The barbers
Jay Okafor
Senior Barber
Fade specialist. The reason half of Ancoats has the same haircut.
Tommy Nguyen
Barber
Scissor work and classic cuts. Quietest chair, sharpest partings.
Reece Salter
Junior Barber
Half-price chair while he earns his stripes. Book early, he's good.
Word on the street
★★★★★
Been to every barber in the NQ. This is the only one where the fade still looks good three weeks later.
★★★★★
Jay took a photo of the back so I could see the lineup. Detail like that is why you book ahead.
★★★★★
Hot-towel shave before my wedding. Best 20 quid of the whole weekend.
