Our story

A neighborhood institution

Best of Austin2019Critics
“Every neighborhood needs a good barbershop, and Original Walker's provides the quality cuts and lively atmosphere that make for a truly great shop. All of the barbers are excellent at their craft, and they all help make Ray Walker's shop a place that could become an institution.”The Austin Chronicle

Ray Walker picked up the clippers in 2012 and built Original Walker's on word of mouth. Some clients have sat in his chair for more than ten years. Others followed their barber here from across town.
