A great beard doesn't maintain itself. Without regular trimming and lining, even the fullest beard starts looking uneven and loses the shape that made it look good in the first place. At The Dominicans, beard sculpting is one of our most-requested services.
Our barbers don't just buzz it down - we shape your beard to your face, line the cheeks and neckline for a crisp border, and condition the hair so it stays soft and healthy. Whether you want a tight corporate beard, a full natural shape, or a detailed design, we'll get it right.
Beard trims and shapes start at $20 and take about 15–25 minutes. Walk in any day of the week, or pair it with a haircut for the full refresh.
What a Beard Shape Actually Does
A proper beard shape does three things: it sets the neckline (the border between beard and neck, which most guys get wrong at home), it sets the cheek line, and it balances the length so the beard frames your jaw instead of swallowing it.
We finish with a lineup - using a straight razor or trimmer to crisp the edges - and a conditioning treatment so the hair doesn't itch or flake. The result looks intentional and lasts two to three weeks before you need another pass.
Pair Your Beard Trim with a Cut
Most clients get a beard trim alongside a haircut or skin fade - it's the full package and it takes one visit. Our Full Haircut with Beard & Hot Towel Shave is one of our most popular services for exactly that reason.
Coming in just for a beard touch-up between cuts? That's fine too. A $20 shape-up keeps you looking sharp without committing to a full appointment.
