About Hallgate Barbers
Hallgate Barbers is a barber shop on Hallgate in Cottingham, taking walk-ins rather than appointments. The team includes both male and female barbers, and the shop handles a steady flow of children's haircuts alongside adult cuts. It opens Monday to Saturday and stays closed on Sundays. As a walk-in shop, customers are seen without booking ahead, which suits quick visits for a child's trim or a regular cut. The setup keeps to the traditional gentleman's barbers format rather than offering a wider range of grooming services.

Customer Review Summary
Most reviewers return for a straightforward men's cut from the male barbers, repeatedly praised for haircuts on both adults and children, with several noting their sons "always come out looking fantastic" and one describing a young child's cut handled patiently despite pandemic PPE. Close behind, regulars mention a friendly, traditional atmosphere and feeling treated as a valued customer. But a recurring complaint centers on one female barber: multiple reviewers describe cuts rushed through in five to eight minutes, fades left undone or uneven, requested length ignored even when a photo was shown, and one visit ending with hair left dripping wet. Separately, one reviewer reports a family being ignored on repeat visits, with no eye contact or acknowledgment from staff, and another describes the shop's floor as dirty and hair-filled. Cuts from the praised barbers, by contrast, are described as coming out fantastic every time.

“I don't usually complain at all and hate to do so. Ive had many hair cuts here and both the lads are great at cutting hair. There is however one woman out of the two (the other is great) who i’ve had bad experiences with. Im unhappy with the cut i had recently. She had rushed through it within about 5-6 minutes. Didn't fade my hair at all even though i asked to the point where its the same length the whole way up the sides and even on the back and also didn't listen to the length i wanted on the top and did it far too short in a way that it is very uneven aswell. Alongside leaving my hair soaking wet and not drying it properly after finishing which was a bit embarrassing as i was sat there with it dripping at the front 😂 . which isn't worth the £16.”

“I've had two great haircuts here from a man-really happy with his work. But my last visit was with a woman, and it was a disaster. I asked for a low fade and a bit off the top. She rushed through it in 8 minutes, even though the shop was …”

“I had been cutting my own hair since the start of lockdown in 2020. Decided to have a proper cut at Hallgate Barbers. Dave is an experienced & friendly barber who cut my hair very well. Treated as a valued customer. Will be back.”
