CHAIRS 01–04 Five years minimum behind this counter

YOU DON'T BOOK A SHOP. BOOK A GUY.

A Kingsmen barber taking a skin fade tight against the side of a client's head with clippers

Everybody here charges the same thirty-five dollars. What changes chair to chair is the hands. Pick a name, ask for it at the door, and we'll put you on his list.

— The chairmen

Four barbers.
Four sets of hands.

Every one of them has been at this counter five years or more. They know your hair, your father's hair, and which chair you sat in last time.

CHAIR 01SINCE 2014

Marcus Bell

OwnerTaper · skin fade

Opened the shop. Cuts a classic taper better than anybody in the building: scissor over comb up top, clipper work tight and low. If you're going gray and want it blended rather than covered up, sit with Marcus.

Book Marcus

CHAIR 02SINCE 2016

Ray Ortiz

MasterSkin fade · line work

Fastest hands in the shop and the reason a lot of people drive in. Bald fades taken down to skin, hard line-ups, freehand parts. He'll blend a fade so clean you can't find where it starts.

Book Ray

CHAIR 03SINCE 2018

A tattooed barber at the chair at Kingsmen

Omar Khalil

MasterStraight razor · beard

The razor man. Two-pass hot-towel shaves, beard sculpting with a hard line, neck cleanups that hold two weeks. Sensitive skin, ingrown hairs, patchy growth. Ask him before you ask anyone.

Book Omar

CHAIR 04SINCE 2019

Dean Walker

SeniorScissor cut · kids

Scissor work, longer hair, and nearly every kid who comes through the door. Patient with a first cut, quick with a squirmy four-year-old, and he'll cut around a cowlick instead of fighting it.

Book Dean

01— ask for a name at the door

The Kingsmen shop floor with four stations and the waiting bench by the window

— Picking one

Ask for an artist by name.

Clients follow barbers. That's the whole business. A man who has had Ray cut him for six years is not going to be happy in Dean's chair, and Dean would tell you the same thing.

So when your name goes on the list, put a second name next to it. Requesting costs nothing and it doesn't drop you down the queue. It just means we skip you when the wrong chair opens and take you when the right one does. On a Tuesday that's a five-minute difference. On a Saturday afternoon it can be forty.

First time in and you don't have a guy yet? Say next available. Whoever opens up first will cut you. If you like how it came out, get his name before you walk out the door. That is how every regular in here ended up with a barber.

— Requesting

Three lines on asking for your guy.

It's simpler than the booking apps make it look.

Requesting is free

No surcharge, no premium chair, no separate price list. Marcus owns the building and charges the same thirty-five dollars as everyone else. What you pay depends on the cut, never on the barber.

If your guy is off

We tell you at the door, not after you've sat twenty minutes. Days are posted above the register and listed at the top of this page. If you'd rather come back Thursday, come back Thursday. Nobody takes it personally.

Standing appointments

Regulars on a two- or three-week cycle can hold the same slot with the same barber. Ask him directly while you're in the chair and he'll write it in. It is the one thing this shop keeps a book for.
