A student does the work and an instructor checks it before the cape comes off. Every service takes longer than it would in a shop.

How the clinic works

  1. 01

    Step 1: Book a time

    Choose a time on the booking page. A student takes longer than a shop barber, so the page shows how long to allow.

  2. 02

    Step 2: When you arrive

    Sign in on the board at the door. If a chair is open you can walk in; waits vary, and the board shows who is next.

  3. 03

    Step 3: What to expect

    A student cuts and an instructor checks the work, sometimes twice, before the cape comes off.

On the floor

A student cuts, an instructor watches

You get a careful cut from someone learning to do it well, with an instructor close enough to step in.

Students move from mannequin heads to clinic clients only when their instructor says they are ready, so you will see a range: some quick and sure, some slow and careful. All of it is checked.

  • Every cut checked before the cape comes off

  • Tools cleaned and disinfected between clients

  • A new blade for every shave

A student's hands guide a clipper and a comb along the side of a mannequin head with a short tapered cut

About the clinic

Can I walk in?

Sometimes. Most cuts are booked, and when a chair is open we take walk-ins in the order they arrive.

How long will it take?

Longer than a shop cut. The times on this page are what to allow, and an instructor's check is part of that time.

Can I ask for a certain student?

You can ask when you book. Who cuts your hair depends on who is on the floor that day.

Do you cut every hair texture?

Yes. We cut waves, coils, curls, twists and straight hair.
