The Barber Shop: Reviews
Negative experience: Expensive for children. Loud music . There are other barber shops in the area. Also felt rushed. Quite a nice haircut but very expensive.
Sorry to hear about your experience.
We are very proud of our work and unfortunately it come with a price.
Kind regards

Fantastic experience: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – Amazing First Haircut Experience at The Barber Shop Took our 15-month-old son to The Barber Shop for his first proper haircut and had a fantastic experience. We weren’t sure what way to have the style haircut we wanted for him to suit him best, but the team were really helpful and guided us to the perfect choice. The lady who cut his hair was brilliant – so patient and gentle. Our little one was fascinated by everything and kept trying to grab the tools, but she handled it all effortlessly. The haircut turned out great, and the whole experience was calm and professional. It’s hard to find a barbershop you can truly trust, especially with young children, so we’re really happy we found The Barber Shop – and it just happens to be our most local, too! Highly recommend. 10/10.
Thank you so much best Pedro
Negative experience: I had a very disappointing experience here. Not only was my haircut poorly done, but I was also cut during the process, which left a noticeable mark on my skin. A haircut should never feel unsafe, and the end result was far from what I expected. I would not recommend this place based on my experience.
Really sorry but looking at the photo your hair line is already grown therefore is not a fresh haircut and the supposed cut is more like a scratch not done with a razor.
I will be happy to refund your money and a sincere apology if you tell me when you came to the shop a a full photo of you so I can check the cameras other than that it seems to me a scam.
All the best Pedro
Fantastic experience: Booked Scissor Cut & As other times, great service + vg free coffee & Hot Towel to finish...Excellent Value for money to an OAP
Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: Pedro and the lads give a great haircut. Take their time and make sure they get what you ask for. Excellent coffee too!

Fantastic experience: The best barber by a million miles. 1st class service and Pedro and the team are amazing. I would never go anywhere else agin.
Thank you so much best Pedro
Fantastic experience: Always a fantastic visit, the staff are always very friendly and welcoming. Always a great job done and they deal with the kids perfectly. My son will only have his hair cut here, he won't let anyone else cut his hair. Highly recommended always!
Thank you so much best Pedro
Fantastic experience: Always got my hair cut here and had a great experience. I then supported a young lad with autism here every few weeks for a couple of years and they made him feel so welcome. What a great team! I’ve moved away but I need my hair cut back in Guildford again and won’t go anywhere else!
Thank you so much best Pedro
Fantastic experience: My son and I have been using The Barber Shop for a number of years now. They're always friendly and do a great job. Whether it be a short back & sides, a skin fade or beard trim and shape, we always leave there happy with the results.
Thank you so much best Pedro
Positive experience: Great and friendly barbers but I'd say it's not very family/child friendly as they usually tend to have explicit music videos played at the salon
Thank you so much, sorry to hear regarding the videos, we use YouTube and sometimes is difficult to control what videos come up specially in this day and age.
We will try in the future to pay more attention.
Best Pedro
Fantastic experience: These barbers are simply the best. Handsdown best haircut in surrey.

Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend them enough. My partner and 2 sons regularly get their hair cut here. They are so good and attentive with my 5 and 2 year old. No matter how much they wriggle they always get a quality hair cut. They are always busy here and it's no wonder. It is worth the wait. Thank you.
Thank you so much best Pedro
Fantastic experience: Great team, always nice haircuts. Even if you have to wait, it is really worth it. On top, they have a cool atmosphere (Latin music and videos).

