A neighborhood barbershop for fades, scissor cuts, beard work and the straight-razor shave your grandfather still talks about.
Each appointment includes a consultation, a hot towel finish and styling with our house products. Tax included.
Clipper, scissor or both. Washed, cut, styled.
Shape, line-up and conditioning for any length.
Pre-shave oil, three hot towels, lather, two passes.
Cut or fade, beard sculpt and a hot towel straight-razor shave, finished with a shoulder massage and a drink on the house.
Walter Hale opened NORTH & BLADE with two chairs, a secondhand barber pole and a rule that nobody gets rushed out of the seat. Thirty-two years later the shop has six chairs, the pole still turns, and the rule has not changed.
We cut every head of hair by hand and book appointments with enough room for a proper consultation. Tools are sterilised between every client, blades are single-use, and the towels come out of a hot cabinet, not a microwave.
Four full-time barbers with a combined 58 years behind the chair. Everyone does everything; each of us has a favourite.
Best skin fade I have had in this city, and Marco actually asked how I wear it before he started. Booked my next one at the till.
Bought my partner The Full North for his birthday. He came home looking ten years sharper and talking about the hot towels for a week.
Tomas gave me my first straight-razor shave. No nicks, no rush, and the razor line on my beard still looks clean two weeks later.

Yes, Tuesday to Friday until 5 pm, whenever a chair is free. Saturdays are almost always fully booked, so we recommend reserving online.
Cancel or move your appointment free of charge up to 4 hours before. We hold your chair for 10 minutes after the start time, then offer it to a walk-in.
Every shave starts with pre-shave oil and a fresh single-use blade. Tell your barber about sensitivity and we switch to a fragrance-free lather and balm.
