    “Adam excelled at doing my haircut. He was friendly, energetic, and made the whole experience enjoyable from start to finish. What I appreciated most was how thoroughly he explained the haircut process, listened to what I wanted, and offered helpful suggestions that suited my style. His attention to detail and professionalism really stood out, and I left feeling very happy with the result. If you're looking for a skilled barber who genuinely cares about his clients, I highly recommend Adam! Regards, Nani.”

    “Excellent hairdresser. Been going to Adam’s for 18 years. Would only change hairdresser if forced to. Great place to relax while you get your hair cut. Great music oscillating between hip hop, jazz, reggae, dub and house.”

    “I have always struggled with styling my own hair and knowing what’s best, I said this to Adam, before we started, Adam sat me down and told me where I was going wrong and what he could do to improve my look and suggested what to do. It has been 4 weeks since and my hair looks 10 times better and grown out much better. Well worth the price, best barbers iv been to yet”

    “I’ve had my haircut by Adam James ever since he opened his first shop in Queens Road Buckhurst Hill in about 1997. He has always give me an exceptional cut. He never uses electric trimmers, he’s all about scissor over comb. A true artisan and an exceptional craftsman. He takes huge pride in his work and it shows. His shop had always been more than a place to get a haircut. It’s a destination. The atmosphere is understated cool and always with great sounds playing. He’s one of life’s energetic, funny, considerate, erudite people. Conversations take unexpected turns and are always an utter delight! Something I always look forward to. I’m summary, I got a terrific haircut, great chat and a lovely place to get it done in. There’s nothing but to like. Best of luck in the new location on Loughton High Road. Even better than y to her old place.”

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers return for the haircut itself, a scissor over comb cut that several say they have kept coming back for over ten, almost 20, or 25 years, with one still travelling about 50 miles every month. Close behind is the advice. Reviewers describe the barber explaining the process, suggesting what suits their face shape or style, and telling one client where he was going wrong with his own styling. The relaxed atmosphere and the music come up repeatedly, with hip hop, jazz, reggae, dub and house named, alongside banter and conversation that reviewers look forward to. A few mention reasonably priced hair products sold without any pressure, and one notes late working hours that fit people in. The one practical point reviewers raise is that he is popular with many loyal customers, so one suggests booking ahead. No complaints appear in the reviews. One reviewer recalls being prioritised over a local celebrity who tried to walk in, and another says his six year old daughter already wants him to cut her son's hair.
