Every hair type

Straight, wavy, curly or afro. Done properly.

A great barber reads your hair before they pick up the clippers. Sam, Star and the team cut every texture every day: tight drop fades on afro hair, tapers that keep curls defined, scissor work on straight hair, part lines, shape ups and beard detailing.

It is why clients travel in from Tonbridge, Pembury and over the East Sussex border, and why so many of our regulars have been in the same chair for years.

Would recommend to any people with black afro hair to go here.
