Al Barber: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Ahmad really is a talented barber. Really does the haircut to such a high standard & Wasim is great too.
Cheers Hamza! Glad to hear Ahmad and Wasim sorted you out – see you soon!"
Fantastic experience: I had just been in for a haircut, the young lad was on his last client, i had mentioned i had an interview and he did the gentlemen thing. He sat me down, he cut my hair after hours, and wished me all the luck. Top guy, deserves the 5 stars ❤️
Thanks DanDan, that means a lot! Glad we could help, good luck with the interview!"
Fantastic experience: Very good the guy gave me a discount too
Fantastic experience: Had an amazing experience from Hassan, I only went for a beard trim but he was very attentive and so intricate in terms of trimming my beard. Don't miss this place!
Massive thanks Ben ! Glad to hear Hassan absolutely nailed your beard trim - he's one of our top guys! Appreciate you sharing your experience and look forward to welcoming you back soon! Cheers for the top rating!
Fantastic experience: Hassan is a professional barber and very welcoming he made me feel comfortable and provided the best service I’ve had so far in a barber from Leeds. I would highly recommended booking Hassan for a haircut from the Wes tie directly.

Negative experience: Rang asking if they had space for a walk in as I needed a trim asap for my undercut and because I was a female they refused to cut my hair
sorry to hear that our team can't cut ladies' hair due to some internal policies. That being said, I'd be happy to make an exception for you. If you're still interested, I've got a spot free on the 28th. Shoot me an email and we can work something out. No promises, but I'll do my best to hook you up with a sick cut.
Fantastic experience: Very Happy with my haircut and wet shave
Fantastic experience: Did an amazing job with my haircut. Very kind and professional. Definitely going to be coming back here for another cut.
"Aww thanks so much! Glad you loved your haircut! See you soon!"

Fantastic experience: Excellent service. Amazing staff. great coffee. Best barber in Leeds.
Thanks Charlie. See you again soon
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Al Barber for many years now, every time him, and his other stylists have done a fantastic job, had great attention to detail and are at the top of their game. Wassim is a great guy, and is polite and friendly. The salon is not on the main road, so can be easily classed as a hidden gem. Cheers Wassim, See you soon
Fantastic experience: Always come back to Ryan he is a great Barber and an overall friendly guy who does a great job every time!
Fantastic experience: Ahmad was easy to talk to and got what I wanted done. Great service awesome result.
Fantastic experience: They did a fantastic job, very welcoming and lovely people! Would definitely recommend them.
Fantastic experience: First time customer in the new arcade shop. Fantastic experience!! I will be using them from now on.
Fantastic experience: I've been getting my hair cut at Al Barber for a while. Wassim is an absolutely professional barber, and I'm satisfied with the haircut every time!
Thank you Hector for the review! We greatly appreciate it
Fantastic experience: My 10 year old son loves his haircut. Very friendly and talented guys, will definitely be going back!
Fantastic experience: Very professional, perfect cut, 100% service and very friendly barber, will definitely come back, thank you very much guys...
Fantastic experience: If I said I just had a haircut it wouldn't do it justice..... that was an experience! Before : I quote my partner "your hair makes you look 60, your beard makes you look homeless." I was just a walk in and even though the lads were busy they went out of there way to fit me in and made me a coffee..... that later came in handy as I could have fell asleep on the chair it was that relaxing!! When my woman wants to go to primark for some retail therapy..... this is the place I'll go to for mine!!
Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience a premium cut and felt really valued as a customer offering the beard trim and asking if a comb would be good for my psoriasis were really great ways to show care for your client I look forward to visiting again for my next cut I’m glad I found my barber in Leeds
Fantastic experience: I have been to this barber shop three times now. Wassim is without a doubt the most respectable, kind, and patient barber I have ever had. Wassim is very knowledgeable about cutting hair and will have many recommendations for what would look good if you aren't sure yourself. If you are sure and know what you want he will cut it precisely to your discretion and is extremely professional in every regard. Outstanding haircuts every single time, you won't go anywhere else once you've been.
