Hot towel straight-razor shave at Imperial Barber House, Ypsilanti

The Experience

Step through the arch.

  1. I

    The chair

    Leather, brass, and a real headrest. You sit down and the rest of the day waits outside.

  2. II

    The hot towel

    Every shave and beard service starts with heat. It opens the skin and makes the razor glide.

  3. III

    The finish

    A neck shave, a line check in the mirror, and nothing leaves the chair until it's right.

The Barber

5+ years cutting. Licensed in Michigan.

I've been cutting hair since 2021, and this shop is my way of giving back to the community that raised me.
