Arguably Pittsburgh's oldest barbershop, Pleasant Hills Barbershop was established in 1938 and is still family owned 85 years later. We are proud to carry on the tradition and welcome all generations of families in our community. Our barbers are skilled in both classic and modern styles, and use clippers, scissors, and straight razors to perfect your cut. We do it all: skin fades to regular fades, military cuts, tapered cuts, pompadours, textured styles, and shear work. From beards to eyebrows to design work, we have the tools and techniques that distinguish a barber shop haircut from that of a salon or franchise. We are overwhelmed with gratitude as we celebrate our 86th Anniversary!
