find the style that fits you.
Our team is committed to listening and working with you to give you the perfect cut.
Finding The Right Haircut For You:
In order to find your perfect haircut, you must take into account factors like face shape, hair texture, and of course, the type of vibe you want to give off.
Other items to consider are what level of maintenance you are willing to put into your look as well as the lifestyle you lead.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
We suggest always providing your barber with a reference image whenever possible. A photo of the haircut you’re hoping for will greatly simplify communication.
A great haircut begins with a great consultation, if your barber/stylist does not seem interested in taking the time to understand what you want then you should find another barber!

Consider Your Natural Hair:
Not every haircut will work on every head or with every type of hair. Men with curly hair can pull off styles men with straight hair could never dream of and vice versa. So take into consideration the locks you were born with.
A good barber/stylist can help direct you to a style that will work with your hair type.

The Razor Fade:
You can ask for your fade to end high on the sides and back (High Fade), low (Low Fade), or at the temples (Temple or Brooklyn Fade).
