BEARD SHAPING · NORTH BEACH, MIAMI BEACH
Beard trimin Miami Beach.
Whether a beard looks groomed or neglected comes down to three lines: the cheek, the neck and the mustache. Leo sets all three to the shape of your face and finishes them clean. $20 on its own, or together with a haircut.
What a beard trim includes
The length is evened out so the beard keeps its shape. The cheek line and the neckline are set, and the mustache is cleared off the lip. Then the edges are finished so it all reads as one clean outline.
Where the neckline goes
Too high and the beard looks like a chin strap; too low and it runs down the neck. A good guide is a finger or two above the Adam’s apple, curving back toward the ears. Leo adjusts it to your jaw.
How often
A short beard keeps its lines for about two to three weeks. A longer one can go a little longer between trims, as long as the neckline is kept clean.
Clippers or scissors
Both. Clippers with a guard even out the bulk quickly and keep the length the same all over. Scissors take care of what a guard cannot: stray hairs, the mustache over the lip, and the shape of a longer beard at the chin. The lines themselves are finished with a trimmer or a blade.
Between visits, at home
Keep the neckline, nothing else. Find the line a finger or two above the Adam’s apple and only clean what grows below it. Leave the cheek line and the shape of the beard alone: one pass too many there and it takes weeks to grow back.
Trim it dry. A wet beard looks longer than it is, and what seems like a small cut ends up shorter than you wanted.
Growing it out
The first month is the hardest: it grows unevenly and looks untidy. That is exactly when a clean neckline and cheek line help most. They make a beard in progress look intentional, without taking any length off the beard itself.
