Cuts, Fades & Straight-Razor Work
Everything you sit down for at LaBelle's, from a full haircut to a hot-towel line-up. Walk-ins are welcome — or book your barber ahead of time.
Skin & Taper Fades
Crisp, blended fades from a low taper to a clean skin, faded exactly how you asked — no guesswork.
Beard Trim & Line-Up
Shaped, edged and detailed. Hot-towel finish to leave the neckline and cheek lines razor clean.
Cut & Beard Combo
The full reset — haircut and beard shaped together so the whole look lines up front to back.
Kids' Cuts
Patient, quick and clean for the young ones — first haircuts to fresh fades for the school year.

The Shop
A neighborhood parlor with an old-school soul.
LaBelle's Barber Parlor is a fixture on Akron's East Side — a warm, speakeasy-styled room where the details matter and everyone gets treated right. Owner Charles LaBelle built the shop around a simple idea: a great cut, an honest welcome, and time taken to do it properly.
Regulars come as much for the atmosphere as for the fades — the leather, the low light, the conversation. Whether it's a skin fade, a classic scissor cut or a straight-razor line-up, the work leaves the chair clean and lined up front to back.
"Great atmosphere, great attention to detail, great prices and above all, great customer service."
