Kuts and Shaves, and so much more. I am a full service barber. I've dedicated over 25 years in the barbering business. I am a third generation barber and I take pride in this field especially coming from such a strong family of barbers, barber instructors, and barbershop owners. I myself have over 9,000 hours in teaching and am dedicated to continuing to better myself as a barber. Opening a shop where I can continue to provide quality cuts was the next natural thing for me to do.
​
I take pride in my work, and would never let you leave my chair with a cut that I would not be happy to have myself. I take my time and pay attention to detail because I know that a fresh quality cut can make a difference in how you feel. I am a laid-back, easy-going and fun loving guy. I enjoy what I do and want you to have a great experience too.

Hi, I'm Lindsay. I have been a barber for over 18 years. My years of experience have allowed me to become skilled in everything from skin tight fades to layered scissor cuts - omitting flat tops and designs. You want the cut and I can make it happen.
I am proficient in all hair types and textures. I will work with you to figure out the best cut for your hair. I am patient and as a mother of two I work very well with kids. Sit in my chair, check out my work, and enjoy a good conversation. I love what I do and look forward to creating your kut.

Hello everyone! I’m Taya, ever since I was a little girl I’ve always known I wanted to do hair, the timing just never seemed right, when covid started and everyone was in lockdown I finally realized there wasn’t a better time to start looking into cosmetology schools. I decided to attend Style Masters Beauty College of Hair Design in Longview Washington. In 2022 I became licensed in the state of Oregon. At the beginning of the year I decided to learn more of the fundamentals of barbering and made that my career choice. When I’m not at the shop I enjoy spending my time with friends, going to breweries or being anywhere in nature.

Hello everyone, my name is Grace! I’m from a little town in eastern Oregon called Burns. I grew up on a ranch outside of town and absolutely loved the environment. I enjoy traveling, working with animals, and being outdoors. After growing up on a ranch I decided to detour into hair design. I attended cosmetology school in Corvallis, OR and graduated in August of 2024. Now ready to start a career in the field, I’m excited to start here in Astoria and meet lots of new people!

Susie Tappan

Hi everyone, I'm Susie! I come from Jackson Michigan and went to Lansing Michigan to attend the Lansing Barber College. I come from a barbering family, my mom, dad, and sister are all barbers so in 2000 I joined the family in barbering and have been cutting hair ever since. I barbered last in Ann Arbor Michigan, where the University of Michigan is located, (Go Wolverines!) and had a chance to meet people from all over the world.
​
I love meeting new people. Barbering gives me a chance to hear people's stories, their histories, where they've come from. It is what I love the most about the job. I take pride in my haircuts, it makes me feel good to not only get to know you but to see a person look in the mirror after a cut and just smile. I have patience with little ones, having raised a son with autism helps me with children who struggle with sensory issues when getting haircuts.
​
I am excited to be here and looking forward to working with everyone in our community.
Master Barbers vs. Barbers
