Testimonials
Abhishake Kumar
Just got my first haircut at Tonsorial Standard, and I couldn't be happier. Rafael took care of me, and his attention to detail was next level. You can tell both he and his brother Jesse take real pride in their craft. The shop has a great atmosphere—clean, comfortable, and professional. This was my first time here, but definitely not my last. Looking forward to my next cut!

I felt like I didn’t pay enough for the service. If you are looking for a personal barber look no further.
