No. 8 sits where a good barber should: a short walk from the train, between a coffee window and a record shop. Look for the striped pole and the number on the door.

The visit
- 01
Request a time
Choose a service and a time of day that suits you. Walk ins are welcome whenever a chair is free.
- 02
Arrive as you are
No need to wash or style your hair first. Wear it the way you normally do, so we can see how it sits.
- 03
Talk it through
Bring a photo or a few words. Tell us what you like now and what you would change.
- 04
Sit back
A hot towel, a careful cut and a finish you can repeat at home. Most visits take under an hour.
Before you come
How long will I be in the chair?
Between 20 minutes for a clipper cut and 80 minutes for the full service. Each line on the menu shows its time.
Can I bring my son?
Yes. Young gents under 12 have their own service, with a little extra patience built in for a first cut.
Do you take walk ins?
When a chair is free, yes. Requesting a time is the best way to avoid a wait on Saturdays.
What if I don’t like it?
Tell us before you leave and we will fix it then and there. A good cut is one you are happy to walk out with.
