For the first week of business, lasting until Jan. 27, Birds Barbershop is donating all haircut proceeds to the Central Texas Food Bank, a hunger-relief charity serving Central Texas, as part of a “Haircuts Fighting Hunger” campaign.
“The barbershop has always served as a community hub,” Chelsea Hadden, president of Birds Barbershop said in a statement. “We’re thrilled to kick off the new year by bringing our high-quality brand of haircuts to a new neighborhood and to help fight hunger in the process.”
Birds Barbershop first opened in 2006 on South Lamar Boulevard by childhood friends Michael Portman and Jayson Rapaport. Since then, Birds has served upwards of 20,000 people each month.
The newest location is described as “'90s themed” by the barbershop. The shop features two 30 foot tall interior murals by Bryan Keplesky, who has other works featured in other Birds locations.
The barbershop features seven chairs and was designed by Mark Odom Studio and constructed by Franklin Alan. Like other locations, the waiting room features an arcade machine and complimentary drinks.
Appointments can be booked online or by calling the shop. 3601 William Cannon Dr. 512-795-4600. birdsbarbershop.com.
