The other shop
Before you come.
Yes, whenever a chair is free. Appointments are always served first, so a walk-in on a Saturday afternoon usually means a wait and a weekday morning usually means none at all.
If you want a specific barber at a specific time, book it. That is the only way to be certain.
Book The Cut. It covers a consultation, a scissor-and-clipper cut, wash and finish, and it is the appointment most people need.
If your barber sees something else fits better once you are in the chair — a fade, more scissor work, beard included — they will say so and adjust it there. You will not be charged for the wrong thing because you guessed.
Read the roster. Each barber lists what they actually specialise in — skin fades, textured and coily hair, scissor work on longer hair, straight razor, kids — and their recent work sits on their page.
If you would rather not choose, book any chair. Everyone here can cut a good head of hair; the specialisms are about who is fastest at what you specifically want.
Up to about ten minutes, we will still cut you — it just comes out of your appointment, because the person after you booked their time too.
Past that we will usually have to rebook you. Call the shop rather than guessing; if the day is quiet we will make it work.
Yes. The Junior Cut covers twelve and under, and several of the barbers take them happily — June takes the most of them and has the patience to prove it.
First haircuts are welcome. Mention it at booking so enough time is set aside.
Metered street parking runs along Chapel and Orange. Temple Street Garage is a four-minute walk and validates after 6pm.
At the Whitney Avenue shop there is a free lot behind the building, entrance off Waite Street.
Cards, contactless and cash. Tips can go on the card.
