Quick info
About Hale Barber Shop
Hale Barber Shop sits on Ashley Rd in Altrincham, open for walk-in cuts with no appointment needed. Some customers have kept the same barber for 20 to 25 years, a continuity that runs through the shop's client base. The shop opens daily, giving flexibility for those stopping in on a whim rather than booking ahead. Service runs on a first-come basis at the counter, with no fixed slots to plan around.

Customer Review Summary
Regulars return for the haircuts, and several describe coming for 20 or 25 years with the same staff, praising a friendly, welcoming team and good value. Reviewers single out the shave and haircut, with one pairing it with a beer, and another says the barbers take their time and give expert advice, including steering one customer away from a poor style choice and adjusting the price when less cutting was needed. A parent who brings a son every month describes the care taken with hair and beards, and one regular likes the late evening opening for midweek appointments. The complaints are specific. One reviewer says a wash and blow dry quoted by phone at £31 was raised at the salon to £50, with the stylist saying the long hair needed more work, so they skipped the blow dry and paid the original price. Another says a high fade came out as a low and then a medium fade, and the top was cut too short. A one-star review says the cuts suit teenagers or a scaffolder look. One reviewer's closing advice is to be careful who you get booked in with.

“The one star is for the friendly staff. If you're 15 or want to look like a scaffolder then this is the place for you. The search for a decent barber continues”

“I have been coming here for over 15 years and I’ve always had a positive experience however my experience on Friday was very different to my usual. I had booked in to get a wash and blow dry and got quoted a price over the phone. My usual hair dresser is off at the moment so I ended up with a different lady I hadn’t seen before with dark hair and a fringe. When I got there she told me that the price they had told me over the phone was wrong and the service was no longer £31 and was now £50. When I challenged this, her excuse was that my hair was too long and would require more work meaning it would cost more. I had stated on the phone when booking that my hair was long and thick. Her response to this was “we can’t see your hair over the phone”. To try and justify the new price she had quoted, she then said “I’ve worked in town and it is usually £70, this is hale so it should be more, these should be hale prices”. She was really argumentative and dismissed the person who’d given me the quote as “she’s a barber so she doesn’t know the prices” despite her colleague having worked there for over a decade. I was so short of time I ended up giving in and not getting the wash & blow dry, just her using straighteners to curl the ends and she charged me £31. I was disgusted & disappointed. Be careful who you get booked in with because some people try and inflate the prices when you get there.”

“Despite them running slightly behind schedule with two lads waiting behind me as well as me turning up with an unruly mess of a mop, Stu spent all the time required to give me a great cut, he didn't rush and offered expert advice on what …”

“Cut my hair too short on the top. I asked for a high fade, first he did a low fade because he thought it would look better on me, then at the end when I asked him to cut it higher up he did a medium fade, NOT a high fade like I had asked …”
