Perfect for: 
– Modern Fade styles 
– Clean, sharp high-contrast looks 
– Clients wanting the boldest fade option

The Fade is a high-precision, high-contrast haircut designed for clients who want the cleanest and sharpest finish possible. This service starts right down to Zero or Skin at the base, gradually transitioning into longer lengths through detailed clipper work and smooth, consistent blending. Your barber shapes the fade to suit your head structure, preferred style, and how you like your hair to sit, whether you choose a low, mid, or high placement. Every edge, contour, and line is refined for a crisp, polished result that stays sharp throughout the week. The Fade offers a bold, modern look that stands out while still remaining clean and professional.

Perfect for: 
– Clients wanting a tidy haircut and structured beard 
– Classic short-back-and-sides styles
 – Anyone needing a full grooming refresh

The Classic Trim + Beard Trim is a complete grooming service designed for clients who want a clean, balanced haircut paired with a well-structured beard finish. The Classic Trim refreshes your short-back-and-sides style with precise clipper and scissor work, natural shaping, and tidy contours that keep your look sharp without changing your overall style. Your barber then focuses on your beard, refining the silhouette, controlling bulk, and creating clean, defined lines that complement your haircut and face shape. The beard is shaped with a combination of clipper and scissor work to maintain fullness while achieving a controlled, polished appearance. Neckline and cheek lines are sharpened to give structure without making the beard look overly harsh.

Perfect for:
 – Students wanting Zero or Skin Fades 
– Clean, modern styles 
– Students wanting a sharp look at a student-friendly price

Including student friendly price

The Student Fade is a sharp, modern haircut designed for students who want a clean, precise fade at a discounted price. This service includes either a Zero Fade or a Skin Fade, tapering smoothly from the shortest length into longer hair with expert blending and crisp detailing. Your barber customises the fade’s height and style — whether low, mid, or high — to suit your features, hair type, and how you prefer your hair to sit day-to-day. Edges and contours are refined for a tight, polished finish that stays sharp throughout the week. The Student Fade balances efficiency with attention to detail, giving students a professional-quality fade without the premium cost. It’s ideal for maintaining a fresh, confident look that works for school, uni, work, sport, or social life.

Student Fade

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

Including student friendly price

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.

Student Re-Style (Over 4-8 Weeks)

Perfect for: 
– Elderly pensioners only 
– Classic, practical men’s styles

The Senior Trim is a gentle and professional haircut service created exclusively for elderly pensioners who want a clean, comfortable, and easy-to-manage style at a pension-friendly price. This service is specifically reserved for senior clients, ensuring they receive a respectful, relaxed experience tailored to their needs. The Senior Trim focuses on providing a tidy refresh with steady, careful clipper and scissor work that maintains your preferred length and shape while keeping the haircut soft, balanced, and natural. Your barber takes the time to understand how you like your hair to sit, ensuring the result feels light, neat, and practical for everyday living.
