About Whiteheads
On Upper Commercial St in Batley, Whiteheads is a barber shop that takes customers on a walk-in basis, with no appointments needed. The shop opens Monday to Saturday and stays closed on Sundays. Payment at the counter is cash only, so customers should come prepared. Alongside regular cuts for adults, the team also handles children's haircuts, making it a stop for family visits rather than just individual grooming. The format keeps things straightforward, with clients seen in the order they arrive rather than booked in advance.

Customer Review Summary
Most reviewers return for a straightforward, reliable haircut from staff repeatedly described as friendly, with several praising the traditional English barbershop feel and reasonable prices. One reviewer credits the shop with knowing how to do a proper flat top, and another highlights a nasal wax that "didn't hurt" alongside the cut. Long-term loyalty comes up often, with reviewers citing more than 20 years as customers or continuing to travel back after moving away. A recurring complaint concerns children's cuts: one parent describes a toddler becoming so upset over not being allowed to sit on a parent's knee that he hit his head, another reports a stylist speaking sharply and being rough with clippers on a child, and a third says a son's requested style was ignored in favor of what the stylist preferred. Several still describe treating the regular staff almost like extended family after repeated visits over the years.

“NOT child friendly! ‘Wendy’ cut my lads hair and spoke to him in an unfriendly, sharp tone and was rough with the clippers. She needs to take a long hard look in the mirror.”
