Chapter 01

The clubs

Marcus spent twelve years cutting hair in New York and London members' clubs, and noticed who was never invited in.

Chapter 02

Rainey Street

In 2015 he leased a fourth-floor loft with a view of Lady Bird Lake and built a club with an open door.

Chapter 03

No assumptions

From day one, cuts were priced by time and never by gender. Chosen names went on every booking.

Chapter 04

The members

Membership began as a waiting list for Sunday hours. Today there are 640 members.

Chapter 05

East Austin

In 2022 we opened a barber and grooming room on East Cesar Chavez.

Chapter 06
