More information

What's Included

A focused service that tidies and refines your existing haircut.

  • Brief consultation on style, growth patterns, and maintenance goals.
  • Precision dry cut using clipper and scissor techniques.
  • Tapering, neckline and sideburn tidy for a sharp outline.
  • Light styling to reveal the shape, with product guidance.
  • Fresh cape and sanitised tools for hygiene.

Who It's For

Ideal for short to medium lengths that need a tidy or shape refresh. Great if you prefer no wash and want minimal time in the chair. Not suited to dramatic restyles or long, heavily textured hair.

Duration & Appointment Timing

This appointment typically takes around 15 minutes from chair time to finish. Please arrive with clean, product-free hair so we can cut accurately. If you want a bigger change or detailed work, tell us when booking so we can allow the right time.

Aftercare & Maintenance

  • Style on dry hair with a small amount of matte paste or cream.
  • Book every 3 to 4 weeks to keep edges crisp. Fades may need a tidy every 2 to 3 weeks.
  • Avoid heavy wax if your hair is fine, as it can flatten volume.
  • Comb or brush into place and use low heat to set the shape.
  • If anything feels off after your visit, contact us and we will help.
