Beard Trim in Bellevue

A beard trim in Bellevue at Presidential Fades is $35 and takes about 30 minutes. That is a full shape-up, a lineup with clippers and a straight razor, detailing, and a hot towel finish.

What a $35 trim actually covers

We shape the beard to your jaw and neckline rather than just taking length off everywhere. The cheek line and neckline get a straight razor lineup, which is the part that makes a beard look deliberate instead of merely shorter. The hot towel at the end is not decoration; it softens the skin and settles the hair so you can see what you are actually leaving with.

Booked with a haircut, it is cheaper

A beard trim on its own is $35. A haircut on its own is $50. The two together are $65 rather than $85, and the combined appointment runs about 60 minutes. If you are due for both, book them together.

How short, and how often

Tell us the length you want to keep, not just "tidy it up". If you are growing a beard out, a shape-up every three or four weeks keeps the neckline and cheek line clean without losing length. If you keep it short, every two to three weeks holds the shape better.

Coming in for the first time

If you are not sure what shape suits your face, say so at the consultation. It is easier to take more off at the end than to put it back, so we start conservative on a first visit and adjust from there.

Holding the shape between visits

The neckline is what goes first. If you are tidying it yourself between appointments, work below the jawline and leave the cheek line alone, because a cheek line cut too low is the one mistake that takes weeks to grow back. Comb the beard down before you judge the length, since beard hair sits differently once it is brushed out, and most people cut too much off a beard that only looked uneven.
