about

Interior of a barbershop with a white tiled reception counter, a black bar stool, a potted plant on the counter, a black menu board on the wall listing services and prices, an orange barber shop pole sign, and a glass door with sunlight and shadows cast on the wall.

Chairs Barber Studio is a grooming and wellness space offering haircuts, skin treatments, and wellness consultations.

Taking care of yourself is an act of intentionality. It's saying that you matter, that your health matters, that showing up fully in your life matters.

There's something sacred about the ritual of self-care when it's done with purpose and understanding.

We believe every person deserves access to exceptional grooming and holistic health support.

    RYAN BEAVERS

    CO-FOUNDER, BARBER

    Ryan moved to San Francisco in 2006 to pursue his MFA in painting, after finishing that program he eventually found himself apprenticing at a high volume shop for years before becoming a barber. Ryan brings the same meticulous attention to detail from his fine art practice to the barber chair. In 2020, he and Lyssandra relocated to LA with a vision to create a barbershop that functioned as a living art project—a space where culture, design, health, and grooming converge. In 2025, they made it happen with Chairs.
