Event information
In the Cut is a pop-up barbershop spotlighting Black men’s mental health and the barbershop as a healing space.
This edition features Black barbers and hairdressers offering free cuts and styles, recreating the salon vibe of open dialogue on Black healing.
The event will begin with a panel talk exploring themes of mental health, community, and the role of the barbershop as a sanctuary. Following the panel, haircuts will be offered on a drop-in basis, first come, first served—shape-ups* only.
While services are free, we invite an exchange of knowledge—your stories, insights, and conversations are your contribution.

*A shape-up (also known as an edge-up or line-up) refers to the precise outlining or edging of the hairline. This includes:
- Straightening and defining the front hairline
- Sharpening the edges around the temples
- Outlining the sideburns and back of the neck
It doesn’t involve a full haircut—just crisping up the perimeter for a clean, groomed look. Shape-ups are often done with clippers or a razor for maximum precision.
