Cuts

Architectural haircuts tailored to your face, your hair pattern, and the man you're becoming.

Fades

Skin to scissor. Blended to the millimeter by hands that have done it ten thousand times.

Shaves

Hot towel. Straight razor. Glass-smooth finish. The ritual every man deserves to know.

THE PHILOSOPHY
For the men who take care of everything. Here, we take care of you.

We built The Upper Seat for every man who ever carried something heavy without anyone noticing. For the 19-year-old figuring out who he is. For the 35-year-old who built something but lost himself along the way. For the father who gives everything and forgets to give something to himself.
