What clients near Romford say
“Booked the hot-towel wet shave as a treat before my wedding and honestly it was the most relaxing 45 minutes I have had in years. The hot towels, the cut-throat razor, the lot — closest shave of my life and my skin felt great after. Proper old-school barbering done right. Cannot recommend it enough.”
“Was going quite grey at the sides and Aaron talked me through the grey blending — so glad I did it. Looks completely natural, nobody can tell I have had anything done, they just say I look well. Quick to do and he added it onto my normal cut. Knocked a good few years off. Brilliant.”
Everything we do, from Romford
Skin Fades
The cut we are known for. Crisp skin, low, mid, drop and high fades, blended flawlessly with clipper-over-comb precision and finished with a razored neckline.
Scissor Cut & Style
A timeless scissor cut for natural length and texture. Shaped by hand, tailored to your hair and finished with a wash, style and product to suit your day-to-day.
Beard Trim & Sculpting
Shape, line and refine your beard with clippers, scissors and a cut-throat razor. Defined cheek and neck lines, a hot-towel finish and beard-oil conditioning.
Hot-Towel Wet Shave
The traditional barber experience. Layered hot towels, a rich lather and a cut-throat razor for the closest, smoothest shave — finished with cooling balm.
Kids’ Cuts
Friendly, patient barbering for children. From a nervous first cut to a sharp fade for the older ones, in a relaxed chair with barbers who are great with kids.
Grey Blending & Colour
Soften the grey without going obvious. A quick, natural-looking colour blend for hair and beard that takes the edge off and leaves you looking sharp, not dyed.
Bald Head Shave
A proper bald head shave. Clippered down, hot-towel prepped and finished with a razor for smooth, clean skin — far closer and kinder than doing it yourself.
Student & OAP Cuts
A sharp, proper haircut at a friendlier price. Discounted cuts for students with a valid ID and for over-65s, available Tuesday to Thursday.
