Our Story

Scissor Theory Barbershop was built on a simple idea—great haircuts should be more than just a service. They should be an experience. From the moment we opened our doors, our mission has been to elevate the barbering industry by combining top-tier craftsmanship with a modern, welcoming atmosphere.

Founded by Merrick Cole, a barber with years of expertise and a passion for innovation, Scissor Theory quickly became a hub for those who appreciate quality grooming. More than just a barbershop, we are a community where barbers grow their skills, clients leave with confidence, and everyone is welcomed like family.

While continuing his journey with major brands, Merrick also dedicates his time to giving back—mentoring barbers at Scissor Theory and helping them elevate their craft. His goal is to set a new standard for what it means to be a barber, ensuring that every barber in the shop is constantly learning, growing, and delivering the highest level of service.

We believe in a vision that honors the tradition of barbering while bridging the gap between barbering and hairdressing—bringing together precision, artistry, and modern techniques to specialize in men’s grooming at the highest level.

We’ve created a space that fosters independence while providing mentorship and growth opportunities. Our commitment to excellence has led to an expansion, bringing our unique approach to even more people who value precision, creativity, and a damn good haircut.

As we continue to grow, our vision remains the same—to set the standard for modern barbering while staying true to the roots of the craft. Whether you’re here for a fresh fade, a conversation, or a new career opportunity, Scissor Theory is where skill meets style.

Welcome to the next era of barbering. Welcome to Scissor Theory.
