How would you describe your shops vibe?

East Hill is an unrestrained, traditional neighbourhood barbershop. Both our barbers and our clients have contributed to our Pensacola Punk Rock TGI Friday’s shop aesthetic. The only thing more eclectic than the objects on the walls are the conversations in the chairs. 

What’s the most popular cut in the shop?

The classic side part but the bowl cut is really making a comeback!

What is the favorite Uppercut Deluxe product?

Currently, the Styling Powder is at the top of our list. 

What product do you use the most of?

The Matte Pomade most definitely. 

What are the shop’s favorite styles to cut?

Would have to be a skin fade with a classic side part. 

What is the best advice for clients before walking in?

There’s always complimentary cold beer and whiskey.  Also, don’t forget to call ahead or book online. We’re a busy shop. 

Who is the shop’s biggest barbering influence? 

Local legend Joe Brown. He’s 102 and still cutting.

What is your favorite shop? 

Without a doubt, Lefty’s in San Diego, CA. This shop has been an inspiration for several successful shops and a heavy influence on East Hill Barbershop.
