Joseph Teanby Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience at Cad’s. The online booking system was very easy and as it was my first time here, there was time for a consultation before my hair cut. The stylist listened to what I was after and even though I wasn’t sure (due to my wavy hair type) she offered her expert advice. A very friendly atmosphere overall with the added bonus of a lovely dog in the shop!! Very highly recommended. Thanks!

Richard Scarff Published on Google 1 year ago

Dallas Published on Google 1 year ago

Negative experience: Great lad but genuinely initially was probably the worst haircut i’ve had in my life. I have curly hair and my hair was long i asked to take some length off. The barber did not section it nor did he properly cut it genuinely he just snipped chunks of hair out at random without measuring it seeemed. He asked how much length i wanted off and he showed me with his hands and i said less and then he asked this much and i was in the middle of saying less and before i knew it he had taken about 3-4 inches off. At that point i just accepted that it was going to be a poor haircut. I eventually waited to buzz it off which to be honest he did a really good job at however that’s not what i initially wanted, i was only tempted to buzz it after he finished the initial haircut because of the state of it. it was beyond poor and my relatively long curly hair was not only cut badly but poorly rushed and given little attention to detail. It was my first haircut here and definitely my last. If you have medium length to long curly hair and want a trim. i’d recommend you stay away from here as it’s not the place for that sort of hair, trust me you’d be better off at a proper salon where there are people who rely more on scissors and attention to detail instead of a trimmer.

David Sear Published on Google 1 year ago

Steve Wain Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Thanks so much Tye for giving my partner such a great haircut & shave on 2nd May. Will be back the next time we’re in York! Lovely clean salon and staff willing to go the extra mile for the customers. Would definitely recommend.

Ryan Yates Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: This is the first barbers I've been to since moving to York, and everything about the service was top notch! Amy did a great job cutting my hair, which isn't the easiest as it's quite thick and grows in different directions. Would highly recommend and I look forward to returning in the future.

Sean Paine Published on Google 2 years ago

Gareth Griffith Published on Google 2 years ago

Richard Martin Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Been using CADs of Micklegate now for 9 months. Brilliant team and always a great cut - Taniya is the hairdresser I chose and I can’t recommend her enough! The best

Serzh Sokol Published on Google 2 years ago

Negative experience: It's disheartening that people nowadays hesitate to acknowledge their mistakes. I wasn't satisfied with the final result, and the insistence on payment despite my dissatisfaction was disappointing. "No problem," but I won't return, and I caution anyone with a beard to avoid their services – you might end up with nothing left after months of growing.

Cads Of Micklegate

We're sorry that you feel disatisfied with the service, but we are aware a consultation did take place. And there was an agreement between you and the barber what you wanted and you agreed to what was advised. When you left the salon another barber looked at the beard and said the beard was in good shape. We work hard to make sure we deliver which something that the customer asks for. As a gesture of good will John is more than happy for you to come in and he will have a look at it for you. Thanks Cads

Scot Gordon Published on Google 2 years ago
