Fantastic experience: Cal has been my barber for 4 years now. Every time he absolutely nails it and it's the only barbers I've been to where I actually enjoy getting my haircut. Appreciate it!

Imthiyas Manarikkal Published on Google 4 months ago

Negative experience: Late for 10 minutes and they did not take me in. These guys expect everyone to be on time as they think we catch a flight. Had an hair cut from Dan while ago and he didn’t care to cut properly but instead he was focusing on getting the next back on seat.

Robert Dale Published on Google 4 months ago

Fantastic experience: Genuinely brilliant service here, new to the whole beard game so never had a trim before, made to feel at ease, the whole process was thoroughly explained from start to finish. I'll be back again in the future.

Connor Allen Published on Google 6 months ago

Fantastic experience: Dan is a fantastic barber at dashing blades, he’s cut both mine and my sons hair and iv rebooked in for 3 weeks time to continue the process of a mullet, 10/10 for this guy who helped me with deciding on the shape and style, and also giving me tips on how style it whilst I grow the length, excellent work all round!!

Karl Pilcher Published on Google 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: Wow. Having owned a beard for over 30 years I have been left disappointed by so many so called barbers who claim they know how to cut and style a beard, until now. Rob at Dashing Blades did a fantastic job on restyling my beard, exactly how I wanted it. The proof in the pudding is always the morning after. A quick brush through and the style was there, even after a shower. The same can be said with my hair cut. If you own a beard you should give them a try. I'm so glad I did and I'll be back again for sure!

Emma Woodward Published on Google 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: Rachel has been brilliant with cutting my teens hair and taking time to listen to what they want. The teen doesn't like the atmosphere of a lot of traditional barbers and is happy they've found a place where they feel really comfortable. Recommended to a friend who has sent her two boys to Rachel as well and they've said it's the best hair cut they've had.

Edward Holden Published on Google 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: I had a fantastic haircut from Rob who was friendly, interesting and a skilled barber who did an excellent job with my hair. The shop is very chic and a really lovely space with nice music. I would thoroughly recommend

Andrew Hawkes Published on Google 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: Visited dashing blades today, I was very nervous as I have grown my beard for the first time in forty years and the barbers I visited for the first time absolutely butchered my beard which left me not wanting to go to a barbers again. A friend put me on to dashing blades and I thought I would give it a chance and I’m glad I did! what a great place, nice people and rob was fantastic he listened and gave me advice and the outcome was exactly what I was looking for, will certainly be returning.. would highly recommend.

Mark Reilly Published on Google 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: Visited today for the first time, had a booking with Rob who was punctual and had good conversation. I asked what he recommended and he did a fine job. The shop has a really nice old-worldy feel to it which I liked. It was a bit more on the expensive side to what I would normally pay but you get what you pay for. After asking for recommendations on beard oil rob showed me what they had and I purchased one which I can confirm is very nice. Will be back in future.

Keith Musson Published on Google 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: Great haircut, friendly staff, nice vibe. Rachel thankyou.

Justin Published on Google 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: Very easily one of the best barber shops in Coventry. Highly skilled and friendly staff. Once you try them out, you’ll definitely come back regularly. It’s a bit hard to find appointments so I’d recommend booking well in advance. There is a free (small) parking lot nearby.

Edward Mutton Published on Google 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: Had a good experience here today. I normally leave the clipper massacre cut of Ball Hill looking like a drill sergeant. It was nice switch to the sublime today. Got home and the biggest reviewer of them all, my missus approved. So thanks Dan you did a proper job and ill drop ya invite to Nigeria off later in the year. 4-3 Cov was robbed.

Jithesh Kumar Published on Google 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: After struggling for a long time to find someone who could handle my long hair properly — and trying out barbershops across all price ranges — I finally found my unicorn. Rob was absolutely amazing. Not only is he incredibly skilled, but he's also a genuinely kind human being. He took the time to really understand what I wanted, and then delivered the best haircut I've had in years. He kept my style intact while elevating it to a whole new level. I couldn't be happier. Highly, highly recommend!

