Fantastic experience: Great barber Very professional friendly, and talented. I always leave with a clean fresh fade. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for quality cuts.
Thank you very much Mohammed! We always love to see a smile on our client’s face.
Negative experience: Worst hair cut. Too short and not the same that I show for reference.
we are sorry you’re not happy about your haircut however, we always do our best to keep every client happy It sounds like the result may not have been as you pictured, but sometimes customers ask us to take more length off their hair. Then they realize they have asked for too much off and blame our Barbers for it.
A short haircut isn’t a bad haircut, even though there might have been a miscommunication between you and us .
Fantastic experience: Yusf good haircut and friendly
Fantastic experience: I have a new hairdresser today, Juseff is the best
Fantastic experience: Excellent barber shop! Good value for money and quality cuts

Fantastic experience: Got a nice haircut done by Yusef. He is a very knowledgeable and qualified barber. Everyone there is an absolute gent and welcoming.
Negative experience: Veen barber is very respectful staff but they cost too much money for just for normal hair cutting they don't have any good experience for long beard shape up and tidy up it's waste of money i can do my beard better than barber I am no more interested in here mate too much money just for 10 minutes hair cut £20 normal hair cut not any design
Hi Saif we hope you’re well, we understand our haircuts are not the cheapest in Edinburgh but they’re certainly not the most expensive either, if there’s any problems with your hair or beard please come back in and we will fix it to how you like it also if our prices have put you in any difficulty we will be more than happy to give you a full refund and help you out.
Please message us on socials if you need anything.
Negative experience: Super rushed, no method used whatsoever, had to tell them to blend the top with the sides - wasn’t really sure how to do this? Honestly, it looks better than not having a trim but very bad overall. I get a skin fade almost every week and once in a while I come across a barber that either doesn’t care or has no clue. I’ve just moved to Edinburgh so unfortunately I got this one wrong
Hi Andrei im very sorry you felt like your haircut was rushed, we do our best to deliver great service but sometimes we might fall short as human beings, please don’t hesitate to come back in if there’s any issues with the hair we will fix it and also will give you a haircut for free on us to make it up to you.
Once again we always try our best and we are happy to make it right with you.
Please message us on instagram and we can talk more.

Negative experience: £24 for a 10-minute buzz cut? Never again
We are sorry you’re not happy but We never charge £24 for buzz cut you must have mistaken us for another shop, also if you get a buzz cut it takes around 10 minutes, it’s one number all over?

Thank you very much for your feedback, we look forward to having you back in again, Have a great weekend.
Fantastic experience: Great service, the guy cutting my hair (I don’t know his name) was very friendly and chatty - this will be my regular place for cutting my hair. Thanks, guys
Thanks so much for your feedback my friend, see you soon
Negative experience: Came into the shop and asked one of the staff if they could cut my hair. Was told no problem and was offered a drink which I declined, but nice touch. I then took a seat. That’s why I left 2 stars in this review, the initial reception. Was then sat for 36 mins waiting. Another customer came in and one of the barbers asked the guy sweeping the floor to pop out and ask if someone was free to come in and help out. He then came back and it was clear whoever he went to find wasn’t free. The guy then approached me and stated he was an apprentice barber and if I would be ok if he cut my hair. 1/ why wasn’t this offered 35 mins previously? It was clear these guys don’t operate fast so they would have known I was in for a bit of a wait, so why not make that clear up front and offer the apprentice? I could have then made a call then and there if I wanted to accept that. As it was, wasted 35 mins, left, and then walked about 10 doors up and got my hair cut immediately.
Thanks Craig for your review we are sorry for your frustration but this isn’t a reason for you to give us a bad review. We understand when you came into our shop to ask for a haircut we told you that we could take you and as you seen yourself there was a wait as we all had customers, the apprentice barber is not fully confident to always take customers unless it looks like an easy haircut to him so because of this reasons we allow him to take customers in an emergency or if one of the professionals can keep an eye on him which we can’t do properly if we are busy.
You had 36 mins to decide to leave or wait but you blame it on the junior barber for not asking you when you first came in? You could have made that decision regardless as you were not given a time slot, we always try our best but obviously our best isn’t good enough every time.
Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff and a great hair cut service. Highly recommend
Thank you very much we look forward to seeing you back in again
Fantastic experience: I'm in Edinburgh for the weekend and was looking for a barbers for a shave and luckily found this place. Incredibly welcoming, relaxed atmosphere and exceptionally skilled barbers. If I could offer more than 5 stars I would, highly recommend. Thanks lads

