Crows Nest isn’t just a throwback barbershop. Crows Nest isn’t just an aesthetic steeped in tattoos, motorcycles, quality fades and memories of days long past.

And with a small explosion of nascent barber shops that now dot this fair city, that’s no easy feat. Part of it is homage to a once-dying trade that is back on its feet.
Having opened in 2010 by Jon Roth in a compact basement in Kensington, Crows Nest seemed to explode on impact building a vast and loyal clientele through word-of-mouth in its first year.
