“Having just moved back from Canada, I tried out this shop based on reviews. I’ve been there 3 times now and I’ll keep going back for the foreseeable future! Corey is a fantastic barber.”
Top Shelf Studio
“Finding a good barber is hard. Finding a good barber who can also cut your kid’s hair is apparently some kind of minor miracle. I went through the whole ecosystem. The kid specific haircut places where you get an airplane chair, cartoons, bubbles, seventeen distractions and somehow still leave wondering what happened to the fade. Then you try regular barbershops and sometimes the music is blasting, the whole place feels like you’re interrupting a music video and bringing a little kid in feels like you’ve made a terrible parenting decision.
Then there was the final straw, realizing the place we had been going wasn’t keeping its clippers and equipment as clean as I wanted. I was done. And then I found Top Shelf.
Oscar cuts both my son’s hair and mine now and at this point I just hope the man plans on working until we’re both old because I have absolutely no interest in beginning this search again. He’s that good.
I’m annoyingly particular about my hair. I can show Oscar a photograph, explain some half formed idea about what I want and he gets it. The beard work is meticulous. The lines are clean. And what he does with a fade almost feels wrong to call a fade. It’s more like a seamless blend where you can’t really figure out where one length ends and the next begins. Even better, it grows out well, which is something you don’t appreciate until you’ve had enough haircuts that look fantastic for four days and ridiculous by week two.
But the thing that really sold me was watching him cut my son. Same patience. Same attention to detail. Same standards. He doesn’t treat a kid’s haircut like the junior version of the real thing. My son gets an actual haircut, properly blended and finished, while still being in an environment where he can be comfortable.
That combination is unbelievably difficult to find. The shop itself hits the balance too. Comfortable without trying too hard. Friendly without being performative. There’s parking in the back. Everyone I’ve encountered has been welcoming and while I can only personally vouch for Oscar’s work, I’ve watched the other barbers cutting while I’m there and there’s clearly a standard across the shop.
And everything is clean. I probably notice that more than most people after my previous experience, but I appreciate the hell out of it.
I don’t know what took me so long to write this review. We’ve been coming here long enough that Top Shelf isn’t really a place we’re trying anymore. It’s our barber. Oscar, please don’t retire.”
