Christopher Vacante is a third-generation family barber, following in the footsteps of his grandfather, father, and two uncles. Born and raised in Norristown, PA, Chris began cutting hair at just 12 years old. His very first haircut was given in his mother’s kitchen with a set of Wahl clippers, and from that moment barbering became his lifelong passion.

​

After years of honing his craft, Chris went on to work professionally in his family’s East Norriton barbershop. For almost 25 years he mastered traditional techniques and built a loyal following before deciding it was time to branch out on his own. That vision became Vacante's Style Parlor, where Chris introduced a fresh take on classic barbering, combining old-school craftsmanship with a new-school twist.

​

Today, Vacante’s Style Parlor has become a thriving barbershop in Norristown, known for delivering high-quality cuts and grooming services in a welcoming environment. Building on that success, Chris and his team are proud to announce a second location in Lafayette Hill, expanding their reach and continuing the family legacy.

At both shops, clients can expect more than just a haircut. They’ll find a community space where tradition meets style, and every detail is focused on making sure they leave looking and feeling their best.
