Woodlake Barber Shop

Gilbert, the legend, the myth, just turned 90 years old last month. He's older than my grandparents, yet he's still in good shape with steady hands and a clear, sharp mind. He's been cutting people's hair since he was 25 years old, which was before my parents were even born. He still uses an old-style method to cut hair. The scissors are the traditional "cha-ching, cha-ching" type. He shaves the borderlines of the sides and the back of your hairline with shaving foam. The haircut ends with a head massage. He charges $20 for a haircut. I'm satisfied with my result. It's really a great experience. Other reviewers are right. Go get a haircut from him while he's still available.

The most authentic, old-school barber shop experience in Houston. I came for a haircut and left with life experience. You walk into Mr. Gabriel's shop and you feel like you have been transported back in time. There are Old WW2 books and antique photos on the walls. Mr. Gabriel has exquisite technique and vast knowledge of his craft. If you have hair, you need to experience this place. Can't wait for my hair to grow back so I can return for more stories.

Gilbert is a master hair dresser. He gives me the best haircuts I’ve ever gotten, and he will work with you to figure out the best options. The classic barber shop decor makes me comfortable, and I always enjoy visiting with Gilbert. I’ve been coming here for years and encourage you to see Gilbert for as long as he’s still cutting hair

Gilbert is a class, old school gentleman that does a great job cutting hair. Fun to sit in his chair and chat too! 10/10 recommend

Gilbert has given me exactly the haircut I want every time I’ve gone over to his little barber shop. He’s been doing this for not just years, but several decades and is truly an expert in his profession. He has great attention to detail plus he’s very upbeat and talkative. He’s even occasionally trimmed my beard for no extra charge! I recommend his services 100%.
