Frequently Asked

Saturday mornings (8–11 AM), weekday lunch hour (12–1 PM), and right after schools let out (3:30–5 PM weekdays). Quietest stretches: Tuesday and Wednesday mornings right after open, and the last hour before close most weekdays.

Both work. Walk in any time during business hours and we'll seat you with the first available barber. If you'd rather lock in a specific chair, book online through Square Appointments. No app download required either way.

Yes. Most of the team has their own Square calendar. Find their page under Barbers and click 'Book with [Name]' to go straight to their availability. A few barbers don't keep a personal calendar; for those, book the shop's general calendar or walk in and ask for them.

No. Walk in, sit down, get cut, pay, leave. Same way it's worked since 1969. If you prefer to reserve a chair, our online booking through Square works in any browser. No app, no account required.

Walk-in pricing: $26 men's haircut, $24 beard trim, $38 haircut + beard, $37 hot straight-razor shave, +$6 to add a straight-razor neck finish to any cut. Reserved online appointments are a few dollars more ($34 cut, $29 beard, $47 combo, $40 shave) since you're holding the chair.

When you book online, you're holding the chair. That chair stays empty until you arrive. Walk-ins fill those gaps and keep all nine barbers cutting. The price reflects that. Same haircut, same barbers either way.

About 25–35 minutes for a haircut, 40–50 for a cut + beard, and 35–45 for a full hot straight-razor shave. Add 15 minutes if it's a Saturday morning and the place is humming. That's when we're at our busiest.

Yes. The traditional way: hot lather, hot towel, real straight razor. $37 for a full shave, or +$6 to add a straight-razor neck finish to any haircut. Will Dillon is our straight-razor specialist, but every master barber on the team can do it.

Yes. Beard trim only is $24 walk-in, $29 with an online appointment. Comb, scissor, and clipper work. Clean line, no theatrics. Add a straight-razor neck or cheek line for $6.

A taper is a gentle, gradual blend from longer hair at the top to shorter at the bottom, usually staying within #2 to #1 guard range at the lowest. A fade goes shorter, down to a #0.5, #0 (skin), or true bald skin at the bottom. Fades are more dramatic; tapers are more conservative. Most of our team specializes in both.

Yes. Kids' cuts are part of what we do. A lot of our adult customers got their first cut here as kids. Some are bringing their own kids in now. Bring them in, walk-in or book.

Lot out front of the building, plus street parking along Royalton Rd. Wheelchair-accessible spaces by the main entrance. You won't have to hunt for a spot. It's a Strongsville commercial corridor, not downtown Cleveland.

17100 Royalton Rd, Strongsville, OH 44136. Nestled next to Triv's and two doors down from The Great Escape. Plenty of parking out front. Wheelchair-accessible entrance off the main lot.

Since 1969. Carl Seidel and Dan Skop opened the shop at 17100 Royalton Rd before Neil Armstrong walked on the moon. Jim Tortorici carried it forward through the next chapter, and Matt McKenzie and Hank Jontony own and operate it today. Fifty-six years, same building, same chairs.

Both. We run Square at every chair. Cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay all work. Cash is welcome too, especially for tips.
