A Gents Wash Cut & Finish is Timba's core men's haircut service, bringing together a proper consultation, a professional wash, a precision cut and a styled finish. It's a good fit for anyone who wants a full, refreshed result rather than a quick tidy-up, whether that's a classic short back and sides, a taper, a fade, or a more layered scissor cut.

What's Included
The appointment is structured to cover every stage of a proper haircut, not just the trim:
- A consultation to discuss your preferred style, hair type, face shape and how much daily styling you're happy to do
- A full hair wash, often with conditioning and a scalp massage, to cleanse and prepare the hair
- Precision cutting using scissors and clippers, tailored to your chosen style
- Careful detailing around the hairline, ears and neckline for a clean, symmetrical result
- A blow-dry and styling finish, with product chosen to suit your hair type and the look you're after
The whole service typically takes around 30 minutes, and the team, including Creative Director Geraint Osborne and Senior Stylists Katie Williams and Emma Stokes, are comfortable delivering everything from skin fades to classic crew cuts.
Who It Suits
This service works well if you want:
- A complete refresh rather than just a dry cut, thanks to the wash and finish
- Help deciding on a style, using the consultation to talk through what suits your hair type and lifestyle
- A polished result with product applied, ready to walk straight out the door
- Styling advice to recreate the look at home between visits
If you're after something quicker with no wash or finish, a simple dry cut may suit better, but the Wash Cut & Finish is the more complete option for a lasting result.
Getting the Most From Your Appointment
A little preparation helps the barber get it right first time:
- Come with hair in its natural state, without heavy product, so growth patterns and texture are easy to assess
- Bring reference photos or have a clear idea of length and style in mind
- Mention any previous issues, such as cowlicks, thinning areas or a sensitive scalp
- Flag any extras you'd like, such as a razor line-up or beard trim, as these may be separate services
- Let the barber know if you're working to a time limit, especially for a more involved restyle
Maintenance
Most men return every four to six weeks to keep the shape looking sharp, though shorter fades and cropped styles may need more frequent visits. Following your barber's product recommendations at home will help the cut hold its style between appointments.
