Knoxville has a way of making you feel at home. From the first time I set foot here, I could sense the pride, the hospitality, and the strength of this community. The beauty of the Smokies, the warmth of the people, and the Volunteer spirit all create a sense of belonging you can feel the second you arrive. It reminded me of the hills I grew up around in California, but Knoxville carries its own spirit—one that’s hard to put into words.
My family and I are honored to call this place home. We see this as our community now, and we’re here for the long haul.
Every haircut and every conversation is a way to build relationships and contribute to the fabric of this city. I deeply respect the work ethic, family values, and loyalty I’ve experienced from the people here—it’s something special. Knoxville has welcomed us, and I’m grateful for the chance to give that same welcome back in everything I do.
We look forward to growing alongside Knoxville for years to come, doing our part to keep this city the special place it is!
Cut to the Chase exists to help men feel confident in every part of life. We believe a haircut isn’t just a haircut—it’s an experience that sets the tone for how you show up at home and at work. That’s why we focus on clean, precise cuts, meaningful connections, and service done with integrity. We care about more than the end result; we care about the person in the chair. We value trust, consistency, professionalism, and a welcoming atmosphere where clients of all ages feel comfortable.
Our goal is simple: Give you more than a great cut—give you the confidence to take on whatever’s ahead.
Cut to the Chase delivers precise, custom-crafted haircuts and grooming experiences for men by combining classic barbershop traditions with modern techniques—building genuine relationships and helping clients feel confident and empowered for every part of life.

Barbering has been a part of Chase’s life since he was a kid. He was the one lining up his friends in the garage before school dances, buzzing heads for pizza and laughs. After years in the restaurant industry, he felt an urge to pursue a dream more in alignment with his passion. So in 2015, he enrolled in barber school, and in 2017 he opened his first shop in Livermore, California. Chase poured his heart into every cut and as result the business grew rapidly.
Cut to the Chase quickly became a trusted name in town, known for its consistency and the personal connections built with each client. The shop thrived for over six years before he and his family relocated to Knoxville, TN to plant roots and bring that same level of craft and connection to this community.
We are committed to delivering the same level of quality, care, and professionalism every time you walk through our doors. This means listening to what you want, working with precision, and maintaining a space that is clean and comfortable. We take hygiene and safety seriously—tools are sanitized after each use, and the shop is reset for every client. We respect your time by staying on schedule, and we respect your trust by always giving our best. Whether it’s a simple trim or a full haircut and beard service, we want you to feel cared for from start to finish.
Walking into Cut to the Chase feels different. It’s not loud or chaotic. It’s not filled with distracting noise or unfiltered conversations. Instead, it’s a place where you can take a breath. The music is intentional, the space is clean, and the conversations are genuine. Moms feel comfortable bringing their sons, and men feel at ease knowing they’re in a place built with respect in mind.
It’s a nod to the classic barbershop atmosphere but modernized for today—a space where you can sit back, relax, and leave feeling sharp and renewed.
