Additionally, the company facilitates further education for their stylists by pairing them with top industry educators.
Services Offered

There are two barbers at The Barber Shop, Richard and Aaron (Aaron also acts as a studio stylist), who offer impeccable services. In addition to offering services most typical for barbershops such as a grooming cut, beard detailing, a razor shave, and a men’s color rebalancing, there are also other services offered which are sure to make you feel more confident! Some of these services include:
- Scalp Detox Treatment: The professional staff will work hard to remove any material or build-up that might be clogging the pores of your scalp.
- Line Up Detail: Further outfit your haircut with some final details done with a straight razor or trimmer and your choice of facial balm or oil.
- Men’s Skin Care Treatment: This treatment will help reawaken the youth in your skin by making your complexion smoother and brighter, and it will leave your skin feeling much better.
- Hand Detailing: Sometimes an overlooked part of the body in men, this service includes a hand massage, filing and clipping of nails, and the reduction of excess cuticles.
- Men’s Waxing: Sometimes a trim isn’t enough! As such, the shop also offers waxing for ears, brows, cheeks, and the nose.
