    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.

    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.

    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)

    I'll be back.  Services below:

    $25  Full Haircut 25-30 minutes
    $15+ Kids Haircut 20 minutes
    $35 Hair Cut/Shampoo 40-45 minutes

    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.

    While on vacation visiting family in Dallas I stumbled upon this unassuming Deep Ellum barbershop.  As a salon owner in San Francisco, I thought it might be nice to stop in for a quick trim.  You know, you want to look good in those family photos and as a business owner it's always nice to get out of your own shop and experience something new.  Well, I walked in, Troy, the owner, was able to squeeze me in before his next client and before I knew it I walked out with the perfect fade including the traditional barber clean up - eyebrows, ear hair, etc.  The conversation while in the chair was pleasant - Troy turned out to be a really nice guy and I enjoyed my time in his shop.  If you are in Dallas and looking for a great barber I would definately give him a try!  And, the $25 price was more than reasonable.

    Another stylist/barber - Ashley -  was able to accomodate my partner at the same time.  Honestly - his hair looks great!  We got back to San Francisco after our trip and everyone is commenting on how nice it looks.  He was even told he looks ten years younger.  Great work here all around!!!!

    During a long move from Boston to Austin and in desperate need of a trim, I found Testosterone on Yelp and decided to give them a try.
    Ashley did a tremendous job, probably one of the best cuts I have gotten in some time. My general philosophy regarding hair cuts is: Unless I say differently, I should walk out with the same style (but shorter) that I walked in with and I shouldn't need to tell someone how to do it. That is that their job, not mine otherwise I would do it myself. Ashley achieved this perfectly. She has the skill level of what I would expect from an older barber that has been cutting men's hair for decades. With very little instruction, she gave a wonderful classic hair cut and didn't use all the usual annoying "stylist-speak" about adding texture or shaping. True to what I expect of a very high quality barber, the cut included trimming around my neck, sideburns and ears with a straight razor. No hot lather, but a great feeling cool balm. The casual atmosphere was not forced or fake, and everyone there was genuinely very nice. Without a doubt, the next time I am back in Dallas, I will be back. Why not five stars? Well, that would be attaining haircut nirvana and I cannot go higher than four after one visit.
