⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I’ve been going to the Gents of London Barbers for a year now… The atmosphere is great and feels really retro . I recommend the place for everyone who wants a precise and quality haircut!
-
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I’m really picky about my hair and have changed barbers more time than I can remember until I found Gents of London Barber shop about 3 years ago – I don’t have my haircut anywhere else now.
-
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Great service, great cut and friendly staff. Reservation recommended but I still got my haircut without booking.
-
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐A really on point barbershop that serves a flavourful espresso and plays quality music. But we’re here for the haircut and Sammy really delivers. She knows exactly how to cut a gentleman’s hair to the sharpest style. Fabulous!
-
⭐⭐⭐⭐Great atmosphere and great barber. I had a great haircut here and a nice chat. I have hair they tends to grow straight out and spikes if cut too short, and often other barbers can’t quite seem to understand it- but here they understood my hair type and were able to cater for this.
-
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Great barbers shop. Greg has been cutting my thick and difficult hair for years and manages to make it look good every time. Espresso available every visit, top tunes and their products are really good too. Ive tried the Carbon Clay and the Design Paste. Cant go wrong.
