No photos.
No reviews.
No followers.
Just the cut.

You won’t find a portfolio here yet. No wall of five-star quotes, no follower count, no framed awards. There’s a barber who is very, very good with clippers — and a calendar that’s still open.

Every photograph on this page will be of real work, shot in the chair. The frames below are reserved for them. Maybe for yours.

Photo slot 01 · 4:5 · Ivan at the chair, window light. Reserved for real photography.
Photo slot 02 · 3:2 · Macro — a finished skin fade, back of the head. Reserved.
Photo slot 03 · 1:1 · The tools, laid out. Reserved.

Five ways to
put him to work.

  2. For people whose time costs more than the travel fee. Your home, your office, your hotel room — for one person, or a few in a row.

    The clean baseline

    Tools, blades, sanitation and the zero line everything else is built on.

  2. #½ – #11.5 – 3 mm

    The blend

    Where a fade lives or dies. Guard changes, lever work, and erasing the line you just made.

  3. #2 – #46 – 13 mm

    Shape

    Reading the head, weight lines, clipper-over-comb, the transition into the top.

  4. #825 mm

    The finish

    Line-ups, detailing, and the photo-ready last ten minutes.

Serious event.
Serious fee.

Barber tours, guest appearances, stage demos, brand work. Ivan says yes to fewer events so each one gets everything. The rider is short.
