Classic cuts. Hot towels. Done right.

Haircuts finished with a hot towel and a straight-razor neck shave, by Cal Mercer, on Copper Street in old downtown Anytown.

The cut

The classic cut, start to finish.

There’s one service on the books, so all the care goes into it. Here’s what happens in Cal’s chair.

  1. An empty classic barber chair in warm afternoon light

    Take a seat.

    Tell Cal what you’re after, or what isn’t working. You talk it through before the cape goes on.

  2. Shears, a comb, clippers and a neck brush on a walnut counter

    The cut.

    Clippers and shears, tapered and blended to suit your hair, whether it’s straight, curly or coarse.

  3. Steam rising off a hot towel fresh from the warmer

    The hot towel.

    A steaming towel at the nape softens the skin and gets it ready for the razor.

  4. A straight razor cleaning up the neckline after a fresh cut

    The straight razor.

    A clean straight-razor line at the back of the neck to finish it off.

  • 30-minute appointments.

    Every slot is a full half hour, easy to fit around class or work.

  • Beard touch-up.

    Ask for a quick beard tidy if there’s time in your slot.

  • Bring the family.

    Book back-to-back slots, one each, so everyone’s done in one trip.

  • Discounts.

    Kids under 12 are $22. Students, seniors and veterans get $5 off.

A classic cut is $32. The hot towel and straight-razor finish are included.

Your barber

Meet Cal.

A straight razor, shaving brush and warm lather on a walnut barber station

Cal Mercer owns the shop and works the chair. He learned the trade with clippers in one hand and a straight razor in the other, and he still finishes every cut the old way.

The shop sits in an old brick storefront on Copper Street: one chair, good light, and a towel warmer that never cools down.
