45 minutes
Taken down to the skin and walked back up with no line left behind. Cut dry so the fade is read in the light it will actually be seen in, then finished round the ear and the neck by razor.

The craft
Select a service to read more45 minutes
A softer drop through the sides with weight kept on top. The everyday cut — sharp for the first fortnight, still wearable at the fifth week.
45 minutes
No machine near it. Length removed section by section so the shape holds as it grows out, for longer hair, heavier fringes and anyone growing something back.
50 minutes
Crops, quiffs and anything that needs movement rather than a set shape. Point-cut through the top to take weight out without taking length, then styled with as little product as it can stand.
30 minutes
Shaped to the jaw rather than to a straight line, cheek and neck set by razor, hot towel to finish. Add it to any cut or take it on its own.

Ian cuts on his own, by appointment, which is the whole point. One chair means the fade gets the time it needs and nobody is being rushed out for the next name on a list.
Time behind the chair has gone into one thing: fades that sit flat against the head, and texture that still looks cut rather than styled once the product is washed out.

Low light, one chair, a record on more often than not. You're in for the cut and the conversation that comes with it, and there's no queue watching you from the bench.
