Julian Everett opened the shop in the spring of 2016 with the goal of bringing traditional barbering services back to the Shaw and U Street neighborhood. A native Washingtonian, Everett grew up in a hair salon in the Petworth area, where he learned the trade under the tutelage of his mother, June Everett, who operated successful salons in the DC area for 15 years. This background in the family business led Everett to establish his own shop on historic U Street. The shop has become an integral part of the local community, maintaining strong connections with its patrons. The staff includes several other professionals, such as Andryck, Lena, Odai, Robert, and Angalique, who contribute to the diverse range of services available. The shop also offers a 10% discount for active military personnel.

The location sits on U Street Northwest, a main road in the heart of the Shaw district. It is situated very close to several notable landmarks. The Lee's Flowers Mural, a piece of public artwork, is just a short distance away. The African American Civil War Memorial, a monument, is also located nearby. The Garnet-Patterson S.T.A.Y. Opportunity Academy school is within a tenth of a mile. Additionally, the U Street train station is less than a quarter of a mile from the shop, providing convenient transit access. The intersection with 11th Street Northwest is also within a tenth of a mile, placing the barbershop in a central and accessible part of the neighborhood.
