About Me

I’m Nikolai Tairis — a men’s barber with over a decade of hands-on experience, sharp scissors, and even sharper vision. I didn’t stumble into this craft — I chased it, earned it, and made it my life. What started in an old-school barbershop turned into a full-blown obsession with style, precision, and giving guys that “damn, I look good” moment.

I’ve cut the hair of first-timers, CEOs, artists, athletes — and every guy in between. Doesn’t matter who’s in the chair — I treat every cut like it’s going on the cover of GQ. My signature? Clean geometry, smooth fades, and cuts that actually match your vibe. I don’t do cookie-cutter styles — I design looks that work for *you*.

Over the years, I’ve picked up a few trophies along the way. Took first place at the Men’s Barber Battle 2019, made it to the finals of the Fade Masters League 2021, and bagged Best Creative Cut at the TopBarber Awards 2022. But honestly? Awards are cool — earning a guy’s trust, and watching him walk out like a king? That’s what I live for.

My tools are an extension of who I am. I’m all about precision — I use my JRL clippers for those smooth fades, Kasho shears for surgical scissor work, and a classic Wahl detailer to finish every look with attitude. I don’t just cut hair — I sculpt style.

This site is where I drop everything I’ve learned — badass hairstyle ideas, beard care tips, product recs, and grooming moves that make you stand out without trying too hard. No fluff, no filters — just real advice from a barber who’s been in the game and still loves every damn second of it.

Style isn’t about trends — it’s about showing up as the best version of yourself. Let’s make that happen.
