The shop floor, six chairs under warm bulbs
Est. 1972 · Six chairs · Walk-ins welcome

Sharp since the first cut

A proper barbershop that also does colour and cuts for everyone. Hot towel, straight razor, and nobody hurrying you out of the chair.

The shop

Fifty years on the same corner

Three generations have run this room. The mirrors and the chairs are original, the clippers are not, and the apprenticeship still takes two years before anyone touches a paying head.

We added the salon side in 2011 because half the people walking past had nowhere to get colour done properly. Same room, same standard, two more chairs.

What people say

Asked for something I could not describe and got exactly it. First barber in years who told me what would actually suit my head.
Owen BlakeChair 01, every five weeks
Went in for a colour correction after a disaster elsewhere. Sofia talked me through the whole thing and did it over two visits rather than wrecking my hair in one.
Nia AdeyemiSalon side
The wet shave is worth the money once a month. Nobody rushes, there is no music blaring, and you come out feeling like a different person.
