The cuts

Sharp fades, clean lines, every cut

From a quick lineup to a full cut and hot towel shave, here is what we do best.

Precision Haircut

A classic or modern cut shaped to your head, your hair, and the look you actually want. Clean every time.

Skin Fade

The house specialty. Seamless blends from skin to length with sharp, deliberate edges, dialed in by hand.

Beard Trim and Shape

Expert beard work tailored to your face. Lined up, sculpted, and finished so your beard frames the cut.

Hot Towel Straight Razor Shave

A traditional straight razor shave with a hot towel. Close, smooth, and worth slowing down for.

Lineup and Edge-Up

Crisp lines on the hairline and edges to keep last week's cut looking like it just happened.

Kids Cut

Patient, friendly cuts for the young ones, with the same attention to detail the regulars come back for.

I had an amazing experience with Shubham! He is extremely talented, professional, and detail-oriented. He understood exactly what kind of haircut I wanted and delivered even better than my expectations.
