I’ve been coming here for nearly four years now, and I can honestly say I’ve never had anything less than a perfect cut. Martin is a great barber! He is someone who genuinely cares about getting things right. He always takes the time to listen carefully to what I’m after, checks in throughout, and makes sure the end result is exactly what I want. On top of that, Martin is incredibly welcoming and makes every visit feel relaxed and enjoyable. It’s rare to find a barber who combines skill, care, and a great personality so effortlessly. I couldn’t recommend him more highly. If you’re looking for a barber who truly knows his stuff, this is the place for you!

Always tricky to find the right barber when you move somewhere new. Found Martin @ Highbury Cutting Guru when we moved to Islington neighbourhood... and have been going to him ever since. Excellent haircut, dependable booking, friendly, and remembers your cut to get it the way you want it every time.

Martin really knows how to handle a scissor cut with precision and attention to detail; he's a master at his craft and it shows. I've seen him a few times and each time I'm come out very pleased with the cut. On top of the great cut, the atmosphere in the beautiful shop was relaxed and welcoming. It made the whole experience comfortable and enjoyable. Martin is a barber who takes pride in delivering a proper cut - this is the place to go.

I would definitely recommend checking this place out. I moved to the area nearly two years ago looking for a local barber and have been going ever since. Martin, who runs the shop is a lovely, warm and welcoming guy. It’s as much a professional experience as it is a mate cutting you hair. You are in safe hands.
