01The appointment
  1. 01

    We look at your hair dry, before anything is picked up, and talk about how you wear it on an ordinary Tuesday rather than how it looks the day of a cut.

  2. 02

    The shape is cut in first — length, weight and outline — then the detail work: the neckline, around the ears, the corners.

  3. 03

    Wash and towel, then styled with something matched to your hair rather than whatever is nearest.

  4. 04

    Before you get up, we show you the back and say plainly how to keep it that way.

Book this if

  • A first visit, when you are not sure what to ask for
  • Any length that is not being kept short with a fade
  • Anyone who wants the barber to decide the detail, in the chair

Worth knowing

  • If what you actually want is skin-tight sides, book The Fade instead — same care, more time set aside for the blend.
  • Bring a photograph if you have one. The same haircut name means five different things to five different people.
