Customer Service

Pros:

• "Amazing barbers. Alex was lovely and incredibly professional."
• "Simply outstanding. I’ve been a regular there for the past year and Alex never disappointed me."

• "Fantastic personal service. Chris, Alex, Alec and Nas are really friendly and welcoming, very talkative."
• "Professional service, attention to detail, great surroundings and haircut by Alex."

Cons:

• "He was very dismissive and slightly rude while i was trying to explain he's not doing what i asked for."
• "Moreover, the hairstylist used scissors to lift up my hair but did not use his hand or comb, this action hurt me many times."
• "I was waiting 15 mins when someone came in the shop and was told to go wait upstairs, after 45 mins waiting my turn, down came the guy who arrived after me with his hair cut."
• "I am not sure if it has anything to do with my ethnicity. But the barber here served me today immediately started to have an unhappy face when I sit down on the second floor."
• "I went here and had a very skilled barber do a very good cut very quickly. I was extremely impressed with the quality. He also gave very good tips on how to style with product and adapted his advice given the types of products I prefer to use."
• "Few times in here now. This time round though it was so slap dash and quick. Clippers work on the back and sides was good but the top was just him hacking at the hair."
• "Never again. I first visited soon after this place first opened and had to stop the buffoon from cutting my hair his way, not how I had asked."
• "I've been going here just shy of a year now and have been extremely satisfied with every cut. Italian Alex pays close attention to your requests and takes his time to execute immaculately."

• "Great service, very friendly, don't make you feel like you're doing them a favour by being there, which is all too common with London barbers."

Cons:

• "I had a haircut here the second day after the government restrictions ended (13 April 2021). I appreciate that they were particularly busy but they didn’t clean between haircuts."
• "There’s two types of barbers. One that cuts hair and the other that understands hair. Pavement Barbers understand hair... Nigel was the first barber here who cut my hair. He done an amazing job! Sadly he moved to Canada."
• "I visited The Pavement Barber Shop recently, I have to say the service was impeccable, Chris gave me a great haircut, listened to what I wanted and delivered. Extremely welcoming place would 100% recommend Chris also."
• "Took my son (12) for a fade out cut amazing my son is really pleased with it, the barber (sorry didn't get his name taller of the two) could not have been more attentive, such attention to detail, fantastic customer service, I could have sat there for hours soaking in the lovely atmosphere nothing was too much trouble."
• "This place is fantastic! Great haircut, super friendly and really listened to what I wanted and delivered (especially given I'm not the best at explaining what I'm after). Not usually overly bothered where I get my haircut, but think I've now found the perfect partner."
• "Second visit to this barber. The decor and branding are well done. Very small unit with three chairs on ground floor and a further two up a corner spiral staircase."
• "Great venue, very warm welcome, barely a 5 min wait. Alex cut my hair, very thorough, good conversation. Gave advice and tips and talked through the haircut. Couldn’t have asked for better experience considering it was my first time."
