Line Up and Shape Up in Frederick, MD

A line up, also called a shape up, sharpens the edges of your haircut: the hairline, the temples and the neckline. Each barber lists it on his own menu at his own price.

Across the barbers who list it: $15 to $20, 15 to 30 min. The exact price depends on the barber you choose.

Line up basics

Line up or shape up

Two names for the same edge work. Barbers use both, and you will see both in the list below.

Between haircuts

A line up on its own is a quick visit to clean up the edges while the rest of the cut grows out.

The whole cut

If you want the full haircut, the fades page and the haircut and beard page are linked at the bottom of this page.
