About this service
What beard trim includes at our Alpena salons
A professional beard trim shapes, lengths, and outlines facial hair to a clean, intentional profile. Stylists use a combination of clippers (for length and bulk reduction), scissors (for layering and detail), and trimmers or razors (for outline crispness). Most walk-in chains offer beard trims as a quick standalone service or as an add-on to a haircut. The most common request: maintain current length but tighten the outline along the cheeks, jawline, and neckline. Specialty requests like full reshape (making a heavy beard medium length) or transitioning from beard to clean-shaven are also available.
A standalone beard trim takes 10-15 minutes. The stylist starts with a quick consultation about your desired length and outline. Length reduction comes first if needed — clipper passes with a guard, then scissor detail. Outline work is last: cleaning up the cheek line, the neckline (typically two finger-widths above the Adam's apple), and the mustache lip line. Most walk-in chains charge $11-$15 for a beard trim alone, $25-$45 for a haircut + beard trim package.
