A Century of Barbering
Experience the character and authenticity of a true American Barbershop in the heart of Europe. Kraig Casebier is a third-generation American barber who grew up around his grandfather's Central City, Kentucky barbershop, founded in 1918, and later his father's shop in Louisville, 'The Wayne Way'. Almost a century later, Kraig brought a lifetime of experience in men's fashion and lifestyle to Prague, igniting the Czech Republic's barber renaissance. Stop by and experience his family's century-old barbering tradition, served up with southern hospitality and a tumbler of fine Kentucky bourbon or a shot of bulletproof coffee.

Passion & Experience
There are good haircuts, and then there are great haircuts.
A great hairstyle should reflect you as an individual. That's why we start with a consultation to determine your particular needs based on hair type, facial structure and head shape, as well as profession, lifestyle and personality. You won’t get a 20 minute cut from us. We take the time to create the perfect style or styles for you. We then teach you the skills to re-create your new look at home.
All our barbers are trained to ensure the highest skill and service required to guarantee a fantastic haircut. Their knowledge combined with the classic American barber experience will have you looking and feeling your best!

One standard bourbon is included with service, and premium brands are available for an extra fee. For organized whiskey tastings please call.

We also are happy to offer our space to others. Our shop lounge is a relaxed place for one-off events, corporate meetings, bachelor parties and small club gatherings. Featuring a country-blues theme that complements the bourbon bar, the space can be rented upon request.

Shop Hours
Walk-ins are always welcome but we are mainly by- appointment since we keep odd hours. Most days we open at 9 or 10 a.m. but Brad takes bookings as early as 7 for the early birds. We often close around 7 p.m, but have no problem staying till 8 or 9 if you ask nicely. Doing it this way lets our barbers take care of their kids, go to the doctor's office and generally have a liveable lifestyle. It also means you don't have to wait in line for a cut.

A Word About Community
In America, the barbershop has always been an important pillar of community life, providing a informal space where people from all walks of life can encounter one another, share experience, learn and laugh. It is a third space, away from the office and the home, serving residents beyond just hair. We've had presidents and abassadors sit in the same chair as activists and line cooks. This is the essence of the American barbershop, and it is one we take pride in creating here.
When you step into our shop, regardless of your nationality, skin color, or political allegience, you can expect a warm and friendly atmosphere where you are welcome.
