Downtown Decorah · Walk-ins welcome

Good cuts. No fuss.

Two chairs for barbering, one for color and styling, and a coffee pot that's always on. Book a time that suits you, or walk in on weekday mornings and we'll fit you in.

Menu & prices

The menu

Prices include a wash on request and a neck shave on every barber cut. Not sure what to book? Pick the closest and tell us; we'll sort it in the chair.

Example pricing for this sample site. Color prices depend on hair length and how much product we use; we'll confirm before we start.

Walk-ins vs. booking

Two ways to get in the chair

Most of our regulars book a standing slot every three or four weeks, and that's the surest way to get the time you want. But we keep weekday mornings open for walk-ins, because sometimes you just need a cut before the interview.

Color and highlights are by appointment only, so we can block the time and mix the right formula before you arrive.

About

Hey, I'm Luis.

I cut hair for twelve years in Rochester before moving back near family and opening Second Chair in 2021. The name's a joke from barber school: I was always the guy on the second chair, learning from whoever was on the first.

Kate runs the salon chair. She does the color, the cuts with a lot of layers and every bridal party in town that will let her. Between us we know most of Decorah's hairlines by heart.

We're not fancy. We're on time, we listen and we'll tell you honestly if a cut won't work with your cowlick.

FAQ

Before you sit down

Do you take walk-ins?

Yes, Tuesday to Thursday from 9am to noon, for barber cuts and beard trims. Other times, booking is the safest bet. Text us and we'll tell you how long the wait is.

How do I book?

Use the booking form on this page, call or text. On a live site, the "Book a chair" button can link straight to your booking app, like Square or Booksy, if you already use one.

What's your cancellation policy?

Please give us 12 hours' notice. Life happens, so there's no fee the first time, but after two no-shows we'll ask for a deposit to hold future appointments.

Do you do color corrections?

Yes, but always after a free 15-minute consultation. Corrections can take more than one visit, and we'd rather give you a real plan and price than guess.

Is parking available?

Free two-hour street parking out front, plus a public lot behind the building.

Do you cut kids' hair?

Absolutely. Kids 12 and under are $20, and first haircuts get a lock of hair in an envelope to take home.
