zakk

Master Barber

    “I discovered my true passion for barbering with all types of fades and hairstyles, always striving to learn the new trends while keeping up with classic styles. I take my time and put my heart in every haircut as the passion for barbering runs deep in my roots as my grandfather was a professional hairstylist and my great grandfather was an old school barber back in East London. I enjoy doing kids haircuts and adding fun designs and creating something special. I love to deliver top notch customer service to everyone, keeping you handsome and providing the classic barbershop vibe where everyone is welcome!” @barberzakk

hair cuts

As the foundation of every style, the cut is the most essential element to providing an individual, unique look. Our hair cut prices vary based on the time required for the length and thickness of hair or complexity of the cut, and include a hair wash with luxury products, relaxing scalp massage and professional styling to finish the experience.

color

We offer a full range of professional coloring services including grey coverage, dimensional blonding, balayage, foils, vivid color work, color corrections and glossing treatments. We use a high-performance color line known for its rich pigments, long-lasting results and conditioning ingredients that protect and strengthen the hair during the coloring process. Our formulas deliver vibrant, customizable shades -from natural to bold- while maintaining the hair’s health, shine and integrity. We specialize in color correction and require a free consultation to assess the hair before booking this service to make sure the correct amount of time is reserved.

smoothing

If you have hair that is kinky, curly or unruly, or just plain out of control, get ready for a life changing experience. This incredible process infuses an advanced formulation of all-natural amino acids to the hair. This restructures the hair while eliminating frizz or unwanted curl. Daily styling becomes effortless and reduces blow dry time to a minimum.

* Luxurious texture
* Silky touch
* Brilliant shine
* Effortless styling.
* Total control
* Fast blow drying
* Less daily maintenance
