About FadeCraft
Style, comfort and proper barbering under one roof
FadeCraft opened in 2016 with a simple idea: a barbershop should feel as good as the haircut looks. Ten years later we still run the shop on that idea. Warm lighting, good music, zero attitude, and barbers who treat your head like it is the only head that matters today.
Every barber on the floor trained classically, then specialized. Fades, beards, colour, texture. You get a craftsman for exactly the work you need done, not a generalist guessing through it.
- Classically trained barbers for classic and modern styles
- Tools sterilized and stations reset between every client

What actually makes us different from the rest
There are plenty of barbershops in Brooklyn and most of them can give you a decent haircut. What keeps people coming back to us is everything around the cut. You get a barber who asks questions before picking up the clippers, a shop that is genuinely clean, and a bill that matches the price list on the wall.
We would rather tell you a style will not suit you than take your money and let you find out in the elevator mirror. That honesty has built our regular base more than any advert ever could.
Barbers who listen first
A five minute conversation saves you three weeks of growing out a bad decision.
Cleanliness you can see
Fresh capes, sterilized tools and a station reset between every single client.
Honest advice, no upselling
If you don't need a treatment, nobody here will try to sell you one.
Our Story
Built one cut at a time since 2016
FadeCraft did not start with investors or a marketing plan. It started with one barber, one chair and a growing line of people who liked how they were treated as much as how they looked.
2016
The first chair
Dami opened the shop with a single chair and a following built from years of cutting for friends in Flatbush.
2019
The Boerum Place shop
Demand outgrew the first room, so the shop moved to a proper storefront in Cobble Hill with four chairs and a colour bar.
2023
The full studio
A renovation added the shaving lounge, two more chairs and the kids corner that families know well now.

Testimonials
What our clients say after every visit
“Been coming to Dami since the shop had two chairs. He remembers exactly how I like my fade and never rushes a lineup. Worth every dollar and then some.
Jason Meyer
Product Designer
“I used to bounce between shops every month. Marcus sorted my patchy beard in one visit and gave me a routine that actually works. I haven't gone anywhere else in two years.
Andre Willis
Fitness Coach
“Brought my son in for his first proper haircut. Leo was patient, kept him laughing the whole time and the cut came out clean. We are both customers for life now.