Sharon Birket Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: This was my son’s first visit to a barber and Rob was amazing, my son has long hair and is quite shy, but Rob put him at ease. Not all barbers are good with long hair on men, but Rob totally understood what was needed and my son loved the result. I would highly recommend, and my lad is already talking about going back there.

Rohan Rao Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Absolutely Lives up to the hype, A lovely Ambience, great music and an amazing cut from Rob. This will be my go-to spot if I'm in coventry for a bit.

Shazza Dunne Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I have found it difficult to find the right barbers for my son, I took a chance with booking Fin into dashing blades, he struggles due to his autism, the hairdresser instantly put him at ease, asking his preferred pronouns, and making the effort to chat with him about Minecraft!. I will be booking again such a freindly team. Thanks all

Finnley Morgan Dunne Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Had a haircut with Cal here for the first time, i’ve never really felt comfortable going to barbers as a transgender individual, But Cal was super friendly and engaged in conversation with me, even if i was a little awkward Great haircut and great personality from him. Will definitely be back.

Josh O'Grady Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Dan is the best barber in Coventry. Always chatty and does a great job

Simon Merritt Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend this place! I've lived in the Coventry area for the last 10 years now and these guys by far give the best haircut in the area! They are all super friendly and the service is top notch. I would especially recommend if you have longer male hair or have an interesting style, because unlike a lot of other places they know how more styles than just "short back and sides"! I also love the fact that it's online booking, it's super convenient for me and means I avoid fitting in a queue for hours on end!

Ross Holmes Published on Google 1 year ago

Billie Salisbury Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Can’t recommend Dan enough. My son got super fussy about having his hair cut after a bad experience else where & he won’t let anyone touch his hair now apart from Dan.

David betteridge Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Amazing place...And thanks Rob for the amazing hair cut..

Ben Seath Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Best shop about. Friendly, reliable & fair prices. Been a regular since 2019. All the barbers are quality and they've all done my hair and beard at different points. My regular is Cal, who's great, but you can't go wrong here.

Joe Charlton Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Starting getting a trim with Cal just over a year ago. Haven’t looked back. Great job everytime and good banter. Highly recommend

Tom Xplicit Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Hadn’t had a hair cut at a barbers In probably over a year and my hair was really long, booked a hair restyle and cut and Cal did an amazing job, took me from looking like an actual raggedy mop to a French crop style and was very pleased with the outcome, highly recommend great communication and people skills, and even better barbering skills.

Jim shelley Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I hadn't had a haircut in over 6 months, so I tried this place . I was very pleased with my haircut from Dan , It was a really nice barbershop especially the leather co uches to sit in while waiting for my turn. I would definitely recommend trying Dashing Blades for a haircut , beard trim etc. I will return here for my next haircut.

Pav Singh Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: First time here, really anxious about gettin my hair cut, it had been over 1.5 years. Booked with Josh and got an Incredible service! Great advice throughout, took on board everything asked for and the result was brilliant. Will be back fo sure for the great convos alone haha

Christopher Thomas Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Booked an appointment with Dan on while in Coventry on a short trip and he did an amazing job with my beard. Would absolutely recommend this shop.

Ben Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I headed in for an impromptu haircut (didn't book) they advised that they take bookings and were fully booked out for the day but then one of the staff said he could quickly squeeze me in for a quick haircut before his next client was due to arrive, The customer service was second to none, haircut was really good and fast, lovely clean and unique style of decor throughout the shop and fair priced.

Joshua Manley Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: A brilliant barbershop with a classic atmosphere and very skilled barbers. I had the hot towel beard trim and this is not only the best my beard has ever looked, but it was extremely therapeutic too. I’ll look amazing at my wedding. Fantastic work!

Viktor Yu Published on Google 1 year ago

Negative experience: Had a 'hot towel shave', they used an electric shaver first, but then still managed to leave a ONE-INCH cut on my face, fabulous. And of course, they still charged me the full amount. DON'T GO THERE.

