Meet Your Barber
Nate (He/Him)
OWNER/Barber-Stylist (503) 928-4244
Nate has been serving the Northwest neighborhood of Portland since 2011 and keeping its haircuts clean since 2014. He is passionate about all avenues of the barbering industry and strives to change the image of the “traditional” barbershop. He believes barbering is so much more than “men’s grooming”. It’s giving any human that feeling of suave and self confidence that can only be found with a great haircut. Nate specializes in fades, mullets, intricate beard work, textured haircuts, traditional cuts tailored to any gender identity, and making you smile.
He and his partner currently reside in Tualatin, OR. They have two fur babies named Darla and Delilah who are Boston Terriers.
Nate welcomes everyone to his chair and looks forward to providing excellent service, laughs, and self confidence you won’t find anywhere else. Please feel free to contact him with any questions you may have.
