Nº 02The cuts
Three things we get asked for most, what they involve and what they cost. The price is the price: no extras added at the till.

Clippers down to the skin, blended by hand until there is no line to find. Finished with a hot towel and a mirror at the back.

Two hot towels, lather worked in with a brush, then a cut-throat razor, with the grain and then across. Cold towel to close.

Texture on top, tight on the sides. We cut curls with the curl, not against it, and tell you how to keep them at home.
Nº 03How it works
If a chair is free you sit down. Most quiet mornings, most of the week.
Saturdays fill up by Thursday. Book online and you are in.
Ask for whoever cut it last time. We keep a note.
Nº 04Book
Pick the cut, pick a time. No account, no deposit. If something comes up, ring and we will move you.
