Word on the Broadway

Reviews

Marcus opened Fade Theory's first chair in his uncle's shop at 16. The regulars have not left since.

★★★★★

"Cleanest fade I've had in years. Marcus actually listens to what you want and the blend was unreal."

"Booked Kwame for a hot towel shave before my brother's wedding. Felt like a new man. Proper old school service."

★★★★★

"My son refuses to go anywhere else now. Jaden did a lightning bolt design and he has not stopped talking about it."
