More information

What's Included

Everything needed for a sharp, wearable result.

  • Consultation to agree length, shape and finish.
  • Precision cut with scissors and/or clippers, including scissor-over-comb where needed.
  • Blending, tapering and neckline tidy for clean edges.
  • Style and finish with heat and product for hold and definition.
  • Simple product and maintenance advice tailored to your hair.

Who It's For

For gents who want a clean, confident look that works at work and off duty. Ideal whether you prefer a classic, low maintenance cut or a modern, more structured style.

Suitable for straight, wavy, curly or coarse hair. Also a good choice if you are managing a cowlick, receding hairline or thinning areas and want a flattering, balanced shape.

Duration & Appointment Timing

Allow around 30 to 45 minutes for a standard cut and finish. First-time visits or a full restyle may take a little longer for consultation and detailing.

Arrive with clean, dry hair if possible. Bring reference photos if you have a specific look in mind so we can align on length, shape and finish quickly.

Aftercare & Maintenance

Wash 2 to 3 times per week, depending on hair type. Use a small amount of product and work it through from back to front, then refine the finish at the fringe and sides.

Dry hair in the direction you want it to sit. A quick mist of water in the morning can reset the shape. Rebook every 3 to 5 weeks to keep edges neat and the silhouette strong.

    I had a gents perm, and a cut done. I was really impressed by the quality of the service by James, and how lovely everyone in the salon was. I will definitely be coming back!

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens during a Gents Cut and Finish?
We start with a short consultation to agree length, shape and finish. Your hair is cut with scissors and/or clippers, then styled with product for a clean result.
Should I wash my hair before the appointment?
If possible, arrive with clean, dry hair so we can see your natural growth and texture. Avoid heavy product beforehand as it can affect precision.
Can you work with curly or textured hair?
Yes. We use techniques suited to your curl pattern and density, focusing on shape, balance and ease of styling. You will receive tailored product advice for definition.
How often should I book to maintain my style?
Most cuts stay sharp for 3 to 5 weeks, depending on length, fade and growth. We can set a maintenance plan that fits your routine and styling goals.
What if I am not sure what style suits me?
Bring any photos you like and we will guide you. We consider face shape, hairline, density and lifestyle, then recommend options that work day to day.