Fantastic experience: This place is phenomenal, took my 1 year old son there absolutely good experience very pleased with the outcome. Would definitely recommend for someone’s child’s first haircut very efficient & professional n kind definitely worth 5 stars
Fantastic experience: Amazing experience. 2 Syrian lads did my hair and beard. It was a perfect cut.they were very talkative and polite also. I have had bad experiences with long hair stylists in the past but this turned that around. Even they gave me a beard growth oil at the end for courtesy aswell! Fabulous service. Keep it up!
Thank you for the words and Eid Mubbark , have a good Eid
Fantastic experience: This barber shop is well worth a try, the owner and staff are very talkative, the barber atmosphere is good, and free tea and coffee are also provided. Although the price is a little high(Because I didn't see the exact price of a haircut at the front of the store), I am very satisfied with the service of the staff and the store manager, so I will still give good reviews. If I hadn't rushed to catch the train today, I might have had a longer time to enjoy my haircut.
Thank you for your kind words! We are glad to hear that you liked our services and we look forward to seeing you again soon.
Fantastic experience: Great service! Quick and nice hair cut and beard trim, with a lovely conversation.
Fantastic experience: 10/10 from the second you walk in, alan offers you a drink and makes you feel welcome, Top and friendly guy and he makes conversation while cutting your hair. Would highly recommend. Ill be returning to alan
Fantastic experience: Best haircut I’ve had in Leeds, the care and effort the team at Al Barber put into every trim is truly a benchmark all other Barbers should work towards, fantastic and very relaxing Hair&Beard trim; will be back!
Fantastic experience: Very polite, welcoming and most importantly a skilled barber! Very impressed with my haircut and will definitely be back soon
Fantastic experience: Very good barber, felt welcome and well looked after. They made sure that I was happy with my haircut which I was
Fantastic experience: Hey. Went in to have a long hair cut. Did see their impressive reviews. There was a hair dresser available at AL Barber - Amareet, who knew the job well around. I’m truly impressed with their work, and I feel it was worth the price that I paid for. Good job. Will recommend it :)
Glad you like it, thanks
Fantastic experience: Been coming here for a good few months now and Wassim has totally transformed my hair and its health. Proper barber with old school techniques and a proper gentleman. All workers there are kind, inviting and give the best service. Well worth a visit.
Fantastic experience: Professional guys in there who are very accommodating. They give great advice if you’re not particularly sure in what you want as well. Great service!
Fantastic experience: Called and got squeezed in for a last minute appointment on a visit to Leeds but it certainly wasn’t rushed. As soon as I walked in I was greeted with professionalism offered tea or coffee and even chocolate. It’s hands down the best haircut I’ve ever had and when I get chance to go back I will be doing. All around amazing little business and would recommend to anyone!
Thanks Lewis, very kind feedback , merry Christmas and Happy New year to you
Fantastic experience: Wassim sets himself out as a traditional gentleman's barber and is very serious about his shop being the best it can be. If you are sick of sitting in unisex salons, book Al Barber and enjoy a coffee in a classy man's place!
Great photo and feedback . We are Looking forward seeing you both again thanks
Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming here for a long time and always been impressed by the quality and professionalism. Best barber in leeds
Fantastic experience: In this barbershop specifically Where my expectation on the Service was amazing and it was good to see the Friendly Faces of the barbers, And i really like the results of my haircut specially the fade. 100% recommend it anyone who want to look fresh..!
