Cut to the Chase Barbershop · Design Study

Direction B — Salt & Sepia

Black-and-grey tattoo flash by way of a Puget Sound port town: engraved capitals, hand-script, anchors and rope, photographs pushed to tintype sepia. Same shop, older soul. Three hero treatments below — pick one and I'll build the full site on it.

B1 · TintypeAged paper, oval portrait plate, ink on cream. The barbershop as a 19th-century storefront.

Established on the Sound · Port Orchard, Washington

B2 · DrydockDark and warm. Sepia duotone photography, brass rules, engraved caps. Closest in weight to the red direction, opposite in temperature.

B3 · Ship's LogSplit ledger page. Ruled paper and engraved type on the left, sepia portrait on the right. Strongest for hours, addresses and the two-shop story.

All three use the same palette, type and ornament set — they differ only in how the hero is staged. B1 and B3 can also live inside B2 as interior sections, so choosing one hero doesn't throw the others away.
