What barbering covers

Clipper and scissor work, fades, line-ups, beard shaping and hot-towel shaves. Barbers usually run shorter appointments than salons and many keep same-week availability.

• Haircuts and fades
• Line-ups and edge-ups
• Beard trims and shaves
• Kids' cuts
• Color and gray blending

Worth asking when you book: whether a beard trim is included with a cut or priced separately.