Positive experience: Great haircut + beard trim + decent banter. .
Thank you for your review mate
Fantastic experience: Lovely, super friendly place on Leith Walk with skilled staff that can advise you on what's best before you have your cut. They're the full service outfit for your hair and beard and they use good quality products too. Usually busy but it's a comfortable place for walk-ins to wait and you're sure to be offered a drink. I find the app convenient to use and I can pre-pay if I'm in a hurry.
Thank you very much Peter we appreciate your kind words
Fantastic experience: My favourite barbers in Edinburgh. I first went a few months ago when I was in the area and I've since become a regular. They are really nice guys and charge a very reasonable rate for such high quality haircuts. There can be a short waiting time as they have really close attention to detail (especially with skin fades) so best time to go is probably in the morning or early afternoon before they get busy.
We are very glad to hear about your feedback, thanks for your support
Fantastic experience: Excellent barbers - very hospitable, with drinks being offered and comfortable waiting areas. Great location and easy to get to. Shop is fantastic - brilliant chat!
Thank you very much mate for your 5 star review
Fantastic experience: Mark's precise cuts and Taman's attention to detail both ensure I leave consistently with a good haircut. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I've been going here for about 4 and a bit years now, and have never left unhappy. The barbers are nothing but friendly and even attentitive to your needs. I am usually really fussy about getting my hair cut, but the walk-in service here is like a budget stylist in its own right.
Thanks so much for your positive review

