    Both me and my girlfriend have seen Alex for over a year now, could not be happier. Lovely guy who always does a great job and really knows his stuff.

    Alex took time to understand my exact needs before giving me the best beard trim I have ever had. It’s always great to meet someone who loves what they do. Thanks Alex for a truly standout customer experience. Won’t be going anywhere else.

    Alex did an amazing job at advising and styling my teenage son’s hair for the first time today and he absolutely loves the result! Alex took the time to talk through what my son does and doesn’t like before starting and checked with him throughout, plus chatted away to him about gaming and football! He’s so happy with his new style!

    I’ve never had a bad experience in all the years I’ve been going here. All the staff are so friendly every time without fail. Alex is my stylist, he absolutely goes above and beyond each and every time. All the different things I’ve wanted to do with my hair is normally a brief description followed by ‘but I’m not sure, just do your thing, I trust you’ and he always gets it right. Even years back I told him that an old school wet shave would be awesome, I come back a month or two later and he’s fully qualified in wet shaves and has it ready to go. Top service from all, couldn’t thank them all enough, especially Alex.
