Great service in my local barbers shop, always cheerful & friendly. I didn't have an appointment but was able to have my hair cut.

Melanie was wonderful and took the time to understand what I wanted in my haircut even though I don't know all the terminology. Staff were welcoming and facilities were clean. I noticed anytime a comb or clip got accidentally dropped it was immediately put aside and a fresh one used which is always a sign of a great hairdressers!
Edit: still coming to Melanie after several years, she's a lovely lady and hairdresser. I'm a plus sized woman and its so hard to find a hairdresser that can put you at ease, doesn't make you feel put down or awkward, and listens to you and gives you the haircut you want

A gentleman's barbers situated in the Willen local centre that has good and convenient opening times. The price list is clearly shown comprising a range of services. The decor is up to date and clean and staff friendly and welcoming. My cut was performed with minimum fuss and fairly quickly including a beard shape. All in all a great place and I will use their services again.
