About N The Cutt
Our Story
N The Cutt is a locally owned and operated barbershop on Pine Avenue in Cumberland, Maryland. For 32 years our main focus has been delivering dependable, personalized barbering services that help clients look professional, polished, and confident. Our founder and lead barber is licensed, experienced across classic and modern techniques, and committed to creating a comfortable barbershop experience where every client—man, woman, or child—receives tailored attention. This page explains who we are, our mission, values, history, what sets us apart, and how we approach every appointment to achieve consistent excellence.
Why Our Barbershop Exists
We believe grooming is an essential part of individual presentation and self-care. A professional cut or groomed beard can transform how you feel and present yourself to the world. N The Cutt was created to provide Cumberland with a reliable, skilled barbering option where technique, sanitation, and customer service are priorities. We noticed early on that clients wanted a barber who listened, executed with precision, and always maintained a neat, friendly environment—so we built a shop around those principles.

What Sets N The Cutt Apart
Proven track record
Thirty-two years of consistent work means we’ve encountered nearly every hair type, head shape, and grooming challenge—so we provide solutions rather than guesses.
Personalized consultation
We don’t rush. Each service starts with clear communication about your preferences, lifestyle, and desired level of maintenance. We then tailor the technique and product recommendations to match.
Mix of classic and contemporary skills
From straight-razor shaves and scissor work to modern clipper-fade techniques and scalp design, we blend tradition and modern trends to craft looks that are both stylish and durable.
Family-friendly approach
We welcome clients of all ages. Parents appreciate our calm and efficient kids’ services; men and women value our precision; seniors receive respectful, patient service.
Reliable scheduling
With online Fresha booking, phone bookings, and walk-in flexibility, we accommodate busy lives. Click-to-call functionality on our site makes spontaneous contact easy.
Our Team and Culture
N The Cutt operates with a small-team mindset focused on friendly, attentive service rather than high-volume turnover. Our barber builds professional relationships with clients, remembering preferences and offering practical maintenance tips. We value ongoing client feedback and use reviews from Facebook, Google, and Yelp to refine our approach. The shop atmosphere is welcoming—clean chairs, clear communication, and an efficient cadence that respects your appointment time.
