Open chairs are posted every Sunday evening, and Thursday late shifts are running again until 8pm.
Request a chair
A small shop built around one idea: nobody should leave the chair unsure what to do with their hair tomorrow morning. Clippers, shears and a hot towel — and time to talk it through first.
Every price below covers the consultation, the wash and the finish. No surcharge for thick hair, long hair or a second pass at the neckline.
Our standard appointment. Scissor or clipper work, wash and towel dry, then dressed with whatever you actually own at home.
£28
Graduated from bare skin up, blended by hand at the top. Includes a hairline clean-up and a note of the guard numbers used for next time.
£32
A full cut followed by beard shaping — outline, cheek line and length graded to the jaw, finished with hot towels and balm.
£46
Pre-shave oil, lathered with badger brush, two passes with a fresh blade, cold towel and a cooling finish. Not booked on the same visit as a fade.
£38
Between-visit maintenance: outline, neckline, moustache trimmed off the lip and a quick shape check in natural light.
£20
For children under twelve, in the quiet chair by the window. Scissors only unless a guardian asks otherwise, and breaks whenever they are needed.
£18
Grey blending, colour and chemical straightening are not offered here. If that is what you are after, we would rather say so now than start it badly.
Roughly the same shape every time, so a first visit holds no surprises and the result can be repeated.
Five minutes before anything is cut. We look at the hair dry, find the growth patterns and agree on lengths in numbers, not adjectives.
Warm basin wash with an unscented cleanser, plus a short scalp massage. Skipped on request if you are heading straight back out.
Sectioned and cut wet, then checked dry for weight and balance. We stop halfway and hand you the mirror while the shape can still change.
Dressed lightly, then we write down guard numbers, the parting side and a realistic return window on your card.
Three barbers share the four chairs. Request whoever suits the work — or leave it open and we will put you with the first free pair of hands.
Founder · Shears
Trained in classic scissor-over-comb work and still prefers it. Best booked for long-on-top shapes, textured crops and anything growing out of a bad cut.
Barber · Clipper work
Fast, exact and happy to explain every guard change as it happens. Ask for Marnie if you want a fade you can describe accurately to any barber, anywhere.
Barber · Razor room
Holds the straight-razor licence and runs the beard work. Keeps the slowest chair in the shop on purpose, and will talk you out of a beard shape that will not hold.
Four chairs, two basins and a bench by the window. Music stays low enough to hold a conversation across the room.
The six things people ask at the desk, answered here so the chair time goes on the cut instead.
Five to nine days covers most weeks. Saturdays fill first and usually need a fortnight's notice. If you need something sooner, say so in your request — cancellations reopen most mornings and we work through requests in the order they arrived.
No, and you don't need a photograph either. Come in with what you dislike about the current cut — too heavy at the sides, won't sit down in the morning, grows out badly after three weeks — and the consultation will get to a shape from there.
Yes. Curls are cut dry or damp rather than stretched flat, and coarse hair is graded with the growth pattern instead of against it. Idris takes most curly bookings and Marnie handles coarse hair and line-ups, so mention your hair type in the request and we will match the chair.
Please do. The First Cut appointment uses the quiet chair by the window, scissors only unless a guardian asks otherwise, and we stop whenever a break is needed. Children stay in the room with a guardian for the whole appointment.
Up to ten minutes late is usually absorbed. Beyond that we may need to shorten the finish or move you, because the next chair is already promised. Cancelling is free with a day's notice; just reply to your confirmation so the slot can be reopened.
Skin fades look sharp for about two weeks and tidy for four. Scissor cuts hold five to seven weeks, and longer shapes can stretch to nine. You'll get a realistic return window on your card, and it's advice rather than a subscription.
Send the request and a barber replies with two or three times that fit. Nothing is charged or held until you confirm one.
