Fresco Fades Barber shop San Antonio

I have been to several salons and every time they have mess my hair up, assume what they think I want, and it comes out nothing like what I went in for. Timothy took his time to do a consultation, know my hair history, and asked several questions to get the precise color and style I was going for. He even helped me with knowing what products would be best for my hair type. For the first time I walked out after a hair appointment with a huge smile! He completely transformed my hair from streaky blonde hi-lights to a gorgeous copper. He also cut it to a long layered collar bone length. The service was amazing and the atmosphere in the shop was very laidback and welcoming. Will be coming back!!

Jose at Fresco Fades Barbershop did an amazing job cutting my twin teenage boys’ hair! He really took his time and paid close attention to detail. Both cuts came out perfect. On top of that, he kept them entertained with light, friendly conversation, which made the whole experience enjoyable for them (a rare thing with teenage boys who usually communicate in grunts). The shop itself is very clean and has a great vibe. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a skilled and personable barber!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fresco Fadez is hands-down the best thing that’s happened to my boys’ hair (and my sanity as a mom). Tim and José are absolute legends. Tim has been cutting my 10-year-old’s hair and José takes care of my 17-year-old, and both kids now actually look forward to getting a haircut. We used to bounce around the usual budget walk-in spots and left disappointed every time. Since switching to Fresco Fadez a couple months ago, the cuts are consistently incredible, the fades are crisp, and the overall experience is night-and-day better. What really sets this place apart is the way Tim and José treat the kids. My 17-year-old is autistic and can talk for hours about video games, Norse/Greek mythology, you name it—José jumps right in, keeps up, and makes him feel completely at ease. My 10-year-old (who thinks he’s the coolest 4th grader on the planet) walks out feeling like a little gentleman every time. The shop vibe is welcoming, the jokes are flying, and both barbers interact with the kids and me like we’ve known them forever. Same price as the big chain places, but with appointment reliability, way higher quality, and genuine care you just don’t find anywhere else. These are the kind of barbers my boys will choose to keep going to when they’re grown men. Tim and José, thank you—we’re customers for life! 🙌 (Highly recommend for anyone, especially parents of picky or neurodivergent kids looking for a barber who actually “gets it.”)

I had told my man to go to this barbershop for a hot minute and he had finally decided to go since he hadn’t had a haircut in a while. I wanted him to get something textured since he’s always had a middle part, and yk Eleazar pulled up a pic and I was like hell yeah that’s the cut for real. After it was all done I got up to look at it closer because I’m like blind without my glasses and when I tell you I ain’t never seen my mans hair look this good I ain’t never. I really do recommend this place, great atmosphere, positive attitude and great service. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It’s usually hard to find a great barber after moving away from your hometown, especially when you’ve been with the same barber for years. When you’re new to an area, that makes it even tougher. I can honestly say I’ve been very satisfied here and haven’t gone to any other barbershop in San Antonio since finding this one. The vibes are always great, everyone is super friendly, and I genuinely have a good time every visit. Shout out to my barber Jose for consistently giving clean fades and great cuts. Highly recommend this shop!
