About Us
Against the Grain Barbershop was founded on the belief that every community deserves access to premium grooming without the luxury price tag.
Marc, a former military serviceman, has been perfecting his craft for over four years, developing a sharp eye for detail and a commitment to excellence. After recognizing the need for high-quality, precision haircuts in the area, he set out to create a barbershop that blends top-tier service, affordability, and an inclusive atmosphere.
In March 2025, he found the perfect location in Dupont, WA, a community that values both professionalism and style. At Against the Grain, we specialize in premium fades, classic cuts, and modern styles, ensuring that every client—regardless of hair type or background—leaves with a look that’s tailored to their personality.
More than just a barbershop, Against the Grain is a space where craftsmanship meets community. Whether you're a local, a servicemember, or just passing through, you'll find expert barbers, a welcoming atmosphere, and a standard of excellence that speaks for itself.
Precision. Style. Professionalism. Because every haircut is more than just a cut—it’s a statement.

Moe
BARBER
Hey, I’m Moe—originally from Atlanta, GA. I’m a proud veteran, a father, and a barber who loves what I do. I’ve been licensed for a year now and work with all hair textures. Even though I’m new to the game, I’m always eager to grow, learn, and get better every day. My big goal is to one day open a barbershop that gives other barbers a chance to shine and helps connect with local small businesses. For now, I’m focused on giving clean cuts and building real connections—one client at a time.
