Awesome hair cut and beard trim - I’m in every two weeks and each time is spot on! Also great value for round these parts - definitely recommend!

I have had my hair cut here twice, both times being cut by Cihan. Alongside an incredible haircut, he is very friendly and very welcoming, offering a complementary hair wash and great company throughout the cut. I strongly recommend this barbershop.

The staff were friendly, which I appreciated, but the language barrier made communication quite difficult. I wasn’t able to clearly explain what I wanted, and unfortunately, the barber seemed to become a bit impatient as a result. One of my main concerns was the pricing — it wasn’t clearly displayed anywhere except for a small board tucked away in a corner of the shop. I was charged £20 just for shaping the beard (no trimming or cutting involved), which felt quite excessive and unfair, especially since the prices weren’t made transparent upfront. It would be much better if they listed their prices clearly on the website or displayed them more visibly outside the shop to avoid confusion.

A short walk from Waterloo station, this place will take care of all your hair and beard needs. Relax back while the pros do their work. Highly recommend! 5stars all round. Very responsive in the Google chat thru Google maps.

The overall experience was terrible. The barber was rude and did not care about the instructions i was trying to give him. The haircut was mediocre.
