Fantastic experience: Arman did a great cut and beard shape
Negative experience: Don’t waste your time. I booked online for Adam on Sat 7th March, rushed back to make the appointment, he was not there and I was told to come back tomorrow. The next day, I called and agreed to be there for 2pm. At 2.10pm, he calls for the next person and tells me it wasn’t a booking. Honestly, what else are you meant to do? Why would anyone waste their weekend going from cancelled booking to cancelled booking. Don’t bother - there are better haircuts and service not far away. Update: when you write a bad review, they will message you and suggest it’s all your fault (as I have just received). They won’t accept any feedback that’s negative, and ask for positive reviews when you are there - which I previously provided btw.
