-
Beard Trim & Line-up
$22Shape, trim, and razor line-up to sharpen your jaw and neckline, finished with beard oil. Walk out looking deliberate, not overgrown.

-
Kids Cut (under 12)

-

Our story
An honest shop for a proper cut.
Ironside Barber Co. started with a simple idea: a man should be able to walk into a real barbershop, sit in a real chair, and walk out looking sharp — no app upsells, no rushed clippers, no guesswork. Owner and master barber Marcus Hale cut his teeth in old-school shops where the hot towel, the straight razor, and the conversation were all part of the job.
We brought that craft to North Park. The fades are blended by hand, the line-ups are razor-sharp, and the shaves are the genuine hot-lather article. Whether you've got a standing appointment or you're walking in on a whim, you'll get the same care in the chair — and you'll know exactly what you're paying before the cape comes off.
