Bald Head Shave
A smooth, close head shave with hot towels and a razor for a clean, polished finish.
Shaving your own head never quite matches the barber’s chair. We take it down with the clippers, prep the scalp with hot towels and oil to soften the skin, then finish with a razor for a genuinely smooth, close result with none of the nicks and missed patches of doing it at home. A cooling towel and a soothing balm calm the skin and leave your head clean, polished and comfortable. Add a beard shape or wet shave to make it a full reset.

Head Shave — your questions answered
Straight answers to the questions we hear most. Still unsure? Give us a call — we are happy to help.
I have sensitive skin — is a hot-towel shave still for me?
Yes, and done properly it is often kinder than shaving at home. The hot towels and pre-shave oil soften the hair and skin, we shave with the grain to reduce irritation, and we finish with a cooling towel and a soothing balm. Let your barber know about any sensitivity and they will adjust the products and technique to suit you.
Do you take walk-ins, or do I need to book?
Both. Walk-ins are always welcome and we keep chairs free for them every day — but Saturdays and late afternoons get busy, so we recommend booking online to guarantee your slot and skip the wait. If you have a barber you prefer, booking is the surest way to get them.
How do I book an appointment?
The quickest way is to book online through our booking system — pick your service, your barber and a time that suits you, and you are set. You can also call the shop or message us, and of course you are always welcome to simply walk in.
Can I pay by card?
Yes. We take all major debit and credit cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay, as well as cash. There is no minimum spend and no card surcharge.
