Zack's Barber

If I could leave a zero review I would. I placed an appointment online and had a confirmation. Turned up to a closed shop. Called the number to find out what was going on. Was told that he wasn’t working but the guy was on his way. Then I get a text message, not a call like he said he would, to tell me due to pride the shop was closed and that due to an IT issue I was allowed to book. But no one had the decency to pick up a phone and call me directly to apologise or to call me the day before so I could make alternative arrangements elsewhere. Poor excuses poor service!

The barber listened carefully to what I wanted and was very dedicated to giving me a good haircut. Would definitely recommend.

Been coming here for a couple of years - and although the staff have changed, still has welcoming chilled atmosphere and good service at great prices. Always happy to spend the time trimming, waxing and touching up details. Excellent little place

Been here for a standard haircut a few times, used to be excellent and amazing quality cuts, but now that a few of the good barbers have left it has gone down in standard. One of the new barbers is definitely too inexperienced to provide good cuts! Its a shame because I always liked the place

Okay cut but got fleeced on paying when the price advertised was bumped up. Shortsighted business strategy guys, I was looking for somewhere to go regularly.

I got a haircut and a beard trim from Zak a few weeks ago and have been meaning to write a review for weeks because it was such a wonderful experience. Zak absolutely went above and beyond expectations and I left the barbershop feeling pampered and well looked after. He paid so much attention to the details while cutting my hair and lining up my beard, using a straight edge razor to ensure perfect lines. He also shampooed and styled my hair, and exfoliated my face and gave me aftershave after finishing my beard. All this attention to detail and to the client while being so friendly and easy to chat with. I highly recommend visiting Zak for your next haircut.

Good service and good haircut for a cheap price.Update:Been here for several visits, staff is very friendly and have always had good conversations. So far, I haven't had a bad cut yet.

When I was a kid, there was only ever one barber. Always some old dude who just did the same thing for everyone to sit in the chair. Saturday mornings were always busy and I once announced in a cracking 11 year old voice that 'I wanted something for the weekend please, why do you never ask me?' - which is when I found out that before free condoms and condom machines in pub toilets were a thing, the barber who cut your hair tried secretly selling you a pack of condoms with the phrase 'and something for the weekend?'. I said no - I don't like chewing gum...So, I've passed Zacks Barbers (between Preston Circus and Preston Park) a few times. It seems to me to have a modern, trendy vibe - without being either a totally hipster cerulean tiled walls 'male experience salon' or a front for some swarthy two bit local money laundering gangsters with black and white pictures of Al Pacino, Robert DeNiro, Fabio and Leonardo DiCaprio bluetacked to the wall. [sigh].I actually filled out the online booking form the evening before - I think the site's a work in progress - it isn't as polished as the plate glass windows are.Offering the whole gamut you expect today from a £10 clipper buzzcut, scissor cuts, fades, beard stuff, the hot towel shave up to the somewhat mysterious hour long £35 Total Package, whatever that might be...!!Thanks to Adam for taking a wild mountain man gorilla abomination and turning it into the great looking, tidy, no daily upkeep routine required I asked for.A younger guy was all Edward Scissorhands who took care of my buddies cut - slightly more rigorous requirements than mine - he still blew it out of the water too.No ears wafted with flaming torches or unexpected facial massages but I suppose you could ask if you want.It's nice when a dude finds a good vibe or fit or regular barber/chair/shop - it's one less complication of life sorted, and by choice instead of necessity too.Twenty quid for half an hour is my barber comfort zone and when you get a neck taper without asking for one, you know you've been dealing with a professional.Highly highly recommended

Amazing place!! Offer you drinks before your cut. Very proffesional and well orientated stylists. Adam is a great barber. I never go to anyone else now.

My son came home with one of the worst haircuts I've ever seen. I am a barber of 30+ years and have taught barbering. My lad is too embarrassed to let me take him back and get a refund or I would. Might give them a tutorial whilst I'm there. Shocking.
