Hair and Beard in Chelmsford
Getting your hair and beard done together is not just two jobs booked back to back. The two need to work with each other, and the lines where they meet are where most barbers get lazy.
We shape the beard to suit the cut and your face, and blend the join at the sideburns properly so there is no hard edge between the two.

What you get
The haircut first, then the beard shaped around it. Cheek line, neckline, length through the sides and chin, all set to suit your face rather than to a template.
The join between your sideburns and your beard gets blended, not cut into a line. That single detail is the difference between a beard that looks deliberate and one that looks stuck on.
Everything gets checked at the end. Stray hairs on the neck, ears and brows sorted, and you see the back in the mirror before you leave.
Who it suits
Anyone who wants the whole thing to look considered rather than two separate jobs. It is also the easiest option if you are growing a beard out and are not sure what shape to take it in, because we can advise as it develops.
If your beard grows patchy in places, say so. We will work with the growth you have got rather than cutting to a shape that exposes the gaps.
Keeping it right
Beards grow faster than most people expect, and the neckline is usually the first thing to go. If you are tidying it yourself between visits, keep to the line we set rather than creeping upwards, which is the most common way a good beard shape gets lost.
Three to four weeks is a sensible gap for hair and beard together. We will show you how to hold the shape at home if you want.
Questions
Hair & Beard, answered
- How much is hair and beard in Chelmsford?
- Hair and beard together is £25 with Tom, £30 with Tiago and £32 with Jackson. Adding a skin fade instead of a classic cut takes it to £30, £33 and £35.
- Is it cheaper to have both done together?
- Yes. Booking hair and beard together costs less than the two services separately, and the result is better because the beard is shaped to match the cut.
- What if my beard grows patchy?
- Tell us and we will work with the growth you have. There are shapes that make patchy areas far less obvious, and cutting to the wrong one is what makes them stand out.
