Alex is amazing I went with my son who is on the spectrum and has the worst sensory issues. I don't know how but my son who is a wiggly worm sat so still and even let Alex use clippers on him without crying or moving around. he is so kind sweet and patient and made my sons hair look amazing we cant wait to come back!

Alex is an excellent barber - cuts curly hair with scissors - the way it should be (for any hair, really, except for fades)

I'd been going to the same barber for a while, but decided to try a new place. I wanted something a little different than just a simple barber cut. After reading reviews of Friend Of A Barber, I decided to book an appointment with Mark. Turns out I got the best haircut I've ever had. Mark asked me how I wanted my hair cut. He listened and proceeded to do exactly what I asked for. He didn't rush through it, like a lot of Barbers do.He used both clippers and scissors to achieve the cut I wanted. I could tell he really cares and wants to give his clients the cuts they ask for. If you're looking for a Barber Shop that feels more top end, Friend Of A Barber is the place to go. I'll now be going to see Mark, for all my haircuts.
