A Gents Shampoo, Cut and Finish is a complete men’s haircut appointment that starts with a proper cleanse and ends with a neat, wearable finish. It is designed to refine the shape, sharpen edges, and leave hair sitting well from day one, with practical styling advice to keep it looking controlled between visits.

More information

What’s included in a Gents Shampoo, Cut and Finish

A considered cut is more than taking length off. This service focuses on clean lines, balanced proportions, and a finish that suits how you actually wear your hair.

  • Consultation on your current style, growth patterns and how you like to style day to day.
  • Shampoo cleanse to remove product build-up and prep the hair for accurate cutting.
  • Precision cut using scissor and clipper work where appropriate to control weight and shape.
  • Detailed work around the ears, sideburns and neckline for a tidy outline.
  • Finishing and styling to check movement, sit, and symmetry from every angle.
  • Simple product guidance so the style is easy to recreate at home.

Best for maintaining short back and sides, neat crops, and longer scissor cuts

This appointment suits men who want a consistently tidy silhouette and a finish that looks deliberate rather than overgrown. It is also a good choice if your hair is changing in texture, thinning, or becoming more unruly, as the cut can be adjusted to sit flatter, softer, or cleaner at the edges.

How your shampoo, cut and finish is delivered

You will start with a quick conversation about what is working, what is not, and how much time you want to spend styling. The shampoo is followed by structured cutting to build the shape, then final detailing and styling to ensure the cut holds its form once dry.

After the cut: keeping the shape looking sharp

Most gents keep the outline and proportions looking best with regular maintenance, often every 4 to 6 weeks depending on length and how crisp you like the neckline. Between appointments, the right product choice and a simple drying technique can help the style sit correctly without extra effort.

    Simon is a brilliant hairdresser and a wonderful person! He is so fantastic at styling my hair and gave me the confidence to change my style after the last 15 years and give me a refreshed look which everyone has been commenting on. He is also fantastic at styling my husband’s hair and always takes the time to listen to your thoughts and run through what look/treatment you are going for. The salon is super friendly, everyone is really lovely and they truly go above and beyond to accommodate you, even when it’s last minute! I cannot recommend Simon more highly - make sure you pop in for blow dry and/or cut…you won’t regret it! Thank you Simon, you’re a star! X

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a Gents Shampoo, Cut and Finish include a consultation?
Yes. The appointment starts with a brief consultation to confirm the shape you want, how you style it, and any areas you want kept tighter or left softer. This helps ensure the finish suits your hair growth and routine.
Can you work with both scissor and clipper cutting?
Yes. The method depends on the style and your hair type, and can include scissor work, clipper work, or a combination. The aim is a clean shape with balanced weight and a tidy outline.
How often should I book a gents cut to keep it looking neat?
Many men book every 4 to 6 weeks to keep the neckline and sides looking sharp. If you prefer a slightly grown-in look or wear it longer on top, you may be comfortable stretching to 6 to 8 weeks.
Will you style my hair at the end?
Yes. Hair is finished and styled so you can see how the cut sits when worn, and so any final adjustments can be made. You will also get straightforward advice on what to use at home for the same finish.
Can someone book this service for their partner?
Yes. If you are booking for someone else, it helps to note their usual style and whether they prefer a sharper neckline or a more natural, softer edge. The consultation on the day will confirm the details.
