Appointments usually last 30 to 45 minutes, including consultation, hot towel prep, lathering, the straight razor passes, and finishing treatments. Allow extra time for beard shaping or skin-care add-ons to achieve the best, comfortable results.

Yes. Our barbers use pre-shave oils, steam, and premium creams to soften hair and protect skin. We adjust blade pressure and angle, and skip areas prone to irritation. Discuss allergies or conditions during consultation for a tailored, safe shave.

No need to trim; we handle trimming and shaping as part of the service. If your beard is very long, we may lightly trim to allow a closer, smoother razor pass. Mention any style preferences during booking.

Frequency depends on hair growth and desired look. Many clients book every one to two weeks for a consistently clean finish; others prefer every three to four weeks. We'll recommend a schedule based on your growth pattern and skin response.

We use salon-grade pre-shave oils, hot towels, and rich, lubricating shaving creams selected for skin type. After the shave, we apply antiseptic alum where needed, a soothing aftershave balm, and a hydrating moisturizer to reduce irritation and lock in comfort.

Often yes, but it depends on the condition. Inform your barber about acne, rosacea, or recent procedures. We may modify technique, use gentler products, or recommend postponing until healed to avoid complications and ensure safe shaving.
