Claim Your Complimentary Haircut

This one-time complimentary service is our way of giving you a taste of what Sonder offers.
Exclusively for Crunch members.
We’ll see you in the chair.

Mid Fade

A mid fade begins higher on the head, offering a balanced contrast that delivers a sharper, more modern finish while keeping versatility in styling.

Taper

A taper is a subtle, natural blend around the neckline and sideburns that keeps the haircut clean without dramatically changing the overall length.

Low Fade

A low fade starts just above the ears and neckline, creating a soft, gradual transition that maintains a fuller, more classic look.
