Professional beard trimming and shaping at City Barbers — Upper East Side's most trusted barbershop since 1972. $25 with hot towel finish. Open 7 days.
A professional beard trim at City Barbers is a complete grooming service, not just a quick pass with clippers. Our barbers start with a consultation on your desired shape, length, and the specific lines you want to maintain — then work methodically through every part of the beard to deliver a result that looks intentional from every angle.
The difference between a home trim and a professional one is the neckline and cheek line. These two edges define the entire shape of a beard — get them wrong and the whole thing looks unkempt. Our barbers use a straight razor to draw a clean, precise line on both, which is nearly impossible to replicate with an electric trimmer at home.
We discuss your desired length, shape, and the specific lines you want to keep or change.
Stray hairs are removed, length is evened out, and the overall shape is established with scissors.
Clipper work tightens the shape, blends the edges, and ensures consistent length throughout.
Clean cheek lines and neckline defined with a straight razor — the step that separates a great trim from an average one.
A warm towel soothes the skin and closes the pores. Aftershave balm applied to the lines and neck.

A beard trim shapes and maintains an existing beard — it removes length, defines lines, and cleans up edges. A hot towel shave ($50) is a full straight-razor shave of the face, removing all beard growth. They are different services, though both include hot towel treatment.
