Every cut pairs with our Men's HaircutsMen's Shear Cuts & Longer HairFades & TapersBeard Trims & Line-Ups — and finishes with a crisp razor line-up.
A skin fade (or bald fade) blends your hair down to bare skin at the sides and back, then up into length on top — the cleanest, sharpest fade there is.
A taper fade gently shortens the hair around the ears and neckline while keeping more length than a skin fade — sharp, but conservative enough for any setting.
A low fade starts the blend just above the ears, keeping most of your length and adding a clean, subtle gradient down to the neckline.
A mid fade starts the blend around the temples — right between a low and high fade — for a balanced, modern look that suits most face shapes.
A high fade blends short up near the crown for maximum contrast — a bold, clean look that puts all the attention on the style up top.
A burst fade curves the blend around the ear in a semicircle, leaving length at the back — the signature fade behind mullets, mohawks and the Edgar.
A buzz cut keeps it short and uniform all over with clippers — the lowest-maintenance, most no-nonsense cut there is, often paired with a fade and a sharp line-up.
A comb-over keeps length on top swept to one side over a defined part — a timeless, versatile style that goes from sharp-office to night-out, usually over a fade or taper.
A textured crop (or French crop) keeps a short, textured top with a blunt or fringed front over a fade — modern, low-effort, and flattering on most face shapes.
A pompadour sweeps volume up and back off the forehead for a bold, classic silhouette — sharpest over a fade or taper with tight sides.
A quiff lifts the front up and back with a softer, more textured finish than a pompadour — modern, versatile, and easy to wear.
An undercut leaves the top long while the sides and back are cut short to one length — high contrast and endlessly styleable, slicked back or loose.
A crew cut keeps it short and tapered with a touch more length at the front than a buzz — clean, classic, and almost zero styling.
A slick back combs all the length straight back for a sleek, sharp look — clean over an undercut or fade, polished with pomade.
The modern mullet is back — short and textured up top and at the sides, longer at the back, often over a burst fade. Bold, fun, and done right here.
The Edgar (or takuache) cut keeps a short, straight-across fringe up front with high, sharp sides — a bold, clean style popular across San Diego.
A faux hawk keeps length down the center and shorter sides for the shape of a mohawk without the commitment — styled up for edge, down for work.
A Caesar cut keeps a short, horizontal fringe and even length all around — a low-maintenance classic that's great for thinning hair or a no-fuss look.
A drop fade dips lower behind the ear, 'dropping' down toward the neck for a curved, modern blend that frames the head cleanly.
A men's hair salon and barbershop in one — salon-level scissor work and longer-hair styling for men who want more than a quick clipper cut. Real consultations, precision shear work and a finish that grows out clean, all for $40–$50.
A barber for men's longer hair — growing it out, shaping what you've got, or keeping it healthy and styled. We cut for length and movement, not just to take it all off.
Men's all shear cuts — your whole cut done with scissors, no clippers. For the man who doesn't want a fade and wants real shape, texture and length kept under control.
Men's scissor cuts with precision shear work on top and through the sides — texture, shape and natural movement, dialed in by hand for $40–$50.
Men's all scissor cuts — the entire cut done with scissors, top to sides, with zero clippers. Maximum length control and the softest, most natural finish we offer.
Cuts and shaping for men's shoulder-length hair — layers, face-framing and texture that keep long hair healthy, manageable and looking intentional instead of overgrown.
The flow cut you've been wanting — length and movement kept up top and around the sides, shaped with scissors so it flows back naturally. A longer, effortless men's style we dial in by hand.
The mod cut — a sharp, '60s-inspired longer style with weight, fringe and clean movement. Full on top, shaped around the ears, styled forward or to the side.
The warrior cut — long, strong and natural, with length kept full and shaped just enough to look intentional. For the man growing out a bold, masculine mane without losing all control.
The brush back — length kept on top and shaped to comb or push straight back off the face. A clean, classic-meets-modern men's look that works with or without a fade underneath.
