The cuts
Fades and lineups, with the minutes
How long each one takes, and how soon most people come back.
- 45–60 min
Skin fade
Clippers down to the skin at the bottom, blended up through the sides and back. Cut on coils, waves, curls or straight hair.
Back in 2 to 3 weeks
- 40 min
Taper fade
Shorter at the neckline and around the ears, with length kept above. The easy first fade, and one that wears well under a hard hat.
Back in 3 to 4 weeks
- 45 min
Drop fade
The fade line curves down behind the ear instead of running straight around. It sits well on waves and coils.
Back in 2 to 3 weeks
- 20 min
Lineup and shape-up
A crisp edge along the forehead, temples and neckline, with the beard line if you wear one. Quick, and a good one between fades.
Back in 1 to 2 weeks
- 30 min
Waves and texture upkeep
A cut that keeps a wave pattern or coils even: clippers with the grain, a clean edge, and a word on how to care for it between visits.
Back in 2 weeks
- 20–30 min
Beard shaping
Cheek line, neckline and shape with trimmers, then a razor edge. Add it to a cut or book it alone.
Back in 2 to 3 weeks
The barbers
Three barbers, three ways to book
Each one works different days. Book by name, or take whoever is next.
Works Tuesday to Friday. Lead style: tapers, classic cuts and beard shaping. Cuts at an easy pace and is the one regulars ask for when they want it done right the first time.
Works Wednesday to Saturday. Lead style: crops, tapers and designs. Cuts a lot of students, and keeps a chair for first-time fades.
Before you come in
Questions we hear at the door
Do I need an appointment?
No. Walk in during open hours and sign the board by the door. Or book a barber by name and be seen at your time.
How does the line work?
Clients are taken in the order they sign the board, and a booked client is seen at the booked time. Waits vary; the board shows who is next.
How long does a fade take?
A skin or taper fade runs 40 to 60 minutes. A lineup alone is about 20. Every service on the menu shows its minutes.
Can you cut my hair?
Yes. We cut coils, waves, curls, twists and straight hair, and every barber here does fades.
How often should I come back?
Most fades hold their shape for two to three weeks, a taper every three to four. Your barber will tell you what yours needs.
Can I book a certain barber?
Yes. Each barber has a Book button on the barbers page, and booking holds your time with no deposit.
Come in before your shift
We open at six Tuesday to Friday and at seven on Saturday. Book a chair, or walk in.
