment only. We offer a more relaxing, personal and private experience than the busy chain shops. Its your time and your space. you can spill your guts or take a snooze. We are actual barbers, not hairstylists. We both have over a decade of experience,over 10,000 hours, cutting mens hair. Never a rush, we live on-site, so its clean, quiet, calm and secure, like a home. We hope you feel the same sense of comfort here as we do. We relocated from 7th and Brazos in 2020. Welcome to our home.
We book a full hour so we have plenty of time. Whether you are running late, grabbing cash or just need some extra time, we got you. Not sure what service to book? All bookings are an hour so we can pivot on the spot. Just book something. Remember, we are CASH ONLY, so well make sure you get what you pay for. Reserving the whole hour means we have less appointment slots available per day, so we do ask that you do not no show on us, or cancel at the last minute. We remain flexible so hopefully if you are just running late, you can still make your appointment. If we are doing both hair and beard, best you're on time, no need to rush a cut. 95% of our customers are regulars, many have become lifelong friends. we look forward to you becoming one too.
So for the 64 million dollar question? Which Kirby do I book with? Of course we don't think you can go wrong with either.
Kirby Jr probably has a slightly steadier hand, lol and plays by the book. His skills are solid, his fades are crisp and traditional cuts are perfection. A traditional barber in every sense. He has knack for knowing what looks right.
Kirby Sr is more of a wild card. Kirby Sr, although traditionally trained as Kirby Jr, is a bit more experimental. If you feel like your hair has always been particularly difficult, some of Kirby Sr's non-traditional methods may be the answer.
Regardless who you book with, you'll get a great cut and service unlike any other barbershop you've ever been. We are not always able to accept new customers so get on the books now and reserve a regular spot.
Why go to Kirby the Barbers at all? Our names is on the door, our reputation is paramount to us.
A mans hair and beard are very personal. It's just as important to you, as our reputation is to us. We are truly honored that our customers have come to trust us implicitly with one their most important assets. Their hair and beards. One of the few outward attributes we feel we have some control of. It's one of the first things people notice about us. A great cut, on the wrong guy, still don't cut it. One size does not fit all. You can't chase every trend. You don't need to. Our job, as your barber, is to guide and assist you in a good looking, practical cut and style, that withstands the latest trend. With a regular barber, over time, we dial in the cut and look that truly represents you in your best light. And yes, it will change over the years. Many of our long-time customers are beard only customers. So long, they've gone bald, or so thin, we decided to buzz it. Or so patchy we decided to lather and shave it. If you think that's you, we can help you make a smooth transition and give you some tips to head shaving.
Now, for those of you looking for something edgy and different, its your head, its only hair, it'll grow back. so if you wanna show up to Thanksgiving with a mo-hawk or mullet, we got you there too.
