The shop
A neighborhood shop since 2016
Fade District started as one chair, a radio and Marcus. Ten years on, four barbers keep the chairs full six days a week on West Tinsley.
Every cut ends with a hot towel and a straight-razor neck shave. Kids are welcome; Tony keeps a booster seat and the patience for first haircuts.
Book online if you want a time, or join the line from your phone and wait wherever you like. Either way, nobody stands around.

“Booked at 8 am, in the chair at 9. Marcus's skin fades still look sharp two weeks later.”

“Joined the line from the parking lot, sat in my truck, got a text when it was my turn. That is how it should work.”
