I The craft
Six services. No mystery about any of them.
Here is exactly what happens in the chair, what it costs, and who each service is actually for. If you're not sure which one you want, call and describe your hair — we'll tell you.
I $42
45 minutes in the chair
The Classic Cut
Scissor-and-clipper work, cut wet, checked dry. It starts with a real consultation — how you wear it, how much time you'll give it in the morning, and where your hair is going to argue with you.
What's included
- Consultation: growth patterns, cowlicks, and how it dries
- Cut wet, cross-checked dry so nothing hides
- Hot towel across the neck and shoulders
- Straight-razor neck and outline finish
- Style with the product that suits your hair, not the one we're selling
When you want it
You want a haircut that still looks like a haircut in week four, and you're tired of describing the same thing to a new person every time.
II $45
45 minutes in the chair
The Skin Fade
Bald at the bottom, blended to whatever length you want on top, with no visible line anywhere in the gradient. It's the most technical thing we do and the easiest to get wrong.
What's included
- Your call on the height: low, mid, high, or drop
- Blended through four to six guard steps, then flicked out by hand
- Foil-shaved at the base for a true skin finish
- Razor line-up at the temples, front and neck
- Two-week touch-up on the edges for $18 whenever you want it
When you want it
You wear it tight and you notice when it isn't right. Also the booking to make in the week before a wedding, a graduation, or the photos.
III $52
45 minutes in the chair
The Hot-Towel Shave
Forty-five minutes, three towels, and a hollow-ground straight razor honed on a Belgian coticule. This is the service people book once out of curiosity and then put in the calendar monthly.
What's included
- Pre-shave oil worked in, then the first hot towel
- Lather built in a scuttle and laid on with a badger brush
- First pass with the grain, second across it
- Second towel, re-lather, and the finish pass
- Cold towel to close the skin, then alum and an unscented balm
When you want it
Before something that matters. Or for the forty-five minutes of not being reachable — which is, honestly, what most of our shave regulars come for.
IV $32
30 minutes in the chair
Beard Sculpting
A beard is a shape, not a length setting. We cut the cheek line to your bone structure and the neck line to where your jaw actually is — which is almost never where people put it themselves.
What's included
- Shape mapped to your jaw, cheekbones and neck
- Trimmed with scissors over comb where it needs the control
- Cheek and neck lines cut clean with the straight razor
- Moustache shaped and the lip line cleared
- Beard oil worked through and combed out
When you want it
Your beard is fine at the front and a mess at the sides, or the neck line has crept up and you can't tell where it should sit. Add the hot towel for $14 more.
V $28
30 minutes in the chair
Kids' Cuts — The Heir
Thirty minutes for a fifteen-minute haircut, on purpose. Little ones get a booster step, a look at the clippers before they come near, and a barber who will stop the second it stops being fun.
What's included
- Booster step so they can see themselves work
- Clippers introduced on the hand first — no surprises
- Scissors-only if the noise is the problem
- A drawer of comics for the wait
- Twelve and under; a Father & Son pair is $62 for both chairs
When you want it
First haircut, school photos, or the fourth month of a fringe they can't see past. We are not precious about a cut that has to happen in three sittings.
VI $18
15 minutes in the chair
The Fifteen-Minute Tidy
Two weeks out from a cut, the edges go soft long before the length does. This is the walk-in that fixes it: neck, outline, and the beard line if you want it.
What's included
- Neck line reset with the razor
- Temples and front outline sharpened
- Beard cheek line cleaned up on request
- Hot towel to finish
- Walk-in only — no appointment needed, no chair charge
When you want it
Something came up and your haircut is a week older than you'd like. Come in, sit down, be out in a quarter of an hour.
VII Every chair, every time
Four things you get whatever you book
01
Consultation first
Every chair starts with questions. If we think what you're asking for won't suit you, we'll say so — and then cut what you asked for anyway.
02
Hot towel, always
Not an upsell, not a tier. It's the end of every cut and every shave in this shop.
03
Straight-razor finish
Necks and outlines are razor-cut, not clipper-cut. It's why the edges hold for a fortnight.
04
Seven-day fix
Something not sitting right once you've washed it? Come back inside a week and we'll put it right at no charge.
Still not sure? Ring the shop on (503) 555-0142 and describe what you've got. It takes two minutes and we've never minded the call.
