I’m Gentry — I trained in traditional barbering and wet-shaving, and I do it the proper way: unhurried, by appointment, out of Wellington Barbershop in Old Town. A precise cut, a hot-towel straight-razor finish, and you leave looking deliberate — not styled.
Come in unsure — most men do. I’ll look at your hair, your face, and how you carry yourself, then recommend the cut and finish that actually fit you. Then I do it properly, the traditional way.
Reserve a timeI’m Gentry — I trained the old way, in traditional barbering and wet-shaving, and I never saw a reason to rush it. I cut out of Wellington Barbershop, in Old Town, by appointment only, because a proper grooming can’t be done on a clock. A man should look deliberate — like he chose every detail. That’s the whole job.
A great cut is half of it. Here’s the rest — the part most chairs skip.
Before a blade touches your hair, we talk: how you wear it, what your week looks like, what you’re growing out or cutting back. The cut starts with listening.
Scissor-over-comb and clipper work, taken at the pace it deserves. No two heads are the same, and I cut to yours — your growth, your part, your face shape.
A hot towel to soften the skin, a proper lather, and a straight-razor finish on the neck and edges. It’s the closest, cleanest line there is — and it’s a dying art.
Hot towel, a touch of tonic, and you leave put-together from every angle. You’ll notice it in the mirror at home three days later.
