There’s nothing quite like that post-cut confidence. The fade is crisp. The beard is clean. And in Portland’s Hawthorne District, the neighborhood practically begs for a victory lap.
At Throne Barbershop, we know your haircut isn’t just maintenance—it’s a statement. It’s a reset. And whether you’re heading out for a coffee, meeting up with friends, or just running errands with more style than necessary, we’ve got the local map for showing off that freshly-sharpened look.
Haircuts with Personality
Portlanders wear their personalities in their hair. Whether you’re rocking a tight skin fade, a textured crop, or a sculpted beard, your look tells the world who you are—before you say a word.
Here’s how style syncs up with some favorite local haunts:
- The Bold Fade: Eye-catching and precision-cut, this style plays well at places like Bagdad Theater where you’re bound to run into other sharply styled locals.
- The Classic Crew: Simple, low-maintenance, and timeless. Pairs perfectly with chill hangs at Common Grounds Coffeehouse.
- Textured Top & Beard Combo: Laid back with a twist—think SE Portland’s tattoo shops or Powell’s on Hawthorne.
At Throne Barbershop, we match your style with your lifestyle. Because your haircut should work for the places you go and the vibe you carry.
