Our Story

We Cut Hair.
We Don't Rush It.

Cutting Up Barbershop sits right on East Carson Street — one of Pittsburgh's most vibrant corridors — and we built it to be a place where the chair doesn't spin until you're ready.

No upsells. No rushing to the next person. Just a sharp cut, a clean shave, and the kind of conversation that makes you actually want to come back.

Whether you need a fresh fade for the week ahead, a straight-razor shave to reset, or just a reliable barber who remembers how you like it — we've got you.
