    Update: Chris and team have moved into their new premises... Looking outstanding as per the images. I believe a beauty and therapy room is on the horizon! Original: Haven't been to the Barbers in around 10 years. Generally pretty dubious as mostly I go out with something I don't really want. Chris pretty much knew what I wanted with minimal instructions. We tried out a few test cuts to make sure all was good. Within a few minutes he was chopping away and the end result was bang on. Good atmosphere and friendly service. Pricing is fair, and I'm confident he won't let you leave until your 100% happy with your cut. Very honest team. They really love their work and doing a good job really means a lot to them!
