A haircut is face design, not just a trim

A celebrity photo is a fine place to start, but the cut that suits you is planned around your face shape, your hair and how you live.

Plenty of clients sit down in the chair holding a photo of a celebrity or a famous footballer, Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi for example, and say, "Cut it exactly like this." The trouble is, a cut that looks great on them won't automatically work on you.

Everyone has their own face shape, hair density, growth pattern and even lifestyle. At Number 1 Barber we don't just cut hair. We look at your face shape, your personal style and even your personality.

Why not every cut works on everyone

Face shape matters most

• Round faces look better with cuts that add some angles.
• Long faces need cuts that add width.
• Square or angular faces need some softness around the temples.

Your hair type and density set the limits

A cut designed for thick hair won't have the same effect on thin hair.

Your hairline and natural growth can't be changed

A cut that depends on a certain part, line or curl pattern might simply not sit right on your head.

Our job

Our job is to use our experience, your face shape and your hair type to suggest the best cut for you. Sometimes the style that catches your eye isn't the one that suits your face. When that happens, we'll tell you honestly and suggest a cut that makes you look sharper, neater and more attractive.

The cut that suits you

A good haircut isn't just what's in fashion. It's the one that shows your personality and fits who you are. So bring the photo anyway, and we'll look at it together and tell you what will work on you.
