Betty is amazing, I was struggling with a rough haircut and she fixed me up quickly and I feel much better. Very kind woman, felt like I was talking to family - thank you, Betty! Also, was able to score locally made bracelet!

Betty is absolutely amazing! She did everything perfectly! She was also super fast with her services! I absolutely love my haircut!

Betty is extraordinary with hair. I have moved 51 miles away, but still don’t mind the trip back to get a great cut. I have tried many places only to pay for something I didn’t like or ask for. I don’t need a drink to get a haircut. I’m not there just to socialize with everyone. The only draw back is that the waiting list can get pretty far back. So I recommend you call to reserve your name on the list as opposed to just showing up.

Betty is the absolute sweetest and best! I came here to fix a messed up hair cut from a chain and have kept coming back!

It's always a risk when you cut off your hair but I'm happy with how it turned out. She was very quick and professional. I have very fine hair that always looks limp but this has volume.

The hair stylist was very Curtis and knowledgeable in her profession she did an amazing job..

HOT girls, HOT cuts, you gotta get the "PING" but only on Saturdays!!!!!


Feb 06, 2023

Love, Ping!

Ping has been cutting my hair at Special Cuts since 2014. She is an excellent hairdresser and has a dedicated clientele. Initially I was lured in by the $7 Wednesday haircut special. But it got so busy on Wednesdays that I started going other days she works and paid full price ($12) + tip. Still so worth it compared to other more glitzy salons. Update 8/8/2020: Appointments are highly recommended now with the COVID regulations in place. All customers are also required to wear face masks. There is no more $7 Wednesday special and Ping only works Saturdays but the other lady (Betty) may be there during the week. Still a great salon and best value for consistent, personalized service.

Ping has been cutting my hair for several years now; Starting going in the Wednesday special for $7 then the COVID hit and were closed for awhile then started opening only on Saturday plus by appointment and mask required. Finally Ping was there in Saturday so was able to get a haircut.. Ping is a very nice lady and does a wonderful haircut. I would recommend her to anyone for a haircut. Keep up the great work Ping!!!

After 70 years of hair cutters, for the first time my hair cutter really listen to what I wanted, made great suggestions, and cut my hair like I wanted. Thank you Dominique.


Feb 06, 2022

Excellent service, very modest price.


Feb 06, 2022

Fast service


Feb 06, 2022

Great place. I can’t believe I never knew about this place. The lady that cut my hair was so nice and did an amazing job. Why have I been paying $34+ at places like Birds? I actually think the shop isn’t charging enough, it was only $12. Will definitely be going back.


Feb 06, 2022

The staff is very polite and friendly. Good prices, no wait, quality cut. I don't see any reason to go anywhere else

Best cut of my life


Feb 06, 2021

Betty is always there and gives a nice haircut the way you want it. Very cheap prices.


Feb 06, 2021

Great barber, deserves more attention and customers, stop by for a good cut! Help support a local business.


Feb 06, 2021

Men’s haircut is only $12. They are so sweet and welcoming. I tried bunch of fancy barbers for $35-$40 but to be honest I got the best haircut in Austin here. When you walked in it seems like an old place but just give them a chance I swear you are not going to regret it. 10/10 thank you!


Feb 06, 2021

My family has been getting their haircut at this shop for many years. Its a great little shop with reasonable prices. I highly recommend it!!!


Feb 06, 2021

Nice and clean cut for a reasonable price.

Good price, friendly staff

Great service - probably the best barber shop in town. $12 for a men’s cut not sure you can beat it.
