FAQ

Straight answers about booking, pricing, policies, and what to expect at the studio.

Where is TCUTME located?

TCUTME operates out of a private suite at 8101 Sandy Spring Rd, Suite 300-W21, Laurel, MD 20707. All appointments are by appointment only, so you get a fully personalized experience in a comfortable, private setting.

What services do you offer?

A full range of barber services: skin fades, tapers, lineups, beard trims, straight razor shaves, steam facials, and cuts for all hair types and textures, including natural and chemically treated hair. Women and children are welcome.

How do I book an appointment?

Book online any time. TCUTME is appointment only, which lets every session be fully customized to you. After-hours and off-day appointments are available by phone at 240-370-2161.

What makes TCUTME different?

TCUTME is led by Talib "T," a second-generation barber with over 20 years of experience trained in the Philadelphia style: sharp lines, clean fades, and natural finishes. The private suite means no waiting, no crowds, and a fully tailored experience every visit.

Do you accept walk-ins?

TCUTME is by appointment only, so every client gets the full, personalized experience the studio is known for.

Do you cut kids' hair?

Yes. T is experienced with children, including those with autism, ADHD, and sensory sensitivities, in a private, quiet environment.

How much does a haircut cost?

Haircuts range from $35 for a kids cut to $65 for a shear (scissor) cut, with a standard men's haircut at $55. See the full list on the services page.

What should I expect at my first visit?

You'll have the private suite to yourself, one client at a time, with no waiting room or crowd. T talks through what you want before starting, then reads your hair type and head shape to build the cut or fade to match, so every visit is fully personalized to you.

What is your cancellation and no-show policy?

You can cancel or reschedule up to 12 hours before your appointment at no charge. Cancellations, reschedules, or no-shows inside that 12-hour window are subject to a fee equal to half the price of the booked service. Full details are in the booking policy.

What if I'm running late?

For kids' and teen services, arriving more than 10 minutes late is treated as a no call, no show. For adult services, the cutoff is 15 minutes late.

Do you offer appointments outside normal hours?

Yes. After-hours appointments (after 7pm) are $70, and off-day or emergency appointments are $85. These aren't booked online, call or text 240-370-2161 and T will confirm a time. See more on the after-hours page.

How far in advance should I book?

Booking normally fills up a few days to a week or more out, and further out around holidays. For shorter services like kids cuts and shape-ups, same-day or next-day openings are common, so it's worth checking in the morning or the day before.

What payment methods do you accept?

Cash, Cash App, and all forms of card payment accepted by Square, including tap, chip, swipe, Apple Pay, and Google Pay.

Do you cut women's hair?

Yes. The women's cut and neck trim is $45 and covers back-of-neck fades, ear shaping, and neckline cleanup, tailored to every hair type including natural and chemically treated hair. See more on the women's haircut page.

What is the Philadelphia style of barbering?

It's sharp lines, clean fades, and natural finishes, the approach T learned as a second-generation barber with over 20 years behind the chair. It's precise work built around your hair type and head shape rather than a one-size cut.

What's included in a steam facial?

A steam facial is $55 and about 30 minutes on its own, a clarifying and moisturizing deep cleanse for your skin. Paired with a full haircut it's $80 and about 90 minutes total. See more on the steam facial page.

Do you do straight razor shaves?

Yes. A straight razor face shave is $45 and a head shave is $50, both about 30 minutes, with hot towel, lather, and pre and post-shave care included. The head shave also includes beard lining. See more on the straight razor shave page.

Can I buy the products you use?

Yes. TCUTME sells Decca Plus grooming products, shampoo, conditioner, pomade, and scalp therapy, through the online shop with secure checkout powered by Square. Visit the shop page to see the full lineup.

Is there a referral program?

Yes. Refer a friend who books their first appointment and you both get $5 off your next visit. See the referral page for details.

Where do I park?

Park anywhere in the parking lot in front of the Perfect Office Solutions / Kiddie Academy building. Enter through the Perfect Office Solutions front door and take the elevator to the third floor. From there, ask the receptionist for directions to the suite, or call 240-370-2161 and T will come meet you. Walking around the building looking for the suite is not recommended.
