Mick’s barbers - SuzySometimes in life you get, pleasantly, surprised!Having past retirement age, more than 4 years ago, I have sat in barber’s chairs, over the past 10 years & more … having spoken to the person about to cut my about … how I would like it to be cut – then sat & watched the same (OAP’s) haircut appear on my head!Just over a year ago (having thought that I had tried every barber’s shop in a 10 mile radius!) I thought that I would give it 1 last chance & called a “new (to me)” barbers shop that was a pleasant 20 minutes’ walk from where we live … holding my breath, I asked “if there was anyone available to cut my hair?” & was asked when I was available & made an appointment.My trepidation, on arrival, was soon overcome, when I was introduced to a very pleasant lady … called Suzy, who made me feel very relaxed with her smiling welcome. So I thought, at least the next 30 minutes of my life will not be so disappointing as my usual experience in barber’s shops.What followed was a complete revelation to me! Having sat down & exchanged some pleasantries’ Suzy asked me how I would like my hair to be cut? Well, I thought, do I waste another 2-3 minutes on telling the person about to cut my hair … how I would like it to be cut (?) to end up leaving the shop, 30 minutes later with the usual “OAP cut” (?), or just say … the usual for us 60 year-olds please (?)I gave it 1 last chance & told Suzy how … “I would like it cut” i.e. not the standard blue-print for some sad 60-yearold who was obviously not aware of how 60-yearolds’ are required to have their head half shaven & the standard length of each individual hair to be no more than ½ inch long.My “pleasant surprise” began to unfold as Suzy began to apply what I had asked for … not what I should accept! As well as the unfamiliar picture unfolding in front of me … of not seeing clumps of my hair falling to the floor … I actually found someone who was interesting to talk with, had a cheery manor & made my anxieties disappear.I can now say, with over a years’ experience, that I believe that I have found the 1 person … in over many years, who is: an accomplished hairdresser, listens to what the customer wants & is such a pleasant person to share a casual ½ hour with, each 4 weeks, chatting on all subjects, feeling relaxed & ending, without the need to screw-up your eyes & looking into the mirror in front of you, by actually saying how you feel about your hair, when asked … an all-round excellent experience.I also know, from the many comments that I heard, on arrival, when a previous client is leaving … Suzy’s talents are not exclusive to people of my age, but I have hear mothers leaving with their children & every age category … all being so happy to book their next appointment, with Suzy, while pouring complements on Suzy as they smilingly leave the shop.My advice … don’t take my word for it … if you really want to have your hair cut in the manner that you have requested & do not want to sit disappointingly watching someone else’s creation emerging on your head & want to have an all-round good experience, call Mick’s barbers & ask for Suzy.

Best barber shop about! Been going there 10 years. Great service and great staff! Highly recommend.

Didn't even get the chanse to pop in , THIS IS NOT A BARBER SHOP ! just some fancy hair dresser place , go somewere else they dont need your money ! (appointment only by booking) !

Easy to make an appointment and great service. Prices have gone up quite a bit since before COVID but an excellent hair cut all the same!

Local barber very friendly and reasonable price

Appointment based barbers who were very accommodating to give me a very good hair cut (thank you Laura) without appointment.

Brought my son in who's autistic because he finally allowed us to get his hair cut on one condition, and that was that he could have a Darwin nunez style. The lady barber was amazing with as were all the other staff who paid my son lots of compliments and made him feel special.

Been taking my boys here for 10 years after a couple of bad experiences elsewhere.Great staff who know their stuff.

Friendly, clean and professional. What more do you need. Will visit again. Best to book though.
