Under the juniper, 2008
A folding chair, a pair of clippers and a line of neighbors on Saturday mornings behind Grandma Whitaker's house on 16th Street.

How we got here
The people, the room and the promise behind every appointment.
Our story
From a folding chair to three halls
The hardware store
In 2010 the old hardware store across the street went up for lease. The neighborhood showed up with paint rollers, and the walls went juniper green.
The apprenticeship
Elias started paying apprentices in 2012. Forty-one barbers have graduated since, and half of them still cut in Oklahoma City.
Midtown, 2016
The second hall opened in a 1920s bank building, led by Rosa Delgado, with the vault turned into a shave room.
Paseo, 2022
The third hall brought the porch to the arts district, with Marcus Bell at the head chair.
First Sundays
Every first Sunday, all three halls give free cuts to anyone who needs one — kids before school, folks before job interviews. It's how we say thank you.
