Before your shave
Tell your barber the finish you want before the service begins. Mention any areas that are sensitive or irritated, and any product allergies, so you can discuss the service before getting started.
If you are booking a haircut as well, bring a reference photo or explain the length and shape you want. Explore haircut options before choosing the combined service.
Looking for the full PHD Experience?
The PHD Experience is a separate package. It combines a haircut with your choice of a beard trim or a shave, plus two hot towels, a facial massage and three facial creams. Check that package if you want those additional facial-care steps.
Frequently asked questions
How is a Royal Shave different from a beard trim?
A beard trim keeps facial hair and refines its length or shape. Choose the Royal Shave when you want a clean-shaven finish.
Can I book a haircut and shave together?
Yes. Select Haircut and Royal Shave from the service menu when booking, so your appointment includes both services.
Where can I find the current price?
Our Services & Pricing page lists Royal Shave and Haircut and Royal Shave separately. Check the displayed price in the booking system when choosing your appointment.
