What we do
Fades
01Skin, low, mid or high, blended by hand guard by guard until the line disappears into the cut.
Haircuts
02Scissor and clipper work to a length that still looks right three weeks from now, not just walking out the door.
Beard trims
03Shaped with shears and clippers, cheek and neck lines cleaned up with a razor for a crisp finish.
Hot towel shaves
04Steamed towels, a proper lather, and a razor shave finished with a cold towel to close things back up.
Kids' cuts
05Clipper and scissor cuts for younger guys, worked at their pace in the same chairs as everyone else.
Color & styling
06Gray blending and styling work for guys who want a change without a hard reset on the whole look.

You see the cut at each stage before the cape comes off, not just at the end.
The same barber, every visit
Book with the person who cut it last time, so 'the usual' actually means something.
Built to grow out right
Cuts and fades are shaped to still hold their line weeks later, not just on the way out the door.
A shop built around the chair, not the waiting room
Tierra Barber and Shave keeps things simple: black leather chairs, dark walls, wood-look floors, and barbers who work one head at a time. There's no rush built into the room and none built into the cut. Regulars come back because the fade they got last time is the fade they get again, and a good conversation with your barber matters as much as the clippers. Whether you're in for a quick trim or the full hot towel treatment, the shop runs on attention, not volume.

good to know
- Do I need to book ahead, or can I walk in?
- Booking gets you into a specific barber's chair without guessing at timing. If you walk in, we'll fit you in as chairs open up — either way, calling ahead is the easiest way to land with the barber you want.
- How do I ask for the right fade?
- You don't need the exact term. Tell your barber how short you want the sides, how much length you want up top, and how it fits your daily routine — the rest is worked out in the chair, guard by guard, checked in the mirror.
- Do you do straight-razor shaves?
- Yes — the hot towel shave includes steamed towels, a lather, and a straight razor worked with the grain, finished with a cold towel. It's a slower service built for a proper close shave.
