About Us
Welcome to the Neighborhood
Hi, thanks for visiting Off The Top. You may have noticed by now we are different. Off the Top was designed with high quality, comfort, and relaxation in mind. Also with the idea that one client get all the attentiveness of the barber with an appointment exclusive business model. The idea is quality, not quantity. (See Mission Statement)
So with that said, the reason I opened Off The Top in Kelso is simple: I live here! I wanted to support local commerce and to give Kelso, Longview, and its surrounding areas the kind of specialty services that, for a long time, could only be found by driving into Portland or Seattle. Also, I wanted to be home more. I was working in the city and commuting to Portland far too long. Don't get me wrong: I worked at one of the top shops in Portland, and it was an awesome shop and I had awesome clients, but I'm sure you can relate, at some point how much are you sacrificing and is it worth it? I was ready to do a shop on my terms, my way, my hours, my vision. So that’s exactly what I did...
A trip to this shop is more than just a haircut. The goal is to make your visit an experience. Free beverages, suitable for all ages, and maybe a few that aren't suitable for all ages, is just for starters. For the young ones there are coloring books, puzzles, toys, and places to play outside in our playground so the kids don't feel stifled while waiting. There is more for adults too: there's a spacious deck to relax on with a table for your coffee or a cold one, depending on your mood. While you're there, take a look under the apple trees. Chances are you will see a family of deer unencumbered, relaxing in the quiet of the day. There is so much here, too much to write, and all with a great view! It's a unique experience you won't forget and I guarantee you'll be back again!
So come check us out and see for yourself what sets Off The Top apart from the rest.
See you soon!
I offer everything from traditional and classic barbering such as straight razor shaves and services, to relaxing hot towel experiences, to the latest in men’s styles short or long, no matter the texture, color blending if needed, and more! I have nearly two decades of experience in the industry, worked in the most exclusive shop in Portland, and I was an educator for advanced barbering and hair styling techniques for up and coming talent in Portland for years. Believe me, you won't be disappointed! Come check out why Off The Top is a Cut Above!
Bottom Line...
Here at Off The Top you will get the kind of service and expertise Longview and Kelso have been anticipating for a long time!
