Graduation photographs may be kept for years, so facial hair deserves a deliberate decision rather than a last-minute reaction. Look at a recent photograph of yourself and consider whether a clean-shaven appearance or a familiar moustache feels more recognisable. The aim is to mark the occasion while still looking like you.
A practical question to answer before the service
If professional shaving is unfamiliar, discuss the service before deciding how it fits the portrait day. There is no universal timetable that suits every person. A useful question is, “Which parts of my usual facial hair should we preserve for this photograph?” Bring an example showing your preferred appearance, especially if the gown and formal collar will change how your face is framed.
Bring one or two reference photos and explain what is difficult on a normal workday: straight hair that does not move, sides that expand, a flat top, a fringe that will not flow, or a routine that takes too long. A useful consultation connects the visible shape to the time, tools and products you actually use.
Service and booking guide
Standalone facial shaving is AUD60. The Signature Grooming Course is AUD150, with a first-visit price of AUD120, and includes consultation, haircut, shampoo and scalp cleanse, hot towel, Japanese facial shaving, shoulder and neck massage, and styling. Confirm the scope you want when booking.
For a Sydney CBD appointment, allow enough time to reach Suite 5 on Level 1 of the Dymocks Building, 428 George Street. The location is convenient for people planning a visit around Town Hall, George Street or the central business district, but use the complete suite and floor details rather than relying only on a “near me” result.
