In the land of the mighty oaks, an acorn rests at the bottom of two hills. The Nut is your neighborhood barbershop. We are open Monday through Saturday by appointment.

Ryan is a native of North Carolina and has lived most of his life in and around the Raleigh area.

He completed his B.F.A. in Studio Art at Appalachian State University. He then went on to further evolve his artistic nature by enrolling into Harris Barber College, where he graduated in 2013. Ryan has a rich heritage in the barber industry. His grandfather, RC Batten, also worked as a barber in Raleigh. In May of 2018, Ryan’s goal of owning his own barbershop became a reality, and he opened The Nut Barbershop on Brookside Drive.

Justin Dare has opened two salons in Raleigh, co-created a hair product line and worked 20 years as a hairstylist. Now, he's bringing his expertise to focus on the barbering world and is thrilled to join The Nut Barbershop doing cuts, beards and more!

When he's not behind the chair doing what he loves, he's probably off camping with friends, fishing, kayaking or checking out the new local food scene.

From an early age, Raleigh native Devin has been a creative person with a passion for working with people. She decided to pursue barbering for its fusion of the two and went on to attend barber college after graduating high school. From there she joined The Nut Barbershop in February of 2019 and is very excited to bring her love for the art of barbering to Raleigh!  

In her free time, Devin enjoys spending time with her wife, Rachael, and their two dogs. She also loves to cook and play guitar! 

Originally from Pittsburgh, PA, Rebecca has happily called Raleigh her home since 2014. Graduating from Mitchell's Academy in 2017, Rebecca fell in love with haircuts and the art of shaving. In her free time, she enjoys being outdoors, cooking, and spending time with friends & family.
