Millvale, Pennsylvania
Three chairs, no waiting room theatre
Book the barber you want at the time you want, or walk in and take whichever chair opens first. Both work. Neither costs you an afternoon.

What people say
Why people come back rather than shop around
A barber shop lives or dies on whether the same person is in the chair next time and remembers what you asked for.
The same barber, every time
Book by name. Your notes stay on your booking, so nobody asks how you like it twice.
Walk-ins are real, not a courtesy
One chair is held open every day. If it is taken, the site says so before you drive over.
We run on time
Appointments are 45 minutes because a cut takes 45 minutes. There is no double booking.
Asked for the same cut I always get and got the same cut I always get. That is the whole review.
Walked in at ten past five on a Thursday and was out by six. Nobody made me feel like I had turned up wrong.
Booked my son in for his first proper cut. They took twenty-five minutes over a twenty-five dollar haircut.

Cash and card both fine. Tips go to the barber, not the shop.
The shop
A shop, not a chain
Ninth Street opened on Grant Avenue in 2016 with one chair and a second-hand mirror. There are three chairs now and the mirror is still the same one. We cut hair, we know the regulars by name, and we close on Sundays because everyone should.
Three barbers
All licensed in Pennsylvania, all here most days of the week.
Parking on Grant
Free on the street, and the lot behind the building after 5.
Kids welcome
Booster seat, and nobody minds a bit of noise.
Before you come in
What people ask at the door
Not answered here? Call the shop and whoever is free will pick up. (412) 555-0148
Do I need an appointment?
No. One chair is kept open for walk-ins every day. Booking guarantees a time and a barber; walking in guarantees neither, but usually works.
Can I book a specific barber?
Yes, and most people do. Pick the name when you book and your notes follow you.
What if I am running late?
Call. Ten minutes is fine. Past that the chair goes to whoever is waiting and we will find you the next slot.
Do you cut kids' hair?
Yes, under 12 is $25 and gets a longer slot. Booster seat is there if it helps.

Last thing
Book the chair, or just turn up
Send this and one of us answers it - it does not go to a call centre. If it is quicker to phone, phone.
Rather not type? Phone (412) 555-0148 or email shop@ninthstreetbarbers.com. Millvale, Etna, Shaler, Lawrenceville and the North Side.
That reached the shop.
Somebody answers it between chairs, so give it until the end of the day. If you need a time sooner than that, phone and whoever is free will pick up.
