Fades, tapers & beard work
The signature. Skin fades, tapers, line-ups, and a beard trim that frames the whole thing. "Best fades in town, hands down" is a real review, not our words.
Est. on Montopolis · East Austin
Ed’s Barber Shop
Sharp fades. Bold color. A neighborhood institution.
A barber shop and a hair salon under one roof. Crisp fades and beard work, kids' cuts, blowouts, and color that turns heads. Angela and the team have you, walk-ins and all.
Todos bienvenidos. Walk-ins welcome, hablamos español.
What we do
Two chairs, one standard: get it right.
Most folks come in for a fade or a beard. Plenty come in for color and a blowout. We do all of it, and we take our time on every head that sits down.
Kids' haircuts
Patient with the little ones, even the squirmy ones. Parents come back because the first cut goes well.
Freehand designs & hard parts
Want a part carved in, a star, a clean piece of line work? The clippers do more than fades here.
Color & balayage
Soft highlights and natural balayage, or full bold fashion color: purple, teal, green, blue. Sherry and the team are not afraid of a vivid box.
Women's cuts, layers & curtain bangs
Shapes that grow out well and layers that move. Curtain bangs done so they actually sit right.
Blowouts & styling
Smooth, full, and finished. The kind of blowout that makes a regular out of a first-timer.
Our work
Walk through the chair.
Every photo here is real work from the shop. Fades and beards on one wall, color and styling on the other.
From the neighborhood
People do not switch once they find Ed's.
"Best fades in town hands down. It's more of a barber shop than a salon, so don't let the name scare you away. Took me 5 shops to find this place and I haven't switched since."
Samuel Lopez
"I've been a customer for five years. Angela the owner has been doing an excellent job. She and the team are really friendly and the prices are very affordable. The best barber shop in Austin."
Miguel Carrillo
"One of the best places in Austin to get a haircut. I get mine by Yoendry and Hector, their attention to detail is spectacular. Angela runs a great shop!"
Edward Lambert
"Sherry is awesome. She does the best blowout and awesome layers with curtain bangs. She even does my dad's bald fades perfect. Great service!"

"Super clean and the guys are very friendly. I get my son's hair cut by Leo, a professional barber, and I'll keep going back."
Nerianny Garcia
"My hair is not easy to style but Hector gave me the best haircut I've ever had."
Paul Grau
"Did a walk-in while visiting for work. Very personable, paid close attention to detail, and the cut plus beard trim was so affordable. Would go back."

The shop
Run by Angela, kept by the regulars.
Ed's has been cutting Montopolis for years. Angela holds the whole place down and runs it like family, which is why folks like Miguel have been coming back for half a decade and bring their kids along.
The crew, Leo, Paul, Hector, Yoendry, Angel, and Sherry, can take you from a number-two fade to a full head of color without missing a beat. Clean shop, honest prices, no rush in the chair.
