After visiting Mikey a couple times my coworker asks me one evening at work, “Is your barber black!? Because he shapes your hair to match your bone structure really good.” CTB Washington and Mikey are top notch!

I’ve been going to Thomas for over 8 years, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my hair and beard. Every visit is top-tier service—he consistently goes above and beyond to make sure everything is sharp, clean, and exactly how I want it. His attention to detail, especially with my beard, is unmatched and it always shows. On top of that, the atmosphere is always fun and laid-back, making every appointment something I genuinely look forward to. Thomas truly cares about his craft and his clients, and it makes all the difference.

I went to cut throat to have my hair cut / freshened up and decided to go with Mikey as the barber of choice. He did a fantastic job on the taper fade based on the feedback I provided to him prior to the cut. He was very patient in trying to understand what I was envisioning and we even struck up a nice conversation about various hobbies and cars. Overall, highly recommended and would definitely suggest Mikey / Cut Throat to anyone seeking a high quality cut

I’ve been going to Thomas at Cutthroat for over 8 years now, and every single visit reminds me why I keep coming back. Thomas has my haircut down to a science—he nails the part every time, making sure it’s sharp, natural, and exactly how I like it without me having to say a word. But it’s not just the precision; the conversations are always top-notch, whether we’re chatting about sports, life, or whatever’s in the news. It’s like catching up with an old friend while getting a flawless cut. If you’re looking for a barber who delivers consistent quality and a great vibe, look no further, highly recommend! 5 stars all the way.

I’ve been going to Cutthroat Barbers on Washington for almost a decade, and I can’t recommend this place enough. The barbers here are highly skilled, and the fact that many of them have such long tenure says a lot about the quality of the shop and the great working environment they’ve built. Danny has been my barber for nearly ten years and he always gets my hair exactly right - consistent, detailed, and professional every single time. I’ve also seen plenty of cuts by, Tommy, Danny’s neighbor, and can vouch he’s just as skilled and dialed in. From day one, everyone on staff has made me feel welcome. The atmosphere is relaxed, friendly, and just an overall great place to be. If you’re looking for a barbershop you can stick with long term, this is it.

I’ve been going to Danny for like 9 years, and at this point this isn’t just a haircut — it’s a full confidence maintenance program. My self-esteem is honestly tied to his booking availability. The fades are always flawless, the hilarious conversation never misses, and every appointment somehow doubles as therapy. I walk in looking like I barely survived the week and leave feeling like I have plans, goals, and a better credit score. Side effects include checking my reflection in every window, volunteering for social plans I was fully planning to cancel, and making unnecessary stops on the way home strictly so people can see the haircut. Friends compliment me, strangers are nicer to me, and for at least 5 business days I believe I have my life completely together. If you ever see me looking put together in public, just know this man is responsible.

5 stars for Mikey. No hesitation. From the moment you sit down with Mikey, he’s locked in. He listens. He genuinely wants to understand what you’re going for and how you live day to day. Nothing feels rushed. Nothing feels generic. The result is always intentional, clean, and built specifically for you. Mikey doesn’t just do fades. He understands hair. Straight, thick, curly, thinning, growing it out, cutting it down, beard work. He adapts to all of it. He works with your texture and growth patterns instead of forcing some cookie cutter template. He’s one of those rare people who can hold a conversation about anything with anyone. Travel, business, culture, random life philosophies, whatever’s on your mind. He’s worldly and grounded. Ambitious and genuine. A hustler in the best sense of the word. You can tell he truly cares about people and wants them walking out confident and taken care of. Mikey brings great energy to the chair and makes the whole experience easy. You leave looking sharper and feeling like you’ve got your life together, or at least like you could convince people you do. Shout out to Dakota too, incredible attention to detail and professionalism. Every cut I’ve gotten from him has been precise, consistent, and dialed in. He’s easy to talk to, makes you feel comfortable in the chair, and brings the same calm confidence to every appointment. Bottom line: You show up for the cut, you leave leveled up. 5 stars, every time.

I’ve been getting my haircut from Danny for over 10 years now, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else. Even when I was living in Dallas, I would plan my trips to Houston around getting a cut from him whenever possible. That alone says everything. Danny is an incredible barber — highly skilled, detail-oriented, and extremely knowledgeable. He has a great eye for what style fits you best and always makes sure you leave looking sharp and confident. The entire team at Cutthroat is warm, welcoming, and professional, which makes the experience even better every time. Highly recommend Danny and the whole shop!

First cut with Mikey at Cut Throat on Washington and I’m officially locked in. I’ve been growing my hair out and honestly had no clue what direction to take it. Mikey took the time to walk me through everything, explain what would work best, and guide me instead of just rushing into a cut. I gave him full trust and he absolutely delivered. Clean, intentional work that keeps the growth looking sharp instead of awkward. You can tell he really knows his craft. On top of that, he’s a good friend of mine, so it was a great time catching up and even better seeing how much he’s grown in his craft and in his space. Proud of him. The shop is super chill, classic chairs, vintage vibe, even free beer while you wait. And when your barber hits that wide stance, you already know it’s about to go down. Highly recommend Mikey if you want someone knowledgeable who genuinely cares and takes pride in what he does.

If you’re in Houston and not getting your cut from Mikey Nguyen at Cutthroat Barbershop on Washington Avenue… what are you even doing? I walked into Cutthroat looking like I just survived Houston humidity and bad life decisions. I walked out looking like I pay taxes early and moisturize daily. Mikey didn’t just give me a haircut — he gave me a character upgrade. The fade? Stupid clean. The lineup? Sharper than the Houston skyline. The blend? So smooth it needs its own slow-jam playlist. Mikey takes his time, pays attention to detail, and treats every cut like it’s going on a billboard. You can tell he takes pride in his craft. The shop vibe on Washington Ave is 🔥 — clean, professional, and just the right amount of cool. If you want a barber in Houston who actually understands precision, style, and how to bring your vision to life, book Mikey Nguyen at Cutthroat Barbershop. Your mirror, your selfies, and probably your dating life will thank you. 10/10. Certified Houston heat.
