Barber shaping a fade with clippers in a barbershop
Every cut starts with a conversation about the shape you want.

The list

What we do

Tap any service to open it. Prices are quoted when you book, because a skin fade on thick hair and a quick tidy-up aren't the same job.

01 Skin Fade

The cut the shop is built around. Clippers go all the way down to the skin at the sides and back, then we blend upward through the grades until the transition disappears. Done properly it takes longer than people expect — most of the work is in the blend, not the first pass.

Tell us where you want the fade to start: low, mid, or high. Low keeps more weight and grows out quietly. High sits above the temple and reads sharper for longer. If you're not sure, we'll show you on your own head before the clippers touch it.

  • Low, mid and high fades
  • Bald fade, taper fade, drop fade
  • Line-up and edge work included
  • Finished with a hot towel and a light oil
02 Beard Trim & Shape

A beard looks deliberate or it looks like you forgot about it, and the difference is the outline. We map the cheek line and the neckline to your jaw rather than a template, take the length down evenly, and clean up the edges so it holds its shape as it grows back.

Straight-razor finish on the neck and around the ears. Hot towel first, so the hair lifts and the razor doesn't drag. If you're growing it out, we'll shape it to the length you're heading for instead of cutting it back to where it is now.

  • Cheek and neckline mapping
  • Straight-razor edging
  • Hot towel and beard oil finish
  • Add it to any haircut, or come in for it alone
03 Kids Cuts

First haircuts, school cuts, and the ones where the child has decided they want a pattern in the side. We go at their pace. If that means stopping halfway for a minute, we stop halfway for a minute — a rushed kid is a cut nobody's happy with.

Parents are welcome to sit alongside. We'll ask what the school allows before we take anything off the sides, so you don't get sent home over a line-up.

  • First haircuts, with a keepsake of the first lock
  • School cuts kept within uniform rules
  • Simple patterns and partings
  • Quiet, unhurried chair
04 Cut & Beard, Together

The full reset: fade, line-up and beard shaped in one sitting so the two actually meet. Hair and beard cut separately by different people on different days is how you end up with a gap at the sideburn.

Book this one when you've got somewhere to be — a wedding, a shoot, a first day. It's the version of you that photographs well.

  • Skin fade plus beard shape
  • Line-up and neck finish
  • Hot towel, oil, and a brush-out
05 Line-Up / Edge-Up

For the week between cuts. We take the hairline back to crisp, clean the temples and the neck, and send you out looking like you've just been in the chair — because you have, for fifteen minutes.

Worth knowing: a line-up every week on a hairline that's already receding will pull it back faster. If that's your situation we'll tell you, and we'll do a softer edge instead.

  • Hairline and temple edging
  • Neck clean-up
  • Walk-in friendly when the chair is free
06 Hot Towel Shave

The old way, done properly. Warm towel to open the skin, lather, a straight razor with the grain and then across it, a second towel, and a balm to close. Twenty minutes where nobody can reach you.

Come in with a few days of growth — a shave on a fresh shaved face is just irritation. If your skin is sensitive, say so at the start and we'll work with a lighter pass.

  • Two hot towels
  • Straight-razor shave
  • Cooling balm finish

How a visit works

We run on appointments, not queues. Message the shop on WhatsApp with the day and roughly what you want, and we'll reply with a time. If you're passing and the chair is free, we'll take you — but the booked slot always goes first.

  1. 1

    Message us on WhatsApp

    Tell us the day, the time you'd like, and which service. A photo of your current hair helps more than a description.

  2. 2

    We confirm a slot

    You'll get a time back, usually within the hour during opening hours. If the day is full we'll offer the nearest one that isn't.

  3. 3

    Come in and sit down

    Arrive at your time, not early. We'll talk through the shape before anything gets cut, then it's your half hour.

Straight answers

Questions we get a lot

Do I need an appointment?

It's how we'd recommend it. Booked slots are held, so you're not sitting around. Walk-ins are welcome when the chair is free, and we'll always tell you honestly how long the wait is rather than guess.

How much does a cut cost?

Prices depend on the service and how much work the shape needs. Message us on WhatsApp with what you want and we'll quote you before you book — no surprises at the chair.

Can you work with my hair type?

Yes. Fades behave differently on straight, wavy and tightly coiled hair, and the grades we use change accordingly. Tell us how your hair usually grows out and we'll cut for that, not for a photo.

How often should I get a fade?

Most people come back every two to three weeks. A line-up in between stretches it further. If you're growing something out, come in anyway — we'll shape it toward where it's going instead of cutting it back.

Do you cut children's hair?

We do, and we're patient about it. First haircuts included. Let us know the child's age when you book so we can give the slot enough time.

What if I don't like it?

Say so before you leave the chair. We'd rather adjust it while you're here than have you live with it for three weeks. That's also why we talk the shape through first.