Dorian Valentine Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Incredibly friendly barbers in a great area, with lots to do - the price is slightly higher than others in the area, but this comes with incredible value and care.

Josh Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Haircut done by Rachel, lovely personality and the actual haircut was perfect just before my graduation, I will absolutely be going back after searching all over Coventry for a good barbers.

Nameless Reviewer Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Got a fade from Rachel. I look good! My hair is thick and tends to poke in weird directions but she seemed to know what to do with it. It’s really chilled out in there, you can relax

Mia Thomas Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: My son was very traumatised from a previous attempt at going to the hairdresser's, to which he was cornered with scissors and he ended up kicking and crying. We avoided them for years afterwards. I rang Dashing Blades in advance and explained the situation, they didn't seem phased and encouraged me to book but with a longer appointment just in case. My son viewed them all online and chose to book in with Cal. Cal was nothing but patient and gentle with my son. He was quick to relate to my son and helped him feel at ease. He really took his time and checked with my son before he did anything. Now he is happy to go there any time and always sits nicely. He's had 3 haircuts there now and I'm really proud of him, and really grateful to all at Dashing Blades for working with my son to overcome his fear. He has had his hair cut by Rob, who was just as lovely with him, but Cal is his favourite. I know this place has loads of good reviews, and they are all well deserved. Thank you all, you've really made a difference.

Fantastic experience: I've been visiting Rob at dashing blades since they opened in fargo ! From the very early days when it was just Rob to the amazing team he has with him now the service I received has always been first class ! The time, effort and attention to detail is faultless.. always made to feel welcome and nothing is to much trouble, Rachel's even stayed late to make sure I had a trim before a holiday you'll not find a better barbers in Coventry or Warwickshire.

Fantastic experience: I always go to Dashing Blades to trim my beard and cut my hair and I always book with Rachel to always deliver me the best cut and customer service possible, I've been going there for nearly 3 years and never seen a cleaner and neater place. Amazing staff and shop in general, recommend it always. :)

Rhiannon Morgan Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Been coming here ever since I moved to Coventry nearly 6 years ago! Never let me down, always welcoming and cheerful with excellent jokes no matter the time of day or the weather. All you need is a car that won’t break down and a barber you can rely on and everything else works itself out

Joe Askew Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Dashing Blades since it opened in Fargo village and have always been welcomed by Rob and each new team member over the years, and I would highly recommend the excellent service to all.

Mark Hancock Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Went in on Saturday and they sorted me out a treat. Good to see they’re still delivering quality service and customer satisfaction. When the rest of the high street is turning into little more than a bricks and mortar version of Amazon, it’s nice to know there are some places that still value customer interaction. Always a warm smile and top conversation while they work.

Niall Rooney Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: There have been multiple times that I've walked out of this barbers looking and feeling much better than when I simply first walked in. While I've only had the pleasure of being treated by Rob, I can wholeheartedly attest that the remarkable passion exhibited by every member of the Dashing Blades staff surpasses the standards of any other haircuts you may have experienced before. It's truly a remarkable place that genuinely cares about their clients by treating them closer as friends. Their work stands as a true cornerstone of Fargo Village and reflects the good within the city by making locals and visitors look their best. Every. Single. Time.

Fantastic experience: The best barber shop in Coventry! Today my son got his hair cut by Rob, he got a complete restyling. His hair was below the lower back long and Rob cut his hair and completely restyle it At the beginning when we walked in we bouth were nervous my boy was literally shaking as it was a massive change and he didn't know exactly what he want, Rob came to us he comfort my boy and they had a good half an hour conversation about what my boy wants his hair to look like, my son end up with amazing hair cut and when we was leaving my boy had the biggest smile on his face We are definitely going back at the end of the month Thank you! A good hair cut can not only change your appearance but also your life ❤️ it was definitely a big change for us !

