Talk to the shop

Meet your Hartford barbers.

OWNER & BARBER

Odean

Same neighborhood.
A new chapter.

Odean has spent 20 years at the shop. Before moving here, he owned a barbershop across the street for many years. The address changed. His connection to the neighborhood stayed.

The photographs he holds tell part of that story: family, the old shop, and the people and places that brought him here.

“This was my barbershop of choice as a little. After I moved away it was hard to find any other barbershop that comes close to delivering the same quality of cut. It was good going back here after so many years; my haircut is still crisp and on point.”
