I have been here 4/5 times now to get my haircut and have never left feeling disappointed. Greeted on arrival and offered a drink, and you never usually wait long to get a cut. I've always found the barbers to pay good attention to detail, and never rush the job. As well as a hair cut you can have an eyebrow trim, hot towel, and hair wash as part of the service (as well as fire in the ears!). The guys don't say too much but you go to a barbers for a hair cut not a chit-chat. Great value at about £16 for a cut. No complaints!

Great experience with the setting, hot waz and cut throat shaves but the hair cuts are horrific. I know of 3 people in a similar position since having my hair pretty much butchered off. I won't be going back!

I read the reviews on here and thought I'd give this place a go. I'm so disappointed. The haircut felt very rushed and I don't think the barber listened to what I said or really cared. I only asked for a trim on top and actually my hair looks more like an army issue buzz cut. Maybe it's the wrog sort of place for the haircut I wanted but overall it just felt like no thought went Ito it and I wasn't listened to.

First time getting my hair cut around this area, this place looked busy enough but not to busy. Great service, barber used his initiative/experience to ensure the cut was the right length, great attention to detail and very good value for money.

Top notch! First day back in London after Glastonbury so there was work to be done!
Barber looked chuffed when a blank canvas walked in for a shave and haircut!
He did a great job of both. Very nice attention to detail as per the other comments on here, and excellent value.
I'll definitely be going again

This place is awesome. First time visits to a barbers can be a bit daunting but at this place I walked straight into a chair, offered tea/coffee, and had a great haircut including ear hair flaming and nose/eyebrow hair trimming. Offered the hot towel which was a new experience for me and it was awesome and the whole experience an absolute bargain for £14. Massively recommended!

Can't fault it. Always nervous trying a new place, but I have to agree with the other reviews - quality straight forward haircut.

Yup just brilliant. There's a coupla other barbers around, but nope these guys are old school and original and that's why I keep going back. The hair cuts - for me anyway - are spot on, no matter who you get and all the stuff they do with the lotions, head massages, hair washes, hot towels, man just awesome. And you're like really?! 14 squid? Nae problem big yin. Not had better and that's after quite a while in London...

Thank you to the Legend for some of the best hair cuts I've ever had, not to mention the ear flame, nose hair trim, eyebrow trim, face massage and hot towel treatment. I work in old street so can slip a Legend visit in during my lunch break. I've never had so many compliments and have paid about 3 times more for hair cuts in the past.
I used to resent paying about 40 quid for a stylist to make a half arsed job of my hair so only got it cut about 3 times a year, now I've found the legend I am having it cut more often and still spending less each year! Love it!

There's loads to be said of the hair cut, the shave the ear flaming...
The Turkish shave is something every man should experience.
Try it now.

Completely agree with the previous review.
£14 for a service that in my opinion surpasses that provided by Tony and Guy (if you are a guy that is).
I will be coming back!

Probably the best service I've ever had in London. Before I tried half of hairdressers in Canary Wharf and they were nowhere near as good as this one.
For 14 pounds, I got a haircut I asked for, razor neck shave, eyebrow trim, face wax with a hot towel and a Turkish tea.
Everything took about 40 mins, so I would recommend going there on a weekend, but it was definitely worth it.

£14 for the best haircut I've had in years. Old world service & they applied all manner of unguents, powders, towels, hot vapoured towels, razors and even flicked my ears with burning meth-soaked cottonbuds. They take their time, so if you have some, make the most of a special half-hour.

After spending so much £ on bad haircuts in London (we used to go to top salons which cost £80-100 for man's haircut), we decided that we should try a barber shop since there is simply no such thing as good haircut in England. The haircut cost only £14 and it was prob the best haircut in UK history

Terrible attitude to customers who complain. As if telling people you've been cutting hair for 25 years means customers can't complain that you are paying more attention to the TV? Get over yourselves. Been happy with previous haircuts I've had here but won't be going back anymore.

Hi
I' m really sorry to hear this, I never had this sort of complain before from any of my customers. It was probably one of the workers who had done this to you, I have changed all my workers recently. I apology again for this behaviour.
