Italian barbering
Snip. Snip. The sound of scissors. The perfect tool to cut hair. Precise. Adept. Nostalgic. Are we old school?
You bet.
communication
One thing we pride ourselves on is that we listen.
We may not understand you all the time…but we listen.
friendly
Benvenuto means welcome. Come in. Sit down. Watch the footie game. Relax and chat. But be ready: you may start talking with your hands.
Straight razor shaves
There is nothing more masculine than straight razor shaving.
Hot towels.
Facial massage.
Old school brush lathering.
Cold steel running over your jugular.
What a way to relax.
A few things to expect from us
Before clippers came to dominate the barbering world, scissors and razors were used to cut men’s hair. Along with this old-fashioned approach, here are few things you can expect when you visit
Hot Towel Service
A steamy hot towel wrapped around your noggin.
Sounds nice? It comes with every haircut.
Attention to detail
Rush. Rush. Rush. The mantra of the day.
Not here. We take our time.
Massage
To finish every haircut, we offer a scalp and shoulder massage. Aside from how you’ll look, it’s the best part.
Classic Taper Haircuts
This haircut is best done with scissors, which allows for a gradual blend from the nape to the occipital notch. Clippers are used to edge and finish, and then the style is blown dry and styled with a finishing paste.
Quo Vadis?
Since the beginning of time, the question was asked of men: “Quo vadis?”
Every gent of some repute, from Caesar to King George V, had a distinctive look.
Now, when he is asked the question of the ages: “Where do you go?”
He can say with firm pride: “Am I not a man? There is only one place to go. I go to Uomo.”
Beard trims, shaping, and treaments
We can handle all manners of beards. If you are looking to feel good in your freshly grown facial foliage, and it is feeling itchy and unkept, we can help you achieve that perfect look to suit your style and facial structure.
If you want a little more, we offer beard treatments using the best Italian beard products known to man.
Il Barbiere: A Frothing, Sudsy Collective Of Manliness, Manes And Moda
Enter the den of the ages.
Men.
Talking.
Sharing.
Stories.
Politics.
Controversy.
Where else can problems be solved?
The last bastion of civic forum: dal barbiere.
Fades
Clean. Tight. A look for men who don’t mess about.
This advanced haircut involves zero-gapping, a gradual blend to the top, straight razor shaving around the edges, and an artists patience.
Pick your artist. Michelangelo. Raffaello . Donatello.
No. We’re not talking about ninja turtles.
Uomo means man
What to call a grooming gathering of men?
We could have called it “men,” but “uomini” was a mouthful.
Since we focus on one man at a time, “uomo” became the title of choice.
Man.
Singular.
A lone warrior.
Singularly masculine.
Uomo: Italian for man.
