Interior of a classic vintage barbershop with red leather chairs and antique mirrors

Established 1952

Jim's Barber Shop

Precision cuts, hot-towel straight-razor shaves, and honest conversation. A proper barbershop, the way it ought to be.

Our Story

Three Generations of the Craft

Jim opened these doors in 1952 with a single chair, a straight razor, and a belief that every man deserves to leave looking his best. More than seventy years later, that belief still guides every cut we make.

We keep the old traditions alive — hot lather, cold steel, and time taken to do things right. No apps, no rush, just a good chair and a barber who knows your name.
