Barber & Shaving Process

Looking for a fresh haircut or a clean, close shave? Our barber & shaving service near you are designed to give you a sharp, stylish look and a relaxing grooming experience. Here’s what you can expect when you visit our barber shop.

Quick Links

Consultation

  • Purpose: We start by understanding your preferences and the style you want to achieve.
  • Discussion: We’ll talk about your lifestyle, hair type, and any specific concerns you might have.
  • Assessment: We’ll examine your hair and scalp condition to recommend the best haircut and grooming techniques for you.

Preparation

  • Hot Towel: We start with a hot towel treatment to soften your facial hair and open up your pores.
  • Pre-Shave Oil: A layer of pre-shave oil is applied to protect your skin and provide a smooth base for the razor.

Shaving Techniques

  • Lathering: We use a rich, warm lather applied with a shaving brush to lift and soften your beard.
  • Straight Razor Shave: A straight razor is used for a close, precise shave, following the natural direction of your hair growth.
  • Multiple Passes: We typically perform two to three passes (with, across, and against the grain) to ensure the closest shave possible.

Detailing and Finishing

  • Trimming: We’ll trim the edges and neckline for a crisp, clean look.
  • Thinning: Thinning shears are used to reduce bulk and add texture if needed.
  • Final Touches: We’ll make any necessary adjustments to ensure your beard is perfect from all angles.
  • Styling: We’ll apply styling products to help you maintain your new look.

Post-Shave Care

  • Blow-Drying: Your hair will be blow-dried straight to reveal the initial results of the treatment.
  • Flat Ironing: We’ll use a flat iron to further seal the treatment and achieve the desired level of straightness.
  • Rinsing: Rinse the face with cold water to close the pores and remove any remaining lather.
  • Aftershave: Apply an alcohol-free aftershave balm or moisturizer to soothe the skin and prevent irritation.
  • Clean Up: Clean the razor thoroughly, dry it, and store it properly to maintain its condition and hygiene.
