Welcome Home, Nerds
You know Scott. He’s the plaid-bedecked fellow with the jaunty mustache and googly laugh that had been loitering around our shop for the last few years, landing the double (and triple) entendres, and cutting hair sometimes. And now lookit that, he’s all grown up with a shop of his own.

You would think that barbers would be a competitive bunch. A bunch of testosterone and sharp things do not usually make for friendly congeniality. But these Brothers and Sisters of the Smock know that there are plenty of heads for everyone, and thus we never hesitate to sing the praises of like-minded barbers and shops in the industry.
It is with that sense of community in mind and heart that we want to put together the definitive listing of barbers and barbershops where you can get a stellar haircut, shave, and beard work, excellent knowledge of traditional barber techniques, and a slight deficit of what one might call “appropriate” language and behavior.
Below are our favorite shops where we personally know the work and reputation of the barbers, but if you are a barber or have a shop that you would like included in our upcoming listing page, just send us your information at the bottom of this post!
