- Fringe Trim

A fringe trim is a quick, focused appointment that tidies up just the front section of hair forming your fringe, without touching the rest of your cut. At Timba in Cardiff, this is offered free of charge to existing clients as a simple way to help your style stay sharp between full haircuts.
More information
What's Involved
The appointment is short and purposeful, typically around 15 minutes. Our stylists, including Katie Williams, Lucy Osborne, Emma Stokes, Hannah James and Chloe Phillips, will:
- Have a brief consultation to confirm your preferred length and shape, whether that's just above the brows, sweeping to the side, or a longer curtain style
- Section off the fringe, usually working on dry hair so the true length and fall can be seen
- Use blunt cutting for a strong, defined edge or point cutting and texturising to soften it and add movement
- Check the fringe blends naturally with the rest of your haircut before finishing
This is a maintenance trim, not a restyle. If you're after a completely new fringe shape or a first-time fringe, that's treated as a full haircut and priced accordingly.
Who This Is For
This service suits existing Timba clients who already have a fringe and just need it kept in check.
- Ideal if your fringe is starting to fall into your eyes or lose its shape
- Great for short, straight or thick fringes that need more frequent upkeep
- Not intended for clients wanting a brand new fringe or a significant change in style, thickness or shape
If you have strong cow-licks, curly hair or fine hair, mention this at your consultation so the trim can be tailored to suit how your hair naturally sits.
Maintenance and Aftercare
Regular trims help your fringe, and your overall haircut, look polished for longer.
- Most fringes benefit from a trim roughly every 3 to 8 weeks, depending on growth rate and style
- At home, blow-dry forward or to the side using a round brush for volume or a flat brush for sleekness
- Dry shampoo or a light texturising spray can help manage oil and add texture between visits
- Avoid cutting your own fringe at home. Come in for a quick, free trim instead to prevent uneven results that are hard to correct
Please note this service doesn't include shampooing or a full blow-dry, it's focused purely on the fringe itself.
