Est. Rochester, NY
Classic cuts, precision shaves, and genuine conversation on Mount Hope Ave. No rush. No filler. Just a good barber.
What We Do
From fade to scissor-over-comb, we cut hair the way it was meant to be cut — with attention to your head shape and the way you live.
A straight razor, a steaming towel, and the kind of patience that turns a shave into something you look forward to — not just get through.
Sculpted, cleaned up, or shaped from scratch. We work with the grain — and with what actually grows — not just the style you brought in.
No appointment necessary. Show up when you're ready, and we'll get you in the chair — usually before you think you will be.
Right near campus and right in the neighborhood — fair prices, no markup for being close to RIT or the colleges. You matter to us.
Talk about your day, your game, or your week. Or don't. We're comfortable with either. The chair is yours.
About Us
College Town Barber Shop sits on Mount Hope Ave in the heart of Rochester, where the neighborhood moves fast and the students never stop coming. We've built this place around one idea: that a good cut doesn't need a reservation, and a good barber remembers your name.
We cut hair the old way — with care, with clippers that stay sharp, and with the kind of attention that makes you look in the mirror and actually like what you see. Whether you're a student on a break, a professional heading into the week, or someone who just wants a clean fade done right, you'll find a chair here.

"The best cut I've had in Rochester, period. No frills, no nonsense — just someone who actually knows what he's doing with a clipper."
