Stage 1 · Consultation
What you want and what your hair allows.
Our services, in detail
Four services, all starting with a consultation.
Program 01 · For your hair, not the photo
Cuts, fades and restyles
Bring the photo — it tells us what you like. Then we will say honestly whether your hair texture, density and hairline will do that, and what gets closest. Two minutes of that conversation is the difference between a good cut and an awkward month.
Stage 2 · Agreed
Length and shape settled first.
Stage 3 · Cut
Checked with you as we go.
Stage 4 · Aftercare
How to keep it, and when to return.
Stage 1 · See it dry
Growth pattern and shrinkage.
Stage 2 · Honest shape
What will hold without daily work.
Stage 3 · Cut dry
So the shape is the shape.
Stage 4 · Products
Only what you actually need.
Program 02 · Cut dry, shaped to growth
Textured and Afro hair
Curly and Afro hair behaves differently wet and dry, so cutting it wet means guessing at the finished shape. We cut dry, work with the growth pattern and shrinkage rather than against them, and we will not sell you a shape that needs daily work to hold.
Program 03 · Single-use blades, always
Beards and hot towel shaves
A beard line cut too high looks sharp today and wrong in a fortnight, so we set it where growing out stays tidy. Blades are single use, every time. Tell us about skin conditions, cold sores, recent facial treatments or blood thinners first — sometimes the answer is not today.
Stage 1 · Check
Skin, conditions and medication.
Stage 2 · Shape
Lines set to grow out well.
Stage 3 · Shave
Fresh single-use blade.
Stage 4 · Finish
Cooled, soothed and checked.
Stage 1 · Patch test
At least 48 hours beforehand.
Stage 2 · Hair history
Previous colour, henna or bleach.
Stage 3 · Realistic plan
One visit, or more than one.
Stage 4 · Aftercare
What to use and what to avoid.
Program 04 · No patch test, no colour
Colour
The patch test is not a formality. Reactions to colour can be severe and can develop in people who have had it done for years, so we will decline a service where the test is out of date — which occasionally annoys people and is not negotiable.
Due a cut?
Book a chair, or walk in and we will fit you in when one is free.
