Hairstyles that grow out better

Most barbershops sell the day-one cut. We try to sell the week-four cut — because that's where you'll spend most of your time with the haircut.

Soft tapers over skin fades

Skin fades look incredible on day one and grow into a visible line by day twelve. Soft and mid tapers grow out without that line.

Scissor cuts over clipper cuts

Scissor-cut hair grows out softer because there's no hard guard line built into the shape. The cut evolves; it doesn't break.

Length tolerance is built in

A great cut is designed for the range it will be worn through — not just the moment you leave the chair.
