THE JOURNEY OF OLDE SOUL
Olde Soul began as a men’s barbershop in Austin, Texas, opening its first location in early 2019 with a simple dream: to create a modern barber and retail front offering high-quality services and grooming products.
When COVID-19 struck, everything changed for Olde Soul Barbershop. The global pandemic forced us to rethink what it meant to be a small business, how to serve our community, and how to support other small businesses. In response, we started producing locally-designed shirts for our barber clients, which sparked a new idea.
With the incredible support of the Austin community, we were inspired to create something meaningful beyond the walls of our shop. We launched an online marketplace to connect creatives and their unique products with shoppers eager to support small businesses.
Thus, Olde Soul was born.

Across our four Austin locations – East Six, South Lamar, Mueller, and Southpark Meadows – we blend modern techniques with traditional values, inspired by our motto, "Modern Feel With An Olde Soul."
