Negative experience: Booked appointment originally for a time, saw that there was an appointment hour earlier so booked that.. half hour later get a text saying system glitch and cannot honour appointment. Then states couldn’t do original appointment as that had been filled! Rubbish customer service and the phone call to try and get it clarified was painful. ***Avoid***

Fantastic experience: Nothing but a joy as always coming here, great service and awesome atmosphere. Matt did a fantastic job with my hair and beard. Such a nice guy. I would highly recommend him

Pip Wootton Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Excellent service. My son (19) has ASD and getting his haircut in the past has always been quite traumatic, resulting in him putting off haircuts for as long as possible. It would often take him days to get over the experience. The staff at The Barbers Lounge were amazing! They suggested visits and chats prior to the hair cut which allowed them to make adjustments to suit his needs. The appointment was relaxed as they had allowed more time, giving my son plenty of opportunities to feedback and feel less traumatised by the whole experience. He has walked away happy and less exhausted. He knows that if he wants any small adjustments he can just go back. He now feels that he will be able to get his haircut more regularly and is even considering a beard trim! I am incredibly grateful for the care and understanding that they showed. It is a weight off my mind that we have finally found somewhere that my son is happy to have his haircut!

Shelley Cook Published on Google 1 year ago

Ross Bowles Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Lovely experience as always. Staff there are very friendly and they have created a great environment.

Amanda Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: My hair isn't the easiest to cut! I know this because every hairdresser and barber I've been to over many years has told me this. I tried so many places but couldn't find one hairdresser or barber I was truly happy with; no one was able to blend my hair well. After another terrible blend, I looked up the best barbers in Portsmouth and decided to try The Barber's Lounge. I figured I'd need to pay a lot more but the prices surprised me as they weren't as high as I thought they'd be for a top end barber. I chose to book in with Chloe Beth, based entirely on the good reviews she has. Not only is she a lovely person, she's a fantastic barber and I was really impressed with my haircut! That was almost a year ago, but every cut since has been great. It's given me more confidence too - I used to wear a hat or cap to hide a bad blend! I'm so impressed with every haircut I have there, I won't go anywhere else. I highly recommend The Barber's Lounge! Pros * Clean, tidy and warm/cool shop * Friendly atmosphere, skilled barbers * Good music and a good range of services * Progressive approach, everyone welcome * Accessible entrance ♿ * Nearcut app makes it easy to book appointments * Great haircuts! Cons? * Prices are fair, but slightly higher than other barbers I've been to (but totally worth the price) * Book in advance as appointments go quickly!

Parsnips Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Been going here for almost a year now. Everyone there is too kind, always saying hello with a smile as you walk through the door. Alfie who cuts my hair has taken me through multiple hairstyles, all of which were top quality and made me look and feel 100% better. Great man too, easy to talk to about anything and very understanding. Couldn’t recommend him or the shop enough!

Julie Trundle Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Even though I’m female, Zoe does a tremendous job of cutting my hair. Not much effort is needed to style compared to paying a fortune at the hairdressers. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I moved house recently which comes with the headache of finding a new barber who can nail your haircut... Booked via nearcut and couldn't recommend Sam highly enough who smashed it first time! Professional and just a top bloke who knows his craft. Give it a go if you're in the Cosham/Hilsea area!

Fantastic experience: Great place, I’ve used many barbers in Portsmouth and struggled to find one that fits. After my first visit I know this is the place for me, atmosphere it’s great and Sam is a great bloke. Couldn’t be happier with my cut, even the Mrs said it’s the best cut and beard trim I’ve had so as soon as I picked myself up off the floor I immediately booked my second appointment. Thanks for a great job

IVAN GERMANOFF Published on Google 2 years ago

Negative experience: Love it when I walk in and find two barbers playing on their phones with no customers in sight only to be told that I can’t have a haircut if I don’t have an appointment. I give one chance and that’s it!

Hi Ivan,
Unfortunately the time in-between appointments may make us look not busy, but appointments take priority and it wouldn’t be fair on a customer who had the foresight to book ahead to miss their time slot. On the particular day you visited, we had two barbers on annual leave which decreased our walk-in availability. We suggest booking ahead to avoid disappointment.

graham rose Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Excellent haircut and facial from Chloe Beth. I felt so relaxed during the facial I almost fell asleep. Was just intending to go there as a one off but will now be treating myself again. Very calm atmosphere and brilliant service.

Arun Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love and would recommend the Barbers Lounge to anyone! Chloe cut my hair perfectly, the hair was so long and I wasn't sure about the style, but she did recommend a style and it is perfect for my face. Looking forward to visiting again.

Ravi Desai Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Having not been in Portsmouth for very long I was in need of finding a high quality barber shop for reasonable prices. The Barbers Lounge provides this and much much more. Not only do they provide an amazing service but all the staff are kind-hearted individuals who provide the highest level of professionalism as well. I have to give special credit to Alfie who I trust each & every time with my beard/hair trim and every time does not fail to provide a high standard of service whilst also listening and providing a good level of conversation at the same time.

George Roberts Published on Google 2 years ago
