Who we are

Men are spending more on grooming than ever before. So why is there still such a shortage of service providers who understand what men what truly want—and need—in personal care?

Today, most men must visit three or four separate businesses to meet all their grooming needs. Why?

In Tennessee, barbers are licensed to provide a broad spectrum of grooming services—far beyond the traditional haircut and beard trim. So, why don’t more offer them?

The truth: many barbers lack either the interest or the confidence to go beyond the basics. Others simply aren’t comfortable offering more intimate or advanced services.

That is where we come in!

Vale & Thorn was founded to give men a private, elevated space—where every detail is intentional and every touch refined. No clutter. No waiting. No rushed assembly-line cuts. Just focused, expert care in a one-on-one sanctuary.

Master Barber Ammon Stotts has dedicated himself to the complete grooming ritual—from precision haircuts all the way down to smooth, manicured feet and toes. At Vale & Thorn, we offer full-body grooming as art and ritual.

Come see what it means to be fully seen.
