Using numbered guards for precise length control, our barbers create a clean, even style with sharp detailing around the neckline, ears and sideburns, all within a 15-minute appointment. ## What to Expect - A quick **consultation** on preferred length and style, whether that's an all-over grade, a fade, or a taper between the top and sides - Clippers used to work the **sides and back**, typically starting shorter near the neckline and blending upward - The **top** cut with clippers too if kept very short, or lightly detailed for a slightly longer finish - Sharp **edging** around the ears, neckline and sideburns using trimmers or a razor for a crisp outline - A tidy, even result with smooth blending between grades, ready to go in minutes ## Is It Right for You? This cut suits anyone comfortable with **short hair**, generally under an inch on the sides and back. Before your appointment, it helps to think about: - Whether you want a single **all-over grade** or different lengths with a fade or taper - How often you're happy to visit, since very short grades (0 to 1) usually need a top-up every 1.5 to 3 weeks, while longer grades can stretch to 4 to 6 weeks - Any scalp sensitivities or skin conditions worth mentioning beforehand - Whether you'd like to pair the cut with **beard shaping** or a neck tidy-up, both commonly done alongside a clipper cut - Bringing a **photo reference** if you're after a specific look, which our barbers, including Creative Director Geraint Osborne and Senior Stylist Katie Williams, find helpful for getting the blend just right ## Aftercare and Upkeep Clipper cuts are genuinely low maintenance, which is part of the appeal for busy clients across Cardiff. - Rinse away any loose hairs and shampoo gently after your appointment - A small amount of light styling product is usually all that's needed on top - Avoid scratching or rubbing the neckline area straight after the cut, particularly if a razor was used - Book regular tidy-ups every 2 to 4 weeks to keep the shape and lines sharp [Book Online](https://book.thesalon.app/salons/5d037f92-0091-4453-941b-88ca6bf28bb5/book?service=dd598fadbb5b0a7f1a03df12) ## Frequently Asked Questions How long does a Gents Clipper Cut take? It's a quick service, typically around 15 minutes from consultation to finish. How much does it cost? A Gents Clipper Cut at Timba costs between £21 and £23. What's the difference between a clipper cut and a regular gents cut? A clipper cut is done primarily or entirely with electric clippers rather than scissors, making it quicker and generally lower priced than a full wash-and-cut service. Can I get a fade with a clipper cut? Yes, barbers can use different clipper grades on the sides, back and top to create a faded or tapered look, or keep it to one grade all over. How often should I book a clipper cut? Most clients return every 2 to 4 weeks; very short grades may need a top-up sooner, around every 1.5 to 3 weeks, while longer grades can last up to 6 weeks. Will scissors be used at all? The cut is mainly clipper-based, though minimal scissor work may be used for detailing if the top is left slightly longer. How should I look after my hair afterwards? Rinse or shampoo gently to remove any loose hairs, use a light styling product if desired, and avoid scratching the neckline straight after the cut. Can I add a beard trim or neck shave to my appointment? Yes, beard shaping and neck tidy-ups are commonly paired with a clipper cut for a coordinated finish. What should I bring or prepare before my appointment? It helps to know whether you want an all-over grade or a fade, and bringing a photo reference can make it easier to communicate the exact look you want.
