Bladez (Traditional Turkish Barber)

Did not listen to what I asked for (shaved sides, back and top kept long but cut to the same length, cut off 6 months of hair growth and tapered the back and the top completely removing the length from the back, asked several times do not cut the length from the back, was too late by that point. Now have to cut all the hair down and completely start regrowing it again. Lost 3/4 inches of hair when I asked for NO major length cutEdit: forgot to mention, all scissor work was scissor-over-comb, no sectioning, no guidelines or cross checking, no time taken to be attentive to curls direction or shape, very much speed over quality.

The problem with Bladez is their inconsistency in haircut quality. I've had a few haircuts that were really good, and are the reason I travel so far to get one, but I've also had too many that were appalling - today was a prime example:What I asked for:• Mid fade on the sides• Length on the top to remain the same. As someone with curly hair, I explained how although my fringe is long when pulled out, the curls tighten and make it look shorter - hence why I didn't want any length taken off.What I received:• Fade line inconsistent either side - one higher than other.• patches of shorter hair in the fade line.• High fade, with the fade line going up into the crown of my hair, which shouldn't have happened if shaped correctly. Fade should not have been a straight line round my head if head shape was taken into account.• No fade. Hair goes from a 0.5 to a 4 in the space of 2cm. As a result, rear of hair looks like a Google maps birds eye view of deforestation.• 3 months worth of hair growth taken from the fringe, ruining the curls in my hair.• Hair on the top of my head was not cut shorter to compensate for the then shorter fringe, meaning it has undue weight and looks odd.• no sectioning, guidelines or cross checking when cutting the fringe. Lack of attentiveness to curl direction/ cow licks in hair, resulting in n uneven fringe.• poor quality tapering to head shape.• Cologne sprayed on me without asking.

First time in a barbers for 30 odd years, just used to use clippers. These guys are amazing! Went for the Bladez Special" - a shave

Fabulous service received, will certainly return. Many barbers cannot deal with afro hair, it's no problem for these guys!

I popped in to Bladez for the first time today. Man, they're fast, efficient, and absolutely know what they're doing; I'd asked for the usual, from my now ex-barber, and my haircut turned out better here.Brilliant staff and cuts, and my new go-to!

Have been going to Bladez for the past 4 years. Never had an issue, the boys are friendly and great people.Feels nice to relax when getting your haircut, would never go to a UK barber again. Turkish all the way!!

Very friendly staff, decent pricing for what I got, and my hair and beard look great. Will be going back when needed.

Been coming to Ayden and Emrah for over 10 years now and they just keep getting better and better. Amazing ideas always available and upgrading the treatments with massages and face care. I always walk out feeling fresh and ready to smash the day!
