Beard trim and line up in Glen Alpine, near Campbelltown

Before anything is cut, tell Jonah how full you want the beard, where the neckline should sit and any patchy areas you want to work around. Face shape plays a part as well: extra length on the chin can make a round face look longer, while keeping the sides short stops a square jaw looking wider. The guide to beard shapes walks through the options before you book.

As an add-on, it pairs with anything on the menu, at standard menu prices:

• Men's haircut $35 plus beard trim $15: $50.
• Men's Fade $40 plus beard trim $15: $55.
• Beard $15 plus cut throat shave $10: $25.

Booking hair and beard together means one timed appointment and edges that match. Every price is also on the pricing page.

A beard trim on its own is a quick way to stay sharp when your hair does not need cutting yet. Book on the booking page up to 30 days ahead and at least 2 hours before, call 0415 990 995, or DM @clipper_culture_ on Instagram. Other options are on the services page.

If you are growing a beard from scratch, give it a few weeks to fill in before the first shape. More growth gives more to work with when setting the neckline and cheek line, and avoids cutting a line too early in an area that is still coming through.
