Men's Haircuts in Oakland
Skin fades, tapers, scissor cuts, and beard trims from a family-run salon in downtown Oakland — a short walk from Lake Merritt. Quality cuts at a fair price, for every hair type, since 2007.
What We Offer
Skin Fades & Tapers
Low, mid, or high — clean blends and sharp lineups, matched to your head shape and how fast your hair grows.
Scissor Cuts
Classic scissor work for textured, longer, or grown-out styles. Scissor cuts are a specialty of Ken's — clients have called him the best 'Scissor Man' in the Bay.
Beard Trims & Shaping
Beard trims, lineups, and shaping to keep your whole look sharp between cuts.
Asian Hair
Asian hair is one of our specialties — Ken and Nick have decades of combined experience with straight, thick hair, from skin fades to textured crops and perms.
Curly & Wavy Hair
We work with all hair types and textures, including curly and wavy hair — cut to work with your texture, not against it.
Kids & Seniors
A family salon in every sense — quality cuts for every generation.
