The classic cut
Forty-five minutes, $34, any of the five chairs. The cut most people come back for every four weeks, done the same careful way each time.
What the 45 minutes hold
- Two minutes of talk first. Length, parting, how you wear it on a weekday, a photo if you have one. The barber repeats it back before the cape goes on.
- Wash at the basin with a short scalp massage, then a hot towel while the chair is set.
- Scissor over comb through the top, clippers and a guard on the sides and back, blended into each other by hand.
- Straight razor on the neck and around the ears, with hot lather, so the edges stay clean for a fortnight.
- Dried and styled with a matte clay, a pomade or nothing at all, and shown in the hand mirror from behind.
Who cuts it
All five barbers take the classic cut. Marco and Nils are the scissor specialists; Elias and Theo keep the sides tighter; Dani is the one to book for a child's first cut or long hair.
