Birds Barbershop is celebrating the Mon., Feb. 29, 2016 opening of its newest location on Rock Rose – the all-new, locally-focused district at Phase III of the Domain – with a family pack giveaway of four free haircuts and a Verb Products gift bag. This marks Birds Barbershop’s eighth location since its founding by co-owners Michael Portman and Jayson Rapaport ten years ago in South Austin.
Born and Raised in Austin
In 2006, childhood friends Michael Portman and Jayson Rapaport found themselves living in Austin, TX, with nowhere to get an affordable, high-quality haircut. Together, they created a salon for men and women, took out all the fuss, and added free Shiner beer to the experience. An addiction to old school arcade games developed.
Since first opening its doors, Birds Barbershop has been named six consecutive times to ELLE Magazine’s list of the 100 best salons in America and by the Austin Chronicle as Best Haircut every year since opening. Austin Chronicle readers have also voted Birds Barbershop Best Haircut for Kids, for eight years running!
Birds Lands on Rock Rose
Located on a new street among upscale establishments, the Birds’ design team set out to create a shop that felt dressed up, yet characteristically relaxed.
The “Putt-Putt meets Country Club” theme was a collaboration of like-minded enthusiasts of all things Palm Springs, preppy and racquet sports, located at the 19th hole of the Beverly Hills Hotel, if such a place existed.
Phillip Niemeyer of Northern Southern gallery in north Austin oversaw art implementation. Mark Odom Studio oversaw architecture and Joel Mozersky godfathered design, as he has every Birds since the first shop opened on South Lamar Blvd. in May 2006.
