SWAYD 5700 South MoPac Expressway, Austin, TX 78749

"Hands down the best haircut experience I’ve ever had. If you’re like me and have always struggled trying to figure out the right hairstyle for your face, or how to style it, or whatever else it may be, you need to book an appointment at SWAYD. I always get nervous with hair appointments, takes me forever to book one because I’m always worried that I’ll come out looking worse. Not here though. The consultation was thorough, no detail was overlooked. We went over where I was at in my life and why I needed a change. He explained how my hair wants to act and what product to use to control it. No joke, I’ve never been happier and more confident after a haircut. The biggest thing that stuck out to me was that he liked how my hair was originally. It was longer and I was kinda self conscious about it. But he really wanted to make sure I needed the cut because to him it looked good. That made me feel great, and it’s nice to go to a stylist who doesn’t want to do things to your hair just to DO IT. It made me feel comfortable. So why are you still reading this? Book an appointment now. Don’t even think about it. You get what you pay for and you won’t regret it."

"Rudy is the best men’s hair stylist I’ve had. I have always been happy with the results—he consistently makes my hair look its best. I would recommend him to anyone wanting an amazing experience!"

"Rudy is the most talented barber I’ve ever had. Not only has he made my hair look better than it ever has in 36 years, he’s an absolute pleasure to talk to and get to know. He is a bonafide master of his craft — this is as top of the line as it gets and worth every penny. Thanks Rudy!"

"I have been seeing Rudy since late 2020. My first cut with him was after a few covid months of not having my hair properly tended to. It was in a very ugly state, and Rudy got in there and brought me back to handsomeness. I have followed him to three different salon locations over the years, the current of which is least convenient for me, but I WILL NOT see anyone else for my hair; it is a pleasure to get to our appointments together. Rudy is precise with scissors beyond what I have experienced with other stylists and always makes me feel brand new when he finishes my cut. He has guided me through hair loss (and regrowth!) and knows when to push and when to fall back and let my neurotic hair demands have their day in the sun. Rudy usually wins, but is willing to hear me out and roll his eyes as I try to explain why I am right about my hair (I'm usually not). Then he advises and uses his expertise and taste level to give me what I didn't know I needed in my cut. Rudy educates on how to style my hair, how to feel my best, how to fully harness the power of my appearance, always with a laid back sense of humor and non-judgmental stance, which is comfortable and comforting. Rudy makes clear that his goal is to make me to feel sexy and powerful and at ease with my look, and his cuts achieve all of the above, and grow out beautifully. I feel very lucky to be a Rudy client. Swayd gets 5 stars, highly recommend, worth every cent."

"Rudy is hands down the best barber! I’ve been going to him since 2018. His cuts are always on point. It's more than a haircut; it's an awesome experience. Highly recommend!"
