The Hair Wash is a relaxing add-on service designed to complement your haircut, trim, or fade. This service includes a thorough shampoo and rinse to cleanse the hair and scalp, remove product build-up, and prepare your hair for styling. It’s a simple, refreshing wash that leaves your hair feeling clean, light, and ready for your appointment — perfect before or after a trim or fade, or just to freshen up after a long day.
Perfect for:
- Preparing your hair before or after a cut or fade
- Freshening up after work, sport, or school
- Anyone wanting a clean, refreshed feel before styling
Scissor Cuts and Restyle Haircuts
These services are best for longer hair, overgrown styles, detailed scissor work, and clients who need more shape, texture, or a full haircut reset.
Re-Style Haircut (Over 4-8 Weeks)
The Re-Style (Over 4-8 Weeks) is a full reset haircut designed for clients who have let their hair grow out for longer than four weeks and need a more detailed, transformative trim. This service focuses on removing a significant amount of bulk, rebalancing the shape, and rebuilding the structure of your haircut from the ground up. Your barber takes the time to assess your current growth, your preferred style, and how your hair naturally sits in order to create a fresh, clean, modern look that suits your features and lifestyle. Because the hair has grown out beyond a standard maintenance trim, this service allows for more thorough scissor and clipper work, re-establishing clean lines, smooth blending, and well-defined contours.
Perfect for:
- Clients who haven’t had a cut in 4-8+ weeks
- Removing bulk and refreshing an overgrown style
- Anyone wanting a full, clean reset
Scissor Cut
The Scissor Cut is a refined, traditional haircut crafted almost entirely with scissors for clients who prefer a softer, more natural finish. This service focuses on shaping the hair with precision and control, allowing your barber to tailor the cut closely to your head shape, growth patterns, and preferred style. By using scissor work instead of heavy clipper use, the result is a more fluid, textured, and personalised look that grows out gracefully and maintains its shape for longer. Your barber gently removes bulk where needed, balances the silhouette, and creates clean yet natural transitions throughout the cut. The Scissor Cut is ideal for medium to longer lengths, layered cuts, and clients who want movement, flexibility, and a more classic approach to haircutting.
Perfect for:
- Medium to long men’s styles
- Clients preferring natural texture and movement
- Anyone wanting a personalised cut with minimal clipper work

Hot Towel Shave
The Hot Towel Shave is a classic, relaxing grooming service designed to support a smooth, clean shave with careful preparation and steady razor work. Your barber begins by applying a warm towel to soften the beard and prepare the skin for a close shave. The warmth helps make the shave feel more comfortable, while controlled razor strokes remove facial hair for a polished, refreshed look. A second hot towel may be applied as part of the service, followed by a cool finish or moisturiser to leave the skin feeling clean and settled.
Perfect for:
- Clients wanting a clean, traditional razor shave
- Sensitive skin needing a gentle, warm preparation
- Anyone seeking a calming, barbershop grooming experience
Trimmer Face Cleanup
The Trimmer Face Cleanup is a simple, efficient service designed to remove facial hair using a trimmer only — with no blade work and no beard shaping included. This service is ideal for clients who do not want a beard style or tidy-up, but simply want their face cleared of hair in a clean, comfortable way. Your barber uses a trimmer to take down facial hair to a short, even stubble or near-clean finish, depending on your preference, while avoiding razor lines or detailed contour work. It is a straightforward facial hair removal service for clients who want their beard or stubble taken down without booking a full shave.
Perfect for:
- Removing all facial hair with trimmer only
- Clients avoiding blades or razor shaves
- Anyone wanting a clean, simple, no-shape face cleanup

Buzz Cut + Beard Trim
The Buzz Cut + Beard Trim is a clean, straightforward grooming combination ideal for clients who want a low-maintenance haircut paired with a well-defined beard. The Buzz Cut uses a single clipper guard to take the hair evenly all over, creating a tidy, uniform finish that grows out neatly and requires minimal styling. Edges and the neckline are refined to keep the haircut looking sharp from every angle. The service then transitions into a Beard Trim, where your barber sculpts and controls the beard’s fullness through detailed clipper and scissor work. Bulk is reduced, lines are balanced, and the neckline and cheek lines are shaped cleanly to complement the simplicity of the buzz cut.
