The Good Life Barber Shop

This place was great. I scheduled an appointment online. They took me promptly at the appointment time and gave me a great haircut. The barber, Parker, was professional, friendly and provided an overall great experience. Definitely 5 star!

Looked this place up, for the first time yesterday, and made an appointment for the afternoon. When I arrived, the entrance reminded of a speakeasy bar from back east. The entrance is behind a metal gate, and after entering you go down a flight of stairs, that leads you into the barber area, with windows that let you see into the shop as you're walking by. Each barber has a mirror in front of their chair, so the customer (and barber) can keep an eye on the progress of the haircut. TV's galore in the place, so no one is missing out on sports, and the staff are just laid back chill men and women, who enjoy conversing with the customers.

Very nostalgic place, as it reminds me of the haircuts I use to get, in the 1980's as a kid, from the Italians in Bronx, NY and would sit in the shops and listen to older men conversing about their day, lives, family and so on. My barber was Addie. Professional, welcoming and an absolutely wonderful barber. From the moment she greeted me, to the moment I left, Addie was the consummate professional, thoughtful and took meticulous care with the type of haircut I asked for. We chatted it up, about Austin, Texas and many other things, including travel, while she was cutting my hair, and I was just enjoying the comfortable atmosphere that was created in this place.

One of the best haircuts that I've received, since being here in Austin, TX. I will definitely be a returning/regular customer of this place, and will make sure to book Addie for my appointments, as she was on the money with my haircut. I highly recommend this place, and for sure recommend you reserve a haircut from Addie. Five stars!

I was visiting Austin from Los Angeles where everything is currently shut down, so I looked up a barbershop around my hotel so I can get a haircut. I found this gem of a place on google and decided to give it a shot. To access the place you have to walk down the stairs from the street. I really liked the design of the place, very classic barbershop and I loved that they have an extra mirror for every station so that even if you're turned the other way, you can always see the progress on your haircut. I made an appointment with Addie who was super professional and sweet. Great conversation as well. I love the result, just what I wanted and great fade!

Courtney was my barber. She cut my hair really well. Our conversation was pleasant. I really appreciate the atmosphere. She is really talented and recommend my friends and others to go to her. I will ask for her next time I come back to Austin, TX.

Having had multiple bad experiences getting a beard trim & edging from other barbers, I was not sure what to expect from the good life barber shop Austin. When I came, I was greeted by Michael Roach and he very quickly got the idea of how it was suppose to be. At all times I felt I was in great hands, he had great attention to details, and I absolutely love what he did. I can highly recommend Michael & The good Life Barber Shop!.

5 Stars from me.

I gave them a call and they were rude over the phone, they also said I couldn't be booked for a hair cut on the same day.

Nice folks. I was in town for a conference and decided to get a haircut, so yelp led me here. I called and was able to get an almost-right-now appointment with Russell (he happened to have an opening).
He did a great job, and I think you could probably go to any of the barbers here and get good results. Old time feel, great products. Recommended!

I don't like to get haircuts away from home. It's hard for me to explain my haircut, or maybe other barbers just don't listen and do what they want. Needless to say I'm loyal and try to go back to the same person. Four years at my current location!

That said, I missed my two week window and had to go out of town for work and yelp recommended this barbershop . I lucked out and called early to get an appointment. I ended up with Matt Matthews. He is an active listener. I know he listened because he clarified with questions and then performed. He was meticulous and spent a good amount of time (and probably 8 guards) fading the sidewalls.

Matt gave me exactly what I asked for and did it in about 25 minutes, including a straight razor neck shave. I feel a little guilty that I like it better than back home but alas, glad to find a place on the road I can trust.

real good haircut and beard trim from female barber Courtney Schwab. Place was hard to find but I asked the business on the corner and they directed me to the door that leads to the stairway to the barber shop in the basement. This is the best haircut ive got in texas since moving here from LA in 2012.
Courtney paid attention to what I asked for and she was perfect not in a hurry to cut too much off. I showed a picture of me with a good haircut and thats all she needed. Im a musician and I play a show the following and got lots of comments on facebook about how good I looked
I would recomend this place to anybody that cares about their haircut

I just moved to Austin and scheduled an appointment here for a haircut because of the good reviews. When I arrived, I was immediately introduced to my barber, Courtney. I didn't have to wait at all.

I had a wonderful experience with Courtney. She is an excellent barber and spent a lot of time making sure that the cut looked good. Her attention to detail is as good as any barber I have ever visited. I really got the sense that she cares and it showed with the quality of the cut. Highly recommend and I will be back.