Thanks very much Jasim
Fantastic experience: Took my 6 year old nephew to Veen for his haircut. Taman was great with him and listened to exactly what I wanted his hair like. The other staff were very welcoming too, and offer you a drink whilst you wait. Really nice shop.. and he was chuffed because he got a sweetie at the end!
Hi Jennifer thank you for your feedback we appreciate you taking the time to write us a review.
We also look forward to seeing you and your nephew back at veen.
Fantastic experience: Been going here for years, best quality haircuts no matter who cuts your hair. The lads always have a smile on their face and have the best barber chat you can ask for! Will have my hair to cut until the day I go bald
Thank you very much Sean and we hope you never go bald
Fantastic experience: The service, the professionalism, the talent and the consistency is 10/10. I’ve been to a lot of barber shops but this one just knows everything. Really is the best experience. Will be back when I’m back in Edinburgh.
Thank you for your honesty
Fantastic experience: The best barbershop in the town, VIP service, is very well organized, professional barbers.
Thank you Hasan we look forward to having you back at veen
Fantastic experience: Best barber shop about would recommend!
Thank you very much Luke! We look forward to seeing you again soon
Fantastic experience: If you’re looking to get your hair done professionally and at affordable prices, then this is definitely the place to go. This is definitely one of the best barbers in Edinburgh - I can guarantee you that. Put it this way - I’m very fussy with my hair and I haven’t got anything bad to say about this barber establishment. Always excellent service with a smile and always spend time on your hair. You aren’t just getting an incredible haircut, you’re also receiving fantastic service with a smile. They also give you complimentary tea, coffee or even some juice of your own choice. I definitely recommended this place to anyone! They accept walk-ins too which is very handy. They can do any hair cut you desire. I got a low skin fade with a hot towel shave today and it was excellent, considering my hair and style is hard to do. Thank you very much, Veen barbers, ‘I’ll be back’
Thank you very much Scott for your kind words, it’s a pleasure to have you in our shop, see you soon
Negative experience: Not proper way maintenance appointment I am 30 minutes waiting and Bad behaviour, I am never ever going this shop
The barber was 2 minutes late ⁉️
You didn’t have an appointment and we said to you 30 minutes (one customer in front of you) the barber who was taking walk ins was 32 minutes and you walked out the shop not happy, we even apologised for the long wait but 32 minutes wait without an appointment is normal for a barber shop?
Fantastic experience: Veen Barbers truly exceeded my expectations! The haircut I received was absolutely fantastic; the barber's skill by Taman and attention to detail were evident in every precise snip. The result was a hairstyle that perfectly matched what I had in mind. The ambiance of the barbershop added another layer of enjoyment to my visit – the comfortable seating, soothing music, and friendly staff all contributed to a relaxed and pleasant environment. I was also impressed by the variety of services they offered, from classic cuts to modern styles. My experience at Veen Barbers was exceptional from start to finish, and I can't wait to return for more grooming excellence! I personally recommend getting your hair done by Taman but the other barbers are also very good from what I’ve seen.
Thank you very much burwa, we look forward to seeing you again
Fantastic experience: Best barber in town, been going here for years now
Thanks very much Keshab we love having you at our shop
Fantastic experience: Explained to taman what I wanted perfection on attention to detail got a first class barber that listens see you soon thanks
Fantastic experience: Khalid and the team at Veen do a great job. I would highly recommend them.
Negative experience: False advertising. The sign out front advertises a student discount. I learn after getting my haircut that the discount is only valid on certain days of the week. How am I supposed to know this if it’s not on the sign? This is a misleading and deceptive business practice. Wouldn’t go back again after all this.
Kendall we’re sorry you feel this way, We do offer our student discount on week days but if this is such a big matter to you then you should ask before your hair cut.
Fantastic experience: Super friendly staff with excellent service, highly recommend!
Thank you for the review callan, we’re looking forward to seeing you again
Fantastic experience: Mark was excellent gave me a great cut and was very friendly
Fantastic experience: Best experience to be fair Free coffee and water And a cut excellent I recommend
Thank you very much for the honest review
Fantastic experience: Awesome guys. Never go anywhere else. Forward thinking and offer complimentary treatments and coffee.
Thank you very much John we look forward to seeing you back in the shop soon
Negative experience: Good customer service but not the best haircut - asked for a fade with a number 1 and got a fade with a number 2 and the sides of my head sticking out like a mushroom, the blending at the back was awful. I spoke with the barber via google and they were helpful and said if I go back they will fix it. When I returned the next day to have it fixed the guy had no idea who I was despite the barber confirming I can come in. The second cut didn’t fix the issue - I’ve had to go back to my trusted Rag and Bone - spent £50 in haircuts in the weeks build up to Christmas, I’d go back and ask for a refund but that’s just awkward. Too many barbers seem to offer fades because it is what people want despite not always having full staff who are experienced enough and trained on how to do a fade properly.
Wrong shop
Hi Thomas, I have asked all the barbers in both shops but no one seems to remember having you in the shop, it’s even more difficult when someone leaves a review and doesn’t have a photo on their profile, if you genuinely have been to our shop twice and had a bad hair cut twice and paid £50 I will guarantee you a full refund. We will need to see proof of the haircut and proof of payment that was maid to us, once again we are very sorry if we were the reason for this if not please kindly remove your review.
Please send the photos on our Instagram or Facebook page
Fantastic experience: Excellent work, lovely service! Taman, excellent! He’s such talented person. :) lovely services, 100% recommended!
Thank you very much Johnny, we look forward to having back in our shop

Fantastic experience: Expert cut from the team. Thanks again and I’ll try to come back soon!
Thanks a lot Dave, we appreciate your feedback, looking forward to seeing you again
Fantastic experience: Moved into the area recently, was looking for a new barber. Mark gave me a trim. Definitely the best I’ve had
Thank you very much jack we look forward to having you back in the shop soon
Positive experience: says that it closes at 6 but when i went in for a trim at 5:30 the sign said closed on the door and i coudlnt get a trim ?
We only have a couple of guys working at the moment so we close 15-30 minutes early depending on how busy we have been on that day to give staff rest and finish on time, you’re more than welcome to come in any other day just please come in a little earlier
