Barber studio in East Austin
Get the cut you actually asked for
Ember & Blade is a six chair barber studio on Grove Street. Cuts, beards, and hot towel shaves done right, with a wash and a drink on the house. Walk in or book your chair below.
The short version
More than a haircut. It's your hour off.
Most shops rush you out of the chair. We don't. Every cut here comes with a proper wash, a hot towel finish, and a barber who remembers how you like it the next time you walk in. That's the whole secret, and our regulars have been on board since 2017.
The floor stays easygoing and the coffee stays hot. Come in with a photo, a vague idea, or nothing at all. Your barber will talk it through before a single tool comes out.

What the chair sounds like
Pulled straight from our Google page, names shortened, nothing else touched.
“Been seeing Dez for two years now. He remembers how I like my fade every single time, so I just sit down and let him work. Never had to explain it twice.”
Marcus T.Regular since 2023“Took my boy in for his first proper cut. They were patient with him the whole way through and sent him home with a sticker. He asks about the shop weekly.”
Devon R.Kids cut parent“The hot towel shave is worth every dollar. James took his time and my skin stayed calm for days after. I booked my next one before I left the chair.”
