03 / CRAFT

Four steps, same order, every chair

A standard cut at corehosterne.com runs 45 to 60 minutes from the door to the mirror. Nothing is skipped to save time.

  1. 01

    Consult

    Two minutes on hair type, growth direction and how you actually wear it on a normal Tuesday. Bring a photo if you have one.

    2 to 4 min / no charge

  2. 02

    Cut

    Scissor work first, clippers only where the shape calls for it. Fades are built in stages so the blend holds up two weeks later.

    35 to 45 min / from 450 UAH

  3. 03

    Hot towel

    A steamed towel softens the beard line before the razor goes anywhere near the neck and jaw, which keeps irritation down.

    3 to 5 min / included

  4. 04

    Finish

    Neck line cleaned, edges squared, tonic and a quick dry style. We show you what we used so you can repeat it at home.

    5 to 10 min / included

Walk-in wait is written on the board by the door. Reserve a chair and time if you would rather not chance it.

The hot towel shave is the reason I stopped shaving at home. Straight razor, clean finish, and no razor burn along the neck.

Andriy M.Hot towel straight razor shave

Booked at 9:40, sat down at 10:00. They post the walk-in wait accurately, which almost never happens in this city.

Dmytro S.Classic cut, walk-in slot

My son is seven and hates clippers. The barber walked him through the whole cut and he sat still. That alone earns the five stars.
