Ever wonder why some haircuts look fuller at the crown… even on the flattest heads? It’s not an accident — it’s a technique. As hairstylists and barbers, we intentionally leave more weight at the crown to create height, balance the profile, and give the illusion of a naturally lifted shape. This subtle adjustment makes the cut look fuller, more dimensional, and way easier for clients to style at home. A balanced silhouette makes all the difference — and the crown is where the magic happens. ✂️✨

A couple bought their first flat 8 years ago. Their service charge was £1,400 for six months. Today it’s almost £8,000 a year. Half of it is energy costs from a communal heating system that’s basically failed. The other half is nearly £4,000 for “general maintenance” with no real breakdown. They can’t sell. They’ve slashed the price to below what they paid and buyers walk away the second they see the fees. FirstPort have even admitted they overspent by £80,000 on “general maintenance” this year
