About Makas Barbers
Makas Barbers is a barber shop in London, found at 88 Sydenham Rd and open daily. The team cuts hair, including skin fades, and offers beard work alongside the haircut for customers who want both done in one visit. Children are catered for too, and parents bring their sons in for boys' haircuts. Payment is cash only, since the shop has no card machine, so customers bring cash with them to cover the cut.

Customer Review Summary
Haircuts are the main draw at this barber shop, with reviewers repeatedly describing leaving happy and praising the friendly staff. One customer who arrived after a bad trim elsewhere calls the skin fade the best they have had, saying the barber kept asking how they wanted it and did not rush. Others mention leaving happy with both hair and beard, friendly conversation and helpful suggestions, and one calls a barber so skilled with his tools. Close behind is how the shop treats children. Several parents describe the barbers as friendly and extremely patient with their young sons, and reviewers call the space neat, clean and professional. Short queues, if any, are also noted. The complaints are few but specific. One reviewer says a barber's hands sometimes smell strongly of smoke after a cigarette break, and the same reviewer says a card machine is mandatory. One parent brings their boys once a month and says both leave with great haircuts.

- Daniel Starkey
“Went here after a disastrous trim from another barbers. The man who cut my hair at Makas constantly asked me how I wanted it and made sure that it was cut to my specifications. I can honestly say that it's the best skin fade I've ever had! It didn't feel rushed, he took his time which made me feel valued as a customer, and the result was perfection. I would 100% recommend this barbers to anyone that asked. 5 stars”

“This barber shop hasn’t been here long but I’ve used it for the past couple of years. I take very few haircuts and allow my hair to grow long because at my age I fear I might lose it all. Excellent service with short queues if at all.”
- João Passos
“My favourite barber in the area. Very nice and friendly, including to my son. And I leave very happy with my hair and/or beard most times. Two notes I would give them: - Sometimes hands can smell terribly of smoke if they've just been for a cigarette. Not pleasant. Easily fixed - Having a card machine in this day and age is mandatory.”
