Seven barbers, seven chairs

Every barber here has their own chair, their own hands and their own regulars. Ask for yours by name when you call, or take the first chair that opens up.

03What we do

Cut the way you actually want it

Tell your barber what you are after, or show them a picture — that is how it works here. Ask about pricing when you call, since it depends on the cut and the barber.

Fades

Skin fades, low fades, mid and high — blended clean, every time.

Taper fades

Soft taper around the neck and sideburns, hair left on top.

Line-ups

Sharp front hairline and edges, to keep a fresh cut looking fresh.

Beard shaping

Beards and goatees shaped, trimmed and edged to the jawline.

Kids' cuts

Young clients welcome — patience included, no charge for wriggling.

Walk-ins

No appointment needed, ever. Seven days a week, including Sunday.
