15 Years of Craftsmanship on State Street

When we opened our doors in 2011, downtown Erie was quiet. Over the past 15 years, we’ve watched this city revitalize — and through it all, our chairs have welcomed judges, dockworkers, college students, and generations of fathers and sons.

You don't earn 526 five-star Google reviews by cutting corners. Every haircut finishes with a straight-razor neckline cleanup and a steamed towel. That is our permanent promise to Erie.