Positive experience: I am visiting barbers to trim my beard for around 10 years now. I've visited barbers in Poland, Switzerland and the UK now and I think I have quite good understanding of what good barber is and what is not FOR ME. Please note I am not a professional in this field at all and I am just sharing my opinion for a consumer perspective. At Al Barber I was having beard trim + haircut in September 2023. I am quite puzzled about how to rate Al Barber, to be honest. Overall I was more dissapointed with the visit than happy as I did not like neither how my hair looked, nor my beard. Furthermore that was the "roughest" shaving I've ever get. Very not delicate and I felt quite "violated" rather than relaxed (maybe I'm being a sissy here). Last but not least service did last over an hour (around 1 hour 20 minutes) where for me it is a bit longer than it should. You will ask me "why you give 3 stars then and not 1?" I am a person that ALWAYS after razor shave has got ingrown hair and irritated skin. No matter what. After visit at Al Barber my skin after razor shave was clean and not irritated. I did not have a single ingrown hair. This was quite amazing for me and I have no idea how did they achieve it. I also have to say that guys are using a lot of product on you during the shave. Pre-shave, after shave, balm, oil, powder etc. I've never had as much product used on me before. Is that the reason why my skin was behaving so well after? Maybe. Or maybe was it the "roughness" of the shave? To summarize, I can definitely recommend Al Barber as a competent barbershop. Their sense of style and understanding of customer need maybe is not hitting my requirements but you cannot deny their craft with the razor. I think you should try them and if your look and style is similar to what Al Barber consider good look then I am sure you will be delighted with the visit. ::EDIT:: I've decided to update this review and give 1 more star due to oustanding customer service. After posting this review, owner of Al Barber did call me personally to thank for the review and to understand how better he can serve my needs for the future. I have to say this impressed me a lot, it shows great passion that he is having for this business, and if everyone would care about their work as much as Al Barber, world would be much better place. Once again thank you and all the best!
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, coffee & chocolates were a nice touch, and an excellent job on my beard. Lovey shape, sharp from a looks perspective, soft to the touch :-)
Was nice seeing you today Dominic, looking forward to cut your hair , thank you for the feedback
Fantastic experience: Great haircut by Mr Wassim. Possibly the best haircut I've ever had. Mr Wassim and his colleague are very pleasant and interesting to speak with. I look forward to returning soon.
So kind from you James, we are looking forward seeing you back
Fantastic experience: Best haircut I've had in many a year I was really taken care of Got the full works at a brilliant price Will definitely be coming back
Thanks Jonny, looking forward seeing you again, Wassim
Fantastic experience: Lovely guys and great fade haircut for my 7 year old son. He is very happy!
Positive experience: Had a haircut by Waseem which was horrible and expensive, came back and got it somewhat fixed by Ahmed. If you're visiting, Ahmed is a well crafted barber..
Fantastic experience: Best haircut my teenager has had and fantastic friendly service too. Highly recommended
Fantastic experience: The shop is tucked in the city centre. A small, unassuming place. Ryan's attention to detail and skillful technique resulted in a flawless and stylish haircut that exceeded my expectations.
Thank you for your kindness, Dr .
Looking forward seeing you again in the next haircut ♂️
Fantastic experience: Had a beard trim with Ryan, a nice lad, easy to talk to. Good barber and was careful with my beard trim not taking too much off and going slowly, shaped exactly as I wanted. Would recommend to others for sure!
Fantastic experience: Ryan cut my hair today, what a top guy! Haircut on point and was great experience! Will definitely come back!
Fantastic experience: I was here during a visit to Leeds recently. I am extremely pleased with the professionalism and friendly attitude. Had a superb chat and cut. Next time I am in Leeds and in need of a haircut or I just want to put some style on, I'll be here.
Fantastic experience: Just had my haircut, amazing!! Friendly barbers and they’re really good and professional!
Fantastic experience: The best barber on Leeds by far. Wassim and his team are great people with great customer service. Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: Waseem is a great barber with very friendly hospitality. Thank you for your time, attention and care, we look forward to coming back!
Fantastic experience: Incredibly talented and friendly staff here. I've gone 3 times now and they've always done the job exactly how I wanted, and they make you feel comfortable and treat you like a king. Respect!
Will that is so kind, Thanks a lot, see you next time
Fantastic experience: Amazing service, very friendly. Precision cut with so much attention to detail. Definitely going to come next time as well.
