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.
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.

Fantastic experience: The best barbershop in Southampton . Fantastic service by Ermand the barber .
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
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.
Fantastic experience: Been coming for abt 2 years now, and every time I’ve gotten a cut from Ermand it’s been clinical, 10/10 service and really happy all around.

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.
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.
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!
Fantastic experience: Very competent and friendly staff. A great hair cut every time. Always a nice experience. Would highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Rob gave me exactly what I wanted, nice chat and great service.
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.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for top notch service and a great haircut

Fantastic experience: i get my haircut by rob all the time here all the time and everything as soon as you enter the door is amazing. always offered a drink and taken care of, would recommend to anyone looking for a barber!! 10/10
Negative experience: Says walk ins available outside when walking in aren't available you go in two people sitting around going nothing say they are fully booked for 2 hours say I have to make an appointment or come back when they are free 2 people sitting around on there phones with terrible customer service

Fantastic experience: Best haircut I have ever gotten from Rob here at Bar Lab. Flew 6000+ miles just to get a cut from the king of the chair. You won’t be upset getting a haircut from Rob. Absolutely flawless and knows his way around beards. Takes his time, is patient and never rushes. Goes above and beyond for his clients. 5/5 but would rate more if I could!
