Helotes Barber Shop

Love this barber shop! Super cuts, friendly staff and free peanuts n ESPN. What more does a guy need. Oh, good prices, too!

I like to support local business and don’t usually leave a review unless the service is extremely good or poor. Unfortunately in this case the service was extremely poor. About a month ago my son and I received hair cuts from a stylist that were so bad I had to have someone fix both our cuts. I figured maybe the stylist was having a bad day. I went back today and waited a full hour and as I was about to inform the stylist of the haircut I wanted but she directed me to the stylist that messed up our hair earlier. I informed her I would like her to cut my hair and she told me she did not cut my kind of hair. I was not sure if that meant my style of haircut or type of hair but I was not going to give her the opportunity to prove her lack of skill. Definitely not recommending or returning.

Been here several times since moving to San Antonio about a year ago. First off I do agree with Leslie’s review that the general attitude here is very negative. The EXCEPTION to that is stylist Sheila, who I always ask for and will wait for if she’s busy. She does an excellent job, and has a great attitude, almost totally opposite of the other ladies working there. If it weren’t for Sheila I would go somewhere else, but I recommend giving her a shot. It’s nice doing business with a local place that still has the small town feel.

Very decent prices and my son got exactly what he was wanting (he’s 9, typically does the super short on the sides, long on top hipster cut). The stylists/​barbers seem generally unhappy and annoyed, but… They seem to do good job, so… We’ll probably give it a second chance. Maybe everyone will be in a better mood that day.

Decent haircut with straight razor shave of neckline and behind the ears. It would be a great place if they actually catered to their clientele a bit. For example, this is supposed to be a guys place. It has sports team gear all over, and one of the TV’s shows ESPN, which is good.
The problem is that the main TV, the one that you see sitting in the chair, and the one with the sound turned on is showing Rachel Ray. Seriously, guys don’t want to come to a barber shop to watch Rachel Ray flirt with Kermit the Frog, which is exactly what was going on when I was in there as short time prior to this review. In addition, the barbers, which are all female, seem to spend just as much time watching Rachel Ray as they do actually cutting hair. I have been their twice now, and both times I can see my barber watching the TV while they are supposed to be focusing on my haircut.
I gave it two chances in case the first time was a fluke. I won’t be back for a third.

Excellent customer service and reasonable prices. Since moving to SA, I’ve been several times for a haircut and haven’t been disappointment. Razor cuts and warm towels to boot.
