Kenneth Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Hi, I just came from a barbershop that I found through the Yellow Pages. They did a really great job EXCEPT..they're so far away in the northwest part of Houston and I live near TSU (where I'm attending as well). I'm basically looking for really good barbershop that's close to TSU, University of Houston or near the Galleria area, because I am working at the mall. Thanks!

Houston1stWordOnTheMoon Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 My gramps goes to a place located on the adjacent street to Fiesta. The location of the Fiesta store is the corner of San Jacinto and Wheeler. I dont remember the name of the side street, but the shop is right even with the store on the adjacent street, opposite side. Its cheap and he loves it. I think he only pays $3 or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Great Hizzy! Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 There's a place called Maxie's on Griggs at MLK that's pretty good from what I hear. There's also a place at North MacGregor and Scott whose name I can never remember but they're almost always packed.But like someone posted earlier, there are a boatload of 'em in Third Ward. Word of mouth or just strolling around the area will give you some more leads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hbcu Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 I'm not one to wait for a haircut....if you find a good barber who is flexible in his hours keep him handy...there's really no one place I can recommend anywhere because there are so many now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidtownCoog Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 What about "Midnights"? That place has always intrigued me. It's at Main under 59 more or less across from the Comptempory Crafts museum and kinda next to Wendey's. I used to drive by there at 2:00 in the morning and they were still open. Hense the name "Midnights"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmariar Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 There's a great one at Almeda (@ Binz).

Original Timmy Chan's Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 I see the guy two doors down from me cutting hair in his living room pretty regularly...I don't know about quality, but I bet he's cheap!

713 To 214 Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 I'm basically looking for really good barbershop that's close to TSU, University of Houston or near the Galleria area, because I am working at the mall. Thanks!Aren't you really looking for a good barber as opposed to a good barber shop?btw, what makes a good barber shop? . . .the number of shoe shine guys on hand at any given moment, the number of barbers who actually cut hair, the number of barbers who tell jokes, whether or not I can get a hot link sandwich from the bar-b-que man while I wait, how many flat-screen televisions they have in the place? I mean, come on, how would one judge such a thing as the "best African American barbershop?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.A.S.O.N. Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Aren't you really looking for a good barber as opposed to a good barber shop?btw, what makes a good barber shop? . . .the number of shoe shine guys on hand at any given moment, the number of barbers who actually cut hair, the number of barbers who tell jokes, whether or not I can get a hot link sandwich from the bar-b-que man while I wait, how many flat-screen televisions they have in the place? I mean, come on, how would one judge such a thing as the "best African American barbershop?"I think he just meant a good barber or barbers, not "barber shop" per se. However, I don't believe all barbershops are created equal. There are unprofessional barbershops that allow all sorts of conversation while kids are there. Some play all sorts of music with vulgar language. And my all time favorite is the barber that handles his personal business while cutting your hair. He's on the phone, eating, in the parking lot, having discussions with other clients... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ooires Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 For my money, I think Maxie's at 5111 Griggs Rd. is a pretty good spot. Plenty of barbers, and a manicurist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
