Butler Street · Lawrenceville · Pittsburgh · since 2011
Three chairs, three barbers: skin fades, scissor cuts, beards and hot-towel razor shaves. The line on this page is the line in the shop, so you know the wait before you leave the house.
Walk-ins, every day we’re open
Take a ticket here and wait wherever you like. We text you when you’re about fifteen minutes out, and hold the chair ten minutes once you’re called. A ticket isn’t a booking: if you want a particular barber, book them.
Demo clock: a shop minute passes every second.

Three chairs
Chair 119 years · in Tue–Sat
Skin fades, tapers, line-ups
Nineteen years on the clippers, twelve of them on Butler Street. Opened Stropwell with one borrowed chair and still takes the first walk-in of the day.
“Tell me where you part it and what you do on a Monday. I’ll do the rest.”
Chair 211 years · in Tue–Sun
Scissor work, longer hair, kids
Came over from a salon in Bloomfield and brought the scissors with him. The chair for growing it out, curls, and kids who won’t sit still.
“If you want to grow it out, sit in my chair. I’ll get you through the awkward bit.”
Chair 38 years · in Wed–Sun
Hot-towel shaves, beards, fade & shave
Learned on a straight razor before he touched clippers. Beards, hot-towel shaves and the fade-and-shave that fills his Fridays.
“Two hot towels, a sharp blade and no rush.”
