Four core services, three add-ons, one philosophy: enough time to do it properly. No tip jar at the door — gratuity goes directly to your barber.
If it's your first time, here's how the ninety minutes go. We've been doing this since 2017 and the rhythm doesn't change.
The shop is on the second floor — buzzer marked YB. We'll greet you, hang your jacket, and pour your drink before you sit down.
Your barber will ask how you part your hair, what you actually do with it in the morning, and what you want to walk out looking like. Bring a photo if you have one.
Wash, cut, hot-towel finish, and a styling that you can recreate at home. We'll explain what we're using as we go, so you can buy the same product or not.
Most of our clients rebook on the spot for four weeks out. We'll text a reminder forty-eight hours before. Cancellations within 24 hours are charged 50%.
Rarely. We hold one or two slots a day for walk-ins when we can, but the honest answer is no — we book by appointment because we don't want to rush. Call us at (617) 555-0142 if you're in the neighborhood and we'll tell you if there's an opening.
Cancel or reschedule with 24 hours of notice, no charge. Inside 24 hours, we charge 50% of the service. No-shows are charged in full. We hold appointments with a card on file but don't run it unless we have to.
Yes — boys ages 5 and up, ideally booked alongside a parent under our Father & Son slot. Younger than 5 is a big ask in a barber chair; we'll happily refer you to a kids' shop in the area.
Of course. Or cash. Or Venmo direct to your barber — they'll have a QR code at the chair. There's no tip jar at the front desk; gratuity goes 100% to the barber, never the shop.
The pomades, beard oils, and shaving creams we use are stocked at the front counter. We don't push them — but if you walked out liking the way your hair sat, the pomade is $26 and lasts about three months.
Yes. The Package ($130) is our most-given gift. Buy one at the shop or by phone at (617) 555-0142 — we'll mail a hand-stamped envelope to whatever address you give us.
