About The Mens Den
On Russell Street in Leek, The Mens Den is a barber shop set apart by a pool table on site alongside the cutting chairs. Music plays through the shop while the barbers work, and appointments are taken rather than walk-ins. Children's haircuts are a regular part of the schedule, with barbers talking young customers through each step and finishing most cuts in around 20 minutes. Some families have kept returning over multiple years, bringing sons back for repeat visits. The shop runs Monday to Saturday and closes on Sundays.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers consistently praise the barbers by name for taking time and care, with several parents singling out how patient staff are with kids, including one four year old whose barber talked him through the whole cut. Close behind is the undercut experience described by one customer, who had a last minute appointment fit in and got both a short term and long term styling option explained to them. Others highlight quick, professional cuts, with one regular noting a twenty minute turnaround for his son, and another describing the shop's pool table and relaxed atmosphere. One reviewer reports a conflicting experience, saying that despite asking three times for more length to be taken off, the barber insisted on cutting it "my way" and left the hair still too long. Most accounts end on satisfaction, including one grandmother thanking the shop after her grandson left happy and looking forward to returning.

“Took my son recently, had his hair done by Harvey. He had a great experience and really happy with his hair. Will definitely be back”
- Jason Carter
“I can’t recommend Men’s Den highly enough. I go regularly with my two boys, and every visit is genuinely brilliant. Ash, Harvey, and Jack are absolutely amazing at what they do — skilled, friendly, and consistently professional. They each have a great eye for detail and take real pride in their work. The team makes us all feel comfortable, welcome, and confident every time. The atmosphere in the shop is relaxed but upbeat - with some great music - and you can tell the barbers enjoy what they do. The whole experience feels personal, not rushed, and it’s clear that customer satisfaction matters to them. If you want a barbershop that consistently gets it right, look no further than Men’s Den. Ash, Harvey, and Jack are a fantastic team, and we wouldn’t go anywhere else.”

“Great lads that work here, have only had cuts from Jack and Harvey so far but both are welcoming and very friendly. My son will only come here to get his hair cut now as they are quick and very professional which means he is in and out in 20min.”

“Me and one of my sons have been going to the men's den for a few years now. Great haircut everytime, Ash and the other barbers take the time to understand what you are after and genuinely take pride in what they do. …”

“Harvey cut both mine and my 7 year olds hair and it was cut to the exact request for both of us. He’s a top bloke and can’t do enough for you. The shop on Russell street is brilliant too with a pool table and great atmosphere.”
