Cuts

Barber in Nelson and Richmond for men's haircuts, skin fades, beard trims and kids' cuts.

Pick the cut and the page tells you what is included and how long to allow.

The chair

A small shop where the cut gets the time it needs.

No queue on the bench, no three-chair rush. You book, you sit, you talk it through, and Josh cuts.

Richmond

Booked, not queued

The time you book is the time you sit.

One barber, one chair, and a diary that is kept honest.

Why here

What you get that you do not get in a queue.

One barber, every time

You see Josh, not whoever is free. He remembers what you had last time and how it grew out.

Bookings that hold

A booked slot is yours. No queue, no sitting on a bench for forty minutes.

Richmond, not the CBD

Park outside. Fifteen minutes from central Nelson, closer for Stoke, Hope and Brightwater.

Real clients

Cuts that walked out of the chair.

Photographed by Josh, not pulled from a stock library. Bring one of these in, or describe your own and he will get you there.

How it works

Book, sit, leave sharp.

Tell Josh what you want and when. He comes back with a time.

Book a cut
01

Say what you want

Cut, day, rough time. Use the form or call. A photo of the style helps if you have one.

02

Josh confirms a time

You get a reply with a slot, or a couple of options if that one has gone.

03

Sit down

One chair, so the time you booked is the time you sit. Talk it through, then the cut.

04

Walk out sharp

Finished with a razor at the edges and styled so you can see how it sits before you leave.

Where

The chair is in Richmond. Nelson is fifteen minutes.

Handy for Stoke, Tahunanui, Brightwater, Wakefield, Mapua, Hope and anyone in Nelson who would rather park outside than circle the CBD.

FAQ

Quick answers

§01 Where is JSL Studios?
In Richmond, Nelson, close to the Queen Street shops. The exact address and parking come with your booking confirmation.
§02 Do I need to book?
Booking is the safe way. Josh works one chair, so a booked slot means you sit down at the time you asked for. If you are nearby and want to chance a walk-in, call first and he will tell you honestly if there is a gap.
§03 What does Josh cut?
Men's haircuts, skin fades, taper fades, beard trims and line-ups, and kids' haircuts. Each one has its own page with what is included and how long to allow.
§04 How do I book?
Use the booking form on this site. Say what you want done and when suits, and Josh replies with a time.
§05 I am in Nelson city. Is it worth the drive?
Plenty of people make it. Richmond is about fifteen minutes from the city centre and parking is a lot easier than Trafalgar Street.
