The fade you asked for.
Agreed out loud before the clippers come on, then written down so the second visit matches the first.

Open [Tuesday to Saturday, 9am to 7pm]. Call and we'll name the next open chair.
You booked 2pm. You sat down at 2:40.
Then the cut is rushed, because the chair is running behind and so is everyone after you. We hold fifteen minutes between appointments and we do not double-book a barber. Turn up at your time, sit down at your time.
One great cut. Then a worse one.
The visit that made you a regular, followed by the one that nearly lost you. After your first cut here, your guard numbers, your part, your neck line and how you wear the top go on file. Say "same as last time" and it means something.
Your chair is
open.
Call and tell us the day. We will give you the next open chair and the name of the barber sitting in it. Send a photo on WhatsApp first if you have one, so the fade is agreed before you get here.
Three numbers that decide whether you come back
Anyone can say they are good. These are the three the shop is held to, and the only ones worth putting on a website.

Out of five, across [312] reviews on Google. Read a few before you call. Most people will not book a shop under four stars, and they are right not to.
15 min
Held between every appointment. It is the reason a chair running late does not roll onto your slot, and the reason nobody rushes the last ten minutes of your cut.
7 days
If the fade is not what you agreed in the chair, come back inside a week and we put it right at no charge. You should not pay twice to fix a barber’s work, ours included.
The quiet times, so you are not sat waiting
Half of all complaints about barbershops are about waiting. Saturday runs about three times as busy as Monday here, and Friday and Saturday together take most of the week. If your week bends, these are the hours you walk straight in.
Walk straight in
- [Tuesday and Wednesday, 9am to noon]
- [Thursday before 2pm]
Call ahead
- [Friday after 3pm]
- [All day Saturday]
- [Weekday evenings after 5pm]
Walk-ins are always welcome. Call first and we will tell you what the wait actually looks like, rather than letting you find out in the chair.
The cuts people come here for
-
Taken to nothing at the bottom and blended up clean, with no shelf and no line where the guards changed.
Skin fade, and what it costsSkin fade
-
Short at the neck and the sideburn, longer as it climbs. The one that still looks deliberate three weeks later.
Taper fade, and what it costsTaper fade
-
Shaped to your jaw rather than to a template, edged with a straight razor, finished hot.
Beard and hot towel, and what it costsBeard and hot towel
-
A first haircut, a school fade, or a kid still deciding whether he trusts the clippers.
