First visit Hot towel finish on the house

Sharp cuts. Close shaves. No rush.

4.9 from 600+ reviews

A classic neighborhood barbershop. Skin fades, scissor work, and hot towel shaves from barbers who still take the time to get it right.

The last of the proper barbershops.

No loud music, no production line. Just a barber, a chair, and forty-five minutes of undivided attention. Walk in with a photo or no idea at all — we will get you there.

“The best barber in town for my money. Professional, unhurried, and the fade lasts.”

Same chairs. Same standards.

We opened with two chairs and a promise: nobody leaves until the cut is right. The chairs got a little older, the team got a little bigger, and the promise never changed.

Our story

  • Best fade I've had in this city, and nobody rushed me out of the chair. I've been back every three weeks since.

    Jordan Ellis Regular since 2019
  • Booked the hot towel shave before my wedding. Walt took his time, talked me through every pass, and I walked out ten years younger.

  • They cut my son's hair with the same care as mine. Good music, good coffee, and the kind of place you actually want to wait in.

Book ahead to guarantee your time, or walk in and grab a coffee while you wait. There is always a fresh pot and something good on the record player.
