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.
