Cuts and shaves
Every price, how long it takes and which guards it uses. Not sure what to ask for? Show us a photo or tell us your number.
Chips show what each cut uses: 0 to 8 are clipper guards, S is scissors, R is the open razor. Example prices.

Questions at the chair
What is the difference between a fade and a taper?
A fade blends down to skin or a very short guard all round the sides and back. A taper only shortens the hair at the sideburns and the neckline; the sides stay longer.
How often should I come back?
Every two to three weeks for a skin fade, four to six weeks for a scissor cut. Beards hold their shape for about two weeks.
Do you cut curly and afro hair?
Yes. Every barber cuts curly and afro hair; Tomás and Dev are the ones to ask for longer curls on top.
Can I bring a photo?
Please do. A photo and your guard number are the quickest way to get the cut you want.
Walk in, or book a chair
Tuesday to Saturday. Walk-ins until an hour before closing; a booked chair is held for ten minutes.
