Our Approach Getting a haircut shouldn’t be a chore. When everyone’s invited, the party’s more fun. Making people look great is a sweet job. Drama is not a job requirement. Our People Competitive pay. Health Insurance. Retirement Plan. Free haircuts, ongoing education, and promotion from within. We’re a “Top Workplace” because we put our people ahead of all else. Wear what you want and join the party. Our Neighborhood Every Birds reflects its community. Whether it’s cuts for a cause at a music festival, turning walls into free gallery space for artists or giving teachers a break at the register, we think local when it comes to giving back. Extras Last Independence Beer, arcade games and great music are just a bonus at Birds. We’ve been named eight times to Elle’s list of the 100 best salons in America and awarded Best Haircut by the Austin Chronicle every year since opening. Today, we employ more than 150 people in 9 locations across Texas.
