House rules
The Fade Bros. standard
Four promises painted on the wall of both shops. Hold us to them.
-
01
Hot towel, every time
Every cut finishes with a hot towel and a straight-razor neck shave. Even the $25 buzz.
-
02
Clean tools, every client
Combs and guards are disinfected between clients and every shave gets a fresh blade.
-
03
On time or $10 off
If we keep a booked client waiting more than 10 minutes, the next $10 is on us.
-
04
Free fix for 7 days
Not quite right? Come back within a week and we’ll tidy it up, no charge, no questions.

“Tariq gave my six-year-old his first proper fade and somehow kept him still for 30 minutes. We have a standing appointment now.”

“Rosa is the first barber who actually knows what to do with my curls. Cut dry, shaped right, and it still looks good a month later.”
