Phoenix, Arizona

Your Barber in Phoenix

Blades of Gold is a traditional barbershop on N 16th Street where fades, scissor work, beard shaping and straight-razor shaves are done slowly and properly — not on a stopwatch.

How our barbers work

Consultation first

Your barber asks how you style it, how often you cut it and what has gone wrong before — then sets guards and guidelines around your head shape and growth pattern.

Fades and tapers

Clean skin fades, low and mid tapers and blended sides, checked from every angle in the mirror before the line work starts.

Beard and razor work

Beard shaping, neckline and cheek lines, and full straight-razor hot towel shaves with hot towels to soften the hair first.

Finish and style-out

We finish with a wash or towel-off, product suited to your hair and a quick lesson on getting the same look at home.

A photo of the cut you want helps, but it isn't required. Arrive a few minutes early, and let your barber know about cowlicks, scars or growth patterns so they can work around them.
