The Craft

Three things we refuse to rush

Every service starts with a consultation and ends with a finish you can repeat at home.

Precision Cuts

Scissor work, tapers and skin fades mapped to your head shape and hair growth.

Straight Razor Shaves

Hot towels, lather, cold finish. The ritual our grandfathers would recognise.

Beard Sculpting

Line-ups, shaping and conditioning oils for a beard that holds its edge.

Word of mouth

What the chair hears

Best fade I've had in fifteen years. They actually listen before they cut.

Tom R.

The hot towel shave is worth the trip alone. Feels like a private club.

Andre P.

Booked online, seated on time, out sharp in forty minutes. Faultless.
