UPDATE: I returned after two years from my first visit and things haven't improved. The comment below by Ali is the person who cut my hair.
Overpriced for a rushed haircut - don't expect them to use a razor to shave your sideburns or any attention to detail. Walk down the road for a better haircut at a cheaper price. No COVID secure measures in place and the barber is anti-vaxxer who doesn't wear a face mask.

I went here today for a haircut for myself and my son. I had checked the website and there was a father and son offer. I called ahead, was told there was space, and that I could avail of that offer. Upon reaching , the experience was great: the staff were friendly and really accommodating of my young son's resistance to a haircut, and the attention to detail and the quality was good too. But I was charged almost double of the website price, and I was told that the website needed updating as due to covid, those offers could not be honoured. I could not understand the logic behind that; I tried protesting

I warn you guys, if you are looking for something more than just a clean shave of your head - do not go to this place.
Barber (the one in the pictures) was terrible. It was literally painful to get this "haircut". He was drying the hair on max hot, combing the hair so rough that I was in shock how is he still working with people. To say that the hair were cut uneven is an understatement, it was horrible. I went elsewhere the very next day to fix this mess. The whole experience took about 15 minutes, he was clearly in a hurry.
Paid 15 pounds, if I knew the result beforehand, would have paid
