About The Gentry At Highgate
On Highgate in Kendal, The Gentry At Highgate is a barber shop offering haircuts alongside shaves. Appointments are booked through an app, giving clients a straightforward way to reserve a slot ahead of a visit. The shop opens Monday to Saturday and stays closed on Sundays, giving the week a consistent rhythm for regulars planning a visit. Both services run from the same appointment system, so a shave can be arranged alongside a haircut in one booking rather than as a separate stop.

Customer Review Summary
Most reviewers return for a haircut done by a specific, requested barber exactly as asked, with several describing the booking app as easy to use and the atmosphere as welcoming and pleasant. A trim and a restyle both earn specific praise, one parent noting a stylist took time to talk through options before cutting their son's hair, another highlighting a shave as good value. Repeat customers, including some bringing sons in for years, single out the friendly welcome as the reason they keep coming back. Against this, one reviewer reports the opposite experience, describing a cut that left their son upset because his wishes weren't followed and the result looked poor. A separate reviewer flags excessive swearing among staff and customers during a visit, noting they'd had a young daughter present. Across the largely positive accounts, the consistent thread is a cut delivered exactly as requested, in a setting customers describe as welcoming.

“Worst haircut ever!!! My son came back from this place so angry and upset. They didn’t listen to what he wanted and left him looking dreadful!! They man who did his cut was either not interested or not skilled and should not be cutting hair”
