Est. 2018 · 5 Hill Rise, Richmond
Traditional scissor work, razor detailing and hot towel shaves, done properly. A neighbourhood barbershop with standards worth crossing town for.
The House
Since 2018, Hams Of Richmond has stood on Hill Rise doing one thing to an uncommon standard: barbering. Scissor over comb. Razor detailing. Hot towels, cold tonic, unhurried hands. The methods are traditional because they work. The results are modern because you are.
This is Richmond's barbershop in the old sense of the word — a place you're known by name, cut by craftsmen, and never rushed out of the chair. Everyone is welcome. Everything is done properly. Ask anyone in Richmond who cuts their hair. Chances are, you're standing outside the answer.
The Rituals
Consultation first. Scissors second. Compliments third.
Every cut begins with a conversation: your hair, your head shape, how you actually live. Then precision scissor work built to grow out clean, finished with product matched to you. You'll get stopped and asked who cuts your hair. Tell them.

Sharp lines. Seamless transitions.
The fade is where barbering shows its hand. Ours are built gradually, blended to nothing, edged with a straight razor for lines you could set a level against. This is the fade Richmond photographs. The difference between a fade and our fade is the last five minutes.

Sculpted to your face, not a template.
A beard should follow your bone structure, not fight it. We shape to your jaw, neckline and cheekbones, refine with a razor, and condition with oils that earn their place. Ten years off your jaw in thirty minutes. Add it to any cut and walk out completely finished.

Barbering at its most traditional. And its most relaxing.
Hot towels to open the skin. A straight razor drawn by a steady, practised hand. Cool towel, finishing balm, and the closest shave you will ever have. Forty-five minutes in which nobody can reach you. Some men book it for the shave. Most come back for the silence.

Walk in off Hill Rise or call ahead and find the chair held. Take a seat, take a breath. The pace changes the moment the door closes.
Before a blade is lifted, your barber reads your head: growth patterns, crown, how you actually wear it. Two minutes that separate a proper cut from a lucky one.
Scissor, clipper, straight razor. Hot towels where they belong. Every stage unhurried, every line checked twice. This is the part of your week that's entirely yours.
Styled, balmed, brushed down — and shown how to do it yourself tomorrow. A last look from every angle. You walk back onto Hill Rise a sharper version of the man who walked in.
The Barbers
Nobody holds clippers at Hams without earning it. Every barber here is trained in the traditional methods, fluent in the modern ones, and treats a loose neckline like a personal insult. Ask for who you like, or trust the house. Either way, you're in serious hands.

Hams and Ahmad do a fantastic job, consistently get the skin fade I am looking for (foils included!) as well as a good conversation. I am always impressed at the pace both of the lads can do a haircut too.
