Fantastic experience: Daryl is a top-class barber. He listened carefully to what I wanted, gave great advice, and the attention to detail was spot on. Cracking atmosphere and a consistently high-quality cut and great beard trim every time.

Will Denney Published on Google 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: Best haircut so far in Glasgow. Willie took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and worked in his own suggestions. It's also a great vibe in there - especially if you're a fan of whiskey. 10/10.

Fantastic experience: Great haircut for a great price. Willie is a skilled barber who knew just what I was looking for when I came in with very long hair wanting it restyled with a model picture for reference. Vibe in the shop is also great, all the staff are friendly, chill guys.

Wonjae Published on Google 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: Willie was friendly and a good-skilled barber. I was looking for a barber good at Asian hair, and he was the one. We talked a lot about the style, and he tried to understand my words carefully.

Robbie Published on Google 7 months ago

Sandeep Satheesan Published on Google 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: Safe Hands Barber Shop is hands down one of the best cuts in town. Every visit, I walk out looking sharper (and a bit younger!). Willie and Daryl are not only brilliant barbers but also great company – always a good chat while they work their magic. The new shop is an upgrade in every way: the location is perfect, and the waiting lounge feels more like a man cave than a barber shop – honestly one of the few places I don’t mind waiting. Add in the whiskey pop-up they sometimes have, and it’s more of an experience than just a haircut. Consistently excellent cuts, a welcoming vibe, and a touch of class – Safe Hands sets the standard. Highly recommend and you are definitely gonna be in safe hands

Christopher Sweeney Published on Google 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: Great barbers in Glasgow! Been going to Lewis at safe hands for years now and can’t recommend him enough. Forever reliable and always a good cut. Got a lovely spot in town

Ben Matteo Published on Google 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: Have been going to safehands coming up to around 2 years now and it’s the best barbers in Glasgow. The boys that work at safehands always make you feel very welcome and provide the freshest trims and always up for laugh:) Would definitely recommend for anyone considering changing barbers or looking for quality haircuts. Also the new shop looks unreal and is in such a convenient place in the city centre

Nick Tweedie Published on Google 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: New room (with a view), same precision cutting. Daryl’s sharp eye for detail and taste for the finest blends — be it hair or whisky make SafeHands my go-to. Double denim enthusiasts are also most welcome.

Conor Allan Published on Google 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: Haircut and beard trim from Daro and as always he made me look my best. Always kind, good conversations and good communication before the appointment. An all around skilled and great guy. Thanks again!

Fantastic experience: Been going here for years now, after trying various barbers around the city this takes my top spot. Quality haircuts and quality chat. 10/10

Daniel Cropp Published on Google 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: Daro has been cutting my hair for just over a year now. Excellent cut and top chat every time I’m in. Safe hands had a great atmosphere to it as well. Always good banter amongst the team. Highly recommend!

Milos Vuk Published on Google 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: I’m probably one of those clients most hairdressers would prefer to avoid – very clear about what I want (and don’t want). After years of searching, I got recommended to Safe Hands, and it has been a game-changer. Every stylist is skilled, professional, and passionate, and the whole team leaves you with the feeling that your hair is in expert hands. Daro is exceptional!!! He’s not just a hairdresser; he’s a true artist. His precision, attention to detail, creativity, and understanding of fine, sometimes tricky hair are extraordinary. He listens carefully to your wishes and transforms them into a style that feels effortlessly elegant and completely you. For the first time in years, my hair doesn’t just look beautiful – it feels exactly right.

Fantastic experience: Been going to Daryl for a good few years now, and can’t fault anything about the haircuts or the patter. The new shop looks class and is well worth visit. Do yourself a favour and trust Safehands.

MrAVA Published on Google 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: Like what most of the other reviews say, this is a quality barbers in Glasgow through and through! Daryl was brilliant from the get go and I left super pleased with the cut. I’ll defo be back

Chris Green Published on Google 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: Fantastic service . This is not your run of the mill High St haircut , These guys take the time to personally recommend and explain the best cut for you . Would highly recommend

David Cumming Published on Google 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: Best barbers in town, tried loads of them over the years and this is the one I've stuck with. Barbers all know there stuff and dont just send you out the door with a skin fade like most of the other barbers

Vhairi Published on Google 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: Been bringing my son here for years fantastic service Daryl has been great helping him feel comfortable as he is nervous and always gives him an amazing hair cut.

Craig Rodgers Published on Google 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: Best in Glasgow been a repeat customer for years, fantastic service and banter the lads are brilliant cannot recommend enough!

Ben Howard Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Bear did a great job, he kept me company while I was waiting and fended off any intruders Very happy with the hair cut too Nice guys and quirky decor.

Gary Johnston Published on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Got a haircut by Willie for the first time just over a year and a half ago whilst I was at college and was extremely impressed by the job he did. Went home for about 8/9 months before coming back to Glasgow to live permanently and always said to myself I'd be going back there for a haircut because of how good my previous experience was. Booked in for a haircut with Willie again as soon as they opened back up and I wasn't disappointed. I think every barbershop in Glasgow needs to take a leaf out of these guys' book. Website looks professional and easy to use, online booking system very simple, and then the experience in the shop is second to none. Both guys were very chatty and a good laugh making you feel very welcome, good tunes on and the haircut again by Willie was incredibly good, exactly as I had wanted it, and better. I've been to a few bad barbers round Glasgow and honestly after having had a few cuts in Safe Hands with Willie, I wouldn't go anywhere else now. Keep up the good work guys

Jon Szeto Published on Google 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: These guys are awesome! The hair cuts are top quality as is the banter! Sean was quality and got my hair cut before my friend's wedding the same day. Was only up in Glasgow for the weekend so was lucky to find these guys. Cannot recommend them highly enough, proper barbershop delivering fresh trims and side splitting convo. Don't consider going anywhere else.

Chris McGowan Published on Google 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Don't expect your usual high Street hairdresser, professional reception and coffee. This place is down and dirty with the authentic Glasgow banter included in the price. Might not be the pace to bring your prim and proper girlfriend, though I'm sure the could be gentle men if required. Really the guys are genuine and down to earth, and not at all PC. They're talented cutters and their not to shabby on the beard trims either. Will listen and hear what your asking for. So in all you really are in Safe Hands, just don't bring your mum.

Michelle A Published on Google 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great attention to detail and service. Hubby very happy with haircut. Alternative decor and lively personalities. Very lucky to get a chair as dropped in and busy place.

Connor Published on Google 10 years ago

Fantastic experience: First class! Been a regular customer for a number of years and always received a great haircut. Great attention to detail from all barbers that work there and generally a warm welcoming atmosphere. Prices are fair and you're always guaranteed a good laugh during appointments. Definitely recommended!! Best Barbers in Glasgow!
