AJ’s Cuts

The art of the cut.

I’m a fade specialist in Columbus, Ohio. I finish every skin fade, taper, drop and burst with a sharp line-up.

From clients who booked with me on Setmore, in their own words.

  • Hands down one of the best barbers I’ve ever had. Super skilled, patient, and welcoming. I always feel comfortable here, and my haircut comes out exactly how I want it. Great energy, great service, and great results every time.

13+ years of cutting hair

I’ve been cutting hair for over thirteen years, and fades are what I love most. I work through each guard until the blend is smooth, then finish with a clean line-up.

Bring a reference photo or just describe what you’re after. I’ll talk it through with you before I start. The consult is part of the cut, and so is the line-up.

I’m Jerry, the barber behind AJ’s Cuts. See my latest cuts on Instagram, @mrblendz614 (opens in a new tab).
