“Paul is good and listens to what you want. Sami has one haircut regardless of what you ask him or if you show him a picture. I call him the ‘prison barber’. If you go here, wait for Paul!”
- John Mckay

“Amazing barbers, very friendly, great haircuts”
- Luke Roberts
“Constantly closed during their opening hours. I have attended 5 separate times over the last 2 months during their stated opening hours, but they have always been closed. Often they will have the sign "store full closed early". If they at least had the door open, so they could tell you an appropriate time to come back, that would be something. There isn't even a phone number listed, anywhere! So unable to call in advance. This place gets such great reviews, maybe I have just been extremely unlucky, but unfortunately I can't take my chance with this place.”

“Paul and his partner run an amazing business providing a service to Hucclecote that is truly historic. My downes syndrome brother always gets an amazing hair cut and beard trim. He even goes there by himself now. Fabulous guys. Thank you so much.”

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return for the chat that comes with the cut at this old-fashioned, family-run barbershop, where talk of football and pop music is described as part of the service. Close behind are reliable short back and sides cuts and friendly, fast service in a traditional waiting room. One reviewer says their brother with Down syndrome always gets a good haircut and beard trim and now visits alone. The recurring complaint is access. Two reviewers describe the door locked with a sign reading shut early as shop is full, and one found it closed on five visits over two months with no phone number to call ahead. Others report uneven results. One says a beard trim removed six months of growth and a refund was refused. Another says one barber gives the same cut whatever is asked or shown in a photo, and advises waiting for a different barber. One regular suggests a one in, one out system, since the sign leaves people unsure whether the shop is closed for the day.
