Uptown

Open Monday to Saturday! A classic barber shop experience. Experts in traditional practice and hot towel shaves. Our OG location and flagship store, come see where the mayhem began. Craft beer, bad jokes, and an out of tune piano make this shop go round.

Midtown

Open Monday to Saturday! A true classic barber shop experience. Experts in traditional practice and hot towel shaves. Records spinning, craft beer, and 80's nudie mags make this shop feel like a step back in time. Fair warning: we don't hold back on humor here.

Been coming to History Barbershop since day one. Never disappointed. Great service, solid team, and always leave with a cut I’m happy with.

Been coming to History Barbershop for years. Always leave with a clean cut and sharp beard. The fish doorbell channel has been a fun new addition during the wait.

Always get the best fades at History Barbershop. From long styles to tight mid-fades, the cuts are always on point. The neck shave is a great touch.

Are Kids welcome?

Of course! We are a family business, and will always welcome any child who can sit by themselves, and listen well to their barber. We do our best with fidgeting kiddos, and will make every effort to safety complete the haircut, however, if it becomes unsafe for the barber or the child, we will ask for parents guidance. In the event that we cannot complete the haircut, you will not be charged. We want everyone to enjoy their service, and if anyone is upset, or the child is reluctant, we stop the service, and ask you rebook at another time.
