Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often come for the fade, with the clean skin fade and the blend singled out repeatedly, along with the beard trim and moustache work that several say was done in the same visit. Praise for attention to detail runs throughout, and one reviewer with curly hair says the texture on top was exactly what they wanted. Close behind is the friendly, welcoming team, and a few mention free drinks offered to everyone waiting, including a free soft drink. Many call the price reasonable or unbeatable for the city centre, and one who left another barber over messed-up appointments says this shop is levels higher. Walk-ins are mentioned, and one reviewer notes the location is close to the tram stop. The one complaint comes from a reviewer who wanted longer, messy hair to brush over the ears and was given a taper that left the sides too short, though the back and top were left as asked. Several say they are returning, and one calls it their go-to barbers.

“First time trying this barbers and it was a very pleasant experience. All of the staff were friendly and welcoming. Free drinks were offered, not just to me but all customers waiting, although the wait time was not long. Not only was the customer service good, but the haircut and beard trim was top notch too. Overall a great experience.”

“Amazing super-professional cut and fade by Masti at a reasonable price for city centre barbers. I am a previous customer of Barbr Club which started messing up my appointments. This barbers is levels higher. Did my moustache too in the price. Will return.”

“I had a brilliant haircut here and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the service. The staff were so nice, friendly, and welcoming from start to finish. Ahmad cut my hair and he did an amazing job, really professional and clearly knows what he’s doing. I’m extremely pleased with the result and this place is now my go-to barbers. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Top service, top experience, top everything.”
- Toby Moss
“Very friendly, gave a free soft drink, great prices, so all around a great barber. I like longer messy hair so I wanted a shape up and just taking the back in slightly and to still be able to brush my hair over my ear. He didn’t take too much off the top which is great and the back looked great but he gave me a taper which wasn’t quite what I was after. I like to brush my hair over my ear so it was a bit too short on the sides for my liking.”
