Our Story

Built on trust,
patience & the
perfect cut.

Eric Massie has been shaping Charlottesville for over two decades — one cut at a time. From a toddler's first haircut to a sharp fade before a big day, Cavalier Barbers treats every client like family.

Black-owned and community-rooted, we're more than a barbershop. We're a comfortable chair, a good conversation, and a cut you'll always come back for.

Eric has been cutting my hair for 8 years. He modified my Army style and made it more stylish. My wife loves it — and so do I.

Best haircut I've ever gotten. Got an afro taper and it looks better than I imagined. Easily manageable and feels great. 100% recommend.
