Is it hard to find the best barbers in Austin? Well, thanks to South by Southwest (sorry, we mean SXSW) and the city’s reputation as a relatively liberal island in the sea of Texas cowboy conservatism, Austin is often cited as one of the hippest (and hipsteriest) cities in the country.
That doesn’t necessarily spell good things for haircuts, since painfully hip dudes often do terrible things to their hair. But the best barbers in Austin will have you walking out the door looking great every time … or give you emo bangs and a dyed mullet if you really beg them for it, you hipster goofball.
