Practical notes for everyday grooming.
Before your cut: explain your preferred look
Choose one or two photos that show your preferred length and fade. Tell your barber how you usually style your hair and how much time you spend on it, so you can agree on a cut that suits your routine.
When styling: start with a small amount
Follow the styling product’s instructions. Start with a small amount spread between your hands, then add more gradually if needed to control the hold and finish.
Before trimming your beard: choose the length carefully
Comb your beard in its natural direction and begin with the longest suitable trimmer guard. Shorten gradually and check the shape from the front and sides before the finishing touches.
For your moustache: comb, then tidy
Comb your moustache before trimming so its ends are clear, and decide how much hair to keep above the lip. Use small cuts and check each side in turn to maintain the shape.
