Fantastic experience: Best barber shop in the North East by miles. I’ve been going for years. Great friendly welcoming lads

rymasterp Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Visited Tom this evening, and I must say, he's a magician with scissors. I asked for a trim, but I think he gave me the 'slightly handsomer superhero' package. Now I'm just waiting for my cape to arrive in the mail. 10/10, would let him work his wizardry on my hair again.

Tara Hackett Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Excellent barbers. My 11year old is over the moon with his cut. He got exactly what he asked for.

Philip Overbury Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Second time I've been to rum razor, both times great hair cuts and friendly service.

Dave Henderson Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great place to get a good hair cut. Proper men's barber and the guys are friendly, helpful and skilled. Good banter too. Not the cheapest but you get what you pay for and that is a detailed and professional hair cut that takes time, not a 5 min slap and tickle. For me, it's good value for money.

Harry Jerman Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I had a great cut here from Liam who was really friendly and a very skilled barber. Prices are reasonable too. Would definitely recommend!

Kris Wall Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Can't rate 6 out of 5 so will have to settle at 5. Always welcome, great for a chat and also makes sure that my son is comfortable enough there, as my son can be a pain in the backside going anywhere. Never feels like you're paying for a service, more like supporting local businesses.

Alex Routledge Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great place for hair cut. Definitely a regular from now on. Love the vibe and everything.

Buchiro Published on Google 2 years ago

Mark Barry Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been a regular customer of Rumrazor since the early days. No barber works in there without being if the highest standard.... Today Liam manipulated my annoyingly straight and receding hair into a piece of art! See you again legends!

Anthony Barber Published on Google 3 years ago

Liam Shaw Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Haircut by Tom. I came in with a mop of hair and the vaguest idea of what I might want. I left with a new style and a new barber. Cheers. Edit 2023: Tom still a class act.

Kris Wear Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Very happy with the haircut from Sam. Would highly recommend booking in for a trim.

Nicki Willson Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Went here as I was sick of getting bad cuts around my area, never exactly what I asked for, so decided to pay a little extra and try this shop. Works on a pre booking system which is great. You can choose which barber you want and see all their free appointments prior to booking. I booked with Liam. Extremely friendly and helpful, the first time I have had a barber discuss what I wanted doing and give me advice on how best to achieve it, instead of just trying to rush me out the door. All the lads were very chilled and made a great atmosphere. Liam gave me a great haircut, exactly what I asked for. Great barber shop. I will definitely be making this my regular place.

David Fraser Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Best Barbers in the region. Paul & the team are incredibly friendly & will style your hair however you fancy and you can have a good chat with them whilst they do it. Great design in the interior which the kids (and adults) will love. Parking can be tight out front but there is plenty of space further along or in neighbouring streets. Brilliant haircuts tailored to you. Beard services using all the traditional methods are also available. There is also a sunbed and plenty of products for styling hair, oiling your beard etc. Couldn't recommend highly enough.

Liam Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Tom was great. Really happy with the cut and it’s even better knowing he’s round the corner. Thanks

Chantelle Welch Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great place, really nice guys and love my new trim. Top draw

skycrafts Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I first visited Rum Razor last year after a recommendation from a friend, and don't go anywhere else now. It's a great barber shop. I don't have 'easy hair' and Paul listened to what I said, and took time to get things right. He's passionate about giving a great service, and everyone is very friendly. You can see from the photos that the shop itself has a fantastic design and atmosphere. The booking system is brilliant too - easy to register and use - you can look online and take your time to pick the day and time that is best for you. Highly recommended.

Thom Bee Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been getting my hair cut by Paul for nearly seven years and have never been disappointed. He has created a very welcoming atmosphere (also an appropriate environment for kids :D) and takes time to get you know you, and how you like your hair. Rum Razor Barbershop really is a PREMIUM service (and you definitely get what you pay for when it comes to haircuts)! Make sure you book in advance using the website :D
