About Desi Boyz Ilford
Desi Boyz Ilford is a barber shop in Ilford on Goodmayes Rd, open daily. The team works through fades, beard line-ups and short back and sides machine cuts, and a haircut and shave is offered as a pairing. Children's haircuts are part of the work too, so the chair is open to younger customers as well as adults. The head barber and the owner both cut hair. Customers wait in a queue, and sofas give them somewhere to sit until their turn comes up.

Customer Review Summary
Fades are the most-cited service, and reviewers split sharply on them. Satisfied regulars describe a fade and beard line-up done well every other week, and several call the barbers talented, professional and friendly. One praises the reasonable price, and another says they came from the USA for one particular barber. The larger group describes the opposite: a requested low fade that came out as a poorly blended high fade, uneven sides, lines that were not tight, and a shave that needed touching up at home. A few say the cut was rushed and differed from what they asked for. Others point to an inexperienced barber, though one notes the head barber seemed to know what he was doing. One reviewer says two other customers were served first, and another describes a long wait for a very short cut. One reviewer reports a rash afterward and links it to equipment hygiene, and another says the shop smells uncleaned and the waiting sofas are broken. One parent says a one-year-old's first haircut came out really good.

“Veery poor haircut by owner and rude behaviour I didn’t recommend to go”

“Messed up my brothers hair, gave him a lecture about how his hair was damaged, he clearly stated what he wanted and ended up with a completely different haircut. I don't recommend.”

“My husband went there. Had an inexperienced barber. Quick trim, didn't think he knew much how to style or trim evenly or even blend top and side properly. I told the dude to make corrections and he tried his best. The Head Barber knew what he was doing but I was unfortunate to get some inexperienced dude. Won't be going back anytime soon.”
