The chairs
Three barbers, one standard: show up on time, leave looking sharper than you walked in.
Marcus “Mac” Hale
Owner & Senior Barber · 12 years
Mac opened Fade Factory after more than a decade behind the chair. If you want a fade that grows out clean, ask for Mac.
Jordan Ellis
Barber · 7 years
Jordan is the go-to for curly and textured hair, plus anyone who wants a cut that still looks good on day five.
Sam Rivera
Barber · 9 years
Sam keeps the old-school crafts alive: tidy classics, hot-towel shaves, and a calm chair for first-timers.
