Precision Cutting & Styling

Precision cutting that starts with a real consultation: shape built around your face, your texture and the ten minutes you have.

A cut that still works on a Wednesday morning

A good cut is the one that still works on a Wednesday morning when you have not got time to do anything with it. That sounds obvious and it is where most cuts fall down: they look right in the chair, under salon lights, after twenty minutes of someone else blow drying them.

So we ask how long you actually spend on your hair before we start. Two minutes and a ponytail is a legitimate answer, and it changes what we cut. So does whether you air dry, whether you use heat, and how your hair behaves in humidity.

That conversation is the part most salons skip, and it is the reason a precision cut is a different thing from a trim. Cutting properly is a technical discipline, covering structure, weight distribution, and how a shape behaves three months in as it grows, rather than taking length off the ends and sending you on your way.

Wayne leads the cutting side of the salon as Creative Director, and the team cuts across every length and texture, from fine hair that needs its weight left in to curls that have to be cut for the way they spring up when they dry.

What's involved

The variations we offer within specialist cutting, and what each one is for.

The consultation

Done on dry hair, before anything is washed, because wet hair hides the growth patterns, the cowlick and the way your hair actually falls. We look at face shape, texture, density and how you wear it day to day, and we agree the shape before a single section is taken.

Precision cutting

The technical work: structure, weight distribution, balance and internal shape. Cut so the line stays true as it grows out rather than collapsing after a fortnight.

Restyle

A significant change of shape or length. Longer appointment, longer consultation, and we will show you how to style it before you go.

Curly, fine & textured hair

Hair that does not behave like the picture. Curls consulted dry and cut for shrinkage, fine hair cut to keep the weight it needs, thick hair debulked without losing the shape.

Dry: consulted before anything is washed
Silicone-free: Davines and Pure through the basin and the finish
6–12 weeks: between cuts, depending on the shape
Creative Director: Wayne leads the cutting side of the salon

What goes on your hair before the scissors do

Cutting is the one service where the products barely get a mention, which is odd given every cut starts with a shampoo and finishes with something in your hair.

We use Davines and Pure through the basin and on the finish: organic, low-tox, and free of the silicones that coat hair to make it feel smooth while quietly building up on it.

The practical upside is that your hair behaves the same at home as it does here, because there is nothing on it that you cannot replicate with what is on your own shelf.

How we work

How the appointment runs

So you know what you are walking into, and roughly how long to allow.

Consultation

Dry, before anything is washed, so we can see how your hair actually falls, where it parts and which way the crown wants to sit.
Wash & scalp massage

Organic shampoo and conditioner matched to your hair, and a proper massage rather than a token one.
The cut

Sectioned and cut to the shape we agreed, checked on both sides and through the back before we call it done.
Style & handover

A blow wave, plus a straight answer on which products and which brush will get you the same thing at home.

Specialist Cutting questions

The things people ask us most about this service.

Do you cut curly hair?

Yes. Curly hair is consulted on dry so we can see the curl pattern before anything is wet, and cut to work with the shrinkage rather than being surprised by it.

What happens in a cutting consultation?

We start with your hair dry and unwashed, because that is the only way to see how it really falls: where it parts, where the growth patterns push it, and how much weight it is carrying. We talk through what you want, what your hair will do, and how much time you give it in the morning, then agree the shape before anything is cut. It is not a formality; it is where the cut is actually decided.

How often should I get a cut?

Six to eight weeks for a short shape that relies on precision, ten to twelve for longer hair where you are mostly keeping the ends healthy. Growing it out is not a reason to skip cuts: split ends travel upward.

Can I bring a photo?

Please do. It tells us more in five seconds than five minutes of description. We will be honest about which parts of it will work on your hair type and which will not.
