Before you book

Shave questions.

How long does a straight razor shave take?

Traditional Straight Razor Shaves are booked for 55 minutes.

What does facial waxing cover?

Ears, nose, and eyebrows, in about 15 minutes. We use non-strip hot wax for comfort, so it’s virtually pain-free.

Can I give a shave as a gift?

Yes. City Barbers gift cards start at $50, are sold online, and work for any service.

Is a straight razor shave okay for a first-timer?

Yes. Your barber preps your skin with heated towels and hand-whipped lather and takes it slow. Just relax; the appointment is 55 minutes.

I have sensitive skin. Can I still get a shave?

Tell your barber before you start so they can adjust. If you have a skin condition, irritation, or broken skin, check with a doctor or dermatologist first.

How often should I get one?

As often as you like. Some clients save it for special occasions, and others make it a regular end-of-week ritual.

Do you take walk-ins?

Appointments come first, and the chairs fill up, especially on weekends and holidays. Walk-ins are welcome whenever a barber is free, but booking online is the only sure way to get your time.
