Modern men have modern needs.
We all like to look and feel our best, and it's nice to be able to find that niche place that caters to those specific needs. There was a season when women’s cuts and colors were where the money was at in the industry and barbering took a back seat to hairstyling and cosmetology.
Bringing Back Barbering
Jason Crampton grew up in Colorado Springs and knew he was destined to have a hands-on job. He worked as a line cook for years before being convinced to give barbering a chance. He started out hairstyling in a salon and saw there was a void for the fellas who needed to attend to their appearances. The masculine feel and culture of a barbershop was missing in the salon scene. Old traditional barbershops were not as prevalent as salons and men were missing the space where they could go, sit in the chair, be themselves, and receive expert care.
So, Jason went back to school to obtain his barbering license.
Shave and a Haircut – Two Bits
Crampton opened Lincoln Street Barbers on Cascade Street in Colorado Springs, and curated his crew. They call themselves "a community of civilized misfits." An authentic group of experts in their industry have converged to meet men’s specific grooming needs, while providing that unique barbershop community and feel.
The community benefits from the infusion of culture and the outreach that Lincoln St. Barbers prioritize. They are supporters of Patty Jewett Porch Fest as well as making sure that kids in need have haircuts before the school season starts so they are able to show up looking and feeling their best on that all-important first day.
A good blend and fade are just the beginning – these misfits are experts with their clippers and straight-razors. Beard grooming, hot lather shaves with steam towels, cutting, trimming, and styling are staples for this crew.
They are open seven days a week, from 6:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m on weekdays and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekends.
