Always take my son here for his haircuts, and the staff are great. Queues are normally less than five minutes, and prices still reasonable. Decor has now been fully updated, and they stayed open and working through the pandemic with face shields, spaced out seating etc. It's the cut and the service that counts.

Great cut, friendly staff. I happened to be shopping with my family and my mum was talking to my Barber, and she was so good and knowledgeable, that my mum agreed to have her hair cut immediately afterwards.
She went on to say it's better than her hairdresser, and at 25% the normal cost!
Worth checking out!
Update December 2021:
This has become my regular Barbers. Lenora is the best Barber that has ever cut my hair, although I can recommend all of the barbers. It's great service even when I do a walk-in rather than a booking. It's 5 stars from me

Duke street Barbers is well equipped for Covid 19 precautions,the booking system works very well and they send out a reminder the day before.
Brian ( The Baseball)has been cutting my hair or the last few years,it really good just to walk in and know he knows what I want,I get a really good haircut.
Plenty of banter,he is an Arsenal supporter and I am a Liverpool supporter so plenty of material.
He said you look like a film star now,oh you mean George Clooney I replied,no mate I mean Danny Devito ( no tip obviously lol )
I highly recommend this barber as your go to Tonsorialist

Fantastic barbers. Walk in or book online and be able to choose your barber. Great service with strong compliance with social distancing and safety throughout. Really good quality haircut and at such a reasonable price. I will back again as this is just the best. Thanks for another great haircut.

Always like going to this place! I have always found the people in there to be pleasant, welcoming and professional.
You can either walk in, or book an appointment online and choose who you would like to cut your hair, all the prices are online, so theres full transparency.
This place is brilliant!

My favourite barbers in Reading. Always friendly and the trims are good no matter who you go to. My favourite is Stewart as he really takes his time to make sure it’s good. £17 for a trim is quite dear, especially when I need to go every 3 week or so. For me it’s worth paying the extra 4 quid rather than going somewhere like M&M where it’s pretty hit or miss and you can walk away looking like a mug 😅

Have been coming to Duke St to have my hair cut for many years, and so happy to raise a hand to the barber shop here. Good central location and you don't have to wait too long. Good array of magazines to occupy you should it be busy on a Friday/Saturday. They will also be showing the football during the World Cup festivities. Can recommend H and Stuart among the other excellent staff. Good neat mens haircuts. Buzzz
