Alexander's Barbershop

Always kind patient and adaptable, nothing is too much bother and despite meltdowns my little one always gets a good haircut!

Bonnie is so lovely and is great with my little boy who gets very nervous having his hair cut after some bad experiences in the past at other salons. He likes sitting in the little car in the private room watching the tablet

Jake's brilliant, great conversation and massive skill, more than comfortable to give him free reign of a design to do in my undercut! Highly recommend :)

Get my hair cut by Jonny as he is top class. Would highly recommend him or any other barber here, they are all amazing

We had a great experience with Kelly for our son’s first hair cut. Quick and efficient, more importantly was able to make my son feel relaxed and comfortable in a new environment. Kelly is the perfect person for this kind of job!His hair looked fab, she did a great job considering she had a toddler bouncing up and down in the car chair. We were even given a little box as a keepsake for some hair from his first hair cut. All round great experience for us all and will be back again - thank you Kelly!

Bonnie is 5 star. All the staff are so friendly, its a really nice atmosphere and my boys feel very relaxed when their having their hair done, especially with Bonnie's patience with younger ones. Only started going to Alexander's a few months ago and won't be going anywhere else from now on.

I am absolutely gutted about my experience here. I took my 12 year old son who had very long hair - it was past his shoulders. The guy asked what we wanted and how he wears it. I said I’m not too sure what we want it’s looking a little untidy at the moment due to it having a layer where the longest bit flicks out and the top layer curls in, but he likes to wear it in a pony or topknot or slick back. He said… okay I’ll make it one length without layers then, I said yeah, and it’s super thick too so he said he would thin it. He asked my son if he wanted to keep it long he said yes, maybe to his lips at the shortest.Halfway through I thought the guy was putting layers in but I decided to trust the process as I am not a hairdresser and maybe it was how it was thinned. Towards the end it was very short and I could tell it was being put into some style that neither of us had asked for, the back is full of layers that look absolutely terrible and weren’t thinned so it looks even worse due to blunt cut layers against his thick hair. I think it looks like i have attempted to YouTube layers and cut it myself at home. I literally was crying silently by the end and no one acknowledged me or checked on what the barber was doing to warrant my tears. The length… something we asked for to his mouth, Is now to his eyebrows and it’s layered there too. My son is very shy and his long hair is a part of him - he just went with the guy cutting it and then when he asked is this okay when he went shorter because I hadn’t stepped in, it was already too late anyway as the back was so short that him keeping the new curtains longer or not didn’t make a difference. I understand that this is a barbers and they were working with long hair and not a typical fade cut. However I wish they would have just said it was beyond their skill set. I wanted to walk my son back into the shop once I realised he too hated it and was tearful, to ask them to fix the back at least but he said he just wanted to go home. I will be taking him elsewhere to have it fixed, and he will have to grow it for a year again. But I wanted to write an honest review about the experience and honestly the bad haircut which regardless if we hadn’t wanted the short hair the style or not, it wasn’t a great cut. I have tried to attached photos of before when it was long; and after. You can see my son is visibly upset. I just wanted to get him out of there. I am still devastated for him about this. He can’t even wear it in a pony anymore.I am just adding on my reply to your comment…firstly we did not have numerous conversations, I contacted the barbers myself to say how upset I was and Alex apologised and asked me to send photos which I did, you then called me later to apologise and yes you did offer me to come back and have a look/fix it which I declined due to having no trust - you also sent a refund. That is the only communication we had.Secondly, do not make assumptions about my 12 year old who you did not meet or know. He is very shy and does not talk and is not confident. He had told me what he wanted, I communicated it to the barber. The communication was, no layers just one length, and to his chin/lip at the shortest, my child and myself at no point communicated layers even if the length was short.What was delivered was an absolute mess full of layers and a bodge cut (which I have photos of) he did ask my son, is this okay? As he was trying to fix whatever he had started and my shy child said yeah sure because he is not confident. I have photos of him with tears in his eyes in the shop still as soon as we were in the other room. He did not want that but regardless I had told the barber and I am the parent and it is ultimately my choice.Finally the cut had been done so badly that the barbers I sent him to to correct it were shocked, they all came to have a look and make suggestions. The layers were uneven and to correct it, it needed to go very short. I’m willing to upload photos of the uneven layers. I have added a before and the afters.

Excellent barbers. Friendly, fun atmosphere, and a banging haircut every time whoever you go with. Jake did a fab job. Feel welcome, safe, and valued every time i go.

Just had a luxury hot towel beard trim, and wow was it luxury! Really pleased with the haircut and service too. Thanks Jake. Will be returning.
