The Commons Barbershop

The Commons Barbershop runs on a motto it puts right up front: "Community Over Competition." The shop on East Methvin Street says it is not just about a haircut but about belonging somewhere, and it backs that with a five-chair team — owner and barber Adam Rash alongside barbers Hayden Smith, Rashaad Byerly, Clayton Haden and Drake Plunkett. Booking runs online through Square, and the shop publishes its cancellation policy, FAQs and terms up front. The Commons also retails its own styling line: an all-purpose pomade made with aloe vera juice, beeswax, shea butter and grapeseed oil, a texturizing paste with jojoba oil and kaolin clay, and a clay pomade the shop describes as its most durable and robust product.
