The Boys - Wash & Cut (Under 14s) service at Timba is designed for younger clients who need a proper haircut without a fuss. In around 30 minutes, boys get a wash, a full cut and a quick finish, making it a good option for regular school-term trims or a fresh look before a special occasion.

What's Included
A typical visit follows a simple, reassuring structure:
- A short consultation with parent and child to agree on the style and flag any concerns
- Hair washed or dampened with a gentle, child-appropriate shampoo
- A full cut with scissors and/or clippers, from a classic short back and sides to a longer layered style
- A final check for evenness and balance, with adjustments made before finishing
- A quick dry and light styling so your son leaves looking tidy
Our stylists, including Katie Williams and Emma Stokes, are used to working with younger clients and take a calm, patient approach throughout.
Getting Ready for the Appointment
A little preparation helps the appointment run smoothly:
- Make sure hair is brushed through and checked for head lice beforehand, as some appointments may need to be postponed if lice are found
- Bring a photo of the desired style if your son has something specific in mind
- Flag any product sensitivities or allergies before the wash begins
- One parent should be on hand for the initial consultation and to approve the finished cut
Who This Suits
This service is aimed at boys under 14 who can sit reasonably still for about 30 minutes. It works well for:
- Regular maintenance cuts every 4 to 8 weeks, particularly for shorter clipper styles
- First proper haircuts or a change from a longer, layered look to something neater
- Parents who want a fuss-free, no-frills appointment rather than a full styling service
If your son needs extra time, a quieter slot, or a few breaks during the cut, it's worth mentioning this when booking so the team, overseen by Creative Director Geraint Osborne, can plan the appointment accordingly.
