Empowering barbers and students for a brighter future.
We’re moving!
We are moving to 7323 Oswego Road in a beautiful new facility, and will resume operations on 3/31/25
Supporting education and innovation.
Saving Face Barbershop started in 2009 as a 3 chair shop. We have since grown to 4 shops across the Central New York and Capitol regions, winning best barbershop 3 years in a row across the state.
Up until now, all of our barbers have been trained in house. Many of which have gone on to be published in hair magazines, done hair for A-list movies, and opened successful shops of their own.
2024 is a new year for our team and students. With a 100% graduation rate, job placement, and NYS Board Exam Pass Rate thus far, we have high hopes for the future!
