Sho N Out Barbershop: A Community-Centered Grooming Experience

Voted DeKalb’s best barbershop five years in a row, Sho N Out Barbershop invites you to experience quality cuts, shaves, and more, all delivered with great vibes and engaging conversation. Your Community Barbershop, situated in the Oakland Shopping Center along Route 23 (Sycamore Rd), has become a cornerstone for the DeKalb County community. We take pride in delivering top-notch haircuts and providing an exceptional overall experience for our patrons.

Our barbershop is more than just a place for grooming-it's a gathering spot where stories are shared, laughs are had, and friendships are forged. Whether you're in for a quick trim or a fresh new look, it’s much more than a haircut at In & Out. The tradition continues with a focus on classic barbering values and modern techniques, ensuring every guest leaves looking sharp and feeling welcomed.

Heritage of Traditional Barbering

Traditional barbering lies at the heart of Sho N Out Barbershop, with cuts and beard trims performed in a setting that blends old-school craft with a modern sensibility. Our services begin with a brief consultation and finish with a hot lather straight razor lining. Our licensed barbers know their craft and stand behind their work, offering military, fire, police, and student discounts to show appreciation for the community.

Client testimonials illuminate the experience: “I went here for close to three years straight while I was in school and working downtown. The online booking is very convenient for making appointments (which are highly recommended).” “By far the best haircut experience I’ve had. Jont explained everything I asked for very well and gave great service.” “Cool vibe and friendly staff.”

Jont, a standout barber and educator with 25 years behind the chair, founded the Milwaukee Street Barbershop in 2014 and surrounds himself with like-minded barbers who seek to continually hone their craft. The shop fosters a warm, welcoming ambiance and is praised for its kid-friendly atmosphere, making it a go-to spot for families seeking consistent, high-quality haircuts.
