The barber
One barber, one chair
The same barber cuts every visit, so you never explain your hair twice.
Works Monday to Saturday. Lead style: skin fades and clean lineups. Speaks English and Tagalog.
Before you book
What does the barber need at my place?
A solid chair, good light and an outlet within reach. The barber brings the cape, the tools and a folding chair if you need one, and sweeps up before leaving.
Can I book a group?
Yes. Offices, parties and events book as group days, with a quote agreed before the date. See the group page for how a day runs.
Do you take walk-ins?
No. Every visit is by appointment, so the barber knows where to be and when.
What if my street is not on the route?
Send a note with your ZIP code. Some stops can be added to a day when the barber is already nearby.
Planning an office day or an event?
Tell us the date, the place and how many people, and we will quote the day.
