Fade

& Blade
We talk first. Then we cut.
Most bad haircuts get agreed to before anyone picks up a clipper. Two minutes settling what your hair already does on its own, and how much time you will actually give it in the morning.
Which way it grows
Your crown spins one way and won't be talked out of it. Cut against it and you'll be wetting it flat every morning until it grows out.
How long you've got
Ninety seconds of product, or none at all. Tell us straight and we cut a shape that holds without it.
Written on your card
Guard numbers, part side, neckline. Come back in eight weeks to a different barber and get the same head.

The Fade
The whole job is the blend
Skin up to a number two happens inside about a centimetre of scalp. Four guard lengths, three blends, and no line you can see between any of them. Get one wrong and it shows in daylight for a fortnight — so it gets checked in three mirrors, warm light and cold, before the chair turns round.
Five cuts. One price each.
No tiers, no packages, nothing added at the card reader. Tap one and it fills itself into the form at the bottom.

Then the chair turns round.
Hot towel out of the cabinet, second lather, one pass along the hairline with the razor. Four minutes nobody photographs and everybody notices.
It is why people come back every three weeks instead of every three months.
