What We Do

Our Services

Everything The Barber Parlor can do for you in Waterville and the surrounding ME area.

Classic Haircuts

Get a clean, sharp haircut tailored to your style and face shape. Our barbers take the time to understand what you want before making a single cut. Whether you prefer a traditional taper or a modern textured top, we've got you covered.

A great haircut starts with a great consultation. Our barbers assess your hair type, growth pattern, and personal style to deliver a cut that looks sharp the day of and grows out well. We handle everything from classic side parts and ivy leagues to modern crops and textured fades. Every cut includes a hot towel neck clean-up and a finished look you can be proud of walking out the door.

Skin Fades & Tapers

From a subtle low taper to a crisp high skin fade, our barbers deliver the clean lines and smooth blending that make a cut stand out. Precision fades are our specialty and we take real pride in getting them right.

Fades require a steady hand, a trained eye, and years of practice to execute properly. At The Barber Parlor, our barbers have done thousands of fades across every hair type — straight, wavy, coarse, and everything in between. We dial in the blend, keep your lines razor sharp, and make sure the transition is seamless from skin to length. Whether you want a drop fade, burst fade, bald fade, or classic taper, we deliver it consistently every single visit.

Beard Trims & Shaping

A well-groomed beard can transform your entire look. We shape, trim, and clean up your beard to complement your haircut and face structure. Come in with a wild beard and leave looking intentional and put-together.

Whether you're maintaining a short stubble, sculpting a full beard, or trying to grow something new, our barbers know how to work with what you've got. We define your neckline, shape your cheek lines, and even out your density so your beard looks intentional and clean. Beard trims are often paired with a haircut for a complete look, but we're happy to do standalone beard work anytime. Ask about our combination haircut-and-beard packages for the best value.

Straight Razor Shave

Treat yourself to a traditional straight razor shave — hot lather, warm towels, and a close shave you simply can't get at home. It's a classic barbershop experience that feels like a ritual, not just a grooming task.

Our straight razor shaves start with a pre-shave hot towel to open pores and soften the beard, followed by a rich lather applied with a brush. Our barbers use a properly stropped straight razor for an incredibly close, smooth shave, finishing with a cold towel and aftershave to close pores and soothe the skin. This is perfect for special occasions, first dates, job interviews, or simply treating yourself on a Saturday morning. It's the kind of service that reminds you what a real barbershop is for.

Kids' Haircuts

We're great with kids and make the experience easy for parents. Our barbers are patient, friendly, and quick — keeping little ones comfortable while delivering a clean, age-appropriate cut mom and dad will love.

Getting a kid's first haircut — or even their fifth — can feel like a challenge, but our barbers are experienced working with children of all ages. We keep the environment relaxed and friendly, move at a pace the child is comfortable with, and work with parents to deliver exactly the style they're looking for. From simple trims to little-guy fades, we handle it all. Bring the whole family in and let us take care of everyone in one stop.

Hot Towel Treatment & Scalp Care

Add on a hot towel treatment or scalp massage to your visit for the full barbershop experience. It's the small upgrade that makes a good haircut feel like a great one.

Sometimes you just need a moment to decompress. Our hot towel treatments use warm, aromatic towels to relax the face and neck while we finish your cut or shave. Add a scalp massage to stimulate circulation and relieve tension built up from a long workweek. These add-on services are quick, affordable, and make a serious difference in how you feel when you leave the chair. It's self-care without the fuss — straightforward, effective, and done by hand.
