Absolute perfection, lovely service and for a bargain, Skeleton barbers will now always be my go to! Thank you!!
Negative experience: Absolutely awful! My son had an appointment booked today with Arabella and the result was diabolical, shocking and was left unimpressed.

Fantastic experience: Very happy with tash and how she cut my hair. Very friendly and very easy to talk to highly recommend
Fantastic experience: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tash is hands down the best barber I’ve ever been to. Her attention to detail is incredible, and she always makes sure every cut is on point. The vibe is chilled, professional, and welcoming—she makes you feel like more than just a customer. I always leave the chair feeling fresh and confident. If you’re after a barber who genuinely cares about their craft, look no further than Tash. Highly recommend!
Positive experience: Better switch to Doubleshot. Most of the best barbers moved there.

Fantastic experience: One of - if not THE - best barbers in Bristol. A calm, chill atmosphere and lovely people! Definitely going back for my next one.
Fantastic experience: Always a joy coming to Skeleton Barbers! Bogdan has been me and my dads barber for over a year now and it’s a always a joy going to get a haircut. Great chats, good laughs, all is great and the whole team is great. Recommend without hesitation!
Fantastic experience: It took me a couple of years to find a barbers that were able to properly look after my beard. I have been using Skeleton Barbers for a few years now, even though I lived 220 miles away. I look forward to continuing to use them as I have moved closer and as they expand the business. Exciting times for Harry and the team.
Fantastic experience: Always great service. Best place to go for a beard trim/reshape in South Bristol.
Fantastic experience: Spot on cut and beard trim from Harry. Took the time and made the effort to explain what and why he was doing things and how I can maintain it moving forward. A beard wizard.
Fantastic experience: Always a pleasure to see Harry & the boys. Harry is very good at what he does & always feel better when I come out of there. Top tune’s aswell.
Negative experience: I came here for over a year for my haircuts - was pretty much perfect every time however I don't go here anymore due to being taken for granted as a customer. I booked here every time I needed a haircut for over a year, they are actually very good at what they do but every time I'd go I would be expected to wait at least 10 sometimes 15 minutes (I once waited for 22 minutes) - if I'm 10 minutes late they charge the full amount and cancel the appointment. The instance which put me off coming back was when I had a haircut booked and with 10 minutes until the appointment it was cancelled through the app with no explanation or reasoning whereas I can't cancel with less than 24 hours notice without receiving a charge for the full amount. Cancellations happen however I didn't receive any sort of message or apology, I'd taken time specifically for this haircut and it just goes to show they don't care about their customers and expect you to just accept whatever they say/do. I feel they're undeserving of my regular custom so I don't go here anymore - I'm sure the average person will have a good experience but just bear in mind the service has lots of caveats, The level of service also declines the more you return.

Fantastic experience: Great beard trim and haircut by Harry D. The barber shop is very nice and clean. Totally recommended if you want professionals working on your beard.
Fantastic experience: One of the best barbers in Bristol. I’ve been going to a lot of spots in town over the years and I’m very happy to make this my regular. I use Callum as he always knows what will look good and gives a 10/10 trim. The shop has a nice friendly vibe and I’ve never seen a bad cut from any of them.
Fantastic experience: The best barber in Bristol: I’ve always tried to find the cheapest barber around but you get to a point where you’re sick of the awful haircuts. So I tried about skeleton which is a bit more than what I’d usually pay BUT ITS SO WORTH IT. Like, if you’re contemplating that you want to save a bit of money there’s literally no point. Amazing place with good vibes and amazing barbers. Going to come back on the regular where possible. It’s the first time I’ve come out of a Bristol barbers with a smile as opposed to tears.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Bogdan for a while now but can always expect the same impeccable service, friendly chat, and top notch haircut! Thank you so much .
Negative experience: I need a bit of refresh just little skin fade it turned out to be the worst one charging £25 for I little refresh with a minimum experience I will never go back there!!!
Fantastic experience: Harry Davies gives a fantastic cut every time! Great chat! Won't go anywhere else!
Fantastic experience: Staff are always very friendly and helpful and they do great cuts. My partner comes here now after having difficulty finding places he liked before. Plus the style and aesthetic of the shop is great.
Fantastic experience: Came here a few weeks ago, Herb is very confident and friendly and did a 10/10 job, best trim I've ever had.
Fantastic experience: Great staff. Great banter. If you need a beard re-shape or hair cut this is the place to go, real experts who go the extra mile. I won’t go anywhere else.
Fantastic experience: Harry always remembers how I like my hair, and executed the cut perfectly!
Fantastic experience: Owner who did my trim was friendly, took the effort to talk through the cut and give me hair tips even though it was real busy, and did a neat cut. Also the vibe is sweet in there. Would recommend

Fantastic experience: Really impressed. My son was a first time customer and Harry D was great with him. Fab haircut and sound advice offered. Will defo return *****
Fantastic experience: Never been to this barbers before and as a trans man, I can be very nervous visiting new barbers as I still look pretty female in comparison to others further along their journey. Not once did I feel uncomfortable. All staff were welcoming and Owen, who cut my hair, was chatty, friendly and very thorough with his work. I would 100% visit again and although I don't live in bristol, I would happily coincide my visits with my routine hair cuts in order to use this barbers again.
Fantastic experience: Staff were friendly and done a great job on my son’s hair. We will definitely be returning.
Fantastic experience: Lovey staff done a proper job definitely my local barber s now
Fantastic experience: Great place to hair cut and your beard shaped. Friendly, chatted staff who make you feel welcomed.
Fantastic experience: Just had a haircut and bread trim from Harry 'the Legend' D. Looks fresh, great babers, good chat and really friendly! And for anyone looking he does afro hair!
Fantastic experience: Really happy with the haircut, Owen didn’t mind me having a kip while he did the cut. Will be back.
Fantastic experience: Harry is best barber for beards in the South West and I happily travel over 40 miles to see the Skeleton Barbers crew every few weeks without fail.
Fantastic experience: Harry is a top guy and this is a fantastic barber shop. Also excellent with Beards. 5*!
Fantastic experience: Both my boys had hair cuts with Rich today. Rich made sure they liked the look of their hair throughout their cuts. Both loved the final results. We will definitely be back
Fantastic experience: Top top! Quality, skills and hospitality. I visit every month for my trim needs! Highly recommend it.
Fantastic experience: Nice friendly staff. Good prices I now only come here for my beard trim
Positive experience: They fitted me in last minute and did a good job of my hair cut and beard shaping. Minimal chat which I appreciated. Nice layout. The only thing I found missing was that they don't do wet shaves for scalps.
