Barbershop, Example City

Cut slow, leave sharp

Scissor cuts, skin fades and hot towel shaves in a six-chair shop on Example Street. Walk-ins before ten, everything else by the book.

Six chairs, one standard. Every cut starts with a conversation and ends when the neckline is clean, not when the clock says so.

Barba is a neighbourhood barbershop with a slow pace on purpose. We book 45 minutes for a haircut, keep the radio low and the coffee strong, and write your settings down so the next visit starts where the last one stopped.

[ 03 ] The ritual

Three towels, two passes, one quiet half hour

The hot towel shave is the slowest thing we do and the one people come back for.

All six barbers

Pick a barber, keep a barber

Most of our clients have sat in the same chair for years. Each barber keeps a card with your guard numbers, parting side and the products you like, so every visit picks up where the last one stopped.

What happens in the chair

( 01 )

Talk first

Five minutes on how you wear your hair, what went wrong last time and how much effort you want to spend in the morning.

( 02 )

Hot towel

A warm towel and a wash to soften the hair. It makes the cut cleaner and it is the first moment most people actually sit back.

( 03 )

The cut

Scissors and clippers, checked dry and checked again. Edges and neckline finished with a fresh blade.

( 04 )

Finish and notes

Styled the way you can repeat at home, your settings on a card, and the next visit booked if you want it.

Matteo has cut my hair for six years. I sit down, he asks about my kids, and twenty minutes later it looks exactly like last time. That is the whole point.
