Slickbacks

Classic hair, epic beards, perfect shaves, and an all-consuming passion for the craft

Our specialty is finding out what your hair and beard want to do, and cutting them that way with an eye toward the classic looks of yesteryear. This is what we do, and these are our real clients we get to make look this good. Find out how to get in the chair right HERE.


Slickbacks aren’t so much a haircut as a way of styling, with the undercut category lumped in there. We personally prefer Pompadours to actual undercuts because they retain the integrity of the crown of the head. Not cutting off the whorl on the back of the head and instead working with it grows out far more easily and requires less maintenance, but both pomps and undercuts can be styled as slickbacks, so you will see both in this collection.

True Pompadours can be left loose and unstyled for an effortless Beckham look or pomaded up tall, but for a true Slickback you want a heavier product (usually a pomade, especially oil-based), and you aren’t looking for volume in the front like you would be with a pomp. There’s a reason it’s a favorite of bikers and hard workers everywhere.
