Classic Cuts Co.
Classic Cuts Co. is a true barbershop on South Lime Avenue, built for men of all ages who want that flawless, finished look. The smell of hot lather, the snap of a fresh cape, and a barber who actually knows men's hair.
We offer a full range of services — straight-razor shaving, precision cuts, beard grooming, skin fades and hot-towel head shaves. Our classic shop gives you the chance to have your hair handled by professionals who treat the cut like a craft.
While we specialize in men's cuts and shaves, everyone's welcome in the chair — we also offer women's services, family-friendly styling and kids' cuts by appointment. Walk-ins welcome too!
