FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Since there is a very wide variety of hair styles, beards, and hair types, all of which change the duration of the session and require different skill levels, we can’t display one-size-fits-all pricing.
However, our customer reviews indicate we have the skills for any haircut or shave and we are constantly researching the area to keep pricing competitive with other shops.
Also, follow us on social media for occasional deals and discounts.
Mention the code “website discount” to get $5 off a haircut or shave on Wednesdays.
Also ask about our specials for teachers, veterans, and first responders.
Yes! We do haircuts for men of all ethnicities and short pixie cuts for women.
We tend to get this question frequently from African Americans because in general they do have a different hair type which requires a different skill level to cut. But that’s no problem.
You’re going to look good no matter what your hair type or ethnicity is.
We are not a salon; we’re a barber shop, which means we generally do haircuts and shaves for men. But we can do short pixie cuts for women.
Traditionally a barbershop offers grooming services for men and a salon offers grooming services for women, but neither is necessarily limited to one gender or the other. Further distinction is in the actual services that are provided.
As a barbershop we do hair cuts and shaves for men, but we can also do short pixie cuts for women.
If you’re looking for long haircuts, pedicures, manicures, facials, and additional services then it’s best to find a local salon.
Most hair cuts take between 30-45 minutes to complete, but some could take longer if they are more elaborate or if you’re particular hair type is harder to cut. New customers can take longer than return customers since the barber is still getting to know you; but if you become regular and you get the same haircut each time then it will go faster.
Clear communication is key to getting the cut you want, but often there can be miscommunication which would make the hair cut take longer. For example, if a customer comes in and asks for a fade on the sides with a clipper guard size 3, then the barber will cut it with a size 3. Yet, often the customer says it’s not short enough; so then it’s done again with the shorter guard. Of course doing it twice takes longer than doing it once.
We can do any type of hair cut which you might find in photos, but there are many factors that will determine whether your finished cut will look the same as the one in the photo. For instance head shape and hair type could ultimately make the finished cut look different even if the barber cuts it exactly as indicated in the photo.
See tips for communicating with the barber in our Hair & Beard Guide.
Walk-ins are always welcome, although we can’t guarantee a minimum wait time if there is high volume. The best chance of getting in without a wait is to schedule an appointment in advance. Booking is available online but if it’s a same-day appointment then please call.
Same-day booking is disabled on our website so to avoid double bookings with walk-ins or those who call. Walk-ins are welcome but it is best to call for same-day appointments.
The next most likely reason that you’re not able to book online is that we are not available for the date or time.
If it is clearly a time slot where we are supposed to be available, it has not been reserved and it is not a same-day appointment then contact us to let us know the issue and we’ll send it to our webmaster promptly.
Like many other service industries a tip is appropriate but not required. We understand that customers can come from many different backgrounds or ways of life.
Standard tips range between $2-$5, but if you’re particularly pleased with your haircut then $7-$12 is more generous.
Yes, contact us for more information. Chairs come with a free booking calendar on our website.
