About Essi Barber💈
Colouring and styling sit alongside the clippers at Essi Barber, a barber shop at 48 S Ealing Rd in London, where balayage and curling are on the service list rather than cuts alone. Haircuts remain the core of the work, with skin fades among the finishes offered. A team of barbers and stylists works the floor, and customers can ask for the one they want on arrival. The shop runs on walk-ins rather than appointments, so no booking is needed, and it opens daily for anyone fitting a cut around work or the weekend. Beard trims are handled here too, with a hot towel and skin products applied to the face as part of the visit.

Customer Review Summary
Haircuts done slowly and with close attention are what reviewers return to most, with several noting the barbers do not rush and keep working until the cut matches exactly what was asked for. Skin fades draw specific praise, and close behind come the styling and colour work, with one customer describing a balayage and cut that came out just as she had pictured it, and another a first time cut and curl. Beard trims and grooming extras also come up, along with descriptions of the staff as friendly, patient and welcoming from the moment of walking in. Visitors to the area and first timers report the same result as regulars, and several say they have already recommended the shop to friends or plan to book again. One reviewer, told by the barber that he seemed to be having a bad day, was given a free hot towel and beard trim on top of his haircut, plus products for his skin, and could not persuade him to accept a tip.

“Really made my day. Ali cut my hair, I was so happy with the haircut, and he could tell I was having a bad day. He gave me a hot towel and beard trim for free ontop of the haircut, and used some products to clear my skin and moisturise it. I insisted on tipping and he wouldnt let me. 10/10 service and the cut looks great. Definitely ask for Ali, this is now my barber.”
