Why the West Loop makes the trip
A fade that holds up at dinner.
The West Loop dresses up. Dinner on Randolph, a client lunch, a night out in Fulton Market. A fade that's a week too grown out shows, so the blend and the line have to be right.
The Signature Fade and the Crafted Blade Fade are the cuts we're known for: tight blends, clean edges, and a finish that lasts. Add a Royal Shave if the night calls for it.
- Blade fades with a razor-sharp finish
- Hot-towel straight-razor shaves
- Open until 8pm Wednesday to Friday
