What we do
Fades
01Skin, low, mid, or high — blended by hand until the line disappears and the shape sits where your head actually wants it.
Haircuts
02Scissor and clipper work built around what you do with your hair on a weekday morning, not just how it looks in the chair.
Beard trims
03Shaped with shears, lined with a razor at the cheek and neck, so the edges hold their shape between visits.
Hot towel shaves
04Steamed towels, lather, and a straight razor for a close, unhurried shave that finishes with a cold towel and balm.
Kids' cuts
05Clippers, scissors, or a design worked in if that's what they're asking for — kids get their own pace in the chair.
Color & styling
06Color work and styling to finish a cut or change it up, worked in alongside the haircut rather than as an afterthought.
Not sure what to ask for? Call — we’ll talk it through.
Call to bookTalked through first
Every cut starts with a conversation about what you want before a single clipper turns on.
Checked before you leave
You see the cut in the mirror and approve it before the cape comes off.
Same barber, same record
Coming back to the same chair means your cut gets closer to right every time.
A barber pole painted right on the wall
Clutch Cuts sits behind glass block and painted plaster, tile floor underfoot and a barber pole mural you can see from the chair. It reads modern, not old-school-nostalgic — clean lines, no clutter, a room built for a haircut you actually want to look at twice. Regulars come in undecided and leave with something specific: a fade blended guard by guard, a beard line cut with a razor, a kid's design worked in because he asked for it by name. The point is the same every time — you know what you're getting before the cape comes off.
“Hands down the best shop in town! All staff are the nicest, friendliest you will meet. Hooked me up when someone else stole my deposit.”
“My son gets designs in his hair every time we come in. He specifically asks if for Marquis every time and loves coming to him”
“An absolute SUPREME visit and experience with the shortest notice on top of my own indecisiveness for my cut. Had me in the chair and well on my way to my business!”

good to know
- Do I need to book ahead?
- Booking gets you a chair without waiting around, which is the easiest way to plan your visit. Call or book online and we'll get you set up.
- Can my kid get a design cut in?
- Yes — kids come in and ask for specific designs, and we work them into the cut at their pace. Bring a picture if they have one in mind, or we'll talk it through in the chair.
- What if I don't know exactly what I want?
- That's a normal way to start. Sit down, tell us what bugs you about your current cut and what your week looks like, and we'll help you land on something that actually works.
