The Dockyard Barber

The Dockyard Barber has set anchor in a new port. Danny is now cutting at the historic Olympian Barbershop in downtown Olympia, Tuesday-Thursday, 10-5! Text for an appointment or take a chance on a walk in. (360) 280-9853. Sail on friends.

Per Gov. Inslee’s mandate to all barber shops, I will not be providing services for the next two weeks. I will however be selling pre-paid gift certificates for services when we do reopen, and have plenty of beard oil available as well. PM me for more details. These are weird times, and I hope everyone can remember that we are all in this together. Be safe and kind to each other.

I’ve had a bunch of cancellations, which is understandable, but I wanted to let everyone know that I will be in the shop today and tomorrow and have openings and a good stock of beard oil available. I am taking extra sanitary precautions. If you do show any symptoms, please stay home and take care of yourself. Safely sail on, friends.

Fresh batch of The Dockyard Barber’s Private Stock Beard Oil available now. Handmade in small batches, from one beard to another. Available exclusively at Milo's barber shop on the west side of Olympia.

I will be out of the shop this Saturday (6/23) If you want to get in this week, I still have some availability tomorrow. Send me a text or message on here to find a time!

FYI, going to be out of the shop on Tuesday and Wednesday this week. I'll be back Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. They are filling up quick being a short week, so hit me up if you want to get in!

One year ago today I did my first haircut as a licensed barber. The Eastside Barber Co. had only one chair setup and I don’t even think we had working lights on the wall yet, just a couple of shop lights on stands. I wasn’t even planning on cutting that day as we had so much still to do with boxes and supplies scattered all over. But even without a barber pole or an open sign, a man came walking through the door asking if I could do a haircut. I sat him down and proceeded to give my first cut in the shop. I still have the first dollar he handed me hanging in my station. A lot has happened over this past year. Reminders that it's rarely a straight line to our goals, the road there twists and winds. So it feels good to look back today and see how much I have accomplished and how far I have traveled. I can’t thank my friends and family enough for their support, either. Without you, I wouldn’t be this far along the path. So thank you all.

Sail on, my friends.
