More information

What's Included

A focused tidy to refresh the outline and keep your style crisp between full haircuts.

  • Quick consultation to confirm length, taper and neckline.
  • Clipper work and scissor over comb to refine the back and sides.
  • Tidy around ears and sideburns for a clean outline.
  • Tapered or natural neckline to suit your style.
  • Seamless blend into the top, leaving the top length unchanged.
  • Dry finish with light product if needed.
  • Advice on maintenance and when to book your next tidy.

Who It's For

If your hair grows out at the sides before the top needs attention, this is for you. It suits short back and sides, faded styles needing a quick refresh, and longer top looks that only require the sides tidied. Helpful if the top is fine and you want to reduce bulk at the sides to balance the look.

Duration & Appointment Timing

This service takes around 15 minutes and is focused on efficiency and accuracy. Please arrive with clean, dry hair for the most precise result. If you want the top cut or a restyle, book a full haircut so there is enough time.

Aftercare & Maintenance

Wash and style as normal. Use lighter product on the sides to keep the shape neat. To maintain a sharp finish, book every 2 to 3 weeks, or sooner if your hair grows quickly. If you cycle or wear a helmet often, a slightly shorter interval helps keep the outline tidy. Book with Peter Joannou Barber Shop on 01273 328799, or visit us at 40 Middle St, Brighton, East Sussex BN1 1AL.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a back and sides trim include?
We tidy the back and sides only, leaving the top length untouched. Expect clean edges, a tapered neckline and a smooth blend for a fresh, natural finish.
Why is the cut done on dry hair?
Cutting on dry hair shows how your hair sits naturally, so we can refine shape and balance with precision. It is efficient and avoids changing how your hair lies.
How often should I book this service?
Most clients return every 2 to 3 weeks, depending on growth and style. If your hair grows quickly or you prefer a very sharp outline, come in a little sooner.
Can I add a beard tidy or have the top cut as well?
This service focuses on the back and sides only. If you want a beard shape or the top cut, please book additional services or a full haircut so there is enough time.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
Arrive with clean, dry hair and minimal product. Bring a photo of your usual look if helpful, and let us know your preferred neckline and taper.
