We would rather
get it right than
get you out.

The shop opened on Leland with three chairs and no front desk, and that has not changed. The same barbers are here every week, so after a couple of visits nobody has to ask you how you want it.

Bring a photo if you have one. If you do not, we will talk it through before anything gets cut, and we will tell you honestly if it is not going to sit the way you want.

Every cut starts with a conversation, not the clippers.

The room
you sit in
matters.

Warm light, records on, and enough space between the chairs that you are not listening to somebody else's appointment.

Recent work

Hover a photo, or use the switch, to see how it came out.

A client before his cut, hair grown out over the ears and a heavy beard. The same client after a textured crop with a mid fade and a shaped beard.

Textured crop, mid fade

Grown out and heavy on top. Kept the texture, took the weight off the sides, squared the beard.

A client before his cut, curls grown long and uneven with an untrimmed beard. The same client after a curly top with a skin fade and a tightened beard line.

Curly top, skin fade

Curls left long enough to still move. Skin fade through the sides and a clean line on the beard.

Cash and card are both fine. Kids under ten are $18.
