The Loft Barbers Lounge: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Great people and a quality haircut every time.
Fantastic experience: Top quality as always, expertly talked through different styles and options to suit my hair and haven’t looked back since, could not recommend more highly!
Fantastic experience: My first appointment at the Loft, and it was exactly what I was hoping for. My haircut was with Tom, and he really took the time to understand what I wanted, and gave me great advice on what would be best for me. Brilliant service, already booked my next appointment. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: My 13 year old son loves getting his hair cut here. Always cut to a vey high standard. Very friendly and stylish. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Great experience well pleased with the cut and the chat plus coffee ☕
Fantastic experience: I had my hair cut by Danny, and he was absolutely fantastic. He paid incredible attention to detail, ensuring every strand was perfect. His professionalism and friendly nature made the experience truly enjoyable. I left feeling refreshed and impressed by his skill. Highly recommended! :)
Fantastic experience: Hands down the best barbers in the area. Really glad to have dound this place. Ask Tom how his Xmas day was!
Fantastic experience: Danny is very good, very thorough and very knowledgeable. Great haircut and good conversation! Salon has a cool, relaxed vibe. A nice place to be, if like me, you dont really relish having your hair cut!
Fantastic experience: Relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Ben took time to find out what I wanted and checked in throughout the haircut to make sure I was happy. Drink offered on arrival too. Overall, a great experience!
Fantastic experience: I've been going to The Loft for nearly 9 years now and, even though I've now moved away from the city, I still return to get my hair done here. Adam is phenomenal at what he does, knows exactly what he's doing and has broad expertise and knowledge in it, too. I have had one hair cut elsewhere in those entire 9 years, only because of staff illness which is totally fair... but I did have to get that one fixed by Adam once he returned! Brilliant work guys, never disappoint, and I hope to return for as long as you'll keep having me.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely great service, and inviting atmosphere at the shop. Danny went an extra mile to style hair, according to my needs. Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Fantastic haircut and fun but professional atmosphere. Would recommend.
Fantastic experience: Top class from Adam as normal
Fantastic experience: Friendly Place, great cut, great chat and good view over the river. Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Can't go wrong with Danny and the team. Nice cup of coffee, good old chin wag and a great haircut at the end of it.
Fantastic experience: First visit to the Loft this week. Tom did a great cut and good conversation. Will be back again soon.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been getting my hair cut here for over two years, and I can honestly say this is the most consistent and reliable barber I’ve ever had. The attention to detail is exceptional — every fade is clean, every line is sharp, and he always makes sure the cut suits what I’m going for. What keeps me coming back is the professionalism. He takes his time, doesn’t rush, and clearly takes pride in his work. The shop is always welcoming, the conversation is easy, and I walk out looking better than I walked in every single time. If you want a barber who actually listens, delivers consistently high-quality cuts, and genuinely cares about his clients, this is the place. Couldn’t recommend him more.
Thankyou for the five stars Marsh
Fantastic experience: Stoked with the hair cut by Robbie! I'd go as far as saying the best I've ever gotten. I have some funky fuzzy straight hair, that's not easy to style. Great vibe in there too, super chill. Thanks!
Negative experience: When I entered the loft I wasn’t greeted in the way I expect , all other customers were offered something to drink. I was not , the barber seemed to have a dislike towards me. He washed my hair with cold water without asking me about the temperature beforehand . To finish it off the haircut is of low quality for a senior barber and not what I expect for 30£. I left the barber feeling unsatisfied and sad about my haircut
Hi Ruslan,
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations, and we appreciate the opportunity to give some clarity on your visit as some points aren’t quite correct.
Upon review of your appointment history, we saw that your original booking the day before was unattended without notice. When you rebooked for the following day, our team reached out to confirm your arrival. You cut the phone off after we introduced ourselves as The Loft Barbers. Given the no-show the day before, and cutting the phone off, we saw it fit that we cancel the second appointment and you were notified of this via email. Despite this, you still arrived and we were luckily able to accommodate you.
We also want to make it clear that our booking system notifies us when an email is opened. The cancellation email for your appointment was opened four separate times, which confirms it was received and viewed. Despite this, you still arrived for the appointment, which puts us in a difficult position with our schedule but we still did all we could to make sure you were attended to.
Your greeting may have felt different from our usual seamless welcome, as your barber took time to address the scheduling issue. However, the service that followed was delivered with professionalism. Your appointment extended to 55 minutes — beyond the standard 45 — and your barber checked in with you repeatedly to ensure you were completely satisfied, to which you confirmed you were happy throughout.
Regarding refreshments, the offer was made once your appointment was underway, after our initial conversation about the missed booking, and you declined.
In addition, although your appointment was not made under a student category, your barber still asked and applied the reduced £27 student rate rather than the standard £30.
We remain committed to excellence, and your feedback helps us uphold those standards. We appreciate your visit and wish you all the very best going forward.

Thanks for the review Shane see you again soon and have a great weekend at the big day
Fantastic experience: Great barbers, it’s extremely professional, relaxed and a great haircut. Been getting my haircut here for years, wouldn’t go anywhere else. Well done team!
Thanks for the great review we do appreciate you leaving us one and we look forward to seeing you soon
Fantastic experience: Top quality skin fade and beard trim by Danny. Great attention to detail. Nice dude. You get what you pay for in terms of the whole experience, professionalism and level of cut.
Negative experience: Hate to leave a bad review as some of the people who work here seem nice, but I'm leaving it based on the following: 1) Asked for my fade to be higher, the barber just completely ignored me 2) The barber didn't ask how much length I wanted off the top, they just did what they wanted 3) This was the biggest issue - when paying the barber had me stood like a lemon on the other side of the till for a good few minutes whilst he messaged people on his phone before charging me?? At the current price point it should be a premium service, but unfortunately based on the quality of the cut and poor customer service, it was all below average. Perhaps a one off event, but from my experience it didn't meet my expectations at all.
Hi Luke this is Danny the owner. We are sorry you have left feeling disapointed, we expect high standards from our team so please rest assure this will be looked at by the Manager as a matter of priority over the coming days and we will be in touch.
Thankyou for your feed back I am sorry it wasn't the experience it should have been.
Fantastic experience: Great experience getting my hair cut at The Loft by Tom. Friendly and professional service. Really nice atmosphere and decor. My first time getting a 'proper' haircut since the pandemic, and it was worth it!
Fantastic experience: Went yesterday for the first time, best trim I’ve had in ages. Super happy! I’ve already booked to go see Danny again. Thank you
Fantastic experience: I have been using this barbers for 5 years, great haircut, chilled atmosphere and just perfect for 45 minutes out of the rat race. Thanks Adam and Danny
Cheers Colin always great having you in and catchin up
