Onyx & Aurum Barbershop · Kalispell

The shop

A quiet shop on Sixth Avenue.

45 6th Ave W, Unit 4, Kalispell. By appointment only.

I

Appointment only

No walk-in queue. Your slot is yours, and there is a seat for whoever comes with you.

II

Your cut, on file

What you settle on at the first visit goes on your file, so the next cut starts from there rather than from the beginning.

III

Black and gold, quiet

Matte black, brushed gold, warm light, and the music low. A room you’d sit in for forty minutes even without the haircut.

The build

How it was built.

How the room came together, from an empty unit to the chair.

The door to Unit 4, as it was when the build started.
The unit as handed over: bare cream walls, a chandelier and the existing floor, before any work started.
The room painted black, with the trim stripped, the light fixtures down and the tools still in it.
The same room with the hexagon light grid up and the black marble-look floor down, fixture boxes still waiting along the wall.
The finished front room from behind the checkout counter: the hexagon light grid overhead, black marble-look floor, two black vanities with brass pulls along the far wall and a black leather couch by the wall-mounted TV.
The front room from the entrance: the lit hexagon ceiling, a black leather couch under the TV and speakers, and the checkout counter by the front door with bowls of candy on top.
The finished chair room: two gold-and-black barber chairs under the lit hexagon ceiling, black walls with fine gold veins running across them, a black marble-look floor and a black vanity along the left wall.
