Between cuts
Fresh in 15 minutes.
A good cut grows out from the edges first. A couple of weeks in, the neckline fuzzes and the hairline softens, even while the rest still looks right. A line up fixes exactly that, without starting over.
It's also the fastest way to look sharp before something that matters: an interview, a date, a photo. Walk in when a chair's open, or book a 15 minute slot on Squire.
