Barber shop in Charlotte, NC
The CUT Barbershop is an uptown Charlotte barbershop located at 121 West Trade Street, in the Square at Trade and Tryon Streets. It was established in 2010 by owner Jill Matthews, a working barber herself, with a mission to give the community traditional, exceptional grooming services "that men have enjoyed for hundreds of years." That founding philosophy still shapes the shop today, blending classic barbershop craft with attentive, modern service. The shop's menu centers on core men's grooming staples: a premium haircut, a buzz cut, beard trims, neck trims, and shampoo services, with beard trims priced to fit a range of grooming needs. Clients can request a specific barber they trust or take the next available stylist, a flexibility suited to both regulars and walk-ins. What sets The CUT apart from a typical barbershop is a simple addition to the experience: cold beer. As the shop puts it, "how could the perfect barbershop exist without BEER?" Guests can enjoy a beverage while they wait or get their cut, turning a routine haircut into a more social, relaxed stop in the middle of a workday or weekend. The CUT Barbershop is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and is closed Sundays. Given its steady walk-in traffic, the shop enforces a one-hour cancellation policy and a ten-minute grace period for lateness, policies meant to keep the schedule fair and moving for every client who comes through the door of this uptown institution.