Fantastic experience: I have been going for over 3 years and it’s a great Barber’s. Pedro is a great guy and runs the business well. The quality of the haircuts are excellent.
Thank you so much best Pedro
Negative experience: Due long absence of my barber in Addlestone, I was referred by a friend to this shop with specific recommendation to Pedro. I have shown him a photo of what it needs to be. Instead of being honest if he does not know how to do it, he took the job and ruined a style that took months to be build. And this is not even the worse. He used some chemical (perhaps powder) causing all my skin to become sticky, eventually going into my eyes and inflamating it. I spend the rest of the day, taking bath and using various shampoos and soups over and over again to get rid of this. One day completely ruined and a few months of building again to the style. This is the cost of my visit there. Decide for yourself.
I am really sorry to hear about your experience in our shop, we are very proud of our work.
I do not know regarding your skin reaction as no chemicals are use in our shop.
Once again I am really sorry for any inconvenience caused and I hope you find a good barber shop in the near future best Pedro

Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: My husband has been going since the Barber shop opened 10 years ago and we have always taken our three sons as well. We are always made to feel very welcome and they were amazing with our middle son who was very anxious and always cried. They spent time with him, distracted him, explained what they were doing and let him hold the brush etc this was amazing as he was only a toddler and he soon became used to it. We would highly recommend the barber shop for the whole family. Many thanks for always being so welcoming, friendly and reasonably priced! Special thanks to Pedro and the team.
Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: Used this place for several years. Pedro and his team are great - not to mention the coffee!

Thank you so much
Negative experience: Nasty nasty people. They say they close at 7pm on Friday but as soon as I arrived in front of the the door at 4.55pm (Fri 21st Jan 22) some guy came running across the shop to put closed sign on my face. Whilst everyone in the barber shop was staring at me. I’m not quite sure what just happened or why but one thing comes to mind, which, I’d rather not want to believe! Question above says, how can “The Barber Shop” improve? Let The Barber Shop answer the question instead of me!
Hello Nico,
It is sad to read your comment, but I am sure you have not been to the barber shop and do not know how we operate.
My name is Pedro, and I was the guy who turned the sign from open to close.
It would be impossible for me or any of the clients inside the shop to see you coming, with the lights inside and the darkness outside,
You are more than welcome to see for yourself.
"Remember, it is winter."
We decided to close the door at 5:45 pm, not 4:55pm as you wrote and the reason was from time to time and thanks to all our loyal clientele we get extremely busy and we have to close the door early in order to look after the clients already inside the shop.
Sometimes, when you analyse situations, it is really important to have a good frame of mind.
All the best.
Fantastic experience: Have been taking my little boy here since he was 18months and they have always been amazing with him!! Haircuts are always great and staff are so friendly.
Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: I have now been to the Barber Shop at least 3 times and every single time I have come away feeling really, really pleased with both the hair cut and the beard trim that Big Diego gave me. He is a real artist and a lovely bloke. The place is always clean and tidy, everyone is very punctual, the telly helps distract and pass the time, the service is great value, you can get a cup of tea and the result is always 100%. Top Marks - I shall continue going there until all my hair falls out!
Thank you so much best

