Steven Cadena Published on Google 4 months ago

Fantastic experience: Hard to find a really good barbershop who can fade but also consider head shape, hair texture and styling for longevity between haircuts. All the staff are solid as they hire experienced barbers so either way you’re taken care of well.

J M Published on Google 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: Been going to Ermand for over two years now after he won me over with my first haircut. Hands down the best fades I’ve had, better than a Turkish barber. Always sharp, clean, and consistent every single time. Also had my hair cut by Valentino and Steven, they are just as good, same high standard across the team. On top of the quality the whole experience is spot on, good chat, good atmosphere, really personable and you never feel rushed. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Maya Prabhakar Published on Google 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: I have an atypical haircut that I'm somewhat picky about. Got a walk in today with Mike. Staff are really nice and Mike listened to everything I said and gave me a perfect cut! Thanks! He fixed the mistake from the last barber too! £10 deposit and overall £25 for anyone trying to gauge. They take cash and card. Convenient location too! If you have a tight schedule, book ahead to ensure your timing, but they do take walk ins.

Fantastic experience: Ermand has been the only guy i let cut my hair now for the last year and i refuse to go anywhere else. Even now that i live an hour from the city, i still come down to get a trim at barberlabs. Affordable for a student like me, great chat and atmosphere, and the best trim you can get.

Andries Smal Published on Google 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: There is truly no other barber that can compare to Barber Lab & Co. The whole team is respectful, professional, and always going out of their way to support their clients, they set the gold standard for what a barber experience should be. This is a popular spot, so don’t forget to book ahead, appointments fill up quickly for good reason! Pricing is right in line with other barbers, but the level of service here is second to none. Every cut feels tailored, every visit feels valued. Highly recommend to anyone looking for quality, consistency, and a barber who genuinely cares.

Evan Gough Published on Google 6 months ago

Negative experience: Honestly I’m sure the simple fades they do are fine but I went in to get a touch up and like 2-3 inches taken off n I had a majority of my hair cut off and into the wrong style despite having picture references if you aren’t getting a short style or fade i would advise going elsewhere

Paulina Baran Published on Google 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: My Son became a Barber Lab & Co customer and enjoy. The service spot on , and every haircut comes out exactly how he want . Local is easy to find , next to retail park between shops. Fit in a trim while running errands. Friendly atmosphere, skilled barber, and consistently great results – can’t recommend Barber Lab & Co enough if you’re after quality and convenience in one place.

Angus Pauley Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: This was an excellent beard trim. Ermand took his time and gave extra care and attention to the details, making sure the shape was perfect and there were no fly aways. The service itself is exemplary. After shave, hot towel, beard oil. It was above and beyond what I expected. The place is professional but has a relaxed vibe. We had a great conversation about the UK, business, life etc. I'll be back whenever I'm in Southampton.

Lê Nam Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Valentino is a detailed oriented baber. He listens to my needs and adjust them with my hair situation. After many tries in Southampton as an international student, this one is the best babershop for me. Highly recommend to book an appointment before.

Fantastic experience: Don't normally leave reviews but when service is this good I wanted to give a deserved shout! Rob provided me a great cut at a great value whilst also being a great laugh to chat too! Would highly recommend and will 100% be going back in the future.

James Asplin Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Rob at Barber Lab & Co provided perhaps the best haircut I've received. The service was great, with pleasant conversation and a focus on what I wanted, which made me feel very welcome. I have often felt self-conscious about my look and either defer to professionals or feel unsure after the cut, but Rob made sure to take my suggestions and provide excellent advice on how to achieve that, regularly checking in with me to make sure I was happy with the direction we went in. To top it off, if you have long or thick hair and are considering anything like a mullet or a refined style then Rob is excellent at that. My hair is notoriously difficult to work with and I'm so happy with how it turned out. Thank you again!

Dave “Creamy Pie” Plows Published on Google 1 year ago

JACK FIELD Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Ermand is the Vincent van Gogh of skin fades.(just with out the missing ear and mental health problems) a true master of his art in being a Barber . Everyone there has always got good chat and great customer service. They always do best by the customer, just make sure you book as they are the best in town with a long list. walk ins are also welcome and they will try there best to fit you in (if they have the time ). This isn't just a Barber shop its a lab , they got that shit down to a science. The louver of haircuts and they got me feeling like the male Mona Lisa but with a smile.