El Beardo Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I was welcomed, from the cold, with wide open arms. Rob, the owner of 'Dashing Blades' was there with his broom cleaning up hair from the previous customer. Eyes locked on me, a slight smirk and a twinkle in his eye. I could see how excited he was to work on my hair. It had been at least 3 months since my last visit, I was starting to resemble a badger. One that had rummaged too much in the rubbish bin. However Rob's slight smile remained. No matter how rough I looked he was prepared to cut my now grey streaked beard. With a gentle pat on the chair I raced over. I pondered what conversations we would have this time. Booked in for a hair cut and hot towel shave, I knew the session intended to last about an hr. Rob, softly spoke, 'what can I do you for today?' 'Same as always?!', my voice went into a slight incline as I pondered, was this an question? Or was I trying some lame attempt of witty banter? Honestly it was a bit of both. Would Rob even remember me from 3 months ago? 'No problem!' Rob exclaimed and picked up his very unique scissors. 'How you been? I haven't seen you for at least 3 months?'. HE REMEMBERS, he remembered me! 'Yah, fine.' my endeavour for witty banter had stopped, my shield had been dropped. I was relaxed again. 30 minutes had passed, conversation was flowing, my hair had now been transformed from what could politely called a mess too something my wife would appreciate looking at. A smile creeped on my face. 'You're really good at this.' That was it my cringe talking was back. Rob broke out a small chuckle and started to work on my multi coloured mane. With the hot towel pressed against my face, I was transported to another world, maybe another dimension. This place was even more calming than the one I was in. Slowly feeling myself drift off to sleep, the now cooler than hot towel was taken away. It was time for the close shave. I can tell from Robs demeanor he was serious, concentration came over his eyes, he was focused, in the zone. Rob lurched forward with the blade? Hair was leaving the outside of my body. I can see the blade, the residue of hair on the paper towel everytime he cleans it. But it didn't feel like a blade. Everytime he embraced my face, it felt like a soft sponge against my skin. I didn't want it to end. But it did.. 'How you think you look?' Rob questioned while circling a mirror around the back of my head and under my beard. 'Beautiful?!' Was that the right answer I thought? Yes, yes it was I am beautiful again. It was all down to Rob, the miracle worker. I got up off the chair and marched to the till. 'Thank you, Rob.' I said, with a slightly cracked voice, a small tear rolled down my now smooth cheek. 'No problem, will I see you again in 3 months?' He asked me, that grin he had been wearing since I walked in now had turned into a smile. He was happy with his work and now so was I. 'Of course, definitely.' I exclaimed. With that I proceeded to give Rob a huge hug. Headed to the door looking like a new person. Confident, smiling and thinking I could take on the world. Thank you Dashing Blades.... Thank you Rob.

Fantastic experience: Very popular in here so make sure you book. On the day you will need to be lucky!

Codrin Gherman Published on Google 2 years ago

Negative experience: Went in today at 17:30 for a simple haircut, booked with Rob. Came out 15 minutes later with this. Pictures have been taken after I washed and comed it as best as possible. 2nd similar experience with them. The first being months prior with a different barber. I do understand that I asked for Rob to do "what he thinks looks best" / to trust him to do his thing, but I didn't think that meant this. While I didn't ask for a fade, I would expect a barber would have a sense of how to blend hair better rather than a thinning out on the bottom, then just leaving a mop on top. Barely any shaping on the sides, with seemingly nothing on the back of my neck. I'll also be following up with update pictures after I get this fixed somewhere else. I would go back to them to fix it, but I'd rather pay out a few more quid than risk coming out with a patchwork haircut.

S L Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I cannot speak highly enough of Dashing Blades. Rob and his team deliver a first-class service; the staff are all very talented and make you feel incredibly welcome and at home each and every time. I'll put it this way - there are at least five barbers/hairdressers within walking distance of my house but I still get in the car and drive to Dashing Blades every time!

