The gallery rotates, and the shop hosts art openings and after-hours events. Services cover barbering, cuts, color, classic styling, gender-affirming styling, body-positive waxing, makeovers and braiding. Appointments are booked online through the Book Now button.

Hours are Tuesday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The salon describes its barbers as award-winning. It also states that the sister shop won Best of the East Bay in 2024.
