Maple Ward · Est. on the corner
Two chairs, one price list, no upselling. Short back and sides, skin fades, scissor work and hot-towel razor finishing — booked by the half hour so nobody is rushed out.
Price list
One list for both chairs. The time shown is the time booked, including the consultation and the finish. Nothing is added once you are in the chair.
Card and cash both fine at the chair. Students and anyone over sixty-five take $4 off any chairwork service, Tuesday to Thursday, no card needed.
Request a chairHow a visit runs
If you have never sat in our chair, this is the whole thing start to finish. You will not be handed a tablet or asked to pick from a menu of add-ons.
We look at how your hair actually grows, where it sits now, and how long you want to go between cuts. If what you are asking for will not hold on your hair, we will say so and offer the closest thing that will.
Most cuts start at the basin. Dry cutting is available on request and is the default for the clipper tidy and for most under-fourteens.
We stop twice — once at the guide length and once before the lines are set — so you can speak up while it is still easy to change. Mirrors at the back as standard.
Lines cleaned with the razor, hot towel on the neck, and a short note on how to get the same shape at home with what you already own.
The chairs
We cut differently, and that is the point. Pick the chair that suits the work you want, or leave it to whoever is free — both of us cut the full price list.
Chair one · Clipper work
Fourteen years on the clippers and happiest in a fade that has to be sharp from every angle. Ask Rafe for skin fades, flat tops, tight tapers and anything where the line matters more than the length.
Chair two · Scissor & razor
Trained in scissor-over-comb and never really left it. Ines takes the longer tops, the grown-out shapes that need rescuing, curl and cowlick problems, and every hot towel shave on the list.
Hours & walk-ins
Mornings keep room for walk-ins. Afternoons run on booked chairs so the half-hour slots stay honest.
Questions
Yes, between 10:00 and 12:00 Tuesday to Friday. Those slots are deliberately left unbooked. Saturdays and all weekday afternoons run on requested chairs only, because a walk-in in the middle of a booked run pushes everyone after it back.
Send the request by Wednesday for the Saturday you want. Saturday is eight hours against two chairs, so it fills first. If both barbers are full we will offer you the nearest Friday evening slot rather than leave the request sitting.
Up to ten minutes and we will still do the full service. Beyond that we will cut what fits cleanly into the time left, usually the cut without the wash, and charge the lower price. We would rather shorten the service than rush the finish.
Always. Name Rafe or Ines on the booking request and we will only offer you days that barber is in. If you have no preference, say so — it usually gets you a slot one or two days sooner.
No, and you do not need the right words for it. Bring a photo if you have one, or just tell us how often you want to come back and how much effort you are willing to put in each morning. The first five minutes of the appointment exists for exactly this.
Yes. Under-fourteens get a thirty-minute slot at a lower price, dry by default, and a first cut gets a full thirty minutes so nobody is hurried. Morning slots are quieter and tend to go better for younger children.
Consultation, wash, cut, razor lines, hot towel and the dry finish — all of it is in the number on the price list. Nothing on this page is an add-on in disguise, and we do not price styling product into the service.
Reply to the confirmation email and we will move it, no charge and no questions. There is no deposit to lose. If you cannot make it at all, telling us the evening before means the slot goes back on the walk-in board for someone else.
