For a more street-style aesthetic, Skill Barber offers fast, clipper-heavy cuts by those who look better suited to a hiphop party than a barbershop. Their modern styles are famous across the city, perfecting a number of cut techniques from buzzcuts to intricate designs carved into high fades, something they like to call ‘hair tattoos’. At times you’ll find the crew hanging out the front of the shop with local rap artists and other famous folk looking for their latest fashion trim and while they do focus on men’s cuts, they can do punky, modern styles for both sexes if required. They also have a number of texture specialists for those who rock afros, cornrows and other black hairstyles.
