Cuts.
Shaves.
No fuss.
Four chairs, three barbers, and a radio that only plays one station. We have been cutting hair on this corner for seventy-four years — walk in, sit down, leave looking better.
Walk-ins first

Who's cutting
Omar Delgado
Barber · Chair two
Fourteen years in the shop. Fastest straight shave on the street and the only one allowed to touch Frank's eyebrows.
June Whitaker
Barber · Chair three
Trained downtown, came here for the quiet. Best scissor cut in the shop — book her two weeks out if you can.
The shop
Four chairs since 1952
The linoleum is original. So is the radio. What is not original: the disinfection protocol, the blades, and the fact that every barber here is licensed, insured, and has been behind a chair for at least a decade.
- Single-use combs and blades, every client
- Hot lather and fresh towels with every shave
- Cash, card, and checks made out to the shop
- Parking behind the building, off Mercer Alley
