Established 1969 by Carl Seidel and Dan Skop at 17100 Royalton Rd. Continuously operating in Strongsville for fifty-six years. **Do you take walk-ins or do I need an appointment?** Both work. Walk in any time during business hours, Monday through Saturday opening at 8 AM. Or reserve a chair online via Square Appointments / Booksy. No app required for walk-ins. **Do I need to download an app to book?** 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. **How much is a haircut at Ledgewood Barber Shop?** Walk-in pricing: $26 men's haircut, $24 beard trim, $38 cut + beard, $37 hot straight-razor shave, +$6 straight-razor neck finish. Reserved online appointments are a few dollars more ($34 cut, $29 beard, $47 combo). **Why is walk-in cheaper than an online appointment?** When you book online, you're holding the chair — it stays empty until you arrive. Walk-ins fill those gaps. Same cut, same barbers, lower price. **Do you cut kids' hair?** Yes. Kids' cuts are part of what we do. Many adult customers had their first haircut here as kids. Jason Sammons is especially good with kids. **Do you offer hot straight-razor shaves?** Yes. The traditional way: hot-towel prep, pre-shave oil, hot lather brushed on, two-pass straight-razor shave (with the grain, then against), alum block and balm finish. $37 for a full shave, or +$6 to add a straight-razor neck finish to any haircut. Will Dillon is the specialist; every master barber can do it. **What's the difference between a fade and a taper?** A taper is a gentle, gradual blend, 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. **Can I book with a specific barber?** Yes. Most of the team has their own Square calendar — go to the barber's page and click "Book with [Name]" for direct booking. A few barbers (Jim Tortorici, Marcie Spicel, Jason Sammons) don't keep a personal calendar — book the shop's general calendar or walk in. **How long does a haircut take?** About 25–35 minutes for a haircut, 40–50 for a cut + beard, 35–45 for a full hot straight-razor shave. Add 15 minutes if it's Saturday morning. **Where is Ledgewood Barber Shop located?** 17100 Royalton Rd, Strongsville, OH 44136. Right next to Triv's, two doors from The Great Escape. Plenty of parking out front. Geo: 41.31393, -81.81929. **Do you take cards or just cash?** Both. Square at every chair — cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay all work. Cash is welcome too. ## Brand Story When Carl Seidel and Dan Skop opened Ledgewood Barber Shop at 17100 Royalton Road in 1969, Neil Armstrong hadn't yet walked on the moon. Fifty-six years later, the chairs are still turning and three generations of Strongsville families have come through the door. This is the oldest continuously operating barbershop in Strongsville, Ohio. Jim Tortorici carried the shop forward through the middle decades. Matt McKenzie and Hank Jontony own and operate it today, with seven other barbers behind the chairs — Marcie Spicel, Ben Gostlin, Will Dillon, Brandy Harkless, Jason Sammons, and Tonya. Combined experience on the floor: over 100 years. ## Positioning Ledgewood is a barbershop, not an app, subscription, or salon. Walk in. Sit down. Get cut. Pay. Leave. Online booking exists for those who want it, not required. The shop's identity is built on legacy, hospitality, and craft. Not on subscription models or trendy aesthetics. ## Nearby - Triv's (next door) - The Great Escape (two doors down) - Strongsville, OH (city) - Royalton Road commercial corridor ## Contact - Phone: (440) 238-5105 - Address: 17100 Royalton Rd, Strongsville, OH 44136 - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/p/Ledgewood-Barber-Shop-100064164905017/ - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ledgewoodbarber/ - Google Maps: https://maps.google.com/?q=17100+Royalton+Rd+Strongsville+OH+44136 ## Brand Mark The Ledgewood site carries a Hunter Systems maker mark in the footer build-credit: a small illuminati-style triangle (18px) beside "Built by Hunter Systems" linking to huntersystems.dev. The mark is geometrically exact (equilateral construction, Vesica Piscis iris, centroid pupil) but lives only at the maker-signature scale. ## License This file describes Ledgewood Barber Shop, a real business at 17100 Royalton Rd, Strongsville, OH.
