Chris was born and raised in Bend, Oregon, where he developed a passion for hair design as a form of self-esteem and expression. After college, he moved away from Bend for 16 years, exploring careers in healthcare and business ownership. Despite his success, Chris felt the pull of his true passion—barbering. In 2022, he made the decision to return to Bend, not only to raise his family but to finally pursue the craft he had always been drawn to.
Chris enjoys all aspects of barbering, from classic styles like pompadours, gentlemen's cuts, and straight razor shaves to modern high-texture cuts, skin fades, long hair, and beard grooming. His favorite part of being a barber is helping people look and feel their best, while building meaningful conversations and relationships with his clients.
Outside of the barbershop, Chris treasures life with his wife of over 18 years, Cara, their two children, Mack and Charlotte, and their German Shorthair Pointer, Rocky.

He switched gears (pun intended) from a 14-year career as a Harley-Davidson mechanic to barbering, where his attention to detail quickly accelerated his skills. Observing the barbershops in our area, Grady felt that Bend deserved better. With the unwavering support of his loving wife, Kelsey, a 15-year hairstylist, he dedicated himself to creating a barbershop that is truly one of a kind.
Grady loves doing razor art and designs, finding joy in the creativity and precision it requires. He has also come to cherish the relationships he forms from behind the chair, appreciating the opportunity to connect with his clients on a personal level. Grady believes that God has put him on a path of discipleship, and he uses his shop and skills to serve God and the community.
Beyond his professional achievements, Grady's greatest passion and purpose is being a father to his sweet daughter, Adeline. Balancing his roles as a dedicated business owner and a devoted father, Grady continues to inspire both his clients and his family with his hard work, integrity, and love for what he does.

(like Top Gun, but TOP DOG)
This good boy has been in the biz since 2019 and has been working (service animal) with Grady for a few of years now, so some of you may recognize him. He is a Golden Doodle, or “Goodle” if you will. Don’t be surprised if he comes over for some snuggles on the couch. He loves kids and is always ready to sit for a treat.
Fun fact: he only has one eye, and when he sets it upon you, it is the sweetest sad puppy eye you’ve ever seen. He really knows how to use it to get what he wants. You may hear him sound a little grumpy sometimes, but not to worry. His grumbling and groaning is his way of saying, “I want to go play” or “Don’t you walk by and just ignore me.” or “Hey, I'm cute, look at me!”
This lovable pup brings joy and comfort to everyone at the barbershop. His presence is a delightful addition, making the environment even more welcoming and warm. Whether he's cuddling with clients or charming them with his adorable antics, Maverick truly knows how to make everyone’s day a little brighter.