Negative experience: I never leave reviews but this one deserves a honest review. I went here for about four months, the owner never cut my hair how I asked for it and would always go too high. The other guy was great so I would book him. But the owner sometimes would swap things around meaning I had the owner, he never listened to what I was asking for. He would try to sell me everything in the shop even beard products when I have no beard. I made a booking one day and went in, it was me next, I’m sat looking at my phone and I look up to someone else sitting in the chair, I said is it not me and he laughs and says you were busy on your phone at which point I left as I needed to go to work. I booked again with the guy I liked, for some strange reason the owner I think was called wassim just took over and started cutting it really fast but it’s not what I wanted. I left and wasn’t happy. I tried one last time I’m sat waiting but someone else walked in and the owner sat him down with the guy I wanted and I was booked with, wassim started cutting my hair and then they swapped. What was going on I don’t know, but I ended up with a bad hair cut over Christmas and haven’t been back I bought some products once, two weeks later I go in and he tried selling me the same products again, I told him they’ll last me months but he wouldn’t stop. Very expensive and I never got treated well. I’ve heard similar stories about him from barbers I go to in town centre. I was disappointed being treated like that
Fantastic experience: True artists work here, first off I had a cut from Ryan a month ago and was very impressed. Today I had a scissor cut, wash & beard from Wassim. I’ve been trying every barber in town and this is the best yet, and cheaper than most at this level.
Fantastic experience: My first time here today and it was an absolute delight! Great attention to detail and precision work! Thanks for the fantastic service! Worth every penny!
Positive experience: Nice little Barbers. They did a really good job with my 4 year olds hair. £17 was just a little steep.
Fantastic experience: One of the best barbers and men's hair salons in Leeds, the attention to detail they provide is absolutely outstanding. The atmosphere is great, all the staff are friendly and happy to chat to you, they always offer you tea or coffee, hot towels for your face, it feels like a spa day. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Best barbershop experience I've had in Leeds Quality haircut in good time. Great staff add to the top experience making you feel welcome and providing a top service as they give you the trim that you want at a high quality making the price absolutely worth it! Will definitely be coming back.
Thanks so much
Fantastic experience: Started going there in the summer after reading the positive reviews on here and not regretted it. Wassim has been brilliant, really attentive and I've been incredibly happy each time.
Fantastic experience: First time at al barbers and Ryan was brilliant from start to finish. Very professional, Great haircut & very welcoming:) overall fab experience. Love Lara and George.
Fantastic experience: Wassim is extremely nice and professional. I would definitely recommend anyone looking for the best barber in town!
Fantastic experience: Really impressed with my first visit. Booked it after reading the review in Google. Now, I’m going to visit every time I need a hair cut. Adam is exceptional. Understood what I wanted and the result is just impressive. Changed my boring look in to a fresh new one. I just love it. Great work❤️

Fantastic experience: Adam did a great job turning my mop of a hairstyle into something I don't have to hide behind a hat. Would definitely recommend!
Fantastic experience: I took my son for the first time to the al barber and Adam gave him great haircut that he wanted and the staff are really friendly!! Thank you so much.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic service from Adam and his helper - a great haircut and he's a master with the beard! Very reasonably priced too. Will definitely visit again.
Thanks so much Jonathan, looking forward seeing you again
Fantastic experience: This is my second visit after two months from my last one and I never seem disappointed after my haircut. I have been to quite a few barbers before but they always rush to cut your hair and at sometimes you don’t like what they have done. At this barbers it’s different they take your time and do everything in detail it’s more like a hairdressing atmosphere I will be coming back getting my regular trim in two months time
That is a great feedback:) thanks so much!! I m looking forward to seeing you again in two months
Fantastic experience: My son visited and had a great experience. He would come again. “Dead friendly” he said. Likes his hair cut too if course
Fantastic experience: Owner is a true gentleman, all staff I've had my hair cut by have been friendly, polite and well trained. Excellent barber shop
Thanks so much Max
Fantastic experience: Excellent service, great cut and just an overall fantastic experience. I don't think I will change my barber any time soon!
Fantastic experience: This was my first experience of barbers in Leeds after relocating here. Wassim was very professional and offered an excellent service, very good value for money!
Thanks Adam, enjoy the holiday :)
Fantastic experience: Fantastic service, very friendly. Precision cut with so much attention to detail. Best haircut I have had in a long time.
Fantastic experience: Majd gave me an increase haircut!! He paid really good attention to small details and made sure everything was sharp. Good experience, nice talks and overall warming experience. Thanks a lot Majd :)
Fantastic experience: Best haircut I’ve had for quite some time! It was my first time visiting, but definitely not the last.
