The tragic truth facing metalheads is that they must cut their hair eventually. This prevents the hair from gaining sentience, insisting on playing in your band, and ultimately leaving to start a solo career. Keep your rockstar 'do in check with today’s Groupon: $20 gets you $40 worth of services at Austin's hippest, friendliest little salon, Birds Barbershop. Hairstyles may have indelibly changed with the advent of rock, but that doesn't mean that post-Beatles rockers don't need a place to commiserate, discuss the news of the day, and unwind. Birds Barbershop bridges the generational hair gap, uniting the friendliness of a barbershop, stylists who understand the value of a rock mop, and sweet poster art all under one disco ball.

At Birds, haircuts—be they mohawk, buzzcut, shortcut, ladybird, kidcut or rockstar—range from $15 to $25, so apply the remainder of the deal to other services such as color during your visit or get a second men's cut later (Birds will give you a store credit for your Groupon’s unused value).

Note: Deal valid at East 6th Street location only. Walk-ins are welcome, but we recommend scheduling ahead.

• ...this is a pretty hip little place down south...the guy cutting the man's hair was good. The style turned out gooood. I like, I like aLOT! – Renee J.
• I appreciated the great conversation, attention to detail, and ultimately, the resulting cut. I enjoyed this place so much that I anticipate returning for my next cut in just about a week or so. – Ryan A.
• She managed to perform a minor miracle and I walked out of there with an amazing bob. Considering my instructions were 'It used to be super short... and then I grew it out. I'm trying to get rid of this thing in the front...' I was rather impressed. – Christine T.
