Owner & Master Barber

Kory Patterson

Kory has been barbering for more than fifteen years. He opened K Lawrence in Napa, California in February 2012, built a loyal following there, then brought the shop to Old Town San Diego — a neighborhood with the kind of history he wanted behind the chair.

Every haircut finishes with a straight razor and your choice of a hot towel or a wash. No rush and no upsell. Sit down, tell him what you are after, and walk out sharp.
