Questions

Before you book, the details.

We hold two walk-in slots per barber each day, released at 9:00. Everything else is by appointment so nobody sits in the waiting area.

Weekdays usually open within 48 hours. Saturdays book out 10–14 days, so standing appointments are worth setting up.

Free up to 12 hours before your slot. Inside 12 hours we charge 50% of the service, since the chair usually can't be refilled.

Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay and cash. Tips can be added on the terminal or in the booking confirmation.

Metered street parking on SW Alder, plus the Stark Street garage one block east — first hour validated with any service.

One chair, one hour, no compromise.
