Marcus Bellamy
Eighteen years behind the chair, from East Van to London and back. Marcus is the one to see for classic scissor cuts and straight-razor shaves.

Iron & Cedar
Precision cuts, down to the last screw.
01 — The blade
Sharpened every morning.
A fade is only as clean as the steel behind it. Ours is honed and zero-gapped before the first chair fills.
02 — The motor
Quiet power, steady hands.
Tools matter. The barber holding them matters more. Ours have 36 years behind the chair between them.
03 — The details
Every part has a job.
So does every minute of your appointment. No rushing, no double-booking, no surprises.

Services & prices
Good work. Fair prices. No upsell.
The tools of the trade
Eleven parts.
One clean line.
We strip, oil and reset every clipper in the shop each week. It's a small ritual, and it's the reason your fade looks the same on day ten as it did on day one.

About us
A neighbourhood shop, built the old way.
Iron & Cedar opened in 2014 in a hundred-year-old brick storefront on Carrall Street, a block from the steam clock. Marcus signed the lease with two second-hand chairs, a borrowed mirror and a simple idea: take your time, and get it right.
Eleven years on, there are three chairs and a lot more regulars, but the idea hasn't changed. Appointments are never double-booked. Every cut starts with a conversation and ends with a hot towel. The coffee is local, the playlist is good, and nobody will try to sell you product you don't need.
We cut hair for dockworkers and developers, grooms and grandfathers, first haircuts and fiftieth birthdays. Whoever you are, you're welcome in the chair.
- One client at a time. Your slot is yours.
- Tools sterilised between every client. No exceptions.
- Not happy? Come back within 7 days and we'll fix it free.

Word on the street
Regulars say it best.
★★★★★
Best fade I've had in Vancouver, and I've tried most of them. Dev actually listens, then makes it better than what you asked for.
★★★★★
Booked my wedding-morning shave with Marcus. Hot towels, straight razor, a glass of whisky. I've never felt sharper.
★★★★★
Elena is the only person who has ever understood my curls. My six-year-old now asks when we're going back.
