“I e alway struggled to find a Barber, one whose focus on hair cut, wasn’t just taken from a photo on their window. As such it’s taken a long time to find that place, going from place to place never really feeling like ‘they’ cared or that they knew you. Plenty hairdressers claim to be somewhere you can go and feel comfortable and they treat you the same but most of the time, you’re either ‘just a customer’ or you feel like a third wheel as the barbers or hairdressers say hi to their pals. This being the case, I’ll travel anywhere I feel I can get a cut, that’s all of these; that I feel they care and remember me, as a customer. They know how my hair grows and through my ramblings know what suits and what I’m trying to convey. Travelling from Kirkcaldy on the bus, means I rate this place a lot. I would not travel here otherwise. The atmosphere is always nice, jovial, with banter between the barbers making a place that’s comfortable and inviting. The shop itself is such an interesting place to be with elements around to keep your eye busy if you are of a quiet demeanour. There’s always great tunes on, and in late November, they’ll have a nice display in the window too. I always choose Ryan, great guy very knowledgable and just a great person to chat too. Again he’ll recognise if you maybe of a more silent type, and broach conversations when they’re appropriate and always, always and most important; he knows how to cut hair, with and without a trimmer. Most ‘barber shops’ you’ll see rely far too heavily on them as the main tool; Ryan’s more old school than that. Sipping from one to other with grace. And if there’s time or if you ask he’ll do a wee bread trim and of course the obligatory eyebrow de-fuze; always a must if you’re at that age, which I am. I’d highly recommend this place.”

“Amazing Experience getting my haircut after booking the wrong service online initally, Jordan ensured to fit me in at a later time. Hair wash and head massage by barber was so relaxing after a long week. Jordan did an absolute fabulous cut, fixing a unfortunate cut received at another salon and Jordan did everything I asked for. Thank you so much, a beautiful salon with very friendly welcoming staff, will be back!”

“Teresa did a balayage on my hair and it's absolutely gorgeous. She was very professional and spoke about colours and what I wanted before we started. Teresa even went the extra mile and out a curl through my hair for me and a conditioner treatment for free as my hair was dry. The salon is warm and has a friendly atmosphere where I truly felt welcome and not out of place which is unusual in this day and age. A rare find and my new forever salon. Thank you Teresa!”

The lady who was supposed to be doing my hair was poorly (hope you're feeling better!) so last minute they had to shuffle some appointments.
