What you’re looking at

Four kinds of work,
one chair.

Fades & tapers

Low, mid and high skin fades, tapers that stop short of the skin, and the blend in between where the real work is. Curly, straight, fine and coarse hair all fade differently. Skin fades are a 30-minute, $45 booking; a taper comes inside a men’s haircut at $40.

Beards

Cheek line, neck line, length taken down evenly and blended into the sideburns so the beard and the haircut read as one decision. Booked with the cut as Haircut & Beard Trim, $60 for 45 minutes, or with a buzz as Buzz Cut + Beard Trim at $45.

Kids

Tapers, fades, textured crops and hard parts on clients ten and under, in a quiet one-chair room. Kids’ haircuts are $35; the Father & Son hour covers both of you for $75.

Designs

Stars, geometric nape work, razored parts and the occasional full-colour piece. Designs are freehand and quoted in the chair — mention one when you book so the slot allows for it. Ask on Instagram if you have a reference.
