Every cut starts with a conversation

Ten minutes, never rushed

Before anything is cut, we look at how your hair grows, where it sits flat and where it fights back. We ask how long you spend on it in the morning and what you did not like about the last cut. Then we agree on a shape you can actually keep. Bring a photo if you have one. A few honest words are just as good.

The consultation

Step one

Parting, crown, cowlicks and neckline. We check the things that decide how a cut grows out, and we tell you plainly if a style will fight your hair.

Good hair isnever anaccident.

The shape

Step two

Clippers for the sides, scissors for the weight on top and a trimmer for the outline. A fade is built slowly, one guard at a time, and checked in the mirror from every side.

The finish

Step three

A hot towel on the neck, a clean razor line and only as much product as you would use yourself. We show you how to dry it so it looks the same at home tomorrow.