Claire Douglas Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Amazing amazing barber shop. My husband and older son have gone here for a while but today after 2 years of we managed to get our 13 year old son with autism to have a hair cut. They were amazing with him, turned the music off, all very calm and just gave him what he needed to enable him take what for him is a massive step. So very grateful and his hair looks great. Thank you so much

Fantastic experience: I had my haircut by Rob earlier today and I am so happy with the result. The whole experience was great, the atmosphere in the shop was wonderful and Rob was such a lovely gentleman who took great care with my curly hair. Would 100% recommend and I will be returning

Jakaflaka123 Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Rob is always an absolute pleasure, shaves my beard off perfectly every time and we always have a delightful chat. I'd be happy to pay the full £22 just for a hot towel around my face in all honesty! I love the music that is on and find it hard sometimes to keep still as I just want to jazz (see what I did there) along to the beat. I also love the retro till and retro phone. Come here every month if I can manage it for a hot towel shave, truly one of my highlights every month. Cheers Rob!

Nic Morgan Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I don’t think i have looked so forward to having a hair cut. You instantly feel at home with Rob and the team. I live about half an hour away but it’s always an absolute pleasure to make this journey as the experience is so nice. Rob is the only man I trust with my hair and beard! The precious…..

Fantastic experience: My hair had got seriously out of control so I visited Rob and he made me look almost human again. I shall certainly be back. Thanks a lot

Marc Farmer Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Absolutely superb. I was recommended Dashing Blades by a work colleague and I did need to get my growing mop under control. I didn't know how to go about sculping my expanding beard mane into a more distinguished shape, rather than looking like I'd slept on the pavement. The booking system is very easy to use and gives up to the minute availability of all the staff. I'd seen the other reviews and looked forward to my appointment. There is limited on-street parking, with a 2 hour limit (I did manage to get a spot at 5pm) but there is a public car park 2 minutes from the shop door. The venue is very cool with leather sofas, other period furniture and relaxing music in the background. I was greeted by Rob at the door and immediately felt at ease. Rob knows exactly what he's doing, which was great because I didn't know exactly what I wanted! Hair trim (I'm growing it, so just a tidy), beard cut, neck shave and application of Captain Fawcett's Hair Pomade and Beard balm later, I'm transformed. Hobo to distinguished gent... well, much neater anyway! There is a huge array of the Captain Fawcett products at the counter. I bought what was applied on the day, Hair Pomade Putty and the Maharajah Beard Balm. A really good experience. I have found my new regular barber!

James C Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: After my barber of 25 years closed down I pined like a lost puppy and then went through the various phases of denial before relenting the home buzz cuts and searching for a new outlet to let loose on my barnet. After my famously fussy son reccommended them I booked with Dashing Blades. The staff are welcoming, chatty and the decor is great! What a fantastic find. Highly reccommend.

Alexandre Maia (Vunf1) Published on Google 3 years ago

Positive experience: Very bad treatment by Cal, just garbage talk, after finish just said , " GO i have more important things to do" and just went out , sad attitude against the client , and after been 10 min late had to pay 2x so a £50 haircut ... Just a legal scam , only associate Rachel was nice and lovely

Charlie Parker Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I always get nervous trying out new barbers, as I have mid-length hair, but was instantly made to feel comfortable by the friendly team. Rob has an amazing vision for hair, and asked specific questions to give me my perfect end result. My only issue is not finding Dashing Blades Barber Shop sooner, as I have had to go through a lot of trial and error at other places. Thank you Rob and team

Joseph Forrester Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Well, what can I say!!!! It was the best haircut I've ever had, thanks Sarah for my appointment last Thursday and making me feel so welcome.

Fantastic experience: This is the fourth time going to this barber shop. Fantastic service, unique and stylish environment and a very talented team. Love my new haircut from Rob today after he chopping off my long hair (this was my request). I'm now wearing my new look with pride, recieving plenty of complements from friends and family. I'll definitely be returning once again.

Fantastic experience: I live in Germany but attended a semester abroad in Coventry (2019). Never have I ever met a Barber that could handle my hair so perfectly! I have thin hair and inspite of my hair loss he nailed it every time, utilizing a very unique technique, that I've never seen before. I went to so many Barbers in Germany, (they charge much more) and I was almost always disappointed. So I thought you Coventry guys should now what a sweet Barber you have! I think its Josh, the gentleman with a long hairstyle :D
