The Studio

Brick, blades & a proper barber.

Tucked into a suite on historic Church Street, The Cutdown Studio is a locally-owned barber studio built for the man who wants it done right — exposed brick, good conversation and a blade that knows what it's doing.

Every gentleman's cut comes with the full ritual: a complimentary drink, a wash, a clean style and a hot-towel straight-razor finish. Quiet luxury, no pretense — just a sharp cut you'll want to come back for.
