Union Chair

Barbershop · Cuts, fades & beard work

A barber in a light blue shirt trimming the top of a bearded client's hair, the client wrapped in a striped cape in a chrome barber chair.

One chair, one client, no rush.

Every appointment starts with a short conversation about how you wear your hair and how often you come in. From there it's clippers, scissors and a straight-razor neck finish, at a pace that leaves room to get it right.

Walk-ins are welcome when a chair is open. A requested time is the more reliable way in.

The chair

A barber in a plaid shirt running clippers along the side of a smiling client's head; the client has a short beard and a gray cape.
Clipper work on the sides, checked against the mirror before blending.
  1. Talk first

    How short, how often you visit, what grows out awkwardly.

  2. Shape

    Bulk off with clippers or scissors, then the fade or taper.

  3. Detail

    Line-up, ears and neck with a straight razor and warm lather.

  4. Finish

    Rinse if you want it, product only if you ask for it.

First visit

Bring a photo

A picture of a cut you like, or one you didn't, is the fastest way to agree on length.

Arrive a few minutes early

Example policy: each booking holds the full service time listed on the menu, plus a short gap before the next client. If you're running more than 10 minutes late, the shop may suggest a new time rather than rush the cut.

Changing plans

Example policy: let the shop know a few hours ahead so someone else can take the chair.
