Testosterone Barbershop

Drove all the way from Frisco for a 6:30 appointment got there around 6:15 waiting for Troy to finish his appointment before mine. 6:50 rolls around and one of Troy’s friends walks in and I’m told since this guy has his kids with him that he won’t be able to get to me tonight. Fine. Won’t EVER Come back here again, the quality of work is not good enough to put up with that. Would rate 0 stars if I could.

First, the good: Hannah was friendly and gave me a good haircut.
However, I probably won’t come back. The owner wasn’t friendly at all when I came in or left. Maybe he was having a bad day. The place is pretty cluttered and the floors and walls are in bad shape. That wouldn’t be a big deal if a basic haircut didn’t cost $ 30. I was shocked when she told me my total, but I guess it’s my fault for not looking beforehand… I feel like for $ 30 it should be a better experience and atmosphere. Too bad because Hannah did do a good job.

I live in Deep Ellum and I never knew this barbershop was here! I had a wedding to go to last weekend and I was in a pinch for a haircut. I called them and they were able to squeeze me into their busy schedule. Chris was the barber who cut my hair, he did a great job! I would recommend this place to anyone and I’ll be coming back!

I didn’t know it was appointment only when I walked in. Hannah was the only stylist there and I was the only customer. Fortunately for me she was able to give me a style cut. My hair is naturally curly and can get quite bushy/​wavy. I had been growing my hair out since August 2013. I was in serious need of some hair maintenance. I found the perfect stylist!
She really took her time and we discussed options that I could do. Hannah told me things about curly hair maintenance, and, gave me lots of information on taking care of it. For instance, I’m not a gel guy I only use leave in conditioner, she informed me I was putting the conditioner in the wrong way! Blue needs to be white and you massage in from the scalp out working under the hair. Huh? Show me that again?

Best haircut I’ve had in years. Troy knows how to give you a clean cut. I haven’t experienced a barber this good since I moved from Miami 14 years ago. Making an appointment makes things much easier.

Called mid afternoon, and Hannah had me in chair about an hour later… quick clean cut, but an appointment a little more in advance is probably a better idea. The shop is more old line barber shop than snooty salon, but they can handle about anything you need. Quality clean beard trims are a specialty with Troy…

I travel all over and I try many different barber shops. I have to say this is my favorite so far. Go see Todd you won’t regret it.

Troy does great work, he has great attention to detail and you can tell he’s passionate about his craft! Book early online because he will book up that day

Umm what can i say. Ive found the one and only person to cut my hair. Im not use to being able to make an appt. for a barber but it works. I was late of course but sat right down and he went to work saving me from the overgrown mess i had going. Thank you. I have plenty of referrals coming your way bro.

This is now my regular barbershop. Troy is very hospitable and offers fantastic conversations about everything under the sun. His cuts and style are still better than what you ask for.

I love this barbershop because it’s close to Downtown Dallas and it’s by appointment only. Troy, the proprietor, can try to squeeze you in in a pinch if you call him day of but it’s best to schedule online a day ahead of time. Parking is on the street so bring quarters with you.
Troy is one of the few barbers that I’ve found that offers both head and facial razor shaves. He uses high quality shaving products and I never get razor burn. He is a perfectionist and will spend the time to make sure your haircut is symmetrical and looks absolutely perfect. He also doesn’t forget the little things like the trimming the unibrow, nose & ear hairs.

My son and boyfriend got cuts here. It took forever, and the cuts were uneven all over. The backs were mishapen, the bangs were odd lengths, sideburns lopsided. Terrible.

If you want a great haircut — see the King! T. King, that is (owner).
I’ve been coming to Testosterone Barbershop for just over a year now and was very happy to have found it. Most places in Dallas will charge $ 60+ for a quality haircut, or will provide a lousy cut for substantially less.
Testosterone Barbershop provides killer haircuts every time. What I appreciate about the owner is that he takes his time (turning down appointments does not scare him) to ensure each and every appointment receives #1 quality. He’ll also tell you that it takes time to ‘get to know the customers head’ as he cuts it, and is willing to spend extra time for new customers to ensure they get a great cut.
Great conversation, top-​notch haircuts, and affordable prices.
Go see the King!

Great place in Deep Ellum, and I recommend riding to Baylor Station and walking the block since parking is kinda uggghhhh in Deep Ellum, which is completely fun with me because I’m down with neighborhoods that aren’t slaves to cars.
Anyway, the door is hard to open, so don’t make the mistake I made of looking like an idiot and knocking because you thin it’s locked. The interior definitely feels like a guy’s place without the scents and «Would you like a glass of wine?“s that high-​end salons use as their distinguishing marks.
Troy cut my hair, and he’s a great guy. He was able to find something to talk about, and did it effortlessly. I never felt like that uncool guy that doesn’t talk (although I think that would have fine too) and I didn’t feel like I was straining to have a conversation.
Haircut looks great. I had to do minimal explaining (I hate that part) and he got straight to it.
Also, the online booking is a *snap.*

What a great barbershop! Great vintage feel with a lofty vibe! Troy is very professional with a great precision cut. This shop is very detailed oriented! 5 star experience.

I’ve been to this place twice. The haircuts here are classic. The barbers attention to detail is a refreshing change of pace from what I’ve experienced at salons.
I like my hair to be styled messy. You really have to work with the barbers here to get anything other than a 1950’s style haircut.

I love this barbershop and I like the proprietor (Troy King) as well. He is always pleasant with a positive attitude.
If I wasn’t already won over by Troy and his dedication to service I certainly became that way during the ice storm we had during Superbowl weekend. Troy was right there in his barbershop as usual when no one else showed up. This was a convenient time for him to stay at home with his family but he was right there ready to serve.
How many barbers will actually discuss Lombardi principles with you when you sit down in their chair? Not any that I personally know.
Check this place out and I promise you’ll book a standing appointment each week just like me.

My brother took his wedding party here to get hot shaves the day of his wedding. There were 5guys total, and 2 of our group got really great shaves from one of the barbers. The other one, allegedly the owner, tore up each of the 3 faces he touched. Some cuts weren’t bad, but one of us got absolutely maimed. It was an absolute travesty. I was unfortunate enough to get the owner, and he was going against the grain and I could tell that blade hadn’t been sharpened in a LOOOOONG time. We all finished up and they had the nerve to charge something like 35 bucks a piece for that garbage. I don’t know what you’re used to when you get a shave, but at that price, I would have expected a lot more. I’ve had better 10 dollar shaves, seriously.
Again, the only thing saving this from a one star experiences were the 2 shaves that looked fantastic. Something needed to change about that owner’s technique.

I get a shave and a buzz cut so I obviously am impressed.
Always enjoy visiting with Ashley and Troy when I am in the chair.

Due to all the flagging and «talk» hype threads I actually went here for a hair cut. It’s an old school barber shop, not some pussified salon. Troy and Ashley are real people and nice people at that. I used to go to Tony and Guy for a fifty to eighty dollar cut depending on what level the «stylist» had graduated to, from the Tony and Guy School. What a jip. Then I found a place, where for forty eight dollars you get tits in the face during the scalp massage (frigging hair wash) and a crap cut.
Now, I’ll wash my own hair, make a phone call, and get it cut for 25 bucks, from a straight up barber.
Oh, and if you’re pissed off cuz you have a shit job and have to squeeze in a cut on your lunch break… Maybe Troy will let you take a couple swings at his punching bag, that’s hangin right there in the shop.
This is a mans place, although they do do women (that’s what she said). One of the best cuts I’ve had. (period)
