Senior barber
Skin fades and hard partings. Will talk you out of anything that will not grow out.
Barber · beard
Beard design, straight-razor work and hot towel shaves. Keeps a book of shape notes.
Barber
Junior cuts without the fuss. Also the best fade in the building, quietly.
In the room
Concept illustrations for this demonstration — a real studio would show its work, its room and its regulars here.
Hours
Last bookings are thirty minutes before close. Closed Mondays except public holidays.
Finding us
Chapel Gate, on the corner with the old ironmonger. The door is the dark green one, between the tailor and the record shop.
Booking
Book ahead if you can. Saturdays go first, and the Thursday and Friday evening chairs are the busiest part of the week.

Website concept by Cryptic
Every demo here was designed and built in-house. We can design and build the same thing for your business — tailored, not templated.
Let’s build yours→Demonstration website created by Cryptic. Sable & Shears is a fictional business — its address, opening hours, prices and reviews are invented for this concept and do not refer to a real company.
