Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Head Shave.

Most head shaves take about 30 to 45 minutes depending on hair length, scalp condition, and detailing. We include consultation, cleansing, shaving, and soothing aftercare. Please arrive a few minutes early with any concerns.

Our barbers use warming, high-quality blades, and precise technique to minimize irritation. We prep the skin, apply soothing aftercare, and recommend gentle moisturizing and sun avoidance for 24-48 hours to reduce razor burn risk.

Frequency depends on how quickly stubble returns and your maintenance preference. Every 1–2 weeks keeps a smooth scalp; every 3–4 weeks produces a slightly lived-in look. We can suggest a schedule based on your hair growth.

Gently rinse and pat dry, apply a lightweight alcohol-free moisturizer or aftershave balm, avoid hot showers and sun exposure for 24 hours, and use sunscreen once healed. Moisturize daily to keep the scalp healthy.

Yes, with precautions. Inform your barber about sensitivities or active acne beforehand. We’ll adjust products and technique, use gentler tools, and may suggest patch testing or lighter passes; severe inflammation may require delaying service.
