FAQ

Quick answers, before you book.

  • Do you take walk-ins?

    Sure. We keep a chair or two open most days. If you want to guarantee a time though, book. Especially Thu, Fri, Sat after 4pm.

  • How long does a cut take?

    Forty-five minutes for a haircut, give or take. Add-ons stack on top: a haircut plus beard clean-up runs about 1h 15m. You'll see the total time before you confirm.

  • Can I book a haircut and a beard trim in one visit?

    Yes. Pick your main service on the booking page, then tick any extras below the date picker. One appointment, back-to-back in the same chair, one confirmation email.

  • Is there parking on Devonshire St?

    Metered street parking on Devonshire and Marlborough. Wilson car park at 88 Buckingham St is a 4-minute walk. L1 light rail stops right at our door.

  • Do you cut kids' hair?

    Yes. Same chair, same prices, same service. Kids from about age 5 up. If it's their first cut in the chair, tell us. We'll take our time.

  • What payment methods do you accept?

    Cash, card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Afterpay. All welcome.

  • What's your cancellation policy?

    Forty-eight hours' notice keeps things easy. Cancel inside 24 hours or no-show and we charge 50% of the service. Prince still loses the chair time either way.

  • I've never had a fade before. How do I book?

    Just book the Haircut. Come in, tell us what look you're after (a photo helps), and Prince will read the room. Zero pressure. Skin fade, low fade, taper. We'll figure it out at the chair.
