Men's hair, done properly - not just a trim
I've cut hair in London, Toronto, New York, Los Angeles, Minneapolis and Portugal before landing in Farnham, and one thing is consistent everywhere: men's hair is not a five-minute afterthought. A good cut is a good cut, whatever the length, and it deserves the same consultation and attention as any other service at The Establishment.
This is my honest guide to what we offer for men's hair here - modern cuts, classic cuts, and a service most men haven't heard of anywhere else: the Men's Reshade. You can read more about me and my background on my team page.
Modern textured cuts, tailored to you
Textured, personalised cutting is what I specialise in, and it's shaped as much by my background in fashion and digital marketing as it is by my time behind the chair - it keeps me looking at what's actually current, not just what was current five years ago. A modern textured cut isn't about copying a photo off a phone; it's about working with what your hair naturally does - its growth pattern, density and texture - and cutting a shape that moves well and grows out without losing its structure.
That means a proper consultation first. We'll talk through what you want, what's realistic for your hair, and how much time you're actually prepared to spend styling it at home - because a cut that needs twenty minutes and three products every morning isn't the right cut if that's not your life. We'll never touch your hair without agreeing that first.
Classic styles, still sharp
Not everyone wants the latest trend, and that's exactly as valid a request as anything else - a well-executed classic short back and sides or a clean, timeless finish still needs precision cutting to look right. Whether you're after something contemporary or something your barber would have done thirty years ago, the same rule applies: it should look good the day you leave and still hold its shape as it grows out, not just for the walk to the car.
Men's Reshades: discreet, quick, and genuinely useful
This is the service most men in Farnham don't know exists, and it's one of the most requested once clients discover it. A Men's Reshade is a discreet colour service that blends early grey - done at the basin, alongside your normal shampoo, in around five minutes. There's no separate "colouring appointment," no obvious salon visit dedicated to it, and nobody needs to know it happened.
That discretion is exactly why men like it. A lot of men are curious about softening grey but don't want a visible, drawn-out colour process that feels conspicuous. A Reshade solves that - it slots into a regular haircut appointment, takes a few extra minutes at the basin, and the result is subtle: less about changing your colour dramatically, more about taking the edge off grey so it looks a little more even and a little less ageing, without anyone clocking that you've "done something."
As with any colour service, there's a legal requirement for a colour allergy test 48 hours beforehand, so if you're curious, mention it when you book and we'll get that sorted ahead of your appointment rather than on the day.
An international background, now building a Farnham clientele
I've worked across five countries and with brands including AVEDA and Goldwell before settling into the Farnham chair, and I'm still building my client base here - which means there's always room to get a full consultation and the time your hair actually needs, rather than being rushed through. Clients have told us I'm good at putting nervous first-timers at ease, teenagers included, and that's exactly the atmosphere we aim for across the whole salon.
