Our story
Ironside was built on three things: a sharp blade, a straight line, and time taken to get it right. No rushing, no guesswork — just barbers who have spent years behind the chair and care about the work. Pull up, talk it through, and walk out looking like the best version of yourself.
Kind words
From our guests
Best fade I have had in the city, full stop. The line-up was razor sharp and held all week.
The hot-towel shave is the real deal — proper straight razor, proper time taken. Felt like a reset button.
Took my kid for his first real cut and they were patient and great with him. We are both regulars now.

Before you visit
Good to know
Do you take walk-ins?
Yes — walk-ins are welcome after 4pm on weekdays and all day Saturday, subject to chair availability. Booking ahead is the surest way to lock in your barber and time.
Where do I park?
Metered street parking runs along Damen Ave., and there is a paid lot one block north on Hubbard. Evenings and Saturdays free up fast on the side streets.
Do you cut kids hair?
We do. Kids 12 and under get their own rate, and our barbers are good with first-timers — just let us know what you are after when you book.
What products do you use and sell?
We work with classic pomades, clays, and beard oils chosen for hold and finish, not hype. Ask your barber what suits your hair and we will set you up to take it home.
Book a chair
Reserve online in under a minute, or swing by after 4pm for walk-ins. Either way, the chair is ready.
