Taking it back olde school style since 1991

Sean opened the first Olde Tyme back in 1991 and brought the same shop to Ocean City in 2011. Classic chairs. Straight razors. Hot lather. Fresh coffee on the pot. The kind of barbershop your grandfather knew — run the way it ought to be run, and the way it always will be.

What our customers say

Real reviews from real customers on our Facebook page. Here's what the people who sit in our chairs have to say.

This place did a great job cutting our boys' (4 & 2 y.o.) hair! Our oldest was putting up a fight with us to even get a haircut, but the barber was very friendly and talked him through the haircut so he knew what to expect. We will definitely go back every time we are out this way vacationing!

Very friendly and clean. Haircut looks great. Didn't take very long at all.

Walked in today and met Nick. Great job. Will definitely return to him when I need a haircut and I'm in OC.
