Gents Cut and Fnish

From £25
30 Min

Merluza in Birmingham delivers a sharp, camera‑ready gents cut and finish that wears well beyond the chair. In 30 minutes we map head shape and growth, select the right clipper guards or scissor techniques, then refine and style with precision.

You leave with clean lines, balanced shape, and a clear at‑home plan. Straight, wavy, curly, or coily hair is welcome. We design to your lifestyle so it looks good on day one and still behaves in week four.

More information

What’s Included

A complete service from consult to finish, tailored to your hair and routine.

  • Consultation that maps head shape, growth patterns, cowlicks, and neckline choice
  • Clipper guard plan or scissor over comb, with precise blending
  • Fade or taper refinement and perimeter detailing
  • Blow‑dry and product selection for your style goal
  • Finish polish with technique coaching for home
  • Rebook guidance for 2 to 6 weeks, depending on style and growth

Who It’s For

Men and anyone seeking a clean, confident cut with a refined finish. Ideal for fades and tapers, classic scissor cuts, textured crops, or growing out with shape. Works for all hair types and densities, including fine hair needing structure and thick hair needing weight control.

If you have sensitive scalp or prefer quiet, minimal chat, tell us at booking and we will set the pace and products accordingly.

Duration & Appointment Timing

This service is scheduled for 30 minutes. Arrive with clean, dry hair if possible for the most accurate read on growth and density. First visits include a focused consultation within the booking window. Running late can reduce finishing time, so aim to arrive a few minutes early.

If you are planning a big change, add a note when booking so we can allocate the right slot.

Aftercare & Maintenance

Style lasts longer with the right routine. Use a light pre‑styler for control, finish with a matte paste or cream, and protect from heat when blow‑drying. Rebook every 2 to 6 weeks based on fade tightness and growth rate. Edge‑ups between cuts keep the hairline sharp. Ask for tailored product advice at checkout.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work with all hair types and textures?
Yes. We cut straight, wavy, curly, and coily hair, and adjust sectioning, elevation, and tool choice to your texture and density. If you have specific concerns like cowlicks, fine hair, or bulk removal, mention them at check‑in so we can target them.
What fade levels and necklines can I choose?
We offer low, mid, and high fades, tapers, or classic scissor finishes. Necklines can be natural, mid, or high, with squared or rounded corners. We map head shape and hairline in the consult, then confirm the guard plan before we start.
Is a patch test required for this service?
No. Haircuts do not require a patch test. If you add a colour service or toner to your visit, a patch test is required at least 48 hours before your appointment. We can schedule that when you book.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
Arrive with clean, dry hair styled roughly how you usually wear it. Bring a reference photo if helpful. Avoid heavy product build‑up so we can read your growth pattern and density accurately during the consult.
How often should I maintain a gents cut and finish?
Most fades and tight tapers are best every 2 to 4 weeks. Classic scissor cuts or longer styles typically suit 4 to 6 weeks. We will give you a personalised rebook window based on your growth rate and desired shape.
