We believe that getting a haircut is more than a simple service. It is important to us that you receive a great haircut delivered with exceptional service and to build strong relationships all within a relaxing and comfortable environment. When you walk into the shop you will recognize the preservation of what a barbershop is. From old-style barber chairs, hot lather face, and neck shaves, to greeting you by name. We strive to uphold tradition.
BIO of ANDY
My name is Andy.
I have been cutting hair for 29 years.
I enjoy my faith, spending time with my wife, kids, grandkids, family, hunting, fishing, nature, conversation, and walks.
Going back to the family farm and spending time is a highlight of mine anytime I get a chance. When I travel I like to be outdoors.
I look forward to seeing you in the shop!

I am grateful for our loyal customer base that keeps our doors open and I ambitiously await to meet all of you whom are returning or new to the shop!
Bio of AJ
Hi, I’m AJ.
I graduated from Chatfield High School and went straight into Barber College at Minnesota School of Barbering.
After finishing barber school in July of 2022 I then moved back to the Rochester area to join the team.
I like to hunt, spend time with family, and chase around the shop dogs Oscar and Bandit.
I hope to see you in the shop for a nice haircut!
Bio of Pete
Hi, I'm Pete!
I grew up here in town, graduating from Lourdes High School.
After a few years away from Minnesota, I came back home and attended the Minnesota School of Barbering up in the Twin Cities.
I enjoy backpacking out in the mountains and an assortment of shooting sports, but what I really enjoy helping the people of Rochester look their best.
Bio of Steve
Hi, I’m Steve. I grew up in Rochester and started my barbering career in 1980, after graduating from Brooks Barber School in St Paul. Previously, I worked for the Kahler Barbers and The Barbers franchise. I owned and operated First Impressions from 1985 until 2003. I’m excited to join the crew with this great new barbershop concept, and the skillful team of barbers. I look forward to meeting you and invite many of my previous client’s to stop in.
Bio of Tom
My name is Thomas but everyone calls me Tom. I graduated High School in 2015 at Plainview Elgin Millville.
About two years ago I was working somewhere that didn’t truly fulfill any dreams I had. I wasn’t sure what to change or where to go, when i decided to get a haircut.
I met Andy who told me all about his life and the love he has for barbering. I ended up going to Molar Barber School and got my Barbering License August of 2023.
Working in this industry has never failed to make my day. Meeting new people and hearing all about their life is something I look forward to everyday, and giving them the best haircut of my ability is the icing on the cake.
In my free time when I’m not cutting hair I attend Eagle Brook Church and two Men’s Groups. I also enjoy going on walks, reading, working out, and playing the occasional video game. Working with the barbershop has ultimately changed my life for the better, in every way.

I have 1 son who is 16 yrs old. I have been a barber for 27 yrs and I just relocated back to Rochester from Fort Myers, FL. I enjoy conversations and the all around atmosphere of a barbershop!
