Our team

Three barbers. One standard.

Elliott, Reuben, and Cal. Each runs their own chair and their own book of regulars.

Our story

A barbershop, the old way. No fuss.

Oakline opened on MacDougal Street in 2016 with two chairs and one idea: take the time, do the work properly. Greenwich Village has plenty of places that rush you through. We are not one of them.

Eight years later we have three chairs and a regular clientele of locals, students, and people who walk an extra ten minutes for a cut that holds. The philosophy hasn't moved. Listen first, cut second, send people back out looking like themselves on a good day.

We work on classic cuts, skin fades, full beard sculpting, and the kind of hot-towel shave you book the day before. Walk in any afternoon when a chair is free.

Three chairs. Three perspectives.