Oh we like the music to
Thank you so much

Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: Best barber shop around! Couldn’t recommend these boys enough, popped in for a cut today and had Alex. Lots of chatter and a great atmosphere. Wouldn’t even consider going to any other barbers anymore, these boys are the best at what they do!!
Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: The best barbershop in Guildford. I’ve been going here for the past 4/5 years and they consistently provide excellent service and the freshest cuts. Staff are super friendly and I have had cuts from most of the barbers here (Eddy, Pedro, Alex, Diego). I can honestly say I have never been to a barbershop with so many quality barbers under one roof.
Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: Great place to get a fresh trim every other week. Diego, Eddie, Pedro and Alex are all genuine, kind and provide great conservation as well as sick haircuts every single time. You can tell they all enjoy what they do and they do it well. Pleasure being a regular customer
Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: I have been going to eddy for a couple of years now and he is a top tier barber as well as all the other barbers in there. Nice, welcome shop and queues never tend to be too long
Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: The barber shop guys provide top class service consistently. I’ve been going here for 3 years regularly. The attention to detail shown by Eddy, Pedro and the rest of the guys when cutting clients hair is brilliant. Not only are the haircuts brilliant the guys who work there are also top draw. This is the best barber shop I’ve ever been to.
Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to the barber shop for almost three years with my friends. The guys are the best in the business. They are professional and take great pride in what they do. I couldn’t recommend the barber shop more. The store is great, staff are friendly and there’s always good coffee on the pot
Thank you so much
Negative experience: I am not happy with the service, the hairdresser was very unprofessional and I had to go to another barbershop to fix the bad haircut he gave me, they should put people with experience, for my part I will never return
I am really sorry to hear that, could you please let me know which barber cut your hair? Because we do not have any unexperienced barbers they all have a great amount of experience!! I would really appreciate if you could please let me know when you came to the shop in order to look at the cameras and confirm your comment and address it to the revelant barber.
Kind regards Pedro
Negative experience: Very friendly staff but they really need to work on their hygiene standards. Clippers, scissors, and combs are left with the hair of the previous customers when used on your head - let alone be sterilised. Been there 4-5 times and it's always the same - I even was the 1st customer of the day and still the kit was not clean. Such a shame.
Hello Nick, really sorry to hear that, we always strive to offer an excellent service and hygiene is one of them.
I really appreciate your comment and we will make sure that we will work on it.
Kind regards Pedro
Fantastic experience: Always a good hair cut and and chat with Pedro and the boys. Best barbers around thanks.
Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: Fantastic service and cut as always. Both myself and my son use The Barber Shop. On this occasions Diego did a fantastic job with my son. Taking his time, attention to detail, perfect job. Never had a bad cut whichever the hair dresser. Also offers the option of booking if you don't want to wait.
Thank you so much

Fantastic experience: Its good when you get a barber whom works with you and achieves excellent cuts the way you want
Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: Going to this barber is a nice experience. You can book in advance so just walk in and you are in the chair. Diego is a good barber. He doesn’t rush and has a good eye for detail. A nice cup of Colombian coffee is offered and a hot towel at the end is a nice way to finish
Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: Super friendly staff, very bubbly atmosphere every time, great coffee and, most importantly, outstanding individual approach to children
Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: Great place for a haircut, Pedro always delivering great customer service. They can get very busy and the waiting times are long if you go at peak times, best to go in the morning when it's quiet if your lucky. They now offer booking online, which I recommend if its available.
Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: Always get a perfect cut from Diego, and everyone looks happy walking out with their new haircuts
Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend The Barber Shop enough! The guys are all super friendly, the quality of service is outstanding, the price for the service is very fair and I’ve never had a bad experience in all my times coming here. Diego has such great attention to detail, takes his time throughout and always does an excellent job with my hair. And with a complimentary hot towel massage after every cut, you cannot complain.
Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: Fantastic barbers, friendly, helpful, great service and great value for money. They did a fantastic job of my daughters haircut and made her so at ease.
Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: Best Haircut i've had for a long time. I'm a first year student studying at surrey uni so it was my first time getting a haircut in guildford. I decided to go to the barber shop as it was one of the closer ones to me and seemed good online. I was suprised to see how cheap the haircut was for how long it was said to last on the website, as its much more expensive at home. However I was far from dissapointed with what I got. I was really pleased with my haircut, the barber (diego) seemed really invested in my haircut which I found really comforting. Overall the barber shop is a really friendly barbershop that gives you a great value for some great haircuts, would recommend
Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: Fantastic friendly atmosphere and brilliant hair cut, what more can you ask for?
Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: Best haircut I have ever gotten, really nice staff and beautiful environment.
Thank you so much
Negative experience: Booked an appointment for following Friday, came up as a different date , paid deposit and saw I needed to cancel as couldn’t make same day. Told me can’t get deposit back for same day appointments. What a joke. Just a way to get free money from them. I’ll never use this barber again. Not the first time this has happened
Hello Ellie that is not true. We do not need to get free money from anyone.
We are a respectable business with more than 8 years in the trade and we work hard for our money.
the appointment system works perfectly explendid for all our customers.
Kind regards
Pedro
