Happy client with freshly groomed beard

Beard Grooming 101 Shape, Style & Maintain with Allan’s

Why Beard Grooming Matters

A well-groomed beard is more than just facial hair it’s a powerful style statement. Whether you're growing a full beard, maintaining stubble, or shaping your neckline, how you care for it makes all the difference.

At Allan’s Men’s Hairdressing, our barbers treat beard grooming as an art. We help clients achieve clean lines, healthy growth, and a look that complements their haircut and face shape.

Step 1: Choose the Right Beard Style

Before trimming, it’s important to find a beard style that suits:

  • Your face shape (oval, round, square, long)

  • Your jawline and facial features

  • The type of haircut you’ve got

Some popular styles we offer at Allan’s:

  • Short boxed beard – Professional yet masculine

  • Defined stubble – Clean and minimal

  • Goatee with faded sides – Sharp and modern

  • Full beard with neckline fade – Rugged with precision

Step 2: Master Beard Maintenance

Beard grooming doesn’t stop at the salon it’s a daily routine. At Allan’s, we recommend:

  • Washing your beard 2–3 times a week with a beard-friendly shampoo

  • Using beard oil or balm daily to keep it soft and hydrated

  • Brushing your beard to train the hair growth direction and remove knots

Our barbers will show you exactly how to clean, hydrate, and style your beard based on your growth pattern and skin type.

Step 3: Define the Neckline & Cheek Line

This is where most DIY beard trims go wrong. A well-defined neckline and cheek line gives your beard a clean, intentional look.

At Allan’s, we use straight razors and trimmers to define sharp lines while blending them into your haircut seamlessly. We also offer beard fading, a technique that blends the beard into the sideburns and haircut for a flawless finish.

Step 4: Trim Regularly

Letting your beard grow wild results in split ends, uneven shape, and a scruffy look. To maintain a polished beard:

  • Trim every 2–3 weeks

  • Visit Allan’s for a detailed shaping every 4–6 weeks

  • Keep edges neat between visits with simple home tools

Our barbers will guide you on how to maintain your beard between appointments, so you always look sharp.
