Afro and textured hair barbering in Dudley

What good textured hair barbering involves

Afro and textured hair does not behave like straight hair, and cutting it well starts with reading what is in front of you. Curl pattern and density vary from person to person, and often from one part of the head to another, so a good barber works with the way your hair grows rather than forcing a shape onto it.

Fading textured hair cleanly takes patience. The blend from skin up to length has to be smooth, with no visible steps, and the top has to be shaped so it sits well with the fade beneath it. Line-ups and shape-ups are the finishing touch: a crisp hairline and neat edges around the temples and neck that frame the face and keep the cut looking sharp for longer.

Reading the hair, blending the fade and finishing the line-up are the three things a good textured hair cut comes down to, and they are the three things we take our time over.

Cuts, fades and beard work

Three prices worth knowing. A skin fade or taper fade is £20. A shape-up or line-up is £10 if the hairline needs sharpening before the next full cut. A haircut with beard is £25 if you want both done in one visit.

Cuts for children and young people, a beard trim on its own, and hair designs and patterns are all listed with prices on our services page.

Locs, retwists and starter locs

Locs are part of what we do, not an afterthought. Our loc services include starter locs from £60, a loc retwist from £40, a retwist with style from £55, and loc styling from £15. These are from prices, because the final price may vary depending on hair or loc length, density and the amount of work required.

Every hair type, one standard

Craft, culture and community are the three words the shop is built around, and they show in the work, cut by cut.

You do not need Afro hair to book here. If your hair is straight, wavy or fine, you will get the same standard of work in a modern, professional and welcoming environment, whether that is a fade, a beard trim or a first haircut for your child. Read more about us or browse our gallery.
