Carl was right!!! My fiancé walked in after telling me to get a clean cut and shave for the wedding tomorrow… took one look at me and nearly called the cops, yelling that some handsome stranger had broken into our apartment! Top bloke, great chat, and a master with the clippers.

If you want a good laugh and a fast haircut, go see Carl. Called him Formula 1 — I was on the chair and out in 10 minutes with one of the best haircuts.

Found out last minute I had to travel for work and needed a haircut urgently. Thankfully this barbershop was open late, so I headed in — and I'm so glad I did!

Took my son here for his first haircut and couldn't be happier. I was really stressed about how he'd be in the chair, but Carl made it enjoyable for both of us. Thanks again Carl.

Best barber. Gave me a mid skin fade and cleaned the top up. Keeps it high quality with precision and really focuses on the small details. Better than any barber I've been to.
