Austin barber in bouldin

I first visited Austin in 2005 when some family members relocated here from New Orleans. Over the years, my curiosity about the city grew with each visit, I was drawn to Austin's arts scene, its love for live music, and the laid-back energy that permeates the city. I hoped to find a community full of free spirits, artists and kind people and that idea lingered until I finally moved here in 2020.

I spent a lot of time exploring Austin’s neighborhoods, searching for a place that would suit both my business and lifestyle. I drove through every corner of the city—north, south, east, and west—before settling on Bouldin Creek. There's an intangible energy here, The people are laid-back and easygoing, embracing a slower pace of life, and there’s a strong sense of community. It’s clear that those who live here genuinely care about the city they’ve chosen.

I've been working in Bouldin Creek for four years now, building relationships within the community and offering my heart in commerce. Like many big cities, Austin is home to a wealth of talented artists, hairstylists, and barbers. But one thing I’ve noticed is how easy it is to find a quick, cheap haircut. That’s not what I want to offer. I aim to give my clients the most profound haircut they’ve ever experienced. I care deeply about my craft and trust that my clients care about the service they receive. It’s a synergistic exchange, where we align energetically. I use only hand-forged Japanese scissors and precisely crafted combs, treating each look as a new project. I take a holistic approach, considering the client’s unique hair texture, bone structure, growth patterns, and preferences. My goal is to tailor the haircut to perfectly fit their skull, crafting the cut to fit like a glove.

Bouldin Creek is incredibly walkable, and I love discovering mom-and-pop shops that have seamlessly blended into the neighborhood. It’s cool to see people out and about in 78704—a blend of tourists inspecting Austin for the first time on South Congress and locals strolling South First to grab a coffee or a bite to eat. The salon is located just off South Lamar, a bustling area frequented by both locals and visitors.

Bouldin Creek offers quick access to downtown Austin and the eclectic shops along South Congress. This compact neighborhood is filled with tree-lined streets and roundabouts, where you’ll often find homeowners cycling or walking their dogs. It embodies the “Keep Austin Weird” philosophy, with colorful houses, unique landscaping, and the occasional vegetable garden or rainwater collection tank. Notable landmarks include Auditorium Shores, the Long Center for the Performing Arts, and the Palmer Community Events Center. The neighborhood also houses the 65-acre Texas School for the Deaf, and its history dates back to the early 20th century, when affordable land attracted residents despite frequent flooding from the Colorado River. Most of Bouldin’s growth occurred in the 1920s and 1930s.

I look forward to meeting you and offering you a fantastic haircut!
