If you’re looking shaggy around the ears, or if you rue the day you let your significant other grab the scissors, spring is the perfect time to get back in the barber’s chair. These local barbershops make the cut when you’re ready to update your look.
Circa Barbershop
With four chairs tucked inside Half-Moon Outfitters, Circa exudes a “less is more” aesthetic. The minimal shop is all white, sleekly modern, and specializes in looks from classic to edgy. Between the five locations in South Carolina, you’ll get consistent service, no matter where you go. The local Circa is run by brothers Jeffrey and Joseph Neely, who offer the brand’s extensive line of products that are vegan, paraben-free, and full of essential oils.

The EDGE Barbershop
The EDGE welcomes everyone from kids to seniors with their new twist on an old-fashioned barbershop. Indulge in a haircut with a razor neck shave, shoulder and neck massage, shampoo, scalp massage, and style—even hair color if you need it. Customers can relax with complimentary cocktails; choose among mixed drinks, beer, bourbon, scotch, or vodka. Getting married? Grooms can reserve the entire shop for a party.

The Pristine Barber Co.
Judging by his artwork hanging on the walls, Aaron Ingle is an artist in more than one medium. This intimate shop with just two chairs is barely a year old, but it nonetheless attracts a diverse, multicultural cross-section of Greenville guys who stop in for skin and shadow fades, hot-towel shaves, and beard enhancements.
