Our work

Haircut Gallery — Fades, Tapers and Line-Ups in Portage Park

Every photo on this page was taken in the shop at 4202 N Milwaukee Ave. Skin fades, tapers, textured crops, line-ups, kids' cuts and beard work — finished, in the chair.

Cuts from the chair

Bring a photo in if you want something close to one of these, or describe it at the chair. Walk-ins are welcome and the whole menu is available six days a week.
