Meet Your Barbers

— pg. 3, the whole staff fits on one page

Takes his time on every single cut — you're not on a conveyor belt here. Regulars say he remembers your cut (and your kid's name) months later.

Julia layers & bangs specialist

The one customers trust with long, thick hair. Layering, bangs, women's cuts — show her a photo and she gets it right.

All Ages kids actually ask to come back

First cuts, school cuts, "make me look like dad" cuts. Kids 12 & under are $20, patience included free.
