Clipper work · Scissor work · Beards
A four-chair shop built around unhurried appointments. Every cut is checked dry, finished by hand, and booked with a return date that suits how fast your hair actually grows.
The room
Maple Craft sits in a single long room with a bench by the window and four chairs down the wall. We keep the shop quiet enough to talk and warm enough to wait in, and we only take as many appointments as the four of us can finish properly.
Cuts are timed rather than squeezed. A fade gets forty-five minutes because the blend is checked dry, under the light, before anything is finished. If you want it shorter after that check, the extra pass is part of the same appointment.
Price list
Prices are per appointment and include the dry check and finish. Longer or thicker hair is never charged extra — if a cut needs more time, we book the longer slot instead.
Clipper work from skin or a chosen guard, blended wet and corrected dry. Includes the neck and around the ears.
For anything past two inches on top. Weight removed by hand so the shape holds as it grows rather than splitting at the crown.
A full cut with the beard shaped to match: cheek line, neckline and length set together so the two read as one shape.
Beard only. We map the lines to your jaw rather than a template, then finish the edges with a razor and hot towel.
Clipper pass, lather and razor finish, then a cool towel and balm. Booked in the quieter part of the morning.
An early slot with the booster seat, the clippers demonstrated before they go near anyone, and a parent in the next chair.
Neck, ears and edges only, for the third week of a fade. Free for anyone with a cut booked in the next fortnight.
Not sure which to pick? Say what your hair is doing now in the notes and we will book the right length of slot.
What to ask for
Most people arrive with a photo and no vocabulary, which is fine. These are the three questions we are asked most, answered the way we would answer them at the mirror.
The awkward stage is usually the neckline and the sides catching up with the top, not the length itself. Say you are growing it out and we will cut for the shape you want in two months.
A cheek line drawn too high ages a face and takes weeks to recover. We set it where your growth is already strongest and tidy up to it.
We keep the first appointment short and predictable, and we would rather do half a cut calmly than a whole one badly.
The chairs
Name a barber when you request a chair and we will hold one of their days. If you have no preference we will give you whoever has the slot that suits your return date.
Front chair
Ellis opened the room and still takes the chair by the window. Clipper-led work: skin fades, flat tops and the kind of short crop that has to be exact or it shows.
Back chair
Rafe works mostly with scissors and curl. If your hair has a mind of its own, or you are growing something out and want a plan rather than a trim, book the back chair.
Hours & walk-ins
The shop is small, so the rules are simple and we stick to them. Reading this before you travel usually saves a wasted trip.
Two chairs are kept free between 11am and 1pm, Tuesday to Friday, and they go in the order people arrive. Saturdays are booked appointments only — there is no walk-in list.
The last cut of the evening starts at 6.15pm so nothing is rushed at closing. If you need a late slot, Thursday evenings are the quietest to hold.
Up to ten minutes is fine and we will still do the full cut. Past that we may need to shorten the finish or move you to the next free slot, so a quick note helps.
Reply to your confirmation any time up to the day before and we will move it. Nothing is taken in advance, so there is nothing to refund.
Request a chair
This is a request, not an instant booking — a barber reads it and replies with two slots that fit the service and your preferred days.
