Our story

Our story

Blackline opened on Example Street in 2018 with one chair and a simple rule: walk in, sit down, get a proper cut.

Most of our regulars live or work within a few blocks. They come in on the way to work, on a lunch break or on a Saturday morning with their kids. We keep the wait short, the prices on the wall and the conversation easy.

Every barber here does fades, beards and scissor work, and each has a specialty. If you know who you want, ask for them by name when you walk in.
