Mens Cut & Beard Trim

£45
45 mins

A Mens Cut & Beard Trim combines a full haircut with professional beard shaping in one appointment at our Handcross salon. After a quick consultation to understand your preferred style and length, we cut your hair using clippers and scissors, then trim and contour your beard to complement your face shape, finishing with clean necklines, cheek lines, and product styling for a polished, balanced result.

More information

What to expect during your appointment

Your visit begins with a conversation about hair length, beard shape, and how formal or relaxed you want the finished look. We use:

  • Clippers and scissors for precise haircut work that follows your head shape and growth patterns
  • Graduated guards to reduce beard bulk without removing too much length too quickly
  • Freehanding with trimmers to define jawline, chin, and sideburn contours
  • Sharp edge work along the neckline and cheeks for a clean, professional finish
  • Styling products (pomade, cream, or paste for hair; beard oil or balm to condition and shape)

The result is a haircut and beard that work together, giving you sharper lines and a more defined silhouette than you can typically achieve at home.

Who this service suits

This appointment is ideal if you maintain both hair and facial hair and want both handled by professionals in one visit. It suits:

  • Clients who want a balanced, polished look where hair and beard complement face shape
  • Those with busy schedules who prefer all grooming in one session
  • Anyone growing out a beard or changing styles who needs expert guidance on shape and proportion
  • Professionals or business owners who need to maintain a workplace-appropriate appearance with clean lines and consistent length

Whether you prefer conservative, softer styles or high-contrast fades with sharply defined beard edges, we tailor the cut and trim to your lifestyle and image goals.

Maintaining your look between visits

To keep your haircut and beard looking fresh:

  • Wash hair and beard with gentle shampoo and condition regularly to prevent dryness
  • Apply beard oil or balm daily to soften hair, reduce itch, and maintain shape
  • Moisturise skin after trimming or line-ups to soothe irritation and prevent razor burn
  • Avoid aggressive scratching or shaving over freshly edged areas
  • Book follow-up visits every 2–4 weeks depending on how quickly your hair grows and how sharp you want the style to remain

Bring reference photos or describe clipper guard numbers and beard fullness clearly when booking to ensure your expectations match the final result. Our team—including Lisa, Harry, and Barry—can advise on realistic beard shapes based on your density and growth patterns, and recommend products to help you replicate the finish at home.

    Went in for a gents wash and cut. Lisa did a great job and to be honest the whole experience was perfect. Communication via WhatsApp was quick and clear. I’ll definitely be back when I need another trim!

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a Mens Cut & Beard Trim take?
The appointment lasts 45 minutes, giving enough time for consultation, haircut, beard shaping, edge work, and product styling.
How much does a Mens Cut & Beard Trim cost?
The service is priced at £45 and includes both the full haircut and professional beard trim in one visit.
How often should I book a Mens Cut & Beard Trim?
Most clients return every 2–4 weeks depending on hair growth and how sharp they want their style to remain. High-contrast fades and defined beard lines need more frequent touch-ups.
What should I bring or prepare for my appointment?
Bring reference photos if you have a specific style in mind, or be ready to describe your preferred hair length (e.g., clipper guard numbers) and beard fullness. Mention any skin sensitivity or past razor burn so we can adjust techniques.
Can you shape my beard if it's patchy or thin?
Yes. Very patchy or thin beards often look better with shorter, more closely contoured styles. We'll advise on realistic shapes during your consultation based on your beard density and growth patterns.
What products do you use to finish the haircut and beard?
We use pomade, cream, or paste for hair styling, and beard oil, balm, or butter to condition and shape the beard. We can recommend products for you to use at home.
How do I maintain my haircut and beard between visits?
Wash hair and beard with gentle shampoo, condition regularly, and apply beard oil or balm daily. Moisturise skin after trimming to prevent irritation, and avoid shaving over freshly edged areas.
Can I get advice on transitioning my beard or hair style?
Absolutely. If you're growing a beard out or switching from long to short hair, we can discuss a longer-term plan and guide you through the transition over several appointments.
Do you offer this service for all face shapes?
Yes. Certain haircut and beard combinations can lengthen, sharpen, or soften features depending on your face shape. We'll advise on the best balance for you during consultation.
How do I book a Mens Cut & Beard Trim at your Handcross salon?
