Client Reviews
What Durham says
As a student I was worried about the price but the student rate is genuinely great value. The barbers are friendly, professional and actually listen to what you want.
Took my son for his first proper barber experience. The staff were so patient with him — he loved it. We'll definitely be regular customers.
The hot towel shave was an incredible experience. Very traditional, very skilled. Felt completely looked after. Highly recommend to anyone who's never tried it.
Clean shop, brilliant barbers and a great atmosphere. I've been coming every three weeks for over a year. Consistent every single time — that's rare.
Got a skin fade before a big job interview. They did a phenomenal job — I felt sharp and confident walking in. I think the haircut helped me get the job.
