Quick info
About Gem
Gem is a barber shop on Middle St in Brixham, offering a Turkish cut-throat shave alongside its haircuts. The shop runs on a walk-in basis, with no appointment needed, and the counter can see a wait to be seen at busier times. It opens Monday to Saturday and stays closed on Sundays. The shave sits on the menu as a distinct option next to the standard cuts, giving customers a choice beyond a haircut alone. Payment and service both run through the same walk-in counter, keeping the format simple for anyone dropping by on a working day.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers come mainly for the haircut, with regulars of eight years and others since the shop opened describing a local barber they trust and a cut they love. Close behind is the shave. One visitor calls the haircut and cut throat shave the best cut they have ever had, and another says her husband has never stopped talking about his Turkish shave. Parents mention getting their sons' hair cut quickly, a South Korean family on holiday says both father and son left happy, and several describe the staff as kind and the prices as reasonable. The main caveat is one detailed complaint. A customer who asked for a number 4 low fade says they got a shave halfway up the head with an unfaded line and an uneven front, and calls it the worst cut they have had. One regular also warns that it is sometimes very busy. Another reviewer describes the barber as consistently accommodating as her husband's mobility declined.

“I was very satisfied with this skill and service. I and my son did hair. The skill was very good and in style. Especially my son hair is best. Clerks are kind, and the price is cheaper than any other shops. I am from South Korea and traveling to the south coast in the UK with family. Like the name "Gem," we discovered happiness today. I'm really thankful.”

“My 2 boys needed their hair cut, so after reading online we came here. Decent cut at a tenner each. Quick service too.”

“I have been using this barbers for 8 years and love the way he cuts my hair. It's good to have a local barber you can trust. I would highly recommend.”

“Not sure whether it was a misunderstanding or a mistake but not what I asked for at all. Asked for #4 low fade and instead got what looks like a #0.5 shave halfway up my head with a horrible line which isn't faded in the slightest. It's also completely uneven from the front. Really, really unhappy with this, the worst haircut I've had. I would have said something but it didn't look quite as bad when I was in the shop. Just really don't know what the barber was thinking.”
