Traditional barbershop · Old Metairie · Since 2018
Clipper-and-scissor work for the modern gentleman, finished with a hot-towel rinse. The straight-razor shave is real — hot lather, cold towel, then the blade. On Metairie Road, just past the parish line.
3231 Metairie Rd · The chair
We opened the doors in March of 2018 with a simple idea — a barbershop the way the neighborhood used to know one. A clean chair, a careful blade, and conversation that doesn't talk down to a man who knows what kind of cut he wants.
The address is 3231 Metairie Road, just past the Orleans Parish line in Old Metairie. It's a quieter block — oaks, brick storefronts, a few residents who walk over from a few streets away. We pour a complimentary drink while you wait, and we offer a house discount to first responders, every visit.
Melissa and Dani take most of the chair time. Both have been written up by name in Google reviews more times than the shop sign — which, around here, is the only credential that really counts.
"Old Metairie Barbershop caters to today's gentleman — expertly crafted hairstyles, fades, and line-ups, with a clean and trendy atmosphere where you can relax over a drink while you wait." — from the shop's own description
A full-service cut and style — clipper and scissor — followed by a steamed-towel shampoo and a back-of-neck razor finish. The standard, done the way it ought to be done.
A proper, old-fashioned straight-razor shave for the beard, paired with hot and cold towel treatments. About forty minutes in the chair, and you'll feel them when it's done.
Beard shaped to suit your face, edges and line-up cut clean. For the man who keeps the beard — but wants it kept right.
The two small things most shops skip. Brows tidied, neck shaved smooth — and the cut suddenly looks finished.
A standing house discount for first responders — police, fire, EMS — every visit. Show up, sit down, we'll handle it.

My husband and son both recently received haircuts from Dani and she did a wonderful job. Dani went above and beyond.From a Google review
Old Metairie is the quiet end of the road — oak shade, brick storefronts, families that have been on the same blocks for two and three generations. We sit at 3231, with the candy-cane pole turning out front.
Walk-ins welcome any day we're open. If you'd rather have a time set, call the shop and we'll put you down with Melissa or Dani — say which cut, and tell us if it's the hot-lather shave you're after.
